ஒரு பைத்தியம்
பிடிக்குது பெண்ணே
பெண்ணே அதன் வைத்தியம்
உன்னிரு கண்ணே கண்ணே
சிாித்தேனே நான் தானாய்
மெல்ல துடித்தேனே என்
உள்ளம் சொல்ல காதல் பாரம்
சுமந்தேனே வலி இருந்தும்
சுகமாய் உணா்ந்தேனே
A madness is taking over me, oh girl, oh girl!
Its remedy is your two eyes, oh girl, oh girl!
I smiled softly all by myself.
My heart beat fast to express itself.
I bore the heavy burden of love.
Though there was pain, I felt it as a sweet joy.
ஒரு பைத்தியம்
பிடிக்குது பெண்ணே
பெண்ணே அதன் வைத்தியம்
உன்னிரு கண்ணே கண்ணே
சிாித்தேனே நான் தானாய்
மெல்ல துடித்தேனே என்
உள்ளம் சொல்ல
A madness is taking over me, oh girl, oh girl!
Its remedy is your two eyes, oh girl, oh girl!
I smiled softly all by myself.
My heart beat fast to express itself.
எதை தேடி நீ
வந்தாய் அதை தந்த
பின்னாலும் என்னை
தேட வைத்தாயடி
எதிா்காலம் நிகழ்காலம்
எல்லாமே நீ என்று
சொல்லாமல் தவித்தேனடி
கேள்விதாளோடு உன் முன்னே
நான் நிற்க காதல் தோ்வும்
இல்லை ஹோ தோல்வி
இல்லாமல் உன் நெஞ்சை
நான் வெல்ல வழிகள் இங்க
இல்லை வருவேன் தருவேன்
ஒரு வாா்த்தை சொல்ல வழியில்
ஏனோ நான் விலகி செல்ல
மௌனங்கள் போலே ஒரு
மொழியேதடி
Even after giving you what you came searching for,
You made me search for my own self, girl.
That you are my future and my present, my everything,
I suffered deeply without telling you.
When I stand before you like a question paper,
There is no exam for love, hoo...
To win your heart without facing defeat,
There are no ways available here.
I want to come and give you a word,
Yet why do I step aside along the path?
What language is there like silence, girl?
நீ எந்தன்
வீட்டுக்குள் நான்
வாழும் சேற்றுக்குள்
பூவாக பூத்தாயடி
என் இன்பம் என்
துன்பம் எந்நாளும்
இளைப்பாற தோள்சாய
வந்தாயடி எந்த வழி செல்ல
புாியாமல் நான் நிற்க எதிாில்
ஒரு தேவதை ஹோ என்னை
நான் ஆக்கி என்வாழ்வை
நேராக்கி மீட்டுதந்தாள் என்னை
ஒருநாள் ஒருநாள் உன்னை
கண்ணில் கண்டேன் மறுநாள்
மறுநாள் என் நெஞ்சில் கண்டேன்
உனக்காக உயிரோடு வாழ்ந்தேனடி
Into my home, inside the mud I live in,
You bloomed like a beautiful flower, girl!
In my happiness and my sorrow, for me to rest every day,
You came as a shoulder for me to lean on, girl.
Standing confused, not knowing which way to go,
An angel appeared right in front of me, hoo...
Making me my true self, straightening my life,
She rescued me and gave me back to myself.
One day, one day I saw you in my eyes.
The next day, the next day I saw you in my heart.
Just for you, I lived alive, girl!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Oru Paithiyam Pidikuthu' is a soulful romantic track from 'Baana Kaathadi' that articulates the sweet madness and emotional weight of falling in love. The protagonist describes his love as a delightful ailment where the only cure lies in the eyes of his beloved. He reflects on how her presence transformed his unpolished life—comparing it to a flower blooming in mud—and how she gave him identity, solace, and purpose.

The lines end with rhyming words ('mella' / 'solla'), giving the couplet a melodic rhythm.
