கண் கூசுதே
ஜொலிக்கிறாயே
சிரிக்கிறாய் நீ
கொஞ்சம் உன்னாலே
கெஞ்சும் உள்ளமே
இனிக்கிறாயே
இழுக்கிறாயே
My eyes dazzle
You shine brilliantly
You smile
A little because of you
My heart pleads
You taste sweet
You pull me in
Each of your eyes
Tells your true hue
கண்கள் ஒவ்வொண்ணும்
சொல்லும் உன் வண்ணம்
Far away, oh far away
Come along with me
Far away, oh far away
Without you even asking

உன்னாலே நானும் ஆளானேன்
You alone
Ripping me off completely
You looted me
Do not kill me, beautiful one
Bit by bit
Do not shake my heart, flower
Flower... flower
பொல்லாத பூவே
கிள்ளாதா பூவே
நீ பார்த்தால் நானும் தூளாவேன்
My sky
You are the night, you are the moon
Unseen by the clouds
That body is you
I don't need the day
I don't need light
Without any morning
You are that evening
நீயே எனை
கொள்ளை கொள்ளையாய்
கொள்ளை அடித்தாயே
கொல்லாதே அழகியே
சின்ன சின்னதாய் நெஞ்சை
அள்ளாதே பூவே
பூவே பூவே
Far away, oh far away
You are my joy
Far away, oh far away
My breath
என் வானமே
இரவு நீயே நிலவு நீயே
மேகம் பாக்காதே
தேகம் நீதானே
Far away, oh far away
You are my comfort
Far away, oh far away
My love
பகலும் வேண்டாம்
வெளிச்சம் வேண்டாம்
காலை இல்லாத
மாலை தான் நீயே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Pattasu Poove' from Sila Nodigalil (2023) is an upbeat romantic track composed and performed by Bjorn Surrao with lyrics by Vignesh Ramakrishna. The narrator expresses his deep enchantment with his love interest, metaphorically describing her as a fragile yet fiery presence (a glass flower and firecracker flower). He marvels at how her glance subdues him and completely captures his heart, painting a dreamy nightscape where she is his moon, comfort, and breath.
