| Male | |
| Kaadhal pirakindra paruvam paruvam | The age when love is born, |
| Mounam purikindra tharunam tharunam | The moment when silence speaks, |
| Kangal kalakindra nimidam nimidam | The minute when eyes meet, |
| Kaalgal thodarkindra nadanam nadanam | The dance that feet follow, |
| Female | |
| Lesa parakuthu manasu manasu | The mind floats lightly, lightly, |
| Yedho nadakuthu vayasula | Something is happening at this age, |
| Lesa nazhuvuthu kolusu kolusu | The anklet slips lightly, lightly, |
| Engae vizhunthathu theriyala | I do not know where it fell, |
| Male | |
| Sundeli valayila nellapol unthan nenapa yenakulla sekura | Like a mouse collecting grain in its burrow, I gather your thoughts inside me, |
| Allipoo kolathula kallapol unthan kanvizhi thaakida suthi suthi ninna | Like a stone hit in a lily pond, your eyes struck me while I stood around, |
| Male | |
| Karucha kuruvikum mayakam mayakam | Even the black sparrow feels dizziness, dizziness, |
| Kanavula dhinamum methakum methakum | Floating daily in dreams, floating, |
| Kaadhal vanthathum kuthikum kuthikum | Once love arrives, it leaps and jumps, |
| Siragaal vaanathai idikum idikum | Striking the sky with its wings, striking, |
| Female | |
| Lesa parakuthu manasu manasu | The mind floats lightly, lightly, |
| Yedho nadakuthu vayasula | Something is happening at this age, |
| Lesa nazhuvuthu kolusu kolusu | The anklet slips lightly, lightly, |
| Engae vizhunthathu theriyala | I do not know where it fell, |
| Female | |
| Thathi thathi pogum pacha pulla polae | Like a toddler toddling along, |
| Pothi vechuthaanae manasu irunthadhae | My heart was kept hidden and safe, |
| Thiruvizhaa kootathil tholayiren sugamaa | I get delightfully lost in a festival crowd, |
| Male | |
| Thonda kuzhi thaandi vaartha varavilla | Words refuse to come past my throat, |
| Yennenavo pesa uthadu nenachathu | My lips wished to say so many things, |
| Paarvaya paathathum yethama patharuthu | The moment I meet your gaze, my heart flutters pleasantly, |
| Raathiri pagalathaan nenjula raatinam suthuthadi | Day and night, a giant wheel spins in my heart, girl, |
| Female | |
| Pootuna veetulathaan puthusa pataam poochi parakuthada | Inside a locked house, new butterflies fly around, boy, |
| Male | |
| Karucha kuruvikum mayakam mayakam | Even the black sparrow feels dizziness, dizziness, |

காதல் பிறக்கின்ற
பருவம் பருவம் மௌனம்
புரிகின்ற தருணம் தருணம்
கண்கள் கலக்கின்ற நிமிடம்
நிமிடம் கால்கள் தொடர்கின்ற
நடனம் நடனம்
The age when love is born,
The moment when silence speaks,
The minute when eyes meet,
The dance that feet follow,
லேசா பறக்குது
மனசு மனசு ஏதோ நடக்குது
வயசுல லேசா நழுவுது
கொலுசு கொலுசு எங்கே
விழுந்தது தெரியல
The mind floats lightly, lightly,
Something is happening at this age,
The anklet slips lightly, lightly,
I do not know where it fell,
சுண்டெலி வலையில
நெல்ல போல் உந்தன் நெனப்ப
எனக்குள்ள சேக்குற அல்லிப்பூ
குளத்துல கல்ல போல் உந்தன்
கண் விழி தாக்கிட சுத்தி சுத்தி
நின்ன
Like a mouse collecting grain in its burrow, I gather your thoughts inside me,
