கொஞ்சும்
கிளி பாட வெச்சா
கும்மாலமும் போட
வெச்சா வீதியில ஆட
வெச்சா டா
She made the lisping parrot sing
She made me celebrate with joyous delight
She made me dance in the street, my friend
கோயிலில
சூடம் வெச்சா
கொண்டையில பூவும்
வெச்சா பார்வையில
காந்தம் வெச்சா டா
She lit camphor in the sacred temple
She placed fresh flowers in her hair bun
She put a powerful magnet in her glance, my friend
வெட்கம் அத
தள்ளி வெச்சா விலங்காம
புள்ளி வெச்சா அத்தனையும்
சொல்லி வெச்சா டா அந்த
புள்ளை ஏதோ அப்படியே
துள்ளி வெச்சா டா
She pushed away all her shyness
She laid down a tricky little trap
She calculated and planned it all out, my friend
That girl somehow managed to
Make my heart leap with excitement, my friend
ஊதுபத்தி போல
என்ன வாசம் வீச வெச்சா
தன்னந்தனியாக என்ன
தானே பேச வெச்சா சூரியன
போல அவ கண்ணுலதான்
பார்வையில சூரதேங்கா
ஆனேன் டா
Like a sweet incense stick, she made me
Spread fragrance everywhere around
All by myself in solitude
She made me talk to myself
Like the bright sun shining down
In her mesmerizing gaze
I got smashed like a sacrificial coconut, my friend
கட்டிவெச்ச
பூவெடுத்து கூந்தலுல
வெக்கயில நாரா நானும்
போனேன்டா
When she took a string of woven flowers
And placed it inside her long hair
I unravelled like the fiber holding them, my friend
ரெட்டகிளி
தீபெட்டியா நெஞ்சு
குழி பத்திக்குச்சு வேற
ஒன்னும் வேணான்டா
Like a Double Parrot matchbox striking
The depth of my chest caught fire
I do not need anything else in this world, my friend
ஆயிசுக்கும்
அந்த புள்ள ஒன்னு
மட்டும் போதுமுன்னு
ஜோரா வாழ்ந்து
சாவேண்டா
For my entire life, that girl
Just her alone is more than enough
To live grandly and then die happily, my friend
கொஞ்சும்
கிளி பாட வெச்சா
கும்மாலமும் போட
வெச்சா வீதியில ஆட
வெச்சா டா
She made the lisping parrot sing
She made me celebrate with joyous delight
She made me dance in the street, my friend
கோயிலில
சூடம் வெச்சா
கொண்டையில பூவும்
வெச்சா பார்வையில
காந்தம் வெச்சா டா
She lit camphor in the sacred temple
She placed fresh flowers in her hair bun
She put a powerful magnet in her glance, my friend
போகயில அந்த
புள்ள பொண்ணு மாறி
பொக்குனு சிரிக்கயில
முத்து மாரி
When that girl walks past me
She is delicate like a blossom
When she smiles softly
She shines like a precious pearl
கால் கொலுச
பார்க்கயில வெள்ளி
மாறி போடா அவ மாறி
யாரு பொழிவா யாரு
பொழிவா பூமியில காதல்
பூ மாறி
When you look at her jingling anklets
She glimmers like pure silver
Go on, tell me who can ever match her?
Who shines like her, who shines like her?
She is like a flower of love blooming on earth
கத்திரி வெயிலு
உச்சியில வீச அப்படி
குளிரும் அந்த புள்ள
பேச
Even when the harsh summer heat
Beats down from directly overhead
It feels delightfully cool
When that girl speaks to me
சாராயத்தில்
ஏது போத அந்த புள்ள
பாத்தா சட்டுனு தான்
மாறும் பாத தான
தன்னானானே
What real high is there in alcohol?
When you look at that girl
The whole path of life shifts instantly
Tala refrain rhythm
முன்னால நான்
காமராசு அந்த புள்ளையால
இப்போ நானும் தேவதாசு
தான தனனானா னானே
Earlier I was a king of desire
Because of that girl
Now I have turned into a lovesick Devdas

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic folk track captures the euphoric infatuation of a young man hopelessly smitten by a girl's charm and playful nature. He describes how her glances, smiles, and mere presence completely upend his everyday life—making him talk to himself, feel instantly cooled in scorching heat, and feel a excitement far greater than any alcohol could provide.
