ஹா...ஆ...ஆ...ஹா...ஆ...ஆ...
Haa..aaa..aaa..haaa..aaa..
நீளாதோ இன்னும் நீளாதோ
நீ என்னும் காரணம்
தாளாமல் இங்கு நான் ஏங்க
நீ தானே காரணம்
Won't it stretch further, won't it linger?
The reason called 'You'
As I yearn here, unable to endure
You are the sole reason
விழியின் அறையிலே..ஹோ
விரும்பி நுழைகிறேன்
வழிகள் தெரிந்துமே..ஏ
திரும்ப மறுக்கிறேன்
Into the chamber of your eyes
I willingly enter
Even though knowing the path out
I refuse to turn back
நீளாதோ இன்னும் நீளாதோ
என்னை நீ தாங்கும் நாழிகை தானோ
உருகும் நொடியிலே
நான் உறைந்து கிடக்கிறேன்
Won't it stretch further, won't it linger?
Is it the duration where you hold me?
In the moment of melting
I lie frozen motionless
ஹா...ஆ...ஆ...ஹா...ஆ...ஆ...
Haa..aaa...aaa...haa...aaa...
நீவும் இமைகள்
உயிரின் கதவை கீறும்
தாழை திறக்கும்
பதற்றம் பரவசம்
நேரும் தருணம்
அணைகள் உடைக்க கூடும்
மீளா எனக்கும் இல்லை அனுபவம்
பூக்குமோ வேர்வரை
போதுமோ பாதி எழுதிய கவிதை
Caressing eyelids
Scratches the door of the soul
Unlocks the latch
Anxiety and ecstasy
The moment that intensifies
Could break all dams
I have no past experience to break free
Will it bloom all the way to sweat drops?
Is a half-written poem enough?
நீ என் அருகில்
நெருங்கி பகிரும் நேரம்
இடையில் நிகழும்
எதுவும் உன் வசம்
When you come close to me
During the time we share closely
Whatever happens in between
Is entirely under your spell and control
ஹோ ஹோ ஓ ஹோ ஓ ஹோ ..(2)
Hoo ho oo ho o ho..(2)
Haa..aaa..aaa..haaa..aaa..
Haa..aaa..aaa..haaa..aaa..
Neeladho innum neeladho
Won't it stretch further, won't it linger?
Nee ennum kaaranam
The reason called 'You'
Thaalaamal ingu naan yenga
As I yearn here, unable to endure
Nee thaanae kaaranam
You are the sole reason
Vizhiyin araiyilae..ho
Into the chamber of your eyes
Virumbi nuzhaigiren
I willingly enter
Vazhigal therinthumae..ae..ho
Even though knowing the path out
Thirumba marukkiren
I refuse to turn back
Neeladho innum neeladho
Won't it stretch further, won't it linger?
Ennai nee thaangum naazhigai thaano
Is it the duration where you hold me?
Urugum nodiyilae
In the moment of melting
Naan uraindhu kidakkiren
I lie frozen motionless
Haa..aaa…aaa…haa…aaa…
Haa..aaa...aaa...haa...aaa...
Neevum imaigal
Caressing eyelids
Uyirin kadhavai keerum
Scratches the door of the soul
Thaazhai thirakkum
Unlocks the latch
Pathattram paravasam
Anxiety and ecstasy
Merum tharunam
The moment that intensifies
Anaigal udaikka koodum
Could break all dams
Meela enakkum illai anubavam
I have no past experience to break free
Pookkumo vervarai
Will it bloom all the way to sweat drops?
Podhumo paadhi ezhuthiya kavithai
Is a half-written poem enough?
Nee en arugil
When you come close to me
Nerungi pagirum neram
During the time we share closely
Idaiyil nigazhum
Whatever happens in between
Edhuvum un vasam
Is entirely under your spell and control
Hoo ho oo ho o ho..(2)
Hoo ho oo ho o ho..(2)
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song portrays a deeply intimate and sensual expression of love, where the protagonist surrenders completely to her beloved's presence. She reflects on how he is the central cause of her restless yearning and emotional vulnerability. She willingly walks into the gaze of her lover without any desire to escape, feeling simultaneously frozen and dissolved in overwhelming passion. The lyricist uses evocative imagery of locked doors, melting moments, overflowing dams, and unwritten poems to convey a state of helpless enchantment where time feels suspended and every sensation is guided by the partner's touch.
