ஒருத்தி மேலே மீண்டும்
மையல் ஆனேன் தோழியே நீ
தூது போடி ஒருத்தி மேலே மீண்டும்
காதல் ஆனேன் தோழியே நீ தூது போடி
I have fallen in infatuation with a girl once again
Oh female friend, go as my messenger
I have fallen in love with a girl once again
Oh female friend, go as my messenger
ஏ... ஆண்டாண்டுகள்
கடந்தும் மாறாமலே வாசம்
ஒன்றை கொண்டாலடி கண்
சொல்வதை தன் வாயில்
கூறாமலே என்னை கொன்று
சென்றாலடி
Hey, even after years have passed without changing
Celebrate that same familiar fragrance
Without expressing through her mouth what her eyes say
She killed me with her glance and walked away
ஒருத்தி மேலே மீண்டும்
மையல் ஆனேன் தோழியே நீ
தூது போடி ஒருத்தி மேலே மீண்டும்
காதல் ஆனேன் தோழியே நீ தூது போடி
I have fallen in infatuation with a girl once again
Oh female friend, go as my messenger
I have fallen in love with a girl once again
Oh female friend, go as my messenger
அழகோ அழகோ
உனையும் விடவும் குறைவு
ஆனாலுமே செல்வாயா
திமிரோ திமிரோ உனையும்
விடவும் அதிகம் வேண்டாமென
சொல்வாயா முத்தங்கள் நூறு
நான் தந்தேன் கள்ளியாய் தூக்கி
போனாலே என்னிடம் மீண்டும்
தாவென்று கேட்டதும் மௌனம்
ஆனாலே நீ சென்று என் முத்தம்
அள்ளி கொண்டு வா
Her beauty is less compared to yours
Even so, will you go as my messenger?
Her arrogance is more compared to yours
Will she say 'no' to my love?
I gave her a hundred kisses
She stole them like a thief and walked away
When I asked her to give them back to me
She became completely silent
You go and gather my kisses back!
ஒருத்தி மேலே மீண்டும்
மையல் ஆனேன் தோழியே நீ
தூது போடி ஒருத்தி மேலே மீண்டும்
காதல் ஆனேன் தோழியே நீ தூது போடி
I have fallen in infatuation with a girl once again
Oh female friend, go as my messenger
I have fallen in love with a girl once again
Oh female friend, go as my messenger
அவளை அவளை
ரசித்து கிடந்து விழிகள்
வேறாறையும் பாா்க்காதே
அவளை அவளை பழகி
தொலைத்த இதயம்
வேறாறையும் ஏற்காதே
தோழியே நீ போய் கேட்டாலும்
காதலே இல்லை சொல்வாலே
காலிலே விழுந்து கேட்டாலும்
பொய்யிலே நம்மை கொல்வாளே
நீயேனும் என் காதல் ஏற்றுகொள்ளடி
These eyes, having admired only her
Will not look at anyone else
This heart, having lost itself being around her
Will not accept anyone else
Even if you go and ask her, my friend
She will claim there is no love
Even if I fall at her feet and ask
She will kill us with her lies
At least you accept my love, my friend!
இங்க பாரு ஜீவா நீ
எவ்ளோ ட்ரை பண்ணாலும்
நீ நினைக்கிறது நடக்காது விட்ரு
Look here Jeeva, no matter how much you try
What you are thinking won't happen, leave it... (Dialogue)
ஒருத்தி மேலே
மீண்டும் காதல் ஆனேன்
தூது போக யாரும் வேண்டாம்
வேண்டாம்
வெடிக்கும் எந்தன் நெஞ்சம்
ஆசை சொல்ல கண்கள் போதும்
வாா்த்தை வேண்டாம்
வேண்டாம்
I have fallen in love with a girl once again
No need for anyone to go as a messenger (Female: No need)
Male: My heart is bursting to express its desire
Eyes are enough, no need for words (Female: No need)

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Oruthi Melae' from the movie 'Jeeva' captures the sweet, nostalgic rekindling of young love. The protagonist, Jeeva, finds himself falling deeply in love again with his childhood sweetheart. He playfully urges his close female friend to act as a messenger ('thoothu') to convey his feelings, poking fun at his lover's stubbornness and pride while contrasting it with his friend's nature.

Poetic devices
Thoothu (Poetic Messenger Motif)
“Thozhiyae nee thoothu podi”
A traditional classical Tamil literary device ('Thoothu') where a lover sends a messenger (often a friend, bird, or breeze) to convey love to the beloved.
Muran (Antithesis / Contrast)
“Azhago azhago unnaiyum vidavum kuraivu ... Thimiro thimro unaiyum vidavum athigam”
The lyricist contrasts 'kuraivu' (less beauty) with 'athigam' (more arrogance) in a playful banter comparing the heroine to the female friend.
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Aanalumae selvaaya ... Vendamena solvaaya”
The lines end with rhyming verb forms ('selvaaya' and 'solvaaya') creating a melodic rhythm.
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navortchi Ani)
“Ennai kondru sendralaadi”
Exaggerating the overwhelming impact of the girl's unspoken glance as 'killing' the protagonist.
