பாக்குறா தாக்குறா
காதல ஏத்துறா
சாயுறா சாய்க்குறா
போதைய கூட்டுறா
You look, you strike
You elevate love
You lean, you make me tilt
You increase the intoxication
தூரமா போகுறா
தூறலா தூவுறா
வாசமா வீசுறா
வானவில் காட்டுறா
You move away
You drizzle like a light drizzle
You blow like a gentle fragrance
You show a rainbow
யார் இந்த தேவதைன்னு
கேட்க தூண்டுறா
Who is this angel
You prompt me to ask
கண்ண விட்டு விட்டு
கண் இமைகள் பறக்குது
உன்ன பாத்தாலே
என்ன விட்டு விட்டு
என் நிழலும் பறக்குது
தள்ளி போனாலே
Leaving my eyes
My eyelids fly away
Just by looking at you
Leaving me behind
Even my shadow flies away
When you step away
கண்ண விட்டு விட்டு
கண் இமைகள் பறக்குது
உன்ன பாத்தாலே
என்ன விட்டு விட்டு
என் நிழலும் பறக்குது
தள்ளி போனாலே
Leaving my eyes
My eyelids fly away
Just by looking at you
Leaving me behind
Even my shadow flies away
When you step away
பாக்குறா தாக்குறா
காதல ஏத்துறா
சாயுறா சாய்க்குறா
போதைய கூட்டுறா
You look, you strike
You elevate love
You lean, you make me tilt
You increase the intoxication...
மனம் என்னான்னு பாக்கும் நொடியே
என் முன்னாலே மொளச்ச ரதியே
நான் தள்ளாடி போனேனே அடியே
உன் பின்னாலே வாறேனே கண் மூடியே
Oh moment that checks what my heart feels
Oh celestial beauty who sprouted before me
Girl, I staggered and lost my balance
I follow behind you with my eyes closed
ஆடி உன்னாலே திரிஞ்சேன் தனியே
இமை ரெண்டாலே பறந்தேன் வெளியே
இது வம்பாக ஆனாலும் சரியே
ஆடி உன் பேர சொல்வேன் கொண்டாடியே
Hey girl, because of you I wandered alone
I flew outside on my two eyelids
Even if this turns into compulsion, it is fine
Hey girl, I will celebrate and chant your name
பார்வையே போதுமா
பாவையும் பேசுமா
வார்த்தையும் நீளுமா
வாழ்க்கையா மாறுமா
Is a mere glance enough?
Will the maiden speak too?
Will words extend into a long conversation?
Will it transform into a life together?
நேற்று இந்த
மாற்ற நெஞ்சு ஏதுமில்லையே
Yesterday, this
Changing heart had nothing like this
கண்ண விட்டு விட்டு
கண் இமைகள் பறக்குது
உன்ன பாத்தாலே
என்ன விட்டு விட்டு
என் நிழலும் பறக்குது
தள்ளி போனாலே
Leaving my eyes
My eyelids fly away
Just by looking at you
Leaving me behind
Even my shadow flies away
When you step away...
கண்ண விட்டு விட்டு
கண் இமைகள் பறக்குது
உன்ன பாத்தாலே
என்ன விட்டு விட்டு
என் நிழலும் பறக்குது
தள்ளி போனாலே
Leaving my eyes
My eyelids fly away
Just by looking at you
Leaving me behind
Even my shadow flies away
When you step away
பாக்குறா தாக்குறா
காதல ஏத்துறா
சாயுறா சாய்க்குறா
போதைய கூட்டுறா
You look, you strike
You elevate love
You lean, you make me tilt
You increase the intoxication
தூரமா போகுறா
தூறலா தூவுறா

Un pinnaale varene kan moodiye
I follow behind you with my eyes closed
Adi unnaale thirinjen thaniye
Hey girl, because of you I wandered alone

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This track captures the euphoric, head-over-heels sensation of falling in love. The protagonist describes how the mere presence and glances of his lover intoxicate him, causing his thoughts and senses to flutter away like eyelids taking flight. Every movement of hers—from her subtle glances to her sudden distance—evokes vivid imagery of nature such as rain drizzling, fragrances blowing, and rainbows appearing. The song explores the transition from a solitary existence to a life completely spellbound by romance. The protagonist expresses his willingness to follow her blindly, celebrate her name, and wonder if a simple glance could mature into a lifelong companionship. It is a vibrant celebration of youthful love and romantic fascination.
