ஏலே ஏலே
நானும் மேலே
போறேன் காதல் நாள
Hey, hey!
I am floating high up,
because of love.
நீ உறவாக ஆச
நான் வேறென்ன பேச
I desire for you to become my companion,
what else can I say?
புயல் ஓயாம
வீச உடல் தானாக கூச
கேட்டேன் காதல் ஓச ஓ
As the storm blows endlessly,
my body shivers automatically.
I heard the whisper of love... oh...
நீ உறவாக ஆச
நான் வேறென்ன பேச
I desire for you to become my companion,
what else can I say?
ஓர கண் பார்வை
ஏதேதோ பேச ஊதாரி
பையன் நானும்
ஆனேன் நல்லா
A side glance from your eye,
speaks so many things.
Even a reckless boy like me,
has turned good now...
நாளும் உன்
வாசம் என் மேல வீச
ஆனேனே கோர புல்லும்
வான வில்லா
Every day your sweet fragrance,
wafts over me.
Even a wild blade of grass,
has turned into a rainbow...
கண்ணால நீ
கிள்ள காயம் உள்ள
என்னாத்த நான்
சொல்ல ஓஹோ
When you pinch me with your eyes,
there is a wound deep inside.
What can I even say... oh... hooo...
சொல்லாமலே
தொல்ல ஆல கொல்ல
அல்லாடுறேன் புல்ல
ஓஹோ ஓஹோ
An unsaid trouble,
kills me quietly...
I am struggling, my girl.
Oho... oohoo... ooo.
குப்ப கூலம்
பொன்னாச்சு குட்டியான
தேராச்சு ஆத்தாடி உன்னால
ஏதோ ஆச்சு
Trash and debris turned into gold,
it became a small temple chariot.
Oh my, because of you,
something magical happened...
சோரும் செல்லாம
தூக்கம் இல்லாம ஏன் புள்ள
என்ன நீயும் ஆட்டி வெச்ச
Food doesn't go down,
sleep is nowhere to be found.
Why, girl, did you
shake me up like this?
கேட்கும் முன்னால
நீயும் தன்னால ஒன்னாக
வாழ போடு காதல் பிச்ச
Even before asking,
you yourself automatically,
toss the alms of love,
for us to live together...
என்னோடு நீ
வந்தா போதும் பொன்னே
If you come along with me,
that is enough, girl...
இல்லனு நான்
சொன்னா ஓ ஓ ஓ ஓ
Did I say no?
Oh oh oh oooo…..
சேல கட்டும்
பூங்கொத்து உன்கூட
நின்னா தான் கெத்து
வேணாமே வேறேதும்
சொத்து பத்து
A bouquet of flowers draped in a saree,
standing beside you gives real pride.
I do not need any other wealth or property.
நீ உறவாக ஆச
நான் வேறென்ன பேச
I desire for you to become my companion,
what else can I say?
புயல் ஓயாம
வீச உடல் தானாக கூச
கேட்டேன் காதல் ஓச
As the storm blows endlessly,
my body shivers automatically.
I heard the whisper of love... aa...
Yelae yelaee
Hey, hey!
Naanum melae
I am floating high up,
Poren kaadhal naalaa
because of love.
Nee uravaagha aasai

Puyal oyaama veesa
As the storm blows endlessly,
Udal thaanaaga koosa
my body shivers automatically.
Ketten.. kaadhal oosaa..oh..

Even a reckless boy like me,
Aanen nallaa..

Nallum un vaasam
Every day your sweet fragrance,
Enmela veesa
wafts over me.
Aanenae kora pullum
Even a wild blade of grass,
Vaanavillaa…
has turned into a rainbow...
Kannaala nee killa
When you pinch me with your eyes,
Kaayam ulla
there is a wound deep inside.
Ennaatha naan solla…oh..hooo
What can I even say... oh... hooo...
Sollaamalae tholla
An unsaid trouble,
Aalaa kolla…

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from the movie Paambhu Sattai expresses the exhilarating feeling of falling deeply in love and the complete transformation it brings to a young man's life. He reflects on how love has changed him from a reckless, aimless person into someone gentle and good. The beauty of his beloved elevates his entire world, making ordinary grass feel like a rainbow and basic surroundings feel golden and precious. He describes the sweet agony of love—losing his sleep and appetite, being captivated by her subtle side-glances, and feeling that her presence alone gives him ultimate joy and social pride. For him, being with her matters far more than any material wealth or property.

Metaphor (Uruvagandhu)
“Aanenae kora pullum Vaanavillaa…”
The lyrics compare the girl to a 'bouquet wearing a saree' ('Selaa kattum poongothu') and describe a wild weed turning into a 'rainbow' ('kora pullum vaanavillaa') to convey emotional transformation.
Hyperbole (Uyervu Navitchi)
“Kuppa koolam ponnaachu Kuttiaana thaeraachu”
Exaggerating love's magic by stating that trash and waste turned into gold and a temple chariot ('Kuppa koolam ponnaachu Kuttiaana thaeraachu').
Iyaibu (Rhyming end words)
“Puyal oyaama veesa / Udal thaanaaga koosa / Ketten.. kaadhal oosaa”
End-rhyming words like 'veesa', 'koosa', and 'oosaa' create a melodious internal rhythm across consecutive lines.
