கோடி வருடம் எறிந்த சூரியன்
உன்னால் குளிர்ந்ததடி
உன் கூந்தல் என்னை தழுவியபோது
என் மனம் எரிந்ததடி
The sun that burned for millions of years
Cooled down because of you, my girl
When your tresses caressed me
My heart caught fire, my girl
ஒ.....ஆயிரம் வருடம் உலவிய காற்று
உன்னால் நின்றதடா
நீ மூச்சு முட்ட அணைத்த பொது
உலகம் மறந்ததடா
Oh, the wind that blew for a thousand years
Came to a halt because of you, my boy
When you hugged me till I lost my breath
I forgot the world, my boy
காற்றில் உன் சேலை பறக்க
இடையே இரு முயல்கள் தவிக்க
ஓஹ்ஹோ
As your saree fluttered in the breeze
Rabbits struggled in between
Ohoho
கைகள் கோடி ஏற்றி பிடிக்க
தேகம் தேடி துடிக்க
As hands raised and held high
The body throbs seeking warmth
நீ என்னில் நுழைந்தாய்
நான் உன்னில் தொலைந்தேன்
You entered into me
I lost myself in you
நான் உன்னில் தொலைந்தேன்
ஓஹோஹோ
நீ என்னில் நுழைந்தாய்
You entered into me
Ohoho
I lost myself in you

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This romantic duet explores the intense emotional and physical overwhelmingness of falling in love and experiencing a lover's first embrace. The protagonists describe how the first physical touch felt like a heart-shattering, breathtaking experience that created an irresistible desire for more closeness. Love is portrayed as a sweet disease where each partner acts as the sole cure for the other. The song uses vivid cosmic imagery—such as the sun cooling down and the ancient wind coming to a standstill—to convey the transformative, world-stopping power of their union and passion.
