| Unna naa rasikka | For me to admire you, |
| Oomaiya nadikka | And pretend to be mute, |

| Vayaso perumtholla | And my youth is a big trouble, |
| Ada da vekkathil | Oh my, in blushing shyness, |

உன்ன நா
ரசிக்க ஊமையா
நடிக்க ரெட்ட
வேஷம்தான் நான்

For me to admire you,
And pretend to be mute,
It is a double role indeed,
That I am forced to play.
மனசோ
சிறுப்புள்ள வயசோ
பெரும்தொல்ல அட
டா வெக்கத்தில் நான்
குளிக்க
My mind lacks laughter,
And my youth is a big trouble,
Oh my, in blushing shyness,
For me to bathe...
கனவா நெசமா
நா கிள்ளிப்பார்த்து கரஞ்சே
போனேன் உன்னால நான்
Is it a dream or reality?
I pinched myself to check,
And I completely melted away,
Because of you, I did.
கடவுள் கிட்ட
கடன் உன்ன வாங்கி
குடுக்க மறுத்தா
கடன்காரி நா
From God Himself,
Taking you on loan,
And refusing to return,
I became a stubborn debtor.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song captures a young woman's inner turmoil, innocence, and deep feelings upon falling in love. She feels as though she is playing a double life—secretly admiring her beloved while playing dumb or mute in front of others to hide her bashfulness. Her youthful age and overwhelming emotions make her feel drenched in blush and affection. She pinches herself to confirm if her love story is a dream or reality, melting at the sheer beauty of the experience. Poetically, she views her lover as a divine treasure borrowed from God, one that she stubbornly refuses to return, playfully embracing the title of a perpetual debtor to the heavens.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Ada da vekkathil Naan kulikka”
Describing shyness as water in 'Vekkathil naan kulikka' (bathing in shyness) visually conveys being completely overwhelmed and immersed in bashful emotion.
Extended Metaphor
“Kadavul kitta Kadan unna vaangi Kudukka marutha Kadangaari naa”
The lyrics metaphorically frame love as taking a loan from God ('Kadavul kitta kadan unna vaangi') and refusing to repay it, turning the protagonist into a 'kadangaari' (debtor).
Rhetorical Question & Tactile Imagery
“Kanava nesama Na killipaarthu”
'Kanava nesama' questions reality vs illusion, followed by 'Na killipaarthu' (pinching oneself), which brings sensory tactile imagery into the expression of disbelief in love.
Monai / Alliteration
“Kadavul kitta Kadan unna vaangi”
Repetition of the initial consonant sounds like 'Ka' across consecutive lines ('Kadavul', 'Kadan', 'Kudukka', 'Kadangaari').
