உன்மேலே ஆசைப்பட்டு
உள்ளுக்குள்ள விருப்ப பட்டு
வாங்கி தரேன் கூர பட்டு
கட்டிக்கிறியா
Having fallen in love with you,
Desiring you deep inside my heart,
I will buy and give you a traditional silk saree,
Will you marry me and wear it?
ஒன்னால ஒறக்கம் கெட்டு
சோறு தண்ணி ருசியும் கெட்டு
கெடக்கிறேன் உணர்ச்சி கெட்டு
கிட்ட வரியா
Having lost my sleep because of you,
Having lost my appetite for food and water,
I lie here having lost all my senses,
Will you come close to me?
அடடா மனசுல மயில் ஒன்னு
தோகை விரிக்குது
ஏனோ எனக்குள் மின்னலுடன்
மழையடிக்குதடி
Oh my, a peacock in my heart
Is spreading its colorful feathers!
I don't know why, with flashes of lightning inside me,
Rain is pouring down, my girl!
{அடி சரிதான்டி போடி
என் தங்க வானம்பாடி} (2)
{Hey, that's alright, go ahead,
My golden skylark!} (2)
உன்மேலே ஆசைப்பட்டு

Having lost my appetite for food and water,
I lie here having lost all my senses,
Will you come close to me?
கத்தரிப்பூ கண்ணால
கத்தரிச்சு போட்டுபுட்டே
சித்தரிச்ச அழகால
சின்ன வேலை செஞ்சுபுட்ட
தூங்கும்போது கனவில் வந்து
தொல்ல பண்ணுற
நீ இன்னும் என்ன செய்ய போற
இம்ச பண்ணுற
With eyes purple as brinjal blossoms,
You made me scream in emotional agony,
With your sculpted, flawless beauty,
You crafted a sweet little trap for me.
Coming into my dreams while I sleep,
You bother and tease me.
What else are you going to do to me?
You keep torturing me affectionately!
ஹே.....பாசத்தால வந்த பேச்சு
வெட்கம் வந்து வேர்த்து போச்சு
வார்தை எல்லாம் வத்தி போச்சுதே
Hey... words that came out of deep affection,
Turned into shyness that made me sweat,
And all my words dried up completely!
{அடி சரிதான்டி போடி
என் தங்க வானம்பாடி} (2)
{Hey, that's alright, go ahead,
My golden skylark!} (2)

Having lost my sleep because of you,
Having lost my appetite for food and water,
I lie here having lost all my senses,
Will you come close to me?
உன்ன மட்டும் பார்க்க சொல்லி
கண்ண ரெண்டு வச்சிருக்கேன்
என்ன தொட்ட உன்ன தொட
காத்துகிட்ட சொல்லி வச்சேன்
Asking me to look only at you,
I have kept both my eyes dedicated.
Telling the wind that if it touches me,
It must go and touch you too, I requested it.
உன் பார்வை உயிரை தோண்டி
பதியம் போடுது
ஹே.....உன் வார்த்தை உள்ள குதிச்சி
பாண்டி ஆடுது
Your gaze digs deep into my soul,
And plants a strong sapling of love.
Hey... your words jump inside me
And play the game of hopscotch!
அட வம்பளந்து பேச பேச
என்ன விட்டு ஓடி போச்சு
கொலுசு கூட ஊமையாச்சுடா
Oh, speaking playfully with banter,
It ran away from me,
Even my anklets have gone mute, my dear!
ஒன்னால ஒறக்கம் கெட்டு
சோறு தண்ணி ருசியும் கெட்டு
கெடக்கிறேன் உணர்ச்சி கெட்டு
கிட்ட வரியா
Having lost my sleep because of you,
Having lost my appetite for food and water,
I lie here having lost all my senses,
Will you come close to me?
அடடா மனசுல மயில் ஒன்னு

Oh my, a peacock in my heart
Is spreading its colorful feathers!

Rain is pouring down, my girl!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
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.
