| Yee…ehh..ehh.. | Yee…ehh..ehh.. |
| Ava yaaru enga theriyala | I don't know who she is or where she is from, |
| Kai pesi nozhanju vandhaalae | She entered my life through a mobile phone. |
| Korala kooda kekkala | I haven't even heard her voice, |
| Otha usura pudingi kondaalae | Yet she snatched away my single life. |
| Male | |
| Ava yaaru enga theriyala | I don't know who she is or where she is from, |
| En manasa muzhungi thinnaalae | She swallowed and devoured my heart. |
| Mookku muzhiya paakkala | I haven't seen her face clearly, |
| Oru kodi kerakkam thanthaalae | Yet she gave me a crore dizzying emotions. |
| Male | |
| Thaanaa vandha kaadhal dhevatha | She is a goddess of love who arrived on her own, |
| Veenaa pesa neram podhala | Time is never enough to talk endlessly. |
| Thaena vandhu kottum aasaiya | Desires shower down like sweet honey, |
| Venaa solli thalla nenjil thembilla | My heart lacks the strength to say no and push her away. |
| Male | |
| Thangameenae thangameenae | Oh Golden Fish, oh Golden Fish, |

| Kekkum naala theduren | I am searching for the day to listen to it. |
| Male | |
| Kedaiyaa kedanthen | I lay down helplessly, |
| Ava veral naga idukkula mannaaga | Wishing to be the speck of dust tucked under her fingernail. |
| Varamaa nenachen | I considered it a divine blessing, |
| Kulichadhum ava kaluthula neeraaga | To be the water droplet trickling down her neck after a bath. |
| Valinjadhum en mocham angae | My ultimate salvation lies right there as it flows down. |

ஏ..ஏஹ் ..ஏஹ் ...
அவ யாரு எங்க தெரியல
கை பேசி நொழஞ்சு வந்தாளே
குரல கூட கேக்கல
ஓத்த உசுர புடிங்கி கொண்டாளே
Yee…ehh..ehh..
I don't know who she is or where she is from,
She entered my life through a mobile phone.
I haven't even heard her voice,
Yet she snatched away my single life.
அவ யாரு எங்க தெரியல
என் மனச முழங்கி தின்னாளே
மூக்கு முழிய பாக்கல
ஒரு கோடி கெரக்கம் தந்தாளே
I don't know who she is or where she is from,
She swallowed and devoured my heart.
I haven't seen her face clearly,
Yet she gave me a crore dizzying emotions.
தானா வந்த காதல் தேவதை
வீணா பேச நேரம் போதல
தேனா வந்து கொட்டும் ஆசைய
வேணா சொல்லி தள்ள நெஞ்சில் தெம்பில்ல
She is a goddess of love who arrived on her own,
Time is never enough to talk endlessly.
Desires shower down like sweet honey,
My heart lacks the strength to say no and push her away.
தங்கமீனே தங்கமீனே
நெனப்புல துள்ளி குடிக்கிற
எங்க போறேன் என்ன ஆறேன்
நிலவரம் ஒன்னும் புரியல
Oh Golden Fish, oh Golden Fish,
You leap and splash inside my thoughts.
Where am I going? What am I becoming?
I don't understand the state of things at all.
தங்கமீனே தங்கமீனே
நெனப்புல துள்ளி குடிக்கிற
எங்க போறேன் என்ன ஆறேன்
நிலவரம் ஒன்னும் புரியல
Oh Golden Fish, oh Golden Fish,
You leap and splash inside my thoughts.
Where am I going? What am I becoming?
I don't understand the state of things at all.
மைய தீட்டுற கண்ணுக்குள்ளறா
என்ன பாக்க ஏங்குறேன்
கம்மல் காதோரம் படிக்கும் ராகத்த
கேக்கும் நாள தேடுறேன்
Inside those kohl-lined eyes,
I yearn to see my reflection.
The melody played by her ear stud near her ear,
I am searching for the day to listen to it.
கெடையா கிடந்தேன் அவ விரல்
நக இடுக்குல மண்ணாக
வரமா நெனச்சேன் குளிச்சதும்
அவ கழுத்துல நீராக
வழிஞ்சதும் என் மோச்சம் அங்கே
I lay down helplessly,
Wishing to be the speck of dust tucked under her fingernail.
I considered it a divine blessing,
To be the water droplet trickling down her neck after a bath.
My ultimate salvation lies right there as it flows down.
தங்கமீனே தங்கமீனே
நெனப்புல துள்ளி குடிக்கிற
எங்க போறேன் என்ன ஆறேன்
நிலவரம் ஒன்னும் புரியல
Oh Golden Fish, oh Golden Fish,
You leap and splash inside my thoughts.
Where am I going? What am I becoming?
I don't understand the state of things at all.
தங்கமீனே தங்கமீனே
நெனப்புல துள்ளி குடிக்கிற
எங்க போறேன் என்ன ஆறேன்
நிலவரம் ஒன்னும் புரியல
Oh Golden Fish, oh Golden Fish,
You leap and splash inside my thoughts.
Where am I going? What am I becoming?
I don't understand the state of things at all.

என் மனச முழங்கி தின்னாளே
மூக்கு முழிய பாக்கல
ஒரு கோடி கிரக்கம் தந்தாளே
I don't know who she is or where she is from,
She swallowed and devoured my heart.
I haven't seen her face clearly,
Yet she gave me a crore dizzying emotions.

He describes how her digital presence has completely consumed his thoughts, leaving him bewildered and hopelessly in love. Throughout the track, he compares her memory to a playful 'Golden Fish' leaping through his mind. The song blends modern vernacular with poetic imagery of longing—dreaming of seeing his reflection in her eyes or becoming the water droplet trailing down her neck.
