பார்வையின் மறுபக்கம் ராகங்கள் கேட்டு
பாடாமல் பாடுகிறேன்......
பாடச் சொன்னாலும் ஆடச் சொன்னாலும்
என் வாழ்வு உன் வசமே........
எல்லாமும் உன்னிடமே.........
Hearing ragas beyond the horizon of a gaze,
I sing without conscious effort.
Whether asked to sing or asked to dance,
My life remains entirely in your control...
Everything I possess belongs to you...
கனவோ.......இது நினைவோ.......
என்ன சுகமோ.....
கண்ணில் நான் காண்பது
மயக்கம் மயக்கம் தீராத
ஆனந்த மயக்கம்
Is this a dream... or is this reality...
What sweet bliss this is...
What I behold in my eyes,
Is an intoxication, an endless,
Blissful intoxication.
இலையோ.......புதுமலரோ.......
இளங்கனியோ........
இன்று பெண்ணானது
இரண்டும் இரண்டும் நூறாகும்
நாள் இன்று நமக்கு........
Is it a tender leaf... or a newly bloomed flower...
Or a tender fruit...
Which today transformed into a woman?
The day where two plus two becomes a hundred,
That day is today for us...
பார்வையின் மறுபக்கம் ராகங்கள் கேட்டு
பாடாமல் பாடுகிறேன்......
Hearing ragas beyond the horizon of a gaze,
I sing without conscious effort.
அழைத்தாய் அள்ளிக் கொடுத்தாய்
கன்னிப் பிழைத்தேன் இன்ப நீராடினேன்
You called out and showered me with abundant love,
I, a young maiden, survived and bathed in joy.
எழுது எழுது
முன்னூறு பாடல்கள் உதட்டில்
பகலோ அது இரவோ
இந்த உறவு புது ராமாயணம்
வருக வருக
கண்ணோடு காமனின் கடிதம்...
Write, oh write!
Three hundred songs upon the lips.
Whether it is day or night,
This bond is a fresh new Ramayana.
Welcome, welcome!
Love letters from Kamadeva within the eyes.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a deeply romantic expression of love, surrender, and ecstasy. The heroine feels completely mesmerized by her lover's gaze, describing her state as an eternal, blissful intoxication where her actions flow effortlessly. She surrenders her destiny and life into his hands, viewing their profound emotional and physical union as something sacred and romantic enough to rival a timeless epic like the Ramayana.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Adukkuthodar (Repetition for Emphasis)
“Mayakkam mayakkam theeraatha”
Words like 'Mayakkam mayakkam' (intoxication), 'Ezhuthu ezhuthu' (write, write), and 'Varuga varuga' (welcome, welcome) are repeated consecutively to intensify emotional state and urgency.
Uruvagarm (Metaphor)
“Intha uravu pudhu raamayanam”
The relationship is metaphorically elevated to a 'pudhu raamayanam' (a new Ramayana), symbolizing a pure, epic love story.
Monaai (Alliteration)
“Paarvaiyin marupakkam raagangal kettu”
Initial letter matching ('P') creates melodic flow: 'Paarvaiyin', 'Paadamal', 'Paada'.

Trivia
