ஹோ ஐயோ தொலைகிறேன்
காதலின் கைகளில் விழுகிறேன்
When she smiles...
I crumble a little bit
When she walks...
I wander behind her
Even knowing this, oh
Alas, I am getting lost
I am falling into the hands of love....

வார்த்தை ஒன்று நான்
கோர்க்கிறேன் எதிரே
உன்னை பார்த்த உடனே
ஏன் வேர்க்கிறேன்
Ohooo…oooo…ooooo
To express something
I am stringing words together
Right in front of me
Why do I sweat the moment I see you?
பெண்ணே உன்
பார்வையாலே அலை
பாய்கிறேனே ஆஹா
இந்த நேரம் நானும்
குடை சாய்கிறேன்
Girl, because of your look
I am tossed back and forth like waves
Aaha, at this moment, I too
Am tilting over like an umbrella...
காதோரமாய்
ஊஞ்சல் கொடு
காதோரமாய் ஊஞ்சல்
கொடு பெண்ணே உன்
கம்மல் போல் நான்
ஆடுவேன்
Give me a swing near your ears
Give me a swing near your ears
Girl, I will swing like your earring
கால் ஓரமாய்
சிறையில் இடு
பெண்ணே உன்
கொலுசாக நான்
மாறுவேன்
Imprison me near your feet
Girl, I will turn into your anklet
ஓஹோ ஓஓ
நீயே வாழ்க்கை
என்பேன் இனி வாழும்
நாட்கள் எல்லாம் நீயே
போதும் என்பேன் உயிரே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from the movie Pugazh expresses a lover's deep devotion and total surrender to his beloved. He declares that she is his entire world, his soul, and his life for all the days to come. The lyrics vividly describe the physical and emotional impact she has on him—from making him nervous and sweating to feeling overwhelmed whenever she smiles or walks past him. The protagonist affectionately desires to be close to her at all times, playfully expressing his wish to become her earring swinging near her ear or her anklet wrapped around her foot. Written with romantic fervor by Na. Muthu Kumar, the song captures the essence of falling helplessly in love.

Metaphor (Uvamaani / Metaphorical representation)
“Pennae un kammal pol naan aaduven / Pennae un kolusaaga naan maaruven”
The lover compares his submission to love as becoming an earring (kammal) and an anklet (kolusu) worn by his beloved.
