பச்சைத் தீ நீயடா
கச்சைப் பூ நானடா
ஒற்றைப் பாா்வை கொண்டே
பற்றிக் கொண்டாயடா
You are a green fire, my man
I am a tightly bound flower
With just a single glance from you
You caught me ablaze
வெற்றுக் கல் நானடா
வெட்டும் உளி நீயடா
அற்பப் பாறை என்னில்
சிற்பம் செய்தாயடா
I am a mere empty stone
You are the sharp cutting chisel
Out of me, an insignificant rock
You sculpted a beautiful statue
நீயே மண் மின்னும்
வெண்தாரகை உள்ளங்கை
சோ்ந்தப் பூந்தாாிகை
You are a white star
Shining upon the earth
Resting on my palm
Like a delicate flower girl
கைகள் நாம் கோா்க்கச்
சிறகாகுமே புது வானங்கள் உருவாகுமே
When we entwine our hands
They will turn into wings
And brand new skies
Will be created
பச்சைத் தீ நீயடா
கச்சைப் பூ நானடா
ஒற்றைப் பாா்வை கொண்டே
பற்றிக் கொண்டாயடா
You are a green fire, my man
I am a tightly bound flower
With just a single glance from you
You caught me ablaze
மான் விழிக்குள் எந்தன்
வாழ் ஒன்றைக் காண
மாமலை ஒன்றேறி வந்தேனடி
Inside your deer-like eyes
To catch a reflection of my sword
I climbed up a great mountain, my girl
இதயம் ஒன்று உள்ளதென்று
உன் அழைப்பாலே கண்டேனே
இனும் எனை இறுக்கி
அணைத்திடத் துடித்தேனே
That I possess a heart
I realized only through your call
I yearned to hold you even tighter in an embrace
நீயே மண் மின்னும்
வெண்தாரகை தோளில் வீழ்கின்ற
பூந்தாாிகை உந்தன் தோளோடு தோள்
சோ்க்கிறேன் என்னில் தோகைகள்
நான் பாா்க்கிறேன்
You are a white star
Shining upon the earth
Falling on my shoulders
Like a delicate flower girl
பச்சைத் தீ நீயடா
கச்சைப் பூ நானடா
ஒற்றைப் பாா்வை கொண்டே
பற்றிக் கொண்டாயடா
Touching shoulder to shoulder
I unite my shoulders with yours
Within myself, peacock plumes
I begin to witness
வெற்றுக் கல் நானடா
வெட்டும் உளி நீயடா
அற்பப் பாறை என்னில்
சிற்பம் செய்தாயடா
You are a green fire, my man
I am a tightly bound flower
With just a single glance from you
You caught me ablaze
கீறலில் உண்டாகும்
கீதங்கள் கேட்டால்
மோதலின் மோகங்கள் கேட்டாயடி
I am a mere empty stone
You are the sharp cutting chisel
Out of me, an insignificant rock
You sculpted a beautiful statue
பிறவி பல எடுத்தாலும்
நிகழும் கணம் நான் மறவேனே
வலிகளை வரமென தந்திடக் கேட்டேனே
If you listen to the melodies
Created by tiny scratches
The passions of our conflict
You asked for, my girl
நீயே மண் மின்னும்
வெண்தாரகை கண்ணில் தேன்
சிந்தும் பூந்தாாிகை உந்தன்
நெஞ்சுக்குள் நான் நீந்தினேன்
காதல் ஆழத்தை நான் காண்கிறேன்
Even if I take many births
I will never forget this unfolding moment
I begged you to give me these pains as a boon
பச்சைத் தீ நீயடா
கச்சைப் பூ நானடா
ஒற்றைப் பாா்வை கொண்டே
பற்றிக் கொண்டாயடா
You are a white star
Shining upon the earth
Dripping sweet honey from your eyes
Like a delicate flower girl
வெற்றுக் கல் நானடா
வெட்டும் உளி நீயடா
அற்பப் பாறை என்னில்
சிற்பம் செய்தாயடா
Deep inside your heart
I swam through
The true depth of love
I now behold

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Pachai Thee' is a sensuous and evocative duet from the blockbuster film Baahubali: The Beginning. The song captures the enchanting awakening of love and sensuality between Shivudu (Sivagami's foster son) and Avanthika (a warrior rebel). Avanthika, who has dedicated her life solely to her mission, discovers her soft, feminine side and capacity for love through Shivudu's affectionate and romantic persistence, which strips away her harsh warrior exterior like a chisel sculpting art out of a plain rock.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uvamai / Uruvagamm)
“Pachai thee neeyada / Vetru kal naanada”
Shivudu is metaphorically addressed as 'Pachai thee' (green fire) and 'Vettum uzhi' (sharp chisel), while Avanthika compares herself to an unshaped rock ('Arpa paarai') sculpted into art.
Emona / Rhyme (Monai)
“Pachai thee neeyada / Patrikondaaiyada”
Alliteration of the initial consonant sounds in 'Pachai' and 'Patrikondaaiyada', creating a rhythmic cadence.
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navortchi)
“Kaigal naam korkka siragaagumae / Pudhu vaanangal uruvaagumae”
Exaggerating the magical transformation of holding hands into growing wings capable of creating new skies.

Trivia
Composed by M. M. Keeravani (credited as M. M. Kreem / Maragathamani in Tamil), the lyrics were penned by Madhan Karky. In this song, Avanthika's warrior camouflage makeup and body paint are gradually removed by Shivudu, visually symbolizing her shedding her battle-hardened identity to accept her inner beauty and romantic feelings.
