உன் காதலால் உடைந்தது கர்வம்
மெளனத்தில் மயங்கும் பெண்மணி நானும்
உன் வார்த்தையில் சிதறுது சித்தம்
கண்மணியென நீ அழைத்திட நானும்
My pride shattered because of your love
I am the woman who swoons in silence
My mind scatters at your words
When you call me your beloved
மனம் அறியா புது வித ஏக்கம்
எந்தன் உயிர் வரை உன் காதலை தாக்கும்
கண்கள் அது உனை மட்டும் பார்க்கும்
எனது பெண்மை உன் அருகினில் தோற்கும்
A new kind of longing known to the heart
Your love strikes deep right into my soul
These eyes will look only at you
My womanhood surrenders near you
ஹோ ஓ
கண்மணி கண்மணி ஆசை ஆசையாய் கூடுதே
என் மனதில் உனை மட்டும் கேட்குதே ஏற்குதே
என்றும் உனக்குள்ளே தொலைந்திட… தோனுதடி
Ohhhooo
Male: Oh darling, oh darling, desire grows with passion
My heart asks for and accepts only you
I feel like getting lost within you forever, my dear
உன் காதலால் உடைந்தது கர்வம்
மெளனத்தில் மயங்கும் பெண்மணி நானும்
My pride shattered because of your love
I am the woman who swoons in silence
தீயென தெரிந்தும் அருகில் வர துணிந்தேனடி
வலியென அறிந்தும் சுகத்தை இதில் உணர்ந்தேனடி
Knowing it was fire, I still dared to come near, my dear
Knowing it was pain, I felt sweet pleasure in it, my dear
நீரை நெருப்பின் அடியில் சுமந்தேனடா
உனக்குள் எழுமோ ஒரு தீச்சுடரா
I carried water beneath the fire, my dear
Will a flame rise within you?
மெய் மறந்து தீயில் மெதுவாய் எறிந்தேன்
விழுந்த இடமே தீயல்ல
நீயென்று பின்பே புரிந்தேன்
Forgetting myself, I burned slowly in the fire
The place where I fell was not fire
I realized later that it was you
ஓஹோ
கள்வனே கள்வனே
காயம் தந்தவள் என்றுமே நானடா
எனினும் என்னைத்தான்
ஒரு முறை பார்த்து சொல்லடா
உயிர்பிழைப்பேன் உன் மடியில்
Ohooo
O thief, o thief
I am the one who always inflicted wounds, my dear
Even so, just look at me...
Look at me once before you go, my dear
I will come back to life in your lap
என் காதலால் உடைந்தது நீயோ
இந்த மெளனம் நம்மை கொல்வது ஏனோ
என் ஆசையின் விளைவறியாமல்
உன் மீது உள்ளுள் நான் இழுத்துவிட்டேன்
Are you the one who broke because of my love?
Why is this silence killing us both?
Without knowing the price of my desire
Did I drag you into it?
Un kaadhalaal udainthathe karvam
My pride shattered because of your love
Mounathil mayangum penmani naanum
I am the woman who swoons in silence
Un vaarthaiyil sidharuthu sitham
My mind scatters at your words
Kanmaniyena nee azhaithida naanum
When you call me your beloved
Manam ariya pudhu vidha yekkam
A new kind of longing known to the heart
Endhan uyir varai un kadhalai thakkum
Your love strikes deep right into my soul
Kangal adhu unai mattum paarkum
These eyes will look only at you
Enadhu penmai un aruginil thorkkum
My womanhood surrenders near you
Ohhhooo
Ohhhooo
Male :Kanmani kanmani aasai aasaiyaai koodudhae
Male: Oh darling, oh darling, desire grows with passion
En manadhil unai mattum ketkudhae yerkudhae
My heart asks for and accepts only you
Endrum unakkullae tholaindhida thonudhadi
I feel like getting lost within you forever, my dear
Un kaadhalaal udainthathe karvam
My pride shattered because of your love
Mounathil mayangum penmani naanum
I am the woman who swoons in silence
Theeyna therindhum arugil vara thunindhenadi
Knowing it was fire, I still dared to come near, my dear
Valiyena arindhum sugathai idhil unardhenadi
Knowing it was pain, I felt sweet pleasure in it, my dear
Neerai neruppin adiyil sumandhenada
I carried water beneath the fire, my dear
Unakkul ezhumoo oru theechudaraa
Will a flame rise within you?
Mei marandhu theeyil medhuvaai erindhen
Forgetting myself, I burned slowly in the fire
Vizhundha idamae theeyilla
The place where I fell was not fire
Neeyendru pinbae purindhen
I realized later that it was you
Ohooo
Ohooo
Kalvenae kalvenae
O thief, o thief
Kaayam thandhaval endrumae naanada
I am the one who always inflicted wounds, my dear
Eninum ennaithaan
Even so, just look at me...
Oru murai paarthu sellada
Look at me once before you go, my dear
Uyir pizhaippen un madiyil
I will come back to life in your lap
En kaadhalaal udainthavan neeyoo
Are you the one who broke because of my love?
Indha mouunam nammai kolvadhu yenoo
Why is this silence killing us both?
En aasaiyin vilaivariyamal
Without knowing the price of my desire
Unnnai naan adhil izhuthu vittenoo
Did I drag you into it?
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This soulful track portrays the vulnerability, passion, and emotional conflict experienced by two lovers. The female protagonist reflects on how her ego and pride completely dissolved upon falling in love, leading her into a deep state of surrender. Even though love feels like playing with fire and brings emotional turmoil, she finds pleasure in that exquisite pain. The song explores the dualities of silence and confession, passion and healing. The lovers grapple with the overwhelming force of their mutual affection, questioning if their intense desire inadvertently hurt each other, while ultimately yearning for warmth, connection, and solace in each other's presence.
