கெரங்கிப்போனேன்
என் கன்னத்தில் சின்னம்
வச்சான் தழும்பப் போட்டு அத
ஆறாம மின்ன வச்சான்
I swooned and lost myself
He left a mark on my cheek
Leaving a scar behind
And made it glisten without ever healing
எதிரும் புதிரும்
இடறி விழுந்து கலந்துப்போச்சு
உதரும் வெதையில் கதிரு
கிளம்பி வளந்துப்போச்சு
Opposites and puzzles
Stumbled, fell, and blended together
In the seed that was scattered
The crop sprouted and grew tall
கிளி நேத்து எதிா்க்கட்சி
அது இப்போ இவன் பட்சி
இடைத்தோ்தல் வந்தாலே
இவன்தானே கொடி நாட்டுவான்
Yesterday's parrot
Was in the opposition party
Now it has joined his faction..
சிறுக்கிவாசம் காத்தோட
நறுக்கிப்போடும் என் உசுற
மயங்கிப்போனேன் பின்னாடியே........
உன்ன வச்சேன் உள்ள
அட வெல்லக்கட்டி புள்ள
இனி எல்லாமே உன்கூடத்தான்
If a by-election
Comes up, he alone
Will hoist the victory flag... ahhh
வேணாம் உயிா் வேணாம்
உடல் வேணாம் நிழல் வேணாம்
அடி நீ மட்டும் தான் வேணுன்டி
The fragrance of that sly girl carried by the wind
Chops my soul into pieces
I swooned and followed right behind you
{ உருமும் வேங்கை
ஒரு மான் முட்டித்தோத்தேனடி
உசுரக்கூட தர யோசிக்கமாட்டேனடி } (2)
I have kept you deep inside my heart
Oh sweet jaggery-like girl
From now on, my everything is only with you
பாா்க்காத பசி ஏத்தாத
இந்த காட்டான பூட்டாதடி
சாஞ்சாலே கொடை சாஞ்சேனே…………………
I don't want
Don't want life
Don't want body
Don't want shadow
Hey girl, I only want you...
சிறுக்கிவாசம் காத்தோட
நறுக்கிப்போடும் என் உசுற
மயங்கிப்போனேன் பின்னாடியே........
உன்ன வச்சேன் உள்ள
அட வெல்லக்கட்டி புள்ள
இனி எல்லாமே உன்கூடத்தான்
{A roaring tiger
Was defeated when hit by a gentle deer, my girl
Even my life
I won't hesitate to give to you, my girl...} (2)
வேணாம் உயிா் வேணாம்
உடல் வேணாம் நிழல் வேணாம்
அடி நீ மட்டும் தான் வேணுன்டி
Don't look at me like that
Don't stoke my hunger
You locked up this wild beast
When she leaned, the umbrella leaned too...
Hey... yee.. yee......
கொழையிற புழியிற
நிறையுறேன் கலையுறேன்
The fragrance of that sly girl carried by the wind
Chops my soul into pieces
I swooned and followed right behind you
நெளியுறேன் கொடையுறேன்
சாியுறேன் அலையுறேன்
I have kept you deep inside my heart
Oh sweet jaggery-like girl
From now on, my everything is only with you
ஒட்டி கொழையிற
என சக்க புழியிற ஒரு பக்கம்
நிறையிற விரல் பட்டு கலையிற…
I don't want
Don't want life
Don't want body
Don't want shadow
Hey girl, I only want you...
தொட்டா நெளியிற
என்ன குத்தி கொடையிற
கொடி கொத்தா சாியிற
ஒரு பித்தா அலையிறேன்……
You melt me, you squeeze me
I fill up, I dissolve
I squirm, I churn inside
I collapse, I wander around....
{ சிறுக்கிவாசம் காத்தோட
நறுக்கிப்போடும் என் உசுற
மயங்கிப்போனேன் பின்னாடியே........
உன்ன வச்சேன் உள்ள
அட வெல்லக்கட்டி புள்ள
இனி எல்லாமே உன்கூடத்தான்
Sticking close and melting
Squeezing me out like sugarcane pulp
Filling up on one side
Dissolving at the touch of a finger...
வேணாம் உயிா் வேணாம்
உடல் வேணாம் நிழல் வேணாம்
அடி நீ மட்டும் தான் வேணுன்டி } (2)
Squirming when touched
Piercing and gouging inside me
Collapsing like a pecked flag
I wander around like a madman...
{The fragrance of that sly girl carried by the wind
Chops my soul into pieces
I swooned and followed right behind you
I have kept you deep inside my heart

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'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”

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.
