முகையாழி பெண்ணோடு
அழகாடி போகின்றேன்
அவளோடு நிழலாய் செல்கின்றேன்
With the flower-bud like ocean girl,
I walk along happily with grace,
I walk beside her like a shadow.
கடிகாரம் சொல்லாத
நொடி நேரம் உண்டாக்கி
அதில் ஏறி காதல் சொல்கின்றேன்
Which the clock cannot measure,
Creating a tiny moment in time,
Stepping into it, I express my love.
உன்னை பார்த்தால்
அணில் ஆகிறேன்
விளையாட மணல் ஆகிறேன்
ஆண் : முகையே…
When I see you, I become agile like a squirrel,
I become the sand for you to play on.
Oh blooming flower bud...
இதமே அறியா
ஒரு பாதி வாலிபம் கடந்தேன்
இதழின் மழையில்
அந்த பாவம் யாவையும் களைந்தேன்
Without experiencing any true comfort,
I spent one half of my youth,
In the rain of your lips,
I washed away all those past sins.
முகையாழி பெண்ணோடு
அழகாடி போகின்றேன்
அவளோடு நிழலாய் செல்கின்றேன்
With the flower-bud like ocean girl,
I walk along happily with grace,
I walk beside her like a shadow.

யாரோ…உரையாடும் போதும்
நீ என்றே பார்க்கிறேன்
வீட்டில்…உன்னை பொம்மையாக்கி
என் கைகள் கோர்க்கிறேன்
Even when someone else is conversing,
I look at them and see only you.
At home, turning you into a doll in my mind,
I hold hands with my imagination.
நாளும்…உன் மூச்சிழுத்து
நான் வாழ பார்க்கிறேன்
உன்னை கொண்டாடும்
ஒரு சொல் ஆகிறேன்
Every day, inhaling your breath,
I attempt to live.
To celebrate you,
I become a single word of praise.
விழி மூடி விழும் போதிலும்
விலகாதே உந்தன் ஞாபகம்
விழையே ...யே....யே....
Even when I close my eyes and fall asleep,
Your memories never fade or leave.
Oh my desire...

ஓடும்....உன் கால் தடங்கள்
ஒவ்வொன்றாய் ஏறினேன்
ஏனோ…ஒவ்வொன்றின் மீதும்
ஒரு நிமிடம் வாழ்கிறேன்
Along the footprints of your running feet,
I stepped on every single one,
For some reason, upon each footprint,
I live for an entire minute.
நீயாய்…என் பேர் உதிர்த்தால்
கொண்டாடி தீர்க்கிறேன்
நீராய்…உன் தோள் குதிக்க
மன்றாடினேன்
If you willingly utter my name,
I celebrate it to the fullest.
Like water cascading onto your shoulders,
I pleaded to fall upon you.
விழி மூடி விழும் போதிலும்
விலகாதே உந்தன் ஞாபகம்
விழையே ...யே....யே....
Even when I close my eyes and fall asleep,
Your memories never fade or leave.
Oh my desire...
Hmmm…mmm…mmm…mmm

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Mugaiyazhi' (or 'Mugaiyazhi Pennodu') from the film Boomerang is a tender romantic track expressing the protagonist's deep fascination and devotion towards his beloved. He compares her presence to a refreshing rainfall that washes away his past loneliness and half of his unfulfilled youth. Every small detail about her—her footprints, her breath, and her voice—holds immense significance for him, transforming his everyday reality into a poetic world. Throughout the track, the lyricist Vivek uses vivid imagery of nature, sand, rain, and time to portray how love slows down moments and brings profound joy. The protagonist feels completely engulfed by her memories, to the extent that even with his eyes closed, her thoughts remain unshakeable, symbolizing eternal infatuation and companionship.
