| Puriyavillai idhu puriyavillai Idhu puriyavillai.. Mudhalmudhalaai manam karaivadhu Yen endru puriyavillai.. Unadhu nyaabagam maraiyavillai adhai Maraikka ennidam thiramai illai Vizhiyil paarkkiren vaanavillai adhil Vizhuntha kaaranam thondravillai Idhupol idhuvarai aanadhillai | I don't understand, I don't understand this... I don't understand why my heart is melting for the very first time... Your memory doesn't fade, and I lack the skill to hide it; I see a rainbow in my eyes, but the reason I fell for it isn't clear, nothing like this has ever happened to me before. |

புரியவில்லை இது புரியவில்லை
இது புரியவில்லை
முதல்முதலாய் மனம் கரைவது
ஏன் என்று புரியவில்லை
உனது ஞாபகம் மறையவில்லை அதை
மறைக்க என்னிடம் திறமை இல்லை
விழியில் பார்க்கிறேன் வானவில்லை அதில்
விழுந்த காரணம் தோன்றவில்லை
இதுபோல் இதுவரை ஆனதில்லை
I don't understand, I don't understand this... I don't understand why my heart is melting for the very first time... Your memory doesn't fade, and I lack the skill to hide it; I see a rainbow in my eyes, but the reason I fell for it isn't clear, nothing like this has ever happened to me before.
புரியவில்லை இது புரியவில்லை
இது புரியவில்லை
முதல்முதலாய் மனம் கரைவது
ஏன் என்று புரியவில்லை
I don't understand, I don't understand this... I don't understand why my heart is melting for the very first time...
காலை எழுந்தவுடன்
என் கனவுகள் முடிவதில்லை
மாலை மறைந்தாலும்
பள்ளிக்கூடம் மறப்பதில்லை
Upon waking up in the morning, my dreams do not end; even when evening fades, I do not forget school.
தோழி துணையை விரும்பவில்லை
தோழன் நீயும் மாறவில்லை
பேச்சில் பழைய வேகம் இல்லை
பேச ஏதும் வார்த்தைகள் இல்லை
I do not desire the company of a female friend, nor have you changed as a friend; my speech lacks its old pace, and there are no words left to speak.
புரியவில்லை இது புரியவில்லை
இது புரியவில்லை
முதல்முதலாய் மனம் கரைவது
ஏன் என்று புரியவில்லை
I don't understand, I don't understand this... I don't understand why my heart is melting for the very first time...
ஹா....சாரல் மழையினிலே
உடல் ஈரம் உணரவில்லை
சாலை மரங்களிலே
இன்று ஏனோ நிழல்கள் இல்லை
Ah... in the drizzling rain, I do not feel my body getting wet; on the trees along the road, for some reason, there are no shadows today.
கால்கள் இரண்டும் தரையில் இல்லை
காலம் நேரம் மாறவில்லை
காற்றில் எதுவும் அசையவில்லை
காதல் போல கொடுமை இல்லை
Both my feet are not on the ground, time and moments haven't changed, nothing moves in the wind, there is no cruelty quite like love.
புரியவில்லை இது புரியவில்லை
இது புரியவில்லை
முதல்முதலாய் மனம் கரைவது
ஏன் என்று புரியவில்லை........
I don't understand, I don't understand this... I don't understand why my heart is melting for the very first time...
Puriyavillai idhu puriyavillai Idhu puriyavillai.. Mudhalmudhalaai manam karaivadhu Yen endru puriyavillai.. Unadhu nyaabagam maraiyavillai adhai Maraikka ennidam thiramai illai Vizhiyil paarkkiren vaanavillai adhil Vizhuntha kaaranam thondravillai Idhupol idhuvarai aanadhillai
I don't understand, I don't understand this... I don't understand why my heart is melting for the very first time... Your memory doesn't fade, and I lack the skill to hide it; I see a rainbow in my eyes, but the reason I fell for it isn't clear, nothing like this has ever happened to me before.
Puriyavillai idhu puriyavillai Idhu puriyavillai.. Mudhalmudhalaai manam karaivadhu Yen endru puriyavillai..
I don't understand, I don't understand this... I don't understand why my heart is melting for the very first time...
Kaalai ezhundhavudan En kanavugal mudivathillai Maalai marainthaalum Pallikoodam marapadhillai
Upon waking up in the morning, my dreams do not end; even when evening fades, I do not forget school.
Thozhi thunaiyai virumbavillai Thozhan neeyum maaravillai Pechil pazhaya vegam illai Pesa yedhum vaarthaigal illai

Kaalgal erandum tharaiyil illai Kaalam neram maaravillai Kaatril edhuvum asaiyavillai Kaadhal pola kodumai illai
Both my feet are not on the ground, time and moments haven't changed, nothing moves in the wind, there is no cruelty quite like love.
Puriyavillai idhu puriyavillai Idhu puriyavillai.. Mudhalmudhalaai manam karaivadhu Yen endru puriyavillai………….
I don't understand, I don't understand this... I don't understand why my heart is melting for the very first time...
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song portrays the innocent confusion and emotional turmoil of a young woman experiencing love for the very first time. She finds herself deeply captivated by thoughts of her love interest, rendering her unable to focus on her daily school life or mundane routines. Her reality feels altered as simple sensory experiences—like rain, shadows, and the wind—take on a surreal quality, making her realize both the sweetness and agonizing weight of love.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Anaphora / Repetition
“Puriyavillai idhu puriyavillai Idhu puriyavillai..”
The phrase 'Puriyavillai' (I do not understand) is repeated extensively to highlight the speaker's emotional bewilderment.
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Unadhu nyaabagam maraiyavillai adhai Maraikka ennidam thiramai illai”
The continuous line endings with 'illai' (maraiyavillai, thiramai illai, vaanavillai, aanadhillai) create a rhythmic, melancholic musicality.
Hyperbole
“Kaalgal erandum tharaiyil illai... Indru yeno nizhalgal illai”
Describing feet not touching the ground and shadows disappearing visually conveys the surreal sensation of romantic obsession.
