......................
முதல் முறையாக
பெண்ணே உன்னை பார்த்தேன்
நான் முழுவதுமாக என்னை
அன்றே தோற்றேன்
For the very first time
Oh girl, I saw you
Completely and totally
I surrendered myself that very day
ஒரு முறைதானே
ஒன்றே ஒன்று கேட்டேன்
என் உயிருடன் நானும்
உன்னை இன்று சேர்த்தேன்
Just once
I asked for only one thing
Along with my soul
I united with you today
நீதானே ..... நீ
தானே என் தாய்போல
தூங்காத சேய்போல
துரத்தாத பேய் போல
காதல் செய்தாய்
It is you…ae…ae…
It is you, who like my mother,
Like a sleepless child,
Like an unchasing spirit,
Loved me so deeply
காதலில் விழ
மாட்டேன் என்றே
காந்தலாய் இருந்தேன்
உன் கண்களால் என்னை
கவ்வி கொண்டாய்
கந்தலாகி விழுந்தேன்
Saying I would never fall in love,
I remained rigid like a dried branch
With your eyes, you trapped me
And I fell into tattered pieces
முதல் முறையாக
பெண்ணே உன்னை பார்த்தேன்
நான் முழுவதுமாக என்னை
அன்றே தோற்றேன்
For the very first time
Oh girl, I saw you
Completely and totally
I surrendered myself that very day
ஒரு முறைதானே
ஒன்றே ஒன்று கேட்டேன்
என் உயிருடன் நானும்
உன்னை இன்று சேர்த்தேன்
Just once
I asked for only one thing
Along with my soul
I united with you today

Haa….aaaa…re…eee..
Haaa…..aaa….aaaa…aaa…
Thadhaari ri ri naa
Udhara re re naa
Thadhaari ri ri naa
Udhara re re naa…naanae naaa..
Aaaaa….aaaa….aaaa….
மஞ்சரியே மா
ரதியே நீயும் வா வா
வெளியே உன் இடையை
நான் அணைத்தே பார்ப்பேன்
மேலே வா கிளியே
Oh cluster of blossoms, oh great Rathi!
You too come outside
Embracing your waist,
I will fly above, come my parrot!
ஹா ஆஆ வா
என்று நீ சொன்னால்
வருவேன் எங்கும் தனியே
முள் மடியோ விண்வெளியோ
நடப்பேன் நானும் உன் வழியே
Haa…aaa
If you say come,
I will come anywhere alone
Whether it is a bed of thorns or outer space,
I will walk along your path
என்னை காணாமலும்
முகம் கோணாமலும் தினம்
நின்றாயடி என்னை வென்றாயடி
Without even seeing me,
Without frowning your face,
You stood by me every day,
You conquered me!
நீ தினம் தினம்
என்னை வைய என்ன
குற்றம் நான் செய்ய
Every single day,
If you scold me,
What crime have I committed?
........................
பகல் எல்லாம்
பார்க்காமல் ஏக்கம்
ஏணியில் ஏறும்
இடையூறே இல்லாத
இனிக்கும் ராத்திரி
வேண்டும்
Without seeing you all day,
Longing climbs up like a ladder
Without any hindrance,
I want a sweet night
நீ வந்த பின்தானே
வாழ்வில் இத்தனை சாரம்
உன் ஆசை நிறைவேற்ற
வேகம் என்னையும் மீறும்
Only after you came,
Life gained so much essence
To fulfill your desires,
My speed will exceed even my own control
விரல் கோர்த்தாலென்ன
நிரல் கேட்டாலென்ன பழி
தீர்த்தாலென்ன பாதம்
பார்த்தாலென்ன
What if we intertwine fingers?
What if we ask for shade?
What if we avenge?
What if we watch each step?
நான் காவலன்
தானே இருந்தும்
கொள்ளையிட
வந்தேனே
I am indeed a guardian,
Yet I came to rob your heart!
ஹா ஆஆ
ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம் முதல்
முறையாக அன்பே
உன்னை பார்த்தேன்
என் முகவரியாக
உன்னை அன்றே
ஏற்றேன்
Haa….aaa…
Hmmm…mmm….
For the very first time
Oh beloved, I saw you
As my address,
I accepted you that very day
ஒரு முறைதானே
ஒன்றே ஒன்று கேட்டேன்
என் உயிருடன் நானும்
உன்னை இன்று சேர்த்தேன்
Just once
I asked for only one thing
Along with my soul
I united with you today
ஓஹோ ஓ
ஓஓ ஓஹோ ஓ
ஓஓ
Ohoo…oo…oooo
Ohoo…ooo….ooo….
Ohooo…oooo
Ohooo…oooo

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Mudhal Muraiyaaga from Singam 3 (Si3) is a romantic track penned by lyricist Thamarai. The song expresses the profound and transformative nature of true love as experienced by a protagonist who previously considered himself completely immune to romance. He describes how the heroine's gaze broke down all his rigid emotional defenses and captured his heart, comparing her tender care to that of a mother and her presence to an unwavering anchor in his life.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Simile (Upamai)
“Nee thaanae en thaai pola”
Compares the heroine's selfless and nurturing love directly to the care of a mother.
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Kaanthalaai irundhen... Kandhalaagi vizhundhen”
Metaphorically compares his previously rigid heart to a dried branch (Kaanthal) and his sudden emotional surrender to falling as tattered cloth (Kandhal).
End Rhyme (Iyaibu)
“Viral korthalenna / Niral kettalenna / Pazhi theerthalenna”
Uses matching line endings with 'enna' to create a poetic rhythmic cadence.
