Lovulla lovulla lovulla lovulla vizhunthuten
Naan avala avala avala avala nenachuten
I have fallen in love, in love, in love, in love
I have forgotten my worries, worries, worries, worries
I kept thinking of her, of her, of her, of her
Now I have lost track of day, day, day, and night
I saw a statue made of butter in Chennai
Ever since that day, I became something else entirely
I became, I became, I became something unknown
I went away, I went away, I wandered somewhere far away
...
I cannot say you are like a statue
Hey girl, no statue gives off a sweet fragrance like you do
I cannot think of you as just a river
When you walk, a crowd like an ocean gathers on the street
Creating women and men here
Is the work of Brahma
When he created your nose and your eyes
He must have been in a romantic mood
You made me confess my love
You made me leap around like a fish
What happened, what occurred, something unknown has happened
...
You relentlessly kindle a fire upon my soul
Hey girl, you show me clearly what pain truly is
Love appears as small as an ant
Sometimes it turns into an elephant and tramples us
If a bone breaks, a plaster cast can mend it
Only love knows how to apply medicine to the heart
The sky brushes right above my head
Everything seems turned upside down
Something unknown Chorus: Something unknown
I became Chorus: I became
Somewhere Chorus: Somewhere
I went away Chorus: I went away
...
I have fallen in love, in love, in love, in love
I kept thinking of her, of her, of her, of her

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Lovulla Lovulla Vizhunthuten from Ivan Veramathiri captures the chaotic, high-energy joy of falling head over heels in love. The protagonist expresses how meeting his love interest turned his ordinary world upside down, making him lose track of time and forget his daily troubles. Through playful imagery, he praises her beauty and describes how deeply she dominates his thoughts. The lyrics use humorous hyperbole—suggesting even Lord Brahma was in a special mood while crafting her beauty—and metaphorically contrast love's initial subtle feel (like an ant) with its overwhelming emotional power (like an elephant). Ultimately, the song portrays love as both a chaotic disruption and the ultimate cure for a restless heart.
