தீ யாழினி ...ஹே
தன் மௌன வாளை கொண்டே
நெஞ்சை கொஞ்சம் கீறினாள்
Fire Yazhini… hey
With the sword of her silence
She scratched my heart a little
தீ யாழினி
என் ஆண்மையை ஏன் கோரினாள்
ஹே ஹே ஹே ஹே
Fire Yazhini
Why did she claim my manhood?
Hey hey hey hey…
ஏ ஏனோ
என்னை என்னை எரிக்கிறாள்
ஏ ஏனோ
தள்ளி நின்று சிரிக்கிறாள்
தீண்டாமல் மோகத்தின்
உச்சத்தை தந்தாள்
Oh, why does she burn me, burn me?
Oh, why does she stand at a distance and smile?
Without touching, of passion
She gave me the peak
ஏ ஏனோ
விரகங்கள் விதைக்கிறாள்
ஏ ஏனோ
உயிருடன் புதைக்கிறாள்
நான் காணா அச்சத்தை
அச்சத்தை தந்தாள் ...ஆஅ.....
Oh, why does she sow the seeds of agony?
Oh, why does she bury me alive?
A fear I have never known
She gave me that fear….aaa…..
ஓஹ உடையாகி
கிழியும் நெஞ்சம்
இடையோடு வழியும் பார்வை
வெளியேற மொழியும் அஞ்சும்
குளிரோடு பொழியும் வேர்வை
Oh, the heart tears like clothing
A gaze that drips down the waist
Language fears to come out
Coldness runs while sweat pours
என் போதைகள் யாவுமே
வீணென ஆக்கினாள்
கல் ஊரும் சொல்லை
கொண்டே மயக்கினாள்
ஹே ஹே ஹே ஹே
All my intoxications
She rendered them completely wasted
She enchanted me with words dripping like wine
Hey hey hey hey…
ஏ ஏனோ
என்னை என்னை எரிக்கிறாள்
ஏ ஏனோ
தள்ளி நின்று சிரிக்கிறாள்
தீண்டாமல் மோகத்தின்
உச்சத்தை தந்தாள்
Oh, why does she burn me, burn me?
Oh, why does she stand at a distance and smile?
Without touching, of passion
She gave me the peak
ஏ ஏனோ
விரகங்கள் விதைக்கிறாள்
ஏ ஏனோ
உயிருடன் புதைக்கிறாள்
நான் காணா அச்சத்தை
அச்சத்தை தந்தாள் ...ஆஅ.....
Oh, why does she sow the seeds of agony?
Oh, why does she bury me alive?
A fear I have never known

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Thee Yazhini' depicts a man consumed by intense desire and seductive torment inflicted by a woman named Yazhini. Her silence cuts through him like a blade, and her distant smile drives him into a frenzy. Without any physical touch, she elevates his passion to its peak while sowing torment and an unfamiliar, thrilling fear within him. In the second section, her tantalizing beauty renders all his composure and previous intoxications completely useless. Her intoxicating words and piercing gaze overwhelm his senses, creating a paradox of burning desire and exhilarating vulnerability.
