| Yen idhu polae | Why was it not like this before? |
| En naetrum illai | My yesterday was never like this. |
| Yen enai polae | Why am I not like myself? |
| Ingu naanum illai | Even I am not like my usual self here. |
| Oru velai manadhai indrae thirandhen thaana | Did I perhaps open my heart today? |
| Oru velai paadam yaavaiyum marandhen thaana | Did I perhaps forget all my lessons? |
| Oru velai veda thol adhu uraindhen thaana | Did I perhaps shed my outer disguise? |
| Naan naan idhuva idhuva | Is this me? Is this really me? |
| Female | |
| Naan pogum dhisaiyum | The direction I head towards, |

ஏன் இது போலே
என் நேற்றும் இல்லை
ஏன் எனைப்போலே
இங்கு நானும் இல்லை
ஒரு வேளை மனதை இன்றே
திறந்தேன் தானா
ஒருவேளை பாடம் யாவையும்
மறந்தேன் தானா
ஒருவேளை வேடர் போல்
அது உரைந்தேன் தானா
நான் நான் இதுவா இதுவா..
Why was it not like this before?
My yesterday was never like this.
Why am I not like myself?
Even I am not like my usual self here.
Did I perhaps open my heart today?
Did I perhaps forget all my lessons?
Did I perhaps shed my outer disguise?
Is this me? Is this really me?
நான்போகும் திசையில்
நான் கேட்ட இசையும்
உன்னோடு நடந்தால்
புதிதாய் புதிதாய்
The direction I head towards,
And the music I listen to,
When walking alongside you,
Feels brand new, brand new.
கானாத கனவாய்
சுமை கொல்லாத உறவாய்
உன்னோடு இருந்தால்
உலகே புதிதாய்
Like an unseen dream,
Like a relationship that carries no burden,
When I am with you,
The entire world feels brand new.
ஓஒ......ஓ.....
பொல்லாத அலையோ
என் காலை இழுக்க
வா என்று நீயோ
என் கையை இழுக்க
பூமி கீழ் இழுக்க
வானம் என்னை மேல் இழுக்க
பாவம் நான் அழுவேன்
என்ன வேணும்
Oooo....oo...
Is it a mischievous wave,
Pulling at my feet?
Or is it you saying 'come',
Pulling at my hand?
The earth pulls me downward,
The sky pulls me upward,
Poor me, I am brought to tears,
What do you want?
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஹோ
ஹோ ஓ ஓஒ
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஹோ
ஹோ ஓ ஓஒ
Hoo oo oo hoo
Hoo oo ooo
Hoo oo oo hoo
Hoo oo ooo
தூய்மை செய்யாத பாடல்
தூரல் போல் வீழும் காதல்
தோழியாய் உந்தன் தோள்கள்
தூக்கம் தூரமென
An unpolished, pure song,
Love falling like gentle drizzle,
Your shoulders acting as a friend,
Keeping sleep far away.
நாடே உன் பாடல் கேட்க்கும்
நாளும் தூரத்தில் இல்லை
நாளை என்றென்று வாசி
நான் மட்டும் கேட்க்க
The whole country will listen to your song,
That day is not far off.
Play it forever for tomorrow,
So that I alone can listen.
இந்த காலம்
உன் தாளம் இல்லாமல் வாசி
முதல் ரசிகை நான்தானே
எனக்காக வாசி
This time...
Play freely without sticking to strict rhythm,
For I am your very first fan,
Play it just for me.
வேறேது உனதாய்
இதில் எல்லாமே அழகாய்
உன்னாலே இதனால்
அழகாய் அழகாய்
What else is yours?
All of this becomes beautiful,
Because of you, through this,
So beautiful, so beautiful.
நீளுகின்ற திருவாய்
என் காலோடு வருவாய்
உன்னாலே என் உயிரே
புதிதாய் புதிதாய்
Along the extending holy path,
Will you walk with my steps?
Because of you, my life
Feels brand new, brand new.
ஏன் இது போலே
என் நேற்றும் இல்லை
ஏன் எனைபோலே
இங்கு நானும் இல்லை
ஒரு வேளை மனதை இன்றே
தெரிந்தேன் தானா
ஒருவேளை பாடம் யாவையும்
மறந்தேன் தானா
ஒருவேளை வேடர் போல்
அது உரைந்தேன் தானா
நான் நான் இதுவா இதுவா..
Why was it not like this before?
My yesterday was never like this.
Why am I not like myself?
Even I am not like my usual self here.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This soulful track captures the overwhelming feeling of young, transformative love where everything in life suddenly feels novel and profound. The protagonist reflects on how meeting their beloved has altered their perspective on reality, causing them to shed old mental burdens and step out of their guarded facade into a world filled with melody and joy.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Edhugai (Second letter rhyming)
“Naan pogum dhisaiyum / Naan ketta isaiyum”
The second consonant 'na' rhymes across the lines 'Naan pogum dhisaiyum' and 'Naan ketta isaiyum'.
Anaphora (Repetition)
“Oru velai manadhai indrae thirandhen thaana”
Repetition of 'Oru velai' at the beginning of consecutive lines creates a rhythmic reflection on self-discovery.
Metaphor
“Thooral pol veezhum kaadhal”
Comparing love to a gentle drizzle ('Thooral pol veezhum kaadhal') and pretending to shed a disguise ('veda thol').
