{ சிறு பார்வையாலே
கொய்தாய் என்னை விழியே
விழியே தலை சாய்த்துக்
கொள்ள வேண்டும் உந்தன்
மடியே மடியே } (2)
{With a mere glance, you plucked my heart,
Oh eyes, oh my eyes..
I long to rest my head
On your lap, your lap..} (2)
நீ தூரப் பச்சை
என் நெடுநாள் இச்சை
ஒரு மாறு வேடம் பூண்டு
வந்த மல்லிப்பூவே
முல்லைத் தீவே
You are a distant greenery..
My long-cherished desire..
Disguised in a different form, you arrived,
Oh jasmine flower, island of jasmine blossoms!
தும்பி ஆக மாறி
உந்தன் வீடு வரவா
தூங்கும் உன்னை தொட்டுப்
பார்த்து முத்தம் இடவா
தூங்கும் உன்னை தொட்டுப்
பார்த்து முத்தம் இடவா
Transforming into a dragonfly,
Should I come to your home?
Gently touching you as you sleep,
Should I give you a kiss?
Gently touching you as you sleep,
Should I give you a kiss?
சிறு பார்வையாலே
கொய்தாய் என்னை விழியே

Oh lap... oh beloved} (2)
உதய்க்கும்
மலைகளிலே மிதக்கும்
படகெனவே மறைக்கும்
முகிலிடையே சிரிக்கும்
முழு நிலவே
Among the thrashing mountain waves,
Like a floating boat...
Amidst the concealing clouds,
Like a smiling full moon..
அடக்கம்
தடுக்கிறதே அதட்டிப்
பிடிக்கிறதே நெருங்கி
வருகையிலே நொறுங்கி
உடைகிறதே
Restraint halts me,
Scolding and holding me back,
Yet when I draw near,
It crumbles and shatters!
உன் நெஞ்சில்
இட்டு என்னை தாலாட்ட
என் கர்வம் எட்டிப்
பார்க்கும் வாலாட்ட
Placing me upon your chest
To sing me a lullaby..
My pride leans out
Wagging its tail to watch..
நீ மண்ணில்
உள்ள பெண்ணே இல்லை
என்னைத் தேடி வந்தாய்
பாராட்ட
You are no ordinary mortal woman of this earth..
You came seeking me to appreciate me..
சிறு பார்வையாலே
கொய்தாய் என்னை விழியே
விழியே தலை சாய்த்துக்
கொள்ள வேண்டும் உந்தன்
மடியே மடியே
With a mere glance, you plucked my heart,
Oh eyes, oh my eyes..
I long to rest my head
On your lap, your lap.

சிலிர்க்கும்
இலைகளிலே துளிர்க்கும்
முதல் இலையே இனிக்கும்
கரும்பினிலே கிடைக்கும்
முதல் சுவையே
Among the trembling leaves….
The very first leaf to sprout..
In the sweet sugarcane..
The very first taste yielded..
விழுந்தேன்
இரவினிலே எழுந்தேன்
கனவினிலே கனவில்
நீ இருந்தாய் மறந்தேன்
வெளிவரவே
I fell into the night..
I woke up inside a dream..
You were present in that dream..
And I forgot how to step back out..
ஒரு ஜோடி
தென்றல் போகுது
முன்னாலே அதை
கால்கள் என்று
பொய்கள் சொன்னாயே
A pair of gentle breezes
Passes by in front of me..
Calling them legs,
You spoke playful lies..
நீ கொஞ்சும்
போது பல்லும் நஞ்சு
ஆனால்கூட அள்ளி
உண்பேனே
When you cuddle and affection me,
Even if your teeth held poison..
Even then, I would devour it with joy..

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Siru Paarvaiyalae from Bheema (2008) is an intimate, deeply poetic romantic melody composed by Harris Jayaraj with lyrics penned by Thamarai. The song expresses a lover's intense surrender and longing. A single look from the beloved plucks the protagonist's heart, leading to a deep desire for solace, comfort, and emotional resting on her lap. Using serene nature imagery—such as lush greenery, a moon smiling behind passing clouds, sprouting leaves, and sugarcane juice—Thamarai illustrates the purity and freshness of romantic bliss. The lyrics highlight a dreamlike state where love overrides pride and restraint, portraying the lover's graceful presence as an ethereal gift.
