Until just a moment ago, I was myself,
How did I lose myself the moment I saw you?
In a single second, I forgot the whole world.
Hoo ooh hoo ooh
The moment I saw you, I forgot to sleep,
When love arrived, I floated on the breeze.
How can I ever live without you?
Hoo ooh hoo ooh
In the gentle drizzle of your gaze,
I end up catching a cold.
Whenever you are close beside me,
something strange happens to me.
Hoo whoa.. hoo whoa.. hoo-ah hoo-ah
Hoo whoa.. hoo whoa.. hoo-ah hoo-ah
Until just a moment ago, I was myself,
How did I lose myself the moment I saw you?
In a single second, I forgot the whole world.
Hoo ooh hoo ooh
I have become like a stranger to myself,
as love pours completely over me.
Just like the endless stretch of the sky,
my longing for you keeps expanding.
In the night, lost in thoughts of you,
I end up losing all my sleep.
Coming so close to me in my dreams,
oh, please don't come and drive me crazy...
Hoo whoa.. hoo whoa.. hoo-ah hoo-ah
Hoo whoa.. hoo whoa.. hoo-ah hoo-ah
Until just a moment ago, I was myself,
How did I lose myself the moment I saw you?
In a single second, I forgot the whole world.
Hoo ooh hoo ooh
If you just look at me, that is more than enough,
flowers shower all over me, hoo ooh.
If you just say a single word,
my fingers are ready to touch fire, ho ooh.
Because of you, a thirst like a flood
comes overflowing all over me.
And oh, you cast a look at me
that burns like fire inside me.
Hoo whoa.. hoo whoa.. hoo-ah hoo-ah
Hoo whoa.. hoo whoa.. hoo-ah hoo-ah
Until just a moment ago, I was myself,
How did I lose myself the moment I saw you?
In a single second, I forgot the whole world.
Hoo ooh hoo ooh
In the gentle drizzle of your gaze,
I end up catching a cold.
Whenever you are close beside me,
something strange happens to me.
Hoo whoa.. hoo whoa.. hoo-ah hoo-ah
Hoo whoa.. hoo whoa.. hoo-ah hoo-ah

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Sattrumun Varai' captures the overwhelming, sudden onset of romantic feelings. The protagonist describes how their world flipped upside down the moment they laid eyes on their beloved. Earlier grounded and composed, they now feel completely disoriented, weightless, and lost in thought, floating in air and losing sleep.

Trivia

Madha Gaja Raja is an action-comedy directed by Sundar C., starring Vishal. Although produced much earlier, the film's delayed release preserved Vijay Antony's catchy melodic-pop tunes from his prolific era as a full-time music director before his full transition into lead acting.
