{ போறா போறா
இவ எங்கேயோ கூட்டி
போறா பாதை பூரா
எனக்குள்ளே வாரா } (2)
She is going, she is going
She is taking me along somewhere
All along the path
She enters deep inside me
இது வழியா அது
வழியா எது சரியோ
அள்ளாட தடம் தெரிஞ்சும்
தள்ளாட என்னை நானே
தொலைச்சிட்டு தேட
She is going, she is going
She is taking me along somewhere
All along the path
She enters deep inside me
Is it this way?
Is it that way?
போறா போறா
இவ எங்கேயோ கூட்டி
போறா பாதை பூரா
எனக்குள்ளே வாரா
Struggling to know which path is right
Even knowing the trail
I am faltering
Searching for myself after losing who I am
ஓஹோ போறா
போறா இவ எங்கேயோ
கூட்டி போறா பாதை
பூரா எனக்குள்ளே வாரா
She is going, she is going
She is taking me along somewhere
All along the path
She enters deep inside me
மெதுவா எதுவோ
கை நீட்டி தொடுதே இடமா
வலமா இதயம் அசைஞ்சாடுதே
கிளியா மனசு தான் கிளை தாவி
போகுதே தவியா தவிச்சேன்
தலை கீழ் ஆனேன்
Oh, she is going, she is going
She is taking me along somewhere
All along the path
She enters deep inside me
Slowly, something
Reaches out its hand and touches me
To the left or to the right?
My heart sways back and forth
மாறி போனேன்
என்னமோ ஆகி போனேன்
ஏதோ மாயமா மயக்கம்
தீருமா மாறி போனேன்
என்னமோ ஆகி போனேன்
நானும் நான் இல்ல என்னை
நானே தொலைச்சிட்டு தேட
Like a parrot, my heart
Leaps and flies down below
Leaping, I struggled
I turned upside down
I have changed
I became something unknown
Is it some kind of illusion?
Will this spell end?
போறா போறா
இவ எங்கேயோ கூட்டி
போறா பாதை பூரா
எனக்குள்ளே வாரா
I have changed
I became something unknown
I am no longer myself
Searching for myself after losing who I am
ஓஹோ போறா
போறா இவ எங்கேயோ
கூட்டி போறா பாதை
பூரா எனக்குள்ளே வாரா
She is going, she is going
She is taking me along somewhere
All along the path
She enters deep inside me
நெருப்பா சுடுதே
நெஞ்சோடு எதுவோ
நிழலா வருதே புதுசா
ஒரு பூ முகம் படுத்தா
துரத்துதே பாய் மேல
ஞாபகம் பசிச்சா நிலவ
ரசிச்சா போதும்
Oh, she is going, she is going
She is taking me along somewhere
All along the path
She enters deep inside me
Like fire, it burns
Something near my chest
Like a shadow, it comes
ஏங்கி கெடந்தேன்
என்னை நான் மறந்து
போனேன் ஏக்கம் தீருமோ
என்னதான் ஆகுமோ
A fresh flower-like face
When I lie down, it haunts me
Memories rest upon my bed
Is it enough to just admire the moon when hungry?
ஏங்கி கெடந்தேன்
என்னை நான் மறந்து
போனேன் காதல்
காட்டுக்குள் என்னை
நானே தொலைச்சிட்டு
தேட
I lay there yearning
I forgot myself completely
Will this longing be fulfilled?
What will happen to me?
போறா போறா
இவ எங்கேயோ கூட்டி
போறா பாதை பூரா
எனக்குள்ளே வாரா
I lay there yearning
I forgot myself completely
Inside the forest of love
Searching for myself after losing who I am
போறா போறா
She is going, she is going
She is taking me along somewhere
All along the path
She enters deep inside me
ஓஹோ போறா
போறா இவ எங்கேயோ
கூட்டி போறா பாதை
பூரா எனக்குள்ளே வாரா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Pora Pora' from the movie 'Yaar Ivargal' expresses the disorienting yet mesmerizing feeling of falling deeply in love. The protagonist feels drawn into an unknown emotional world by the woman he loves, losing his sense of direction and self-identity along the way. His mind and heart wander unpredictably like a restless bird, leaving him completely bewitched by her presence. As her memory continuously haunts his thoughts and dreams like a burning flame, he struggles between sweet yearning and emotional turmoil, ultimately realizing he has lost himself in the dense forest of love.
