மயக்க ஊசி.......
உந்தன் பார்வை ஆச்சு
அது தாக்கி தாக்கி
மூர்ச்சை ஆனேன......
Your gaze became an intoxicating injection,
Your glance turned into an anaesthetic shot.
Striking me over and over again,
I fainted into unconsciousness.
Grieving repeatedly,
Melting day after day,
Holding and carrying you constantly,
I attained heavenly salvation.
மருகி மருகி
தினம் உருகி உருகி
உன்னை தாங்கி தாங்கி
மோட்சம் போனேனே
Without you,
Male: Uh uh uh uh uh uh
Female: I cannot possibly live.
Male: Oh oh uh uh uh uh
Female: What has happened to me,
I do not know at all.
நீ இல்லாமல் என்னால்
இருக்க முடியாதே
என்ன ஆச்சு ஏதும்
எனக்கு தெரியாதே
An intoxicating injection,
Your gaze has become.
Striking me over and over again,
I fainted into unconsciousness.
மயக்க ஊசி.......
உந்தன் பார்வை ஆச்சு
அது தாக்கி தாக்கி
மூர்ச்சை ஆனேன......
Oh oh oh
All the beauty existing in this world,
I saw within you.
A nuclear power station,
I witnessed inside your eyes.
Oh oh oh
Without understanding anything,
Without even knowing myself,
I fell in love with you, ho ho.
ஓ....ஓஒ..... ஓஒ.....ஓ......
Like a chisel playing upon a stone sculpture,
You touched me.
With the fingers of time,
You did something magical to me.
Without removing clothes, without feeling pain,
You sweetly killed me, ho ho.
உலகில் உள்ள அழகை எல்லாம்
உன்னில் கண்டேனே
அணுமின் நிலையம் ஒன்றை
உந்தன் கண்ணில் கண்டேனே
The very second I laid eyes on you,
My heart shifted to the right side.
ஓஓஹோ....
எதுவும் புரியாமல்
என்னை அறியாமல்
உன்னில காதல் கொண்டேனே
ஓஓஹோ....
In that single moment when your hand touches me,
The nerves inside me explode with ecstasy.
சிலையை மீட்டும் உளியை போலே
என்னை தொட்டாயே
கலகம் செய்யும் விரலால்
என்னை ஏதோ செய்தாயே
உடையை கலையாமல்
வழியை உணராமல்
சுகமாக கொன்றாயே ஓஓஹோ
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
உன்னை கண்ட
மறு நொடியே இருதயம்
வலப்புறம் மாறிடுதே
An intoxicating injection,
Your gaze has become.
Striking me over and over again,
I fainted into unconsciousness.
உன் கை தீண்டும்
ஒரு நொடியில்
நரம்புகள் எனக்குள்ளே
வெடிக்கின்றதே
When we meet together in solitude,
Let the earth come to a standstill.
Only after saying an eternal goodbye,
Let it resume spinning.
Without spreading wings, without flying high,
Let our vision cross the heavens, ho ho.
ஓ....ஓஒ..... ஓஒ.....ஓ......
ஓ....ஓஒ..... ஓஒ.....ஓ......
The garden hanging before you,
Let it accept defeat.
All the flowers you have not worn,
Let them plead and beg.
With you being the sea and me being the river,
Let me merge and center within you, ho ho.
மயக்க ஊசி.......
உந்தன் பார்வை ஆச்சு
அது தாக்கி தாக்கி
மூர்ச்சை ஆனேன......
In that single word called love,
A thousand poems become visible.
தனியே நாமும் காணும் நேரம்
பூமி நிற்கட்டும்
பிரியாவிடையே சொன்ன பின்னே
மீண்டும் சுற்றட்டும்
As eyelids strike, the hearts,
Shatter into fine, fine dust.
சிறகை விரிக்காமல்
உயரே பறக்காமல்
விழி விண்ணை தாண்டட்டும்
ஓஓஹோ
An intoxicating injection,
Your gaze has become.
Striking me over and over again,
I fainted into unconsciousness.
Grieving repeatedly,
Melting day after day,
Holding and carrying you constantly,
I attained heavenly salvation.
உந்தன் முன்னே
தூங்கும் தோட்டம்
தொற்று போகட்டும்
நீயும் சூடா பூக்கள் எல்லாம்
நெஞ்சில் கேட்கட்டும்
Without you,
I cannot possibly live.
What has happened to me,
I do not know at all.
கடலும் நீயாக
புயலும் நானாக
உன்னில் மையம் கொள்ளட்டும்
ஓஓஹோ
காதல் என்ற
வார்த்தையிலே ஆயிரம்
கவிதைகள் தெரிகிறதே
இமைகள் தாக்கி இதயங்களே
பொடி பொடி பொடியாய் உடைகிறதே
மயக்க ஊசி.......
உந்தன் பார்வை ஆச்சு
அது தாக்கி தாக்கி
மூர்ச்சை ஆனேன......
மருகி மருகி
தினம் உருகி உருகி
உன்னை தாங்கி தாங்கி
மோட்சம் போனேனே
நீ இல்லாமல் என்னால்
இருக்க முடியாதே
என்ன ஆச்சு ஏதும்
எனக்கு தெரியாதே

The lyrics convey how love alters physical and emotional perceptions, making time feel suspended, hearts shift positions, and nerves explode with electric sensations.