Like a stone hit in a lily pond, your eyes struck me while I stood around,
கருச்சா குருவிக்கும்
மயக்கம் மயக்கம் கனவுல
தினமும் மிதக்கும் மிதக்கும்
காதல் வந்ததும் குதிக்கும்
குதிக்கும் சிறகால் வானத்தை
இடிக்கும் இடிக்கும்
Even the black sparrow feels dizziness, dizziness,
Floating daily in dreams, floating,
Once love arrives, it leaps and jumps,
Striking the sky with its wings, striking,
லேசா பறக்குது
மனசு மனசு ஏதோ நடக்குது
வயசுல லேசா நழுவுது
கொலுசு கொலுசு எங்கே
விழுந்தது தெரியல
The mind floats lightly, lightly,
Something is happening at this age,
The anklet slips lightly, lightly,
I do not know where it fell,
தத்தி தத்தி போகும்
பச்ச புள்ள போல பொத்தி
வெச்சுத்தானே மனசு
இருந்ததே திருவிழா
கூட்டத்தில் தொலையுறேன்
சுகமா
Like a toddler toddling along,
My heart was kept hidden and safe,
I get delightfully lost in a festival crowd,
தொண்ட குழி தாண்டி
வார்த்தை வரவில்ல
என்னென்னவோ பேச
உதடு நெனச்சது பார்வைய
பார்த்ததும் எதமா பதறுது
ராத்திரி பகலாதான் நெஞ்சுல
ராட்டினம் சுத்துதடி
Words refuse to come past my throat,
My lips wished to say so many things,
The moment I meet your gaze, my heart flutters pleasantly,
Day and night, a giant wheel spins in my heart, girl,
பூட்டுன வீட்டுல
தான் புதுசா பட்டாம் பூச்சி
பறக்குதடா
Inside a locked house, new butterflies fly around, boy,
கருச்சா குருவிக்கும்
மயக்கம் மயக்கம் கனவுல
தினமும் மிதக்கும் மிதக்கும்
காதல் வந்ததும் குதிக்கும்
குதிக்கும் சிறகால் வானத்தை
இடிக்கும் இடிக்கும்
Even the black sparrow feels dizziness, dizziness,
Floating daily in dreams, floating,
Once love arrives, it leaps and jumps,
Striking the sky with its wings, striking,
லேசா பறக்குது
மனசு மனசு ஏதோ
நடக்குது வயசுல
The mind floats lightly, lightly,
Something is happening at this age,
பூவா விரியுற
உலகம் உலகம் தரிசா
கிடந்தது இது வரை
The world is blossoming like a flower,
It lay barren until now,
ஒத்த மரம் போலே
செத்து கெடந்தேனே உன்ன
பார்த்த பின்னே உசுரு
பொழச்சது சொந்தமா
கிடைப்பியா சாமிய கேப்பேன்
I lay withered like a solitary tree,
After seeing you, my life revived,
I will ask God if you will belong to me,
ரெட்டை ஜட போட்டு
துள்ளி திரிஞ்சேனே உன்ன
பார்த்த பின்னே வெட்கம்
புரிஞ்சதே உனக்கு தான்
உனக்கு தான் பூமியில்
பிறந்தேன் காவடி சுமப்பது
போல் மனசு காதலை
சுமக்குதடா
I used to jump around with double braids,
After seeing you, I understood what shyness is,
Only for you, only for you was I born on this earth,
My heart carries love like carrying a heavy Kaavadi,
கனவுல நீ வருவ
அதனால் கண்ணு தூங்கலடி
You appear in my dreams, so my eyes do not sleep, girl,
கருச்சா குருவிக்கும்
மயக்கம் மயக்கம் கனவுல
தினமும் மிதக்கும் மிதக்கும்
காதல் வந்ததும் குதிக்கும்
குதிக்கும் சிறகால் வானத்தை
இடிக்கும் இடிக்கும்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Lesa Parakuthu' depicts the sweet, overwhelming sensation of falling in love during youth. The dual perspectives express how love brings a sudden transformation into their lives, filling them with fluttery excitement, innocent shyness, and constant thoughts of each other. Rural metaphors like collecting grains in burrows or festival crowds beautifully convey their intense emotional transition.
