| Un kannai partha piragu | After looking into your eyes |
| En ullae latcham siragu | A hundred thousand wings sprout inside me |
| Un ora paarvai asaivil | At the movement of your side-glance |
| Manam kudai saayum | My heart tilts like an umbrella |
| Nee vandhu pona piragu | After you came and went |
| Thalaikeelaai maarum ulagu | The world turned upside down |
| Un illam irukum dhisayil | In the direction where your home lies |
| Thiriyudhu en paadham | My feet keep wandering |

உன் கண்ணை பார்த்த பிறகு...
என் உள்ளே லட்சம் சிறகு.....
உன் ஓர பார்வை அசைவில்
மனம் குடை சாயும்
After looking into your eyes
A hundred thousand wings sprout inside me
At the movement of your side-glance
My heart tilts like an umbrella
After you came and went
The world turned upside down
In the direction where your home lies
My feet keep wandering
நீ வந்து போன பிறகு
தலை கீழாய் மாறும் உலகு
உன் இல்லம் இருக்கும் திசையில்
தெரியுது என் பாதம்
Like a banyan tree swaying in water
Like a leaf floating in the wind
My heart too
Is changing into yours
தண்ணீரில் ஆடும் அலையாய்
காற்றோடு மிதக்கும் இலையாய்
என் மனதும் மாறுகின்றதே உனதாய்
Sometimes very pleasant
Sometimes a heavy burden
Oh dear, love troubles me
In a brand new way
சில நேரம் மிகவும் சுகமாய்
சில நேரம் மிகவும் சுமையாய்
ஐயோ காதல் படுத்துகின்றதே புதிதாய்
After looking into your eyes
A hundred thousand wings sprout inside me
At the movement of your side-glance
My heart tilts like an umbrella
உன் கண்ணை பார்த்த பிறகு...
என் உள்ளே லட்சம் சிறகு.....
உன் ஓர பார்வை அசைவில்
மனம் குடை சாயும்
Hey girl, a woman like you
I have never seen anywhere
Until today, my heart
No one has attracted
Wowu wow oh oh
அடி உன்னை போல
பெண்ணை எங்கும் கண்டதில்லை
இன்று வரை என் மனதை
யாருமே ஈர்த்ததில்லை
ஓ ஓஹ் ஓ......
When your lips
Say my name
I shiver and yearn
I am not in my own control
Wowu wow oh oh
உன் உதடு எந்தன் பேரை
சொல்லும் நேரம்
சிலிர்கிறேன் தவிகிறேன்
என்வசம் நானும் இல்லை
ஓ ஓஹ் ஓ......
Even after the rain stops, the branches
Just like how they shower a light drizzle
Even after you pass by, in my memories
You remain...
மழை நின்ற போதும் கிளைகள்
சிறு தூறல் போடுவது போல்
நீ கடந்த பிறகும் நினைவில் இருப்பாய்..
After looking into your eyes
A hundred thousand wings sprout inside me
At the movement of your side-glance
My heart tilts like an umbrella
உன் கண்ணை பார்த்த பிறகு...
என் உள்ளே லட்சம் சிறகு.....
உன் ஓர பார்வை அசைவில்
மனம் குடை சாயும்
Leaving me behind, my heart
Follows behind you
I try to stop it, I try to avoid it
But my heart does not listen
Wowu wow oh oh
..........................
Never like today have I
Been so mesmerized
Before this, such ecstasy
Had never rushed through me
Wowu wow oh oh
என்னை விட்டு உள்ளம்
உந்தன் பின்னல் செல்லும்
தடுக்கிறேன் தவிர்கிறேன்
இதயமும் கேட்கவில்லை
ஓ ஓஹ் ஓ......ஆ ஹ் ஹா.....
Where were you yesterday?
Today you entered my heart
Now tomorrow, what plight will you cause me?
நான் இன்று போல என்றும்
சொக்கிபோனதில்லை
இதற்குமுன் எனக்கு இந்த
பரவசம் பாய்ந்ததில்லை
ஓ ஓஹ் ஓ......
After looking into your eyes
A hundred thousand wings sprout inside me
At the movement of your side-glance
My heart tilts like an umbrella
நீ நேற்று எங்கு இருந்தாய்
என் நெஞ்சில் இன்று நுழைந்தாய்
இனி நாளை என்ன அவஸ்தை புரிவாய்
Like a banyan tree swaying in water
Like a leaf floating in the wind
My heart too
Is changing into yours
உன் கண்ணை பார்த்த பிறகு...
என் உள்ளே லட்சம் சிறகு.....
உன் ஓர பார்வை அசைவில்
மனம் குடை சாயும்
Sometimes very pleasant
Sometimes a heavy burden
Female Chorus :Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey

தண்ணீரில் ஆடும் அலையாய்

என் மனதும் மாறுகின்றதே உனதாய்
சில நேரம் மிகவும் சுகமாய்
சில நேரம் மிகவும் சுமையாய்
ஐயோ காதல் படுத்துகின்றதே புதிதாய்
ஆஆ....ஆஅ....ஆஅ....
ஆஆ....ஆஅ....ஆஅ....
ஏ.....ஏஹி....ஏ......ஆஅ......
உன் கண்ணை பார்த்த பிறகு...

உன் ஓர பார்வை அசைவில்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Un Kannai Partha Piragu from the film Yuvan Yuvathi conveys the sweet exhilaration and emotional vulnerability experienced when falling deeply in love. The protagonist reflects on how a simple look from his beloved completely alters his world, filling him with an airy sense of joy while making his heart stubbornly wander towards her. The lyrics highlight the duality of love as both a pleasant sensation and a sweet burden that disrupts one's usual composure.
