கரிச்சான் குயிலே
சிரிச்ச மயிலே
கவுந்தேன் ஆள மடக்கி
ஓடி அவ மாயமாகுறாளே
O black cuckoo bird
O smiling peacock
I fell for her as she won me over
Running away, she vanishes like magic
வெறிச்சா வெயிலே
அடிச்ச புயலே
செவந்தேன் மூளைக்குள்ள
தேடி வந்து
அவ தாளம் போடுறாளே
O scorching sunlight
O striking storm
Inside my reddened brain
Coming in search of me
She taps a rhythmic beat
அசலா அவ எனக்காக
கெடச்சாலே கணக்காக
ஒறக்கம் கலைக்கும் சுகத்த
அவ தானமாக கொடுத்தா
Authentically for me
She was found as a perfect match
The bliss that disturbs my sleep
She gave it to me as a gift
நழுவாத நங்கூரம்
நடு நெஞ்சில் வெதச்சாளே
தனியா முழுசா
அவதான் அரசாளுறா....
An anchor that never slips
She sowed in the middle of my heart
All alone, completely
She alone rules over me
அடி பார்வையாள ஈட்டியாக
பாத்து மெரட்டுறியே
பழகாத போதை ஊட்டி
நீயும் ஆள மயக்குறியே
Hey, like a spear with your gaze
You look at me and intimidate me
Feeding an unfamiliar intoxication
You mesmerize a person
அடி காரமாக கூரு போட்டு
காதல் கொடுக்குறியே
அடி ஆழம் போயி ஆற போடும்
மருந்தா இனிக்குறியே
அடியே.....
Hey, slicing me up with spice
You offer your love
Hey, going deep and cooling things down
You taste sweet like a medicine
Hey girl...
ஹேய் கட்டாத காளை போல
நான் கம்பீரமாதான் போக
என் கண்ணால மோதி
என்னை நீ சாய்கிற
Hey, like an untamed bull
As I walked with majesty
Colliding with my eyes
You make me tilt and fall
ஹேய் சொல்லாத ஆசை தூங்க
நான் செல்லாத காசா ஏங்க
தினம் உன்னோட ஓசை
கேட்டு கேட்டு முழிக்கிறேன்
Hey, as unspoken desires sleep
While I long like an invalid coin
Every day, the sound of you
Hearing it again and again, I wake up
பாலம் போட்டு நானும்தான்
பரிமாற பாக்குறேன்
வெடி போட்டு ஒடச்சாயே
காலை மாலை தோனல
கனநேரம் தூங்கல
கலைச்சாயே கனவே
Building a bridge, I too
Try to exchange love
You blew it up with explosives and broke it
I can't feel whether it's morning or evening
I haven't slept even for a second
You shattered my dreams
திரை போட்டு நீயும்
தேட தேட
ஓடி ஒளியிரியே
இரவாக நானும் ஓஞ்சு போக
வெளிச்சம் கொடுக்குறியே
கடிகார முள்ள போல என்னை
வாட்டி சொழட்டுறியே
கடிவாளம் மாட்டி பாதை காட்டி
என்னை என்னை என்னை அழைக்கிற
Putting up a curtain, you
As I search and search
Run away and hide
As I exhaust myself becoming like the night
You provide me with light
Like the hands of a clock
You torment and spin me around
Putting on a bridle and showing the path
You call me, call me, call me
அடி பார்வையாள ஈட்டியாக
பாத்து மெரட்டுறியே
பழகாத போதை ஊட்டி
நீயும் ஆள மயக்குறியே
Hey, like a spear with your gaze
You look at me and intimidate me
Feeding an unfamiliar intoxication
You mesmerize a person
அடி காரமாக கூரு போட்டு
காதல் கொடுக்குறியே
அடி ஆழம் போயி ஆற போடும்
மருந்தா இனிக்குறியே
அடியே.....
Hey, slicing me up with spice
You offer your love
Hey, going deep and cooling things down
You taste sweet like a medicine

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song is a energetic romantic track expressing the protagonist's deep fascination and sweet frustration with his beloved. He compares her striking beauty and playful nature to natural forces such as storms, sunshine, peacocks, and cuckoos. She has completely taken over his mind and heart, disrupting his sleep and keeping him captivated in a state of sweet intoxication. Throughout the track, he describes how she plays hide-and-seek with his feelings—sometimes teasingly intimidating him with her sharp glances like a spear, and other times offering comfort like a soothing potion. Despite the chaos she brings into his calm life, he surrenders happily to her charm and accepts her complete rule over his heart.
