ஆஆஆஆஆ ஆஹ்ஹாஹ் ஆஆஆ
Ah... vocalizing melodies...
போகாதே என்னை தாண்டி
போகாதே என்னை தாண்டி
போவோம் வா சொர்க்கம் தான்
எல்லாமும் நான் அறிவதுண்டு
எங்கேயும் நான் திரிவதுண்டு
சொல்லாமல் நான் வருவதுண்டு
சந்தோஷங்கள் தருவதுண்டு
என்னோடு வா.....
Do not go past me
Do not go past me
Come, let us go, it is heaven itself
I know everything
I roam everywhere
I arrive unannounced
I bring happiness
Come with me...
போகாதே என்னை தாண்டி
போவோம் வா சொர்க்கம் தான்
எல்லாமும் நான் அறிவதுண்டு
எங்கேயும் நான் திரிவதுண்டு
சொல்லாமல் நான் வருவதுண்டு
சந்தோஷங்கள் தருவதுண்டு
என்னோடு வா....
Do not go past me
Come, let us go, it is heaven itself
I know everything
I roam everywhere
I arrive unannounced
I bring happiness
Come with me...
வந்து வீசும் வாடை காற்றும்
என்னை கேட்டு வீசுமே
சிந்து பாடும் வானம்பாடி
என்னை கேட்டு பாடுமே
Even the chilly northern wind that blows
Blows only after asking my permission
The skylark singing a melody
Sings only after asking my permission
என்னை மீறி ஓடுமோ
விண்ணில் ஓடும் வெண்ணிலா
இன்பவல்லி நானும் தான்
மண்ணில் சாயும் பெண்ணிலா
Can it run beyond my power?
The bright moon running across the sky
I am indeed the creeper of delight
The female moon leaning upon the earth
வா அழைத்தாள் உனைத்தானே
ஓரிரவில் இளமானே இங்கே
Come, I am calling only you
On a night, oh young heart, right here
போகாதே என்னை தாண்டி
போவோம் வா சொர்க்கம் தான்
எல்லாமும் நான் அறிவதுண்டு
எங்கேயும் நான் திரிவதுண்டு
சொல்லாமல் நான் வருவதுண்டு
சந்தோஷங்கள் தருவதுண்டு
என்னோடு வா....
Do not go past me
Come, let us go, it is heaven itself
I know everything
I roam everywhere
I arrive unannounced
I bring happiness
Come with me...
எண்ணம் போல மாறு வேடம்
எந்த நாளும் போடுவேன்
மண்ணில் கூட வேகம் கொண்டு
மின்னல் போல ஓடுவேன்
Disguises according to my desire
I shall put on on any given day
Even upon the earth, with great speed
I shall run like lightning
முல்லை காட்டில் வாழ்ந்திடும்
மஞ்சள் வண்ண மோகினி
எல்லை கோட்டை தாண்டினால்
என்ன ஆகும் பாரு நீ
Living upon a bed of jasmine
A yellow-hued enchantress
If you cross the boundary line
Just see what will happen
ஓஒ உயிரே உளமாட
உன் எதிரில் நிலவாட இங்கே
Oh my life, as the heart sways
With the moon dancing in front of you right here
போகாதே என்னை தாண்டி
போவோம் வா சொர்க்கம் தான்
எல்லாமும் நான் அறிவதுண்டு
எங்கேயும் நான் திரிவதுண்டு
சொல்லாமல் நான் வருவதுண்டு
சந்தோஷங்கள் தருவதுண்டு
என்னோடு வா......
Do not go past me
Come, let us go, it is heaven itself
I know everything
I roam everywhere
I arrive unannounced
I bring happiness
Come with me...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Pogaadhe Ennai Thaandi' is a hauntingly alluring song from the movie Naane Varuven (1992). The song captures the voice of a mysterious, supernatural, or enchanting female spirit (Mohini) who seduces and warns her target simultaneously. She boasts about her supreme power over nature—how even the winds blow and birds sing only with her permission, and how she can shift forms and move at the speed of lightning. She invites her beloved to join her in an otherworldly paradise while subtly cautioning him about the consequences of crossing boundary lines. Lyricist Vaali weaves eerie yet enchanting imagery, complemented by K. S. Chithra's mesmerizing vocals and Shankar Ganesh's atmospheric musical composition.

The consecutive lines end with matching rhyming endings 'arivathundu', 'thirivadhundu', 'varuvadhundu', and 'tharuvadhundu', creating a rhythmic cadence.
Upamai (Simile)
“Minnal pola ooduven”
The line 'Minnal pola ooduven' compares the spirit's swift movement to lightning using the explicit comparative marker 'pola'.
Uruvagham (Metaphor)
“Inbavalli naanum thaan / Mannil saayum pennilaa”
The character describes herself metaphorically as 'Inbavalli' (a vine of joy) and 'pennilaa' (a female moon) gracing the earth.
Personification / Hyperbole

Nature elements like the wind ('vaadai kaattru') and birds ('vaanampaadi') are personified as obeying her commands before blowing or singing.
