...
With your dreamy eyes...
Male: Hey, oh she cast a magic spell on me...
In my heart, oh girl with dreamy eyes!
I swoon and fall all on my own...
Hey, all because of you!
Oh, you cast a magic spell on me...
In my heart, oh boy with dreamy eyes!
Is it your shoulder I lean on as I swoon?
Hey, my dreamy-eyed love!
Everything old looks brand new now,
is it right or wrong?
Female: My whole heart has turned to dust,
and crumbles like sand right now.
Oh, all at once, in heaps and heaps,
I will shower you with kisses,
please accept them, accept them!
Why not, why not?
Stand a little away,
and count them, count them!
Hey, oh she cast a magic spell on me...
In my heart, oh girl with dreamy eyes!
I swoon and fall all on my own...
Hey, all because of you!
Drive you crazy... sexy sexy...
Drive you crazy... sexy sexy...
...
Hey, last night,
the dream that I had,
I completely forgot this morning.
Yet only the kisses you gave
somehow came back to memory...
Tonight,
those very kisses,
you will come to give
and leave... and I,
closing my eyes,
will lie down offering my cheek!
A boat that was floating...
if it breaks, let it sink;
if it dissolves, let it ruin...
let us try swimming through!
Carelessly, without paying heed,
as the wind comes to carry us away,
Female: as we drift further and further,
all our desires embraced each other!
Hey hey, hold me tight...
Hey hey, take me now...
Endlessly,
with me in your thoughts,
the fantasies you make—
that's enough, more than enough!
Even so,
to hear even more,
the heart still yearns!
Just for the half I told you,
you are already spellbound;
if I tell you
the rest that is left, I am done for!
Leaving me behind,
you will search for a way
to run away and hide!
Chase me if you can...
flashing a smile,
curving your lips...
will you tell me the rest?
Oh, all at once, in heaps and heaps,
I will shower you with kisses,
please accept them, accept them!
Why not, why not?
Stand a little away,
and count them, count them!
Oh, you cast a magic spell on me...
In my heart, oh boy with dreamy eyes... aahaa...
Is it your shoulder I lean on as I swoon?
Hey, my dreamy-eyed love!
Everything old looks brand new now,
is it right or wrong?
Female: My whole heart has turned to dust,
and crumbles like sand right now.
Oh, all at once, in heaps and heaps,
I will shower you with kisses,
please accept them, accept them!
Why not, why not?
Stand a little away,
and count them, count them!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

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.
