Hey hey hey hehehe hehe hey hey..(2)
இலைகள் தூங்கும் இரவில்
விழிகள் விண்மீனாக
In the night when the leaves sleep,
As the eyes become shining stars,
அணில்கள் ஆடும் முன்றில்
விரல்கள் வீணை ஆக
In the courtyard where squirrels play,
As fingers turn into a musical veena,
......................
Hey hey hey hehehe hehe hey hey..
ஓ இறகை போலே
உன் குரல் பறந்து மேகத்தை மெல்ல உரச
மேகம் கனிந்த மழை நாள் ஒன்றில்
காதல் கவிதை கிறுக்க
Oh, like a feather,
Your voice flies,
To gently brush against the clouds,
As the clouds ripen,
On a rainy day,
To scribble a poem of love,
மழை வெயில் வாசம் கலந்து
மார்பில் ஊறுகிறாய்
மாய கதவின் பின்னிருந்து
காதல் கனவினை பேசுகிறாய்
Blending the scents of rain and sunlight,
You seep into my chest,
From behind a magical door,
You speak of a romantic dream,
{தானே தன்னே தானே தன்னே
தானே தன்னே தானே
தானே தன்னே தானே தன்னே
தானேனானே தானே} (2)
{Thaane thanne thaane thanne
Thaane thanne thaane
Thaane thanne thaane thanne
Thanenane thaane} (2)
திகட்ட திகட்ட திகட்ட திகட்ட காதலிப்போம்
To the point of insatiability,
Let us love until we are completely filled,
தீரா பசியுடன் எறும்பென திரிகிறாய்
எந்தன் உணர்வினிலே
ஓராயிரம் இரவை உறங்காது
தின்கிறாய் கனவிலே
With an unquenchable hunger,
You wander around like an ant,
Deep within my feelings,
Without sleeping for a thousand nights,
You consume me in my dreams,
ஏ ஏ ஏ ஓ....
Yea yea yea ho
Both: I will close my eyelids,
You will descend inside my eyes,
I will search for the iris of my eye,
You sleep even within my dreams,
இமைகளை மூடுவேன்
விழிக்குள்ளும் இறங்குவாய்
கருவிழி தேடுவேன்
கனவிலும் உறங்குவாய்
Thanenane thananane nanane…(4)
தானேனானே தானேனானே னானானே.. (4)
A photograph seen,
On some long-forgotten day,
You dwell within my eyes,
A new song heard somewhere in a fresh voice,
Now echoes in my own language,
தலைக்கோதி கலைப்பதற்கும்
தலை தோள் மேல் சாய்ப்பதற்கும்
மடி சேர்ந்து கொள்வதற்கும்
யாதும் நீ ஆகினாய்
To hide old wounds,
And to give birth to new wounds,
To make the essence of a woman felt,
You perform magical tricks,
தலைக்கோதி கலைப்பதற்கும்
தலை தோள் மேல் சாய்ப்பதற்கும்
மடி சேர்ந்து கொள்வதற்கும்
திகட்ட திகட்ட காதலிப்போம்
{To the point of insatiability, endlessly,
Let us love until we are completely filled} (2)
என்றோ பார்த்த புகைப்பட ஞாபகம்
நீ என் விழியினிலே
எங்கோ கேட்ட புது குரல் பாடல்
எந்தன் மொழியினிலே
காயங்கள் மறைக்கவும்
புது காயங்கள் பிறக்கவும்
பெண் வாசம் தெரியவும்
நீ மாயங்கள் செய்கிறாய்
மழை பெய்யும் பொழுதெல்லாம்
உன் ஞாபகம் வருகிறது
உன் ஞாபகம் வருகையிலே
அடைமழை நெஞ்சில் பொழிகிறதே
மழை பெய்யும் பொழுதெல்லாம்
உன் ஞாபகம் வருகிறது
அடைமழை நெஞ்சில் பொழிகிறதே
திகட்ட திகட்ட காதலிப்போம்
{தானே தன்னே தானே தன்னே
தானே தன்னே தானே
தானே தன்னே தானே தன்னே
தானேனானே தானே} (2)
{திகட்ட திகட்ட திகட்ட திகட்ட
திகட்ட திகட்ட காதலிப்போம்} (2)
Thigatta thigatta thigatta
To the point of insatiability, endlessly,
Thigatta kaadhalippom
Let us love until we are completely filled.

Ilaigal thoongum iravil
In the night when the leaves sleep,

From behind a magical door,
Kaadhal kanavinai pesugirai
You speak of a romantic dream,

On some long-forgotten day,
Nee en vizhiyinilae
You dwell within my eyes,
Engo keta pudhu kural paadal
A new song heard somewhere in a fresh voice,
Endhan mozhiyinilae
Now echoes in my own language,
Kaayangal maraikavum
To hide old wounds,
Pudhu kaayangal pirakkavum
And to give birth to new wounds,
Pen vaasam theriyavum
To make the essence of a woman felt,
Nee maayangal seigiraai

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Thigatta Thigatta is a lush, surreal romantic track from the movie Aneethi, composed and sung by G. V. Prakash Kumar alongside Yamini Ghantasala. The song articulates an overwhelming passion—a desire to love so intensely until one reaches saturation ('thigatta'), yet still longing for more. Through rich metaphors of nature, dreamscapes, rain, and tactile senses, the lyrics illustrate how love transforms everyday reality into magic.
