Pattu poochi kootai pudaithathu
Ottrai siragaal vaanai edithathu
Innoru siragaal ennai udithathu
Sukku sukkaai nooru sukku sukkai
Oru sorga thundai naanum kaana
Sokki sokki aanmai naana
Pachai ratham patri erindhathu
Ekku thappaai aiyo ekku thappaai
Iru kulai thalliya vaazhai maram
En melae saaindhathu moondru tharam
Thavamae seiyaamal thavanai illaamal
Devadhai thandathu kaadhal varam
Pattu poochi kootai pudaithathu
Ottrai siragaal vaanai edithathu
Innoru siragaal ennai udithathu
Sukku sukkaai nooru sukku sukkai
Oru sorga thundai naanum kaana

A butterfly broke out of its cocoon
With one wing, it struck the sky
With its other wing, it kicked me
Into pieces, shattered into a hundred pieces
As I caught sight of a piece of heaven
Mesmerized and enchanted, my manhood blushed
My fresh young blood caught fire and blazed
Wildly out of control, oh, completely out of control!
A plantain tree heavy with two bunches of fruit
Leaned against me three times
Without doing any penance, without any delay
An angel granted me the blessing of love
A butterfly broke out of its cocoon
With one wing, it struck the sky
With its other wing, it kicked me
Into pieces, shattered into a hundred pieces
As I caught sight of a piece of heaven
Mesmerized and enchanted, my manhood blushed
My fresh young blood caught fire and blazed
Wildly out of control, oh, completely out of control!
...
Chorus: Ooh ooh ooh na na na… (4)
A small desire
Arose in me back then
That very desire today
Has become a sweet torment because of you
All the thoughts in my mind
Have vanished completely today
All the beauty my eyes could see
Has settled over me like a vast ocean
Touched by the invisible hands of the breeze
The first bud of love has blossomed
A butterfly broke out of its cocoon
With one wing, it struck the sky
With its other wing, it kicked me
Into pieces, shattered into a hundred pieces
As I caught sight of a piece of heaven
Mesmerized and enchanted, my manhood blushed
My fresh young blood caught fire and blazed
Wildly out of control, oh, completely out of control!
...
Aaha hoooaah… (2)
Hooo ooo oo aahh
Haa… ooaah…
Haa… ooaah
Today, standing right before me,
A woman's beauty struck me dead
Killing me over and over,
Your beauty chewed and devoured my life
Thinking of you, thinking of you,
My whole soul swells with longing
All the beauty my eyes have beheld,
I yearn for my fingertips to touch
My darling, dipping into the kohl in your eyes,
I write my very first poem of love
A butterfly broke out of its cocoon
With one wing, it struck the sky
With its other wing, it kicked me
Into pieces, shattered into a hundred pieces
Chorus: Into pieces, into tiny pieces
As I caught sight of a piece of heaven
Mesmerized and enchanted, my manhood blushed
My fresh young blood caught fire and blazed
Wildly out of control, completely out of control!
A plantain tree heavy with two bunches of fruit
Leaned against me three times
Without doing any penance, without any delay
An angel granted me the blessing of love

Beyond the translation

Pattu Poochi is a sensory and highly poetic expression of a young man falling overwhelmingly in love. Poet Vairamuthu uses vivid imagery, metaphorizing the sudden rush of passion to a butterfly bursting out of its cocoon, shattering the protagonist's world into a hundred pieces. The lyrics explore how desire evolves from a minor spark into a captivating torment that completely disables rational thought and awakens intense physical and romantic longings.
