Having fallen in love with you,

Desiring you deep in my heart,

I will buy you a wedding silk saree,

Will you wear it for me?

Losing sleep over you,

Losing all taste for food and water,

I lie here, completely overwhelmed by love,

Will you come close to me?

Oh, a peacock in my heart

is spreading its colorful feathers!

I wonder why, inside me,

rain is pouring down with flashes of lightning, girl!

{Oh, alright then, go on,

my golden skylark!} (2)

Having fallen in love with you,

Desiring you deep in my heart,

I will buy you a wedding silk saree,

Will you wear it for me?

Losing sleep over you,

Losing all taste for food and water,

I lie here, completely overwhelmed by love,

Will you come close to me?

With your striking, blossom-like eyes,

you cut right through my heart!

With your picture-perfect beauty,

you played a sweet little trick on me.

Coming into my dreams while I sleep,

you keep troubling me softly.

What more are you going to do to me?

You tease and torment me so!

Hey... words that rose out of love,

shyness arrived and broke into a sweat,

and all my words completely dried up!

{Oh, alright then, go on,

my golden skylark!} (2)

Losing sleep over you,

Losing all taste for food and water,

I lie here, completely overwhelmed by love,

Will you come close to me?

Just to keep looking at you alone,

I hold on to these two eyes.

To caress you after touching me,

I made a plea to the breeze.

Your gaze digs deep into my soul

and plants a little sapling.

Hey... your words leap inside me

and play hopscotch happily!

Ah, as we keep chatting away playfully,

everything else slipped away from me,

and even my anklet has fallen silent, my love!

Losing sleep over you,

Losing all taste for food and water,

I lie here, completely overwhelmed by love,

Will you come close to me?

Oh, a peacock in my heart

is spreading its colorful feathers!

I wonder why, inside me,

rain is pouring down with flashes of lightning, girl...

{Oh, alright then, go on,

my golden skylark!} (4)

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic folk-pop track captures the joyful, overwhelming sensation of falling deeply in love. The protagonists express how love has disrupted their daily routines—causing sleeplessness, loss of appetite, and an inability to articulate their feelings—yet bringing immense joy. The male lover offers a bridal silk saree (koora pattu) as a proposal of marriage, while comparing the emotional outburst inside his heart to a peacock dancing in the rain with thunder and lightning.
