சோபனா கண்ணாலே
ஹே ஓ சொக்கு பொடி
போட்டாலே என் மனசில்
சோபனா கண்ணாலே நான்
மயங்கி சாயிறேன் தன்னாலே
ஹே உன்னாலே
Oh girl with beautiful dream-like eyes..
Male: Hey, she cast a magic spell on me..
In my heart, oh girl with beautiful eyes
I am swooning and leaning on my own..
Hey, because of you
ஓ சொக்கு பொடி
போட்டாயே என் மனசில்
சோபனா கண்ணால நான்
மயங்கி சாய்வது உன் தோழா
ஏய் கண்ணாளா
Oh, you cast a magic spell on me..
In my heart, oh girl with dream-like eyes
I am swooning and leaning on your shoulder..
Hey, handsome with sweet eyes
பழசெல்லாம் புதுசாக
தெரிவது சரியா தப்பா
மனசெல்லாம் பொடியாகி
உதிருது மணலா இப்போ
Old things appearing brand new now
Is it right or wrong?
Female: My entire heart turned to powder
And is falling like sand now
ஓ மொத்தமாக மொத்தமாக
முத்தம் தாரேன் ஒத்துக்கோயேன்
ஒத்துக்கோயேன்
Oh.. all together, all together
I will give you kisses
Agree to it, agree to it

ஹே நேத்து ராத்திரி
கண்ட சொப்பனம் இன்னிக்கு
காலைல மறந்தே போச்சு தந்த
முத்தங்கள் மட்டும் நியாபகம்
வரலாச்சி
Hey, last night's
dream that I saw
Was completely forgotten this morning
Only the kisses you gave
Came back to my memory...
இந்த ராத்திரி அந்த
முத்தத்த தந்து போக நீ வருவே
நானே கண்ண மூடியே கன்னம்
காட்டியே படுப்பேனே
Tonight
Those very kisses
To come and give to me
You will come.. and I myself
Closing my eyes..
Showing my cheek, I will lie down..
மிதந்த படகு ஒடஞ்ச
மூழுகு கரைஞ்ச அழுகு நீந்தி
பார்ப்போமே
Floating boat..
Broken submerged vessel
Melted beauty..
Let us swim and see...
கண்டுக்காம கண்டுக்காம
காற்று வந்து அள்ளி போக அள்ளி
போக
தள்ளி போக தள்ளி போக
ஆசை எல்லாம் கட்டிக்கிச்சு
கட்டிக்கிச்சு
Ignoring it, ignoring it
As the wind sweeps everything away
Female: Moving away, moving away
All desires clung tightly together
ஹே ஹே ஹோல்டு
மீ டைட் ஹே ஹே டேக் மீ
நௌ
Hey hey.. hold me tight..
Hey hey.. take me now..
எக்கச்சக்கமா என்ன
வச்சு நீ செய்யும் கற்பனை
போதும் போதும் ஆன போதிலும்
மேலும் கேட்கவே மனசு ஏங்கும்
In excess
Keeping me in mind
The fantasies you build
Are enough, enough
Even so
To hear even more
The heart yearns
சொன்ன பாதிக்கே
சொக்கி போறியே மீதி உள்ளத
சொன்னா தீந்தேன் என்ன விட்டு
நீ ஓடி ஒளியவே வழி கேட்ப
Just for half of what was said
You are mesmerized
If the remaining part
Is told, I am finished
Leaving me behind
To run and hide
You will ask for a way
முடிஞ்சா தொறத்து
கிழிச்சா சிரிச்சு உதட்டால்
வளச்சு மீதம் சொல்வாயோ
If you can, chase me..
Tearing into a smile
Curving your lips..
Will you tell the rest?
ஓ மொத்தமாக மொத்தமாக
முத்தம் தாரேன் ஒத்துக்கோயேன்
ஒத்துக்கோயேன்
Oh.. all together, all together
I will give you kisses
Agree to it, agree to it
அதுக்கென்ன அதுக்கென்ன
தள்ளி நின்னு எண்ணிக்கோயேன்
எண்ணிக்கோயேன்
Why not, why not..
Standing at a distance
Count them, count them...
ஓ சொக்கு பொடி
போட்டாயே என் மனசில்
சோபனா கண்ணால ஆஹா
நான் மயங்கி சாய்வது உன்

Oh, you cast a magic spell on me..
In my heart, oh girl with dream-like eyes.. aaahaaa...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful and romantic duet from the film 'Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal' captures a flirtatious exchange between lovers who are completely captivated by each other. The protagonist describes feeling under a spell ('sokkupodi'), swooning in love and finding everything old suddenly feeling fresh and new. The heroine responds in kind, teasingly promising endless kisses while playfully instructing him to stand at a distance and count them as her heart turns to sand with affection. As the song progresses, the imagery shifts into night-time dreams, lingering memories of intimate kisses, and sweet romantic fantasies. The lyrics written by Thamarai strike a delicate balance between sensual romantic longing and youthful, rhythmic teasing, mirroring the surreal theme of imagination and love explored throughout the movie.
