இது மாலை மயங்கும் வேலையா
நீ வா வா கைகூட
இரு விழிகள் ஆடும் வேட்டையா
நீ வா வா மெய் சேர
Is this the time when evening swoons?
Come, come, let our hands join.
Is this a hunting game played by two pairs of eyes?
Come, come, let our bodies unite.
கண்ணோடு உதடு பேசுமா ?
கையோடு இளமை சேருமா ?
கஜலாடும் நெஞ்சம் ஏங்குமா ?
கன நேரம் உள்ளம் தூங்குமா ?
Will lips speak along with eyes?
Will youth join hand in hand?
Will the heart yearning for love pine away?
Will the mind sleep even for a moment?
தீயே தீயே ராத்தீயே இனித்தீயே
தீண்ட தீண்ட தீர்ந்தியே

Oh fire, fire, lovely goddess Rathi, sweet one!
As I touch you more and more, you exhaust me.
Oh fire, fire, goddess Rathi, twin fires!
Unendingly, unendingly, we merged together.
அடி ராங்கனி ராங்கனி ராங்கனி
என்னை ரம்மில் ஊற போடு
இனி காமணி காமினி காமினி
நெருங்காமல் நெருங்கி ஆடு
Hey Rangani, Rangani, Rangani!
Soak me in rum.
From now on, lover girl, lover girl, lover girl!
Dance closely without getting too close.
செம் மாங்கனி மாங்கனி மாங்கனி
இரு கன்னம் தந்த சூடு
உயிர் வாங்கினி வாங்கினி வாங்கினி
இது இரவுக் காடு இரையை தேடு
Like a ripe red mango, mango, mango,
Is the warmth given by your two cheeks.
Taking my life, taking it, taking it...
This night is a forest, hunt for your prey!
தீயே தீயே ராத்தீயே இனித்தீயே
தீண்ட தீண்ட தீர்ந்தியே

As I touch you more and more, you exhaust me.

அழகான வார்த்தை நீ என்றால்
முற்று புள்ளி வெட்கம்
மெதுவாக உன்னை வர்ணித்தால்
மூழ்கி சொக்கி நிற்கும்
If you are a beautiful word,
Then shyness is the full stop.
If I describe you gently,
The whole universe stands mesmerized.
அணு சிதைவில்லாமல் பெண்ணில் மின்சாரம்
இருவரி கவிதைகள் மின்னும் இதழாகும்
அட மேல் உதட்டை கீழ் உதட்டை
ஈரம் செய்யும் நேரம்
உயிர் மேலிருந்து கீழ் இறங்கி
என்னென்னவோ ஆகும்
இது தீண்டளுக்கும் தூண்டலுக்கும்
இடையில் உள்ள மோகம்
முத்த தேனில் மூழ்க முன்நேரம்
Electricity in a woman without atomic decay,
Beautiful lips that shine like a two-line poem.
Hey, the upper lip and the lower lip,
It is the time to make them wet.
Descending from the top of soul to the bottom,
Something unexplained happens.
This is the infatuation that exists between,
Touch and temptation.
Advancing to drown in the honey of a kiss...
தீயே தீயே ..
தீயே தீயே ராத்தீயே இனித்தீயே
தீண்ட தீண்ட தீர்ந்தியே
தீயே தீயே ராதீயே இருத்தீயே
தீர தீர சேர்ந்தியே
Fire, fire... unceasing!
Oh fire, fire, lovely goddess Rathi, sweet one!
As I touch you more and more, you exhaust me.
Oh fire, fire, goddess Rathi, twin fires!
Unendingly, unendingly, we merged together.

கொஞ்சி குலவ சொல்லும்
Unmelted limbs made with perfection,
They stick close to the heart.
Sins committed without shortfall,
Tell us to cuddle and make love.
அசைகின்ற சொத்துக்கள் உன்னில் ஏராளம்
அசத்திடும் வித்தைகள் என்னில் தாராளம்
ஒரு கால் முளைத்த வானவில்லை
சாலையோரம் கண்டேன்
நடமாடும் அந்த பூவனத்தில்
சாரல் வீச கண்டேன்
பனி தூவலாக புன்னைகைக்கும்
பறவை ஒன்றை கண்டேன்
தீயும் தேனும் சேரும் மெய் கண்டேன்
Moving assets are plentiful in you,
Striking techniques are abundant in me.
I saw a rainbow that sprouted a leg,
On the roadside.
In that walking flower garden,
I saw a gentle drizzle blowing.
Like a dewdrop, smiling,
I saw a bird.
I saw eyes where fire and honey meet.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Theeye Theeye is a fast-paced, sensuous dance duet from the movie Maattrraan that celebrates intense romantic attraction and physical intimacy. Set against the backdrop of dusk and night, the lyrics use passionate imagery—comparing love to fire, honey, rainbows, and night hunting—to convey irresistible desire and playful chemistry between lovers.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Monai (Initial Alliteration)
“Theeye theeye ratheeye inithiyae / Theenda theenda theernthiyae”
Repetition of the initial 'Th' sound across adjacent words creates a rhythmic and melodic flow.
Metaphor (Uruvagamm)
“Oru kaal mulaitha vaanavillai saalaiyoram kanden”
The lover is poetically visualized as a rainbow that grew a leg and walked on the roadside.
Edhukai (Second Letter Rhyme)
“Uraiyamal seidha angangal / Kuraiyamal seidha paavangal”
The second consonant 'rai' matches in consecutive lines, adding structural harmony.
