Buththi kettu naan nadakken
Suththi kittu naan kedakken
Oru kaaichal ennil paththa vechu
Ponaayadii….
Mora morappaa morappen
Naalukku orukaa sirippen
En moonji fullah pallaa ippo
Senjaayadii…
Ei silukkaan kayiru paarvai
Enna izhukka naan enna seiya
Vella aatta pola un pinnaala
Odi varendii
Hey kulfi vandiaatam
Nee sirichi angittu poga
Ara touser potta paiyanaattam
Pinna odiyaaren

I wander around, having lost my senses,
I roam around, completely lost.
Setting a fever ablaze inside me,
you walked away, girl...
I used to walk around with a stern frown,
I barely smiled once a day.
Now my whole face is grinning from ear to ear,
you made me like this, girl...
Hey, your gaze is like a pulling rope,
dragging me in, what can I do?
Like a little goat following you,
I come running after you, girl!
Hey, just like a kulfi ice cream cart
as you smile and pass by,
like a little boy in half-pants,
I come running right behind you!
Don't charm me... oh...
Don't enchant me, girl... hey!
Don't charm me, don't bewitch me,
don't pull me in!
Don't charm me... oh...
Don't enchant me, girl... hey!
Just tell me your name
and finish me off, girl!
I wander around, having lost my senses,
I roam around, completely lost.
Setting a fever ablaze inside me,
you walked away, girl...
Standing hidden behind a pillar,
my eyes gaze only at you.
Whispering into your friend's ear,
what did you say, girl?
I have never seen anyone like you before,
I have never heard of anyone like you.
To match your kind of beauty,
there isn't even an actress out there.
I don't care about your past history,
you are my future!
Just to take in the sight from your forehead down to your nose,
I would need seven lifetimes!
Like a flower fallen under your heel,
my heart lies right here.
I come running along with you,
so don't smile like that, please don't... oh...
Don't charm me... oh...
Don't enchant me, girl... hey!
Don't charm me, don't bewitch me,
don't pull me in!
Don't charm me... oh...
Don't enchant me, girl... hey!
Just tell me your name
and finish me off, girl!
I wander around, having lost my senses,
I roam around, completely lost.
Setting a fever ablaze inside me,
you walked away, girl...
I used to walk around with a stern frown,
I barely smiled once a day.
Now my whole face is grinning from ear to ear,
you made me like this, girl...
Hey, your gaze is like a pulling rope,
dragging me in, what can I do?
Like a little goat following you,
I come running after you, girl!
Hey, just like a kulfi ice cream cart
as you smile and pass by,
like a little boy in half-pants,
I come running right behind you!
Don't charm me... oh...
Don't enchant me, girl... hey!
Don't charm me, don't bewitch me,
don't pull me in!
Don't charm me... oh...
Don't enchant me, girl... hey!
Just tell me your name
and finish me off, girl!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Mayakkadha' expresses the lighthearted, euphoric infatuation of a man who has fallen head over heels for a woman. He describes how his previously strict and serious demeanour has vanished, replaced by an irresistible smile and childlike behavior whenever she is near. Her charming glances act like a rope pulling him toward her, leaving him helplessly following her everywhere while pleading with her not to completely spellbind him without even sharing her name.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Simile (Upamai)

Vella aatta pola un pinnaala / Ara touser potta paiyanaattam

Compares the speaker running behind the girl to a white goat following its owner, and to a young boy chasing an ice cream (kulfi) cart.

Rhyme / Alliteration (Edhugai & Monai)

Buththi kettu naan nadakken / Suththi kittu naan kedakken

Uses matching second consonants (th) in 'Buththi' and 'Suththi' for rhythmic flow.

Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navirtchi Ani)

On neththi thodangi mookkil mudikkavae / Jenmam ezhu venum

Exaggerates the time needed to appreciate the girl's beauty, stating it would take seven lifetimes just to trace her face from forehead to nose.

Metaphor (Uruvagamm)

Ei silukkaan kayiru paarvai / Enna izhukka naan enna seiya

Metaphorically compares her glance to a silky rope that physically pulls him toward her.
