முதலாய் முதன்
முதலாய் ஒரு பெண்ணை
பார்த்து தோற்கிறேன் துகளாய்
சிறு துகளாய் என் நெஞ்சை
நானும் பார்கிறேன்
For the very first time
I am losing myself looking at a girl
Like small specks of dust
I see my own heart scattering
காத்தாடி மேலே
அட கை ரெண்டும் கீழே
வெறும் காற்றோடும்
மறையும் ஒரு நூலா
என் காதலே
The kite is high up in the sky
Ah, both hands are down below
It disappears with just the breeze
Is my love like a fragile thread?
கண்ணாடி போலே
நான் என் காதல் காட்ட
அது தெரியாமல் நின்றால்
நான் என்ன செய்ய காதலே
Like a mirror
When I show my love to her
If she stands without understanding it
My love, what am I supposed to do?

Hey beautiful girl, stylish girl
My entire heart is like glass
I am breaking into pieces because of you, girl
Hey, come here, go there
Give me your love, girl
I ask for it automatically, girl
கூர மேல கல்ல
போல உன்ன சுத்தி வந்தேனடி
மனச நீ தூக்கி போட்டா
கொத்திகிட்டு போவேனடி
Like a stone sitting on the roof
I kept hovering around you, girl
If you throw your heart away
I will swoop down and pick it up
அடி புடிச்ச பாறை
போல நான் கொழைஞ்சேன்
தெரியாதா தடம் புடிக்கும்
மனச நீயும் அரவணைக்க
முடியாதா
Like a burnt/scorched rock
I melted away, don't you know?
Can't you embrace this heart
That is trying to find its path?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This track blends classical devotional invocations to Lord Krishna with modern romantic expressions. The protagonist expresses how falling in love for the very first time has rendered him vulnerable and helpless, scattering his composure like dust in the wind. He compares his fragile emotional state to a kite severed from its thread or a delicate mirror prone to breaking. Throughout the song, he directly addresses his beloved, pleading for her affection and understanding. He describes his devotion to her, hovering around her faithfully and melting under her gaze, while contrasting his desperate romantic situation against the tranquil chantings of traditional devotional praises to Krishna.

Trivia
