{பார்த்தேன் பார்த்தேன் பார்த்தேன்
சுட சுட
ரசித்தேன் ரசித்தேன் ரசித்தேன்
இரு விழி
தவணை முறையில் என்னை கொல்லுதே} (2)
I looked, I looked, I looked
Hot and fresh
I admired, I admired, I admired
Two eyes
Are killing me on an installment plan
கட்டழகு கன்னத்தில் அடிக்க
கண்ணுக்குள்ளே பூகம்பம் வெடிக்க
கம்பன் இல்லை மிச்சத்தை உரைக்க
அடடா அடடா அடடா அடடா
Striking beauty hits the cheeks
An earthquake detonates inside the eyes
There is no Kamban here to describe the rest
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my
பார்த்தேன் பார்த்தேன் பார்த்தேன்
சுட சுட
ரசித்தேன் ரசித்தேன் ரசித்தேன்

...............................
கண்ணும் கண்ணும் மோதிய வேளை
சில நொடி நானும் சுவாசிக்கவில்லை
கடவுள் பார்த்த பக்தன் போலே
கையும் காலும் ஓட வில்லை
பார்த்து பார்த்து
ரசித்தேன் ரசித்தேன்
உன்னை பார்த்து பார்த்து
ரசித்தேன் ரசித்தேன்
When our eyes locked together
I did not breathe for a few seconds
Like a devotee who saw God
My hands and legs froze completely
தேவதையும் பேருந்தில் வருமா
கனவா நனவா தோன்றவும் இல்லை
நல்ல வேளை சிறகுகள் இல்லை
நானும் அதனால் நம்பவில்லை
Looking and looking
I admired, I admired
Looking at you repeatedly
I admired, I admired
ஆஆ..ஹா....
நெற்றி என்ற மேடையிலே
ஆஆ..ஹா....
ஒற்றை முடியை ஆட விட்டாள்
ஆஆ..ஹா....
ஒற்றை முடியில் என்னை கட்டி
ஆஆ..ஹா....
உச்சி வெயிலில் தூக்கிலிட்டாள்
Does an angel come on a public bus?
I could not tell if it was a dream or reality
Good thing she doesn't have wings
That is why I didn't believe it at first
மனதில் இத்தனை ரணமா
அட வலியில் இத்தனை சுகமா
அடடா அடடா அடடா அடடா
Ahaa..aaa…
Male: On the stage of your forehead
Female: Ahaa..aaa…

யேய்… யே
வேலை தேடும் இளைஞன் கேட்டேன்
காதல் செய்யும் வேலை போடு
வந்த என்னை வேண்டாம் என்றால்
அணைத்து அணைத்தே கொன்று விடு
பார்த்து பார்த்து
ரசித்தேன் ரசித்தேன்
உன்னை பார்த்து பார்த்து
ரசித்தேன் ரசித்தேன்
Yaiee yaaa
I am a youth searching for a job, listen to me
Give me the job of loving you
If you reject me after coming here
Hug me tightly and kill me instead
உலர்ந்து போன எந்தன் வாழ்வை
நாக்கின் நுனியால் ஈரமாக்கு
உறைந்து போன எந்தன் இரவை
ஓர பார்வையில் உருக விடு
Looking and looking
I admired, I admired
Looking at you repeatedly
I admired, I admired
ஆஆ..ஹா....
என்னை தவிர ஆண்கள் எல்லாம்
ஆஆ..ஹா....
பெண்களாகி போனால் கூட
ஆஆ..ஹா....
உன்னை தவிர இன்னொரு பெண்ணை
ஆஆ..ஹா....
உச்சி மோர்ந்து பார்ப்பதும் இல்லை
My life which has dried up
Make it wet with the tip of your tongue
My night which has frozen solid
Melt it with a single warm glance
மனதில் இத்தனை ரணமா
அட வலியில் இத்தனை சுகமா
அடடா அடடா அடடா அடடா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This classic romantic track from the 2000 Tamil movie 'Parthen Rasithen' portrays a young lover expressing his overwhelming infatuation and awe upon falling in love at first sight. He compares the heroine's gaze to a gradual, sweet agony—killing him bit by bit on an installment plan. He marvels at her beauty on a mundane public bus, questioning whether she is a dream or a real angel without wings. Through vivid poetic imagery, he declares his absolute devotion, stating that even if all other men turned into women, he would remain faithful solely to her.
