மனம் விரும்புதே
உறங்காமலே கண்ணும் கண்ணும்
சண்டை போடுதே
My heart desires you, only you
My heart desires
Without sleeping, both eyes
Are fighting with each other
நினைத்தாலே சுகம்தானடி
நெஞ்சில் உன் முகம்தானடி
அய்யய்யோ மறந்தேனடி

அடடா நீ ஒரு பார்வை பார்த்தாய்
அழகாய்த்தான் ஒரு புன்னகை பூத்தாய்
அடிநெஞ்சில் ஒரு மின்னல் வெட்டியது
Aha! You cast a glance at me
Beautifully, a smile blossomed from you
Lightning struck deep inside my heart
அதிலே என் மனம் தெளியும் முன்னே
அன்பே உந்தன் அழகு முகத்தை
யார் வந்தென் இளமார்பில் ஒட்டியது
Before my mind could even clear from that
My love, your beautiful face
Who came and stuck it onto my youthful chest?
புயல் வந்து போனதொரு வனமாய்
ஆனதடி என்னுள்ளம்
என் நெஞ்சில் உனது கரம் வைத்தால்
என் நிலமை அது சொல்லும்
Like a forest devastated by a storm
My inner self has become
If you place your hand on my chest
It will tell you my condition
மனம் ஏங்குதே ...ஏ...
மனம் ஏங்குதே
மீண்டும் காண மனம் ஏங்குதே
My heart yearns...
My heart yearns...
To see you again... my heart yearns...

மழையோடு நான் கரைந்ததுமில்லை
வெயிலோடு நான் உருகியதில்லை
பாறை போல் என்னுள்ளம் இருந்ததடி
I have never dissolved with the rain
I have never melted in the scorching heat
My heart was firm like a solid rock, my girl
மலைநாட்டுக் கரும்பாறை மேலே
தலை காட்டும் சிறு பூவைப்போலே
பொல்லாத இளம் காதல் பூத்ததடி
Like a tiny flower showing its head
Upon a dark rock in the hill country
A mischievous young love has blossomed, my girl
சட்டென்று சலனம் வருமென்று
ஜாதகத்தில் சொல்லையே
நெஞ்சோடு காதல் வருமென்று
நேற்றுவரை நம்பலையே
That a sudden restlessness would occur
Was never predicted in my horoscope
That love would arrive deep within my heart
I did not believe until yesterday
என் காதலி..ஈஈ.....
என் காதலி...........
நீ வா நீ வா ......என் காதலி
My lover...
My lover...
Come to me, come to me... my lover...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Manam Virumbuthae' from Nerrukku Ner (1997) is a romantic song capturing the sudden, overwhelming onset of first love. The protagonist expresses how a fleeting glance and smile from a stranger struck his heart like lightning, completely transforming his inner world. Despite falling deeply in love and being consumed by thoughts of her face, he humorously realizes that he does not even know her name yet. He describes his previously unshakeable heart as a hard rock on which love has bloomed like a tender flower, expressing his longing to meet her again. Composed by Deva with lyrics by Vairamuthu, the song vividly conveys the sweet turmoil and wonder of falling in love at first sight.
