I was completely dazed

He left a mark on my cheek

Leaving a scar behind

He made it glow without letting it heal

Rivals and riddles

Stumbled, fell, and blended into one

From the scattered seeds

A whole crop sprouted and grew tall

Yesterday, this parrot

was in the rival party

Now she belongs to his party...

Whenever a by-election

comes along, isn't he the one

who will plant his flag? Aah...

The scent of this cheeky girl in the breeze

Slices right through my soul

I fell head over heels, following behind you

I locked you deep inside my heart

Oh, sweet girl like a lump of jaggery!

From now on, everything is with you alone

I don't want anything

I don't want my life

I don't want my body

I don't want my shadow

Girl, I only want you!

A roaring tiger

lost the fight, butted by a deer, girl

Even my very life

I wouldn't think twice to give you, girl...

Don't look at me like that

Don't stir up my hunger

Don't try to cage this wild bull, girl

When you leaned, I tilted over like an umbrella...

Hey... yee... yee...

The scent of this cheeky girl in the breeze

Slices right through my soul

I fell head over heels, following behind you

I locked you deep inside my heart

Oh, sweet girl like a lump of jaggery!

From now on, everything is with you alone

I don't want anything

I don't want my life

I don't want my body

I don't want my shadow

Girl, I only want you!

You melt close, you squeeze me tight

I brim over, I come undone

I squirm, I ache deep within

I collapse, I wander lost...

You snuggle close and melt

You squeeze every drop out of me

You fill me up on one side

You come undone at the touch of a finger...

You squirm whenever I touch you

You pierce and stir me deep inside

I collapse like a dangling vine

I wander around like someone crazed...

The scent of this cheeky girl in the breeze

Slices right through my soul

I fell head over heels, following behind you

I locked you deep inside my heart

Oh, sweet girl like a lump of jaggery!

From now on, everything is with you alone

I don't want anything

I don't want my life

I don't want my body

I don't want my shadow

Girl, I only want you!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'Sirukki Vaasam' is a passionate, rustic duet from the political thriller 'Kodi' (2016). The song uniquely weaves political terminology—such as opposition parties ('Ethir katchi'), by-elections ('Idai therthal'), and hoisting flags ('Kodi naattuvaan')—into a romantic narrative, echoing the central political motif of the movie while expressing intense romantic yearning and intoxicating attraction between the leads.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Second-letter Rhyme (Edhugai)

“Sirukki vaasam kaathoda / Narukki podum en usura”

The second consonant sound matches across consecutive lines, creating rhythmic harmony.

Metaphor

“Ada vellakatti pulla”

Comparing the girl to a block of jaggery ('vellakatti') to emphasize her sweetness.

Anaphora / Repetition

“Uyir venaam / Udal venaam / Nizhal venaam”

Repetition of 'Venaam' across successive short lines to build dramatic emphasis on absolute devotion.

Metaphor / Paradox

“Urumum vengaa / Oru maan mutti thothenadi”

Comparing a fierce man to a roaring tiger and the woman to a deer that unexpectedly subdues him.

Trivia

Composed by Santhosh Narayanan with lyrics by Vivek, 'Sirukki Vaasam' was sung by Anand Aravindakshan and Shweta Mohan. Lyricist Vivek cleverely incorporated political jargon into the romantic lyrics to match the backdrop of the political drama film 'Kodi', starring Dhanush and Trisha.
