Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song segment captures the overwhelming feeling of falling hopelessly in love. The protagonist describes how a single word or glance from his lover completely disrupts his composure, exciting and shattering his world like a bolt of thunder. He celebrates the joyous helplessness of having his heart stolen so completely.

Simile (Upamai)
“Oru minnal idi polae Ennai norukkivitaal Ennai norukkivitaal Oru kaadhal valiyaalae Ennai yethyetho seidhuvitaal”
The sudden, impactful feeling of love is explicitly compared to a strike of lightning and thunder using the marker 'polae'.
Epizeuxis (Repetition)
“She stole my heart She stole my heart She stole my heart She stole my little little heart”
The immediate repetition of phrases such as 'Ennai sitharavaithaal' and 'She stole my heart' adds rhythmic energy and emphasizes the intensity of his emotion.
