சிலு சிலு சிலுவென தென்றல் சிரிக்குது
சுட சுட சுட சுட மழையும் பெய்யுது
பட பட பட வென இதயம் பறக்குதம்மா
தொடு தொடு தொடு என மனசு தவிக்குது
விடு விடு விடுவென வயசு தடுக்குது
பிடி பிடி பிடியென பைத்தியம் பிடிக்குதம்மா
The cool, gentle breeze laughs lightly,
While hot, warm rain pours down,
My heart flutters and flies away, oh my!
The heart yearns, saying 'touch, touch, touch',
My age restrains me, saying 'leave it, leave it, leave it',
Madness grips me, saying 'hold on, hold on, hold on'!
அடி எனக்கு கருவறை உண்டு
அதில் உன்னை சுமக்கிறேன் இன்று
உன்னை தொட்டதினாலே நான்
பறந்து போனேன் மேலே
Hey girl, I have a womb within me,
And today, I carry you inside it.
Just because I touched you,
I flew high up into the sky.
மேலே மேலே மேலே போயிபுட்டேன்
அந்த நிலவில் மோதி கீழே விழுந்துபுட்டேன்
நான் மேலே மேலே மேலே போயிபுட்டேன்
அந்த நிலவில் மோதி கீழே விழுந்துபுட்டேன்
I went up, up, up higher,
Crashed into that moon and fell back down.
I went up, up, up higher,
Crashed into that moon and fell back down.
என் உச்சம் தலையில் ஏறி
நீ ஒற்றை காலில் நின்று
உள்ளங்காலின் ரேகை எல்லாம் பார்க்க சொல்லாதே
சிக்கி முக்கி கண்ணால் என்னை உரசி பார்க்காதே
Standing on top of my head,
Balancing on a single leg,
Don't ask me to read the lines on the soles of your feet!
Don't ignite me by striking me with your flint-like eyes!
என் தலையணை உரைகள் எல்லாம்
உன் தாவணி போலே இருக்கு
உறங்கும் போதும் உருளும் போதும் உன் முகம் தெரியுதடி
கண்ணுல காதுல மூக்குல நாக்குல காதல் வழியுதடி
All my pillow covers,
Look like your half-saree.
Even as I sleep or toss around, I see your face, girl!
Love is overflowing through my eyes, ears, nose, and tongue!
கொப்பரை தேங்காய் போலே
நான் குப்புற படுத்து கிடந்தேன்
ஒரு கொப்பரை தேங்காய் போலே
நான் குப்புற படுத்து கிடந்தேன்
நீ எனக்கென்று தெரிந்த பின்னே
ஒரு கோபுரம் போலே எழுந்தேன்
Like a dry, hollow coconut shell,
I was lying face down helplessly.
Chorus: Mmm...mmm...mm...mmm...
Male: Like a dry, hollow coconut shell,
I was lying face down helplessly.
Once I realized that you were meant for me,
I stood tall like a temple tower.
நானும் மேலே மேலே மேலே போயிபுட்டேன்
அந்த நிலவில் மோதி கீழே விழுந்துபுட்டேன்
நான் மேலே மேலே மேலே போயிபுட்டேன்
அந்த நிலவில் மோதி கீழே விழுந்துபுட்டேன்
I too went up, up, up higher,
Crashed into that moon and fell back down.
I went up, up, up higher,

நான் கற்பூரம் போலே இருந்தேன்
நீ தொட்டதும் குப்புனு எறிஞ்சேன்
உசுர புடிங்கி உனக்கு கொடுத்து ரொம்ப நாளாச்சு
உணவை நிறுத்தி உடலை வருத்தி மனசும் இளைசாச்சு
I was like camphor,
The moment you touched me, I caught fire instantly!
It has been long since I plucked out my soul and gave it to you.
I stopped eating, tormented my body, and my heart has thinned down.
உன் பார்வை தொட்டதினாலே
நான் அழகாய் மாறினேனே
மூச்சு காத்து மோதியதாலே பேச்சு முட்டுதடி
பேச்சு நின்று போனதினாலே காய்ச்சல் அடிக்குதடி
Just because your gaze touched me,
I transformed into someone beautiful!
Because your breath collided with me, I am rendered speechless!
Because my speech stopped, a fever grips me!
வேப்பங் குளத்து கிழியே
என் வயச உடைச்ச உளியே
என் வேப்பங் குளத்து கிழியே
என் வயச உடைச்ச உளியே
பாரடி எந்தன் கதியை
நீ ஓடி வாடி வெளியே
Oh parrot of Veppangulam village!
Oh chisel that reshaped my youth!
Oh parrot of Veppangulam village!
Oh chisel that reshaped my youth!
Look at my plight, come running outside!
உன்னால் மேலே மேலே மேலே போயிபுட்டேன்
அந்த நிலவில் மோதி கீழே விழுந்துபுட்டேன்
நான் மேலே மேலே மேலே போயிபுட்டேன்
அந்த நிலவில் மோதி கீழே விழுந்துபுட்டேன்
Because of you, I went up, up, up higher,
Crashed into that moon and fell back down.

Silu Silu Siluvena is a high-spirited romantic track from the movie Kovil (2004), portraying the protagonist's joyful overwhelming emotion upon falling in love. The song expresses how love lifts his spirits to surreal heights—metaphorically soaring so high into the sky that he bumps into the moon and crashes back down to earth.
