அழகான வானவில் சாலை
அதில் நடக்க வழிகள் இல்லை
கண்ணடித்து அழைக்கும் விண்மீன்கள்
அதை பிடிக்க வலைகள் இல்லை
A beautiful rainbow path
There are no ways to walk on it
Stars that wink and call out
There are no nets to catch them
பஞ்சு மெத்தை போல் அந்த மேகம்
அதில் உறங்க வழிகள் இல்லை
நீ ரசிக்கத்தான் அந்த நிலவு
அதில் வசிக்க வசதி இல்லை....
That cloud like a cotton mattress
There is no way to sleep on it
That moon is only for you to admire
There are no facilities to reside on it
புறாவே ஏன் கண்ணடிச்சே
என் மனச ஏன் மந்திரிச்சே
விநோதமா ஏன் சிரிச்சே
என் உயிரை ஏன் கத்திரிச்சே
O dove, why did you wink?
Why did you cast a spell on my heart?
Why did you laugh so strangely?
Why did you snip away my life?
என் தோளில் கிடக்குற துண்ட பறிக்குறே
போர்வையாக என்ன மடிக்கிறே
அத்துமீறியே மனசில் நுழையுறே
சுரங்க பாதையில நடக்குறே
You snatch the towel resting on my shoulder
You fold me up like a blanket
You trespass and enter my heart
You walk along a secret tunnel path
புறாவே ஏன் கண்ணடிச்சே
என் மனச ஏன் மந்திரிச்சே......
O dove, why did you wink?
Why did you cast a spell on my heart?
அடி மில்லி மில்லியா கிள்ளி
என்னை திருடி போகிறாய் கள்ளி
நீ முருகன் முருகன் என சொல்லி
என்னை ஆண்டியாக்கும் வள்ளி
Pinching me millimeter by millimeter
You steal me away, you thief girl
Chanting 'Murugan, Murugan'
You are Valli who turned me into a mendicant
எனை அன்பில் மிரட்டி தினம் ஆளும்
நீ சர்வாதிக்கார மன்னன்
நீ ராதை ராதை எனச் சொல்லி
எனை வெண்ணையாக்கும் கண்ணன்
Threatening me with love and ruling me daily
You are an autocratic king
Calling out 'Rathi, Rathi'
You are Krishna who turns me into butter
அன்பே நீ நாணம் கொண்டாய்
நானொரு ஓவியன் ஆனேன்
அன்பே நீ காதலன் ஆனாய்
நான் தேவதை ஆகி விட்டேன்
My love, you felt shy
And I became a painter
Female: My love, you became my lover
And I became an angel
அடி கண்ணை மூடினால் இமையில் தெரிகிற
எப்படி தூங்குறது சொல்லும்மா
குளிக்க போகையில் கூட வருகிற
எப்படி குளிப்பது சொல்லய்யா
When I close my eyes, you appear on my eyelids
Tell me, girl, how am I supposed to sleep?
Female: Even when I go to bathe, you tag along
Tell me, sir, how am I supposed to take a bath?
புறாவே ஏன் கண்ணடிச்சே
என் மனச ஏன் மந்திரிச்சே
என் தோளில் கடக்குற துண்ட பறிக்குறே
போர்வையாக என்ன மடிக்கிறே
அத்துமீறியே என் மனசில் நுழையுறே
சுரங்க பாதையில் நடக்குறே
O dove, why did you wink?
Why did you cast a spell on my heart?
You snatch the towel resting on my shoulder
You fold me up like a blanket
You trespass and enter my heart
You walk along a secret tunnel path
ஒரு பலூன் போல என் மனசு அட
பறந்து போகுது பாரு
அதனுள்ளே இருக்குற காத்து
அது நீ கொடுத்த மூச்சு
Hey, like a balloon, my heart
Look, it is flying away
The air trapped inside it
Is the breath that you gave me
ஒரு பூவைப் போல என் உயிரு
இப்ப பூத்து குலுங்குது பாரு
அதனுள்ளே இருக்கிற வாசம்
அது நீ கொடுத்த நேசம்
Like a flower, my life
Look, it blooms and sways now
The fragrance trapped inside it
Is the affection given by you
இப்போது இரவா பகலா
இதென்ன வெய்யிலா மழையா
ஒன்றேதான் எல்லாம் இங்கே
ஒன்றாய் நாமிருந்தால்
Is it night or day right now?
Is this bright sunshine or rain?
Male: Everything is just one single reality here
If we remain united as one today
பூமி நழுவுது வானம் நழுவுது
வேற்று கிரகம் நம்மை அழைக்குது
சிறந்த காதலர் என்று நமக்குத்தான்
காதல் வாழ்த்து தன்னை அனுப்புது
The earth slips, the sky slips
An alien planet is calling out to us
Male: Declaring us as the best lovers
Love itself is sending us its heartfelt wishes
புறாவே ஏன் கண்ணடிச்சே
என் மனச ஏன் மந்திரிச்சே
விநோதமா ஏன் சிரிச்சே
என் உயிரை ஏன் கத்திரிச்சே
O dove, why did you wink?
Why did you cast a spell on my heart?
Why did you laugh so strangely?
Why did you snip away my life?
என் தோளில் கிடக்குற துண்ட பறிக்குறே
போர்வையாக என்ன மடிக்கிறே
அத்துமீறியே மனசில் நுழையுறே
சுரங்க பாதையில் நடக்குறே....

You fold me up like a blanket

You walk along a secret tunnel path
Azhagaana vaanavil saalai
A beautiful rainbow path

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful romantic duet from the film 'Eazhaiyin Sirippil' captures the overwhelming, dreamy feeling of falling in love. The lovers exchange lighthearted banter and playful accusations, describing how love has completely disrupted their daily routine—making it impossible to sleep, bathe, or think straight. They use vivid and whimsical imagery, comparing their emotional state to balloons floating into the sky, flowers blooming with fragrance, and unreachable celestial bodies like rainbows and stars. As the song progresses, the lovers elevate their affection through legendary and mythological references—comparing themselves to Lord Murugan and Valli, or Lord Krishna and Rathi. The overwhelming bliss of their connection makes time and space blur, creating a magical reality where earth and sky slip away, and love itself sends blessings to the couple.
