| Sirikkuren parakkuren | I am laughing, I am flying |
| Kirukkula kezhakkula | In madness, lost in direction |
| Urakkamtha tholaikkuren | I am losing my sleep |
| Unakkedhu irukka | Do you feel something like this too? |
| Usurula medhakkuren | I am floating in my life |
| Neruppula nadakkuren | I am walking on fire |
| Idhayatha izhukkura | You pull my heart |
| Eriyura neruppa | Like a burning fire |

சிரிக்கிறேன் பறக்குறேன்
கிறுக்குல கிழக்குல
உறக்கம்தா தொலைக்கிறேன்
உனக்கேது இருக்கா
உசுருள மெதக்குறேன்
நெருப்புல நடக்குறேன்
இதயத்த இழுக்கிற
எரியுற நெருப்பா
I am laughing, I am flying
In madness, lost in direction
I am losing my sleep
Do you feel something like this too?
I am floating in my life
I am walking on fire
You pull my heart
Like a burning fire
நெஞ்சுல எப்போதும்
வைப் தான் ஆயாச்சே
ரோப் தான் இல்லாம
நீ இழுக்கிற என்னை விழியில
In my heart, always
It has become a whole vibe
Even without a rope
You pull me towards you
Through your eyes
மர மர மர மர மரங் கொத்தியே
மன மன மனசுல நெருங்கிட்டியே
மர மர மர மர மரங் கொத்தியே
முதல் முதல் பார்த்ததும் மயக்கிட்டியே
Oh woodpecker, pecking repeatedly
You came close into my heart
Oh woodpecker, pecking repeatedly
You charmed me the very first time you saw me
மன மன
மனசுல நெருங்கிட்டியே
மர மர மரங் கொத்தியே
பார்த்ததும் மயக்கிட்டியே
In my mind...
You came close into my heart
Oh woodpecker
You charmed me as soon as you looked at me
யாரும் என்னை பார்த்தா
கண்டுக்கவே மாட்டேன்
உன்னை மட்டும் கண்டேனே டா
சொல்லி கொடுத்தாலும்
வெட்கம் பட மாட்டேன்
If anyone else looks at me
I won't even pay attention
I only noticed you, my dear
Even if someone teaches me
I won't feel shy
I am losing myself
பத்து மணிக்குள்ளே
எந்திரிக்க மாட்டேன்
இப்போ எனக்கு தூக்கம் இல்ல
என்னோடைய இடத்த
விட்டு தர மாட்டேன்
உன்கிட்ட விழுந்தேன்
Before ten o'clock
I used to never wake up
Now I have no sleep at all
My own place and stance
I won't give up easily
Yet I fell for you
ஓ சிங்கள் ஆ இருந்தா
மனச நீ
சிக்க வெச்சி போற
ஓகே பக்கமா இருந்தும்
என்னை தான் நீ
கண்டுக்காம போற
Oh, my heart that was single
My heart
You trapped it and left
Oh, despite being so close by
Me, indeed
You ignore and walk away
...............
...
ஓ மரங் கொத்தியே
மனசுல நெருங்கிட்டியே
ஒரு முறை பார்த்ததும் மயக்கிட்டியே
மரங் கொத்தியே நெருங்கிட்டியே
ஒரு முறை பார்த்ததும் மயக்கிட்டியே
Oh woodpecker, you came close into my heart
Looking at me once, you charmed me
Woodpecker, you came close
Looking at me once, you charmed me
மர மர மர மர மரங் கொத்தியே
மன மன மனசுல நெருங்கிட்டியே
மர மர மர மர மரங் கொத்தியே
முதல் முதல் பார்த்ததும் மயக்கிட்டியே
Oh woodpecker, pecking repeatedly
You came close into my heart
Oh woodpecker, pecking repeatedly
You charmed me the very first time you saw me
மர மர மரங் கொத்தியே
பார்த்ததும் மயக்கிட்டியே
Oh woodpecker
You charmed me as soon as you looked at me...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Marankothiye' is a lively and expressive romantic track that depicts the giddy, exhilarating feeling of falling in love. The protagonist describes the whirlwind of emotions experience—floating, walking on fire, sleeplessness, and an irresistible draw towards her beloved, whom she metaphorically calls a 'Marankothi' (woodpecker) pecking away at her heart.
