ஆழி பேர் ஆழி
வெண் மழையானதோ
யாழி பெண் யாழி
உன் விழியானதோ
The deep ocean, the vast ocean
Has it turned into white rain?
The musical Yaazh, a female Yaazh
Has it become your eyes?
ஆழி பேர் ஆழி
வெண் மழையானதோ
யாழி பெண் யாழி
உன் விழியானதோ
The deep ocean, the vast ocean
Has it turned into white rain?
The musical Yaazh, a female Yaazh
Has it become your eyes?
உன் விழி ரெண்டிலே
தொலைகின்றேனே
இழுத்தாய் மெல்ல
உந்தன் உள்ளே
அடி உன் சுவாசமே
உயிர் தீண்டினால்
In both of your eyes
I am losing myself
You pulled me gently inside you
Oh dear, if your breath
Touches my soul
Is it monsoon inside my heart?
நெஞ்சோடுதான்
கார்காலமா
Is it monsoon inside my soul, oo ho...
உயிரின் உள்ளே
கார்காலமா..ஓஹோ

....................
If she moves away like a reed
The thorn of desire scratches me
As she speaks angrily and leaves
My soul overflows due to love-quarrels
நாணலால் இவள் நீங்கி போனால்
மோக முள் எனை கீறுதே
கோவமாய் இவள் பேசி போக
ஊடலால் உயிர் மீறுதே
My path, my path
Will reach your feet
Even if it is far away
What remains of me is you alone
பாதை என் பாதை
போய் சேரும் உன் பாதம்
தூரம் என்றாலும்
என் மீதம் நீதான்
The intoxication given by the maiden
I want this forever
Every day, day in and day out
From now on, only with you
கோதை தரும் போதை
இது வேண்டும் எந்நாளும்
நாளும் அன்றாடம்
இனி உன்னோடுதான்
Hey ey ...
The deep ocean, the vast ocean
Has it turned into white rain?
The musical Yaazh, a female Yaazh
Has it become your eyes?
ஹே ஹே ஆழி பேர் ஆழி
வெண் மழையானதோ
யாழி பெண் யாழி
உன் விழியானதோ
The deep ocean, the vast ocean
Has it turned into white rain?
The musical Yaazh, a female Yaazh
Has it become your eyes?
ஆழி பேர் ஆழி
வெண் மழையானதோ
யாழி பெண் யாழி
உன் விழியானதோ
Aazhi per aazhi
The deep ocean, the vast ocean
Ven mazhai aanadho
Has it turned into white rain?
Yazhi pen yazhi
The musical Yaazh, a female Yaazh
Un vizhi aanadho
Has it become your eyes?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Aazhi Per Aazhi from the movie Memories (2021) is a soulful Tamil romantic track that captures a lover's deep fascination and emotional surrender to his beloved. The song metaphorically compares the vastness of an ocean to gentle rain and the sweetness of the ancient Yaazh instrument to the heroine's captivating eyes. He describes how her presence pulls him in, bringing a refreshing monsoon of emotions into his heart and soul. The track further touches upon the sweet bitterness of romantic disagreements (Oodal), where even brief moments of anger or distance feel like thorns of desire, ultimately reinforcing that his life's path solely leads to her.
