| Male | |
| Usuraankootil | In the cage of my soul |
| Ada nadakudhu yedho | Oh, something is happening |
| Kanavo nanavo | Is it a dream or reality? |
| Idhu puriyala yeno | Why don't I understand this? |
| Male | |
| Izhukkum moochil | In the breath I draw in |
| Nee irundhidathaaano | Is it because you reside there? |
| Thaviyaa thavichaen | I yearned helplessly |
| Naan marupadi yeno | Why am I like this again? |
| Male | |
| Aiyyo podhum | Oh, enough |
| Ini enna aagum | What will happen next? |
| Siripaala saaikaadha | Do not knock me down with your smile |
| Ohh… ohh..ho | Ohh… ohh..ho |
| Male | |
| Podi dhooram | A short distance away |
| Naan poren vaanam | I am going towards the sky |
| Manasellam | All over my heart |
| Maaya saaral veesuriyae | You spray a magical drizzle |
| Male | |
| Unnodu naanum | Me along with you |
| Vandhaal aagaadha | Wouldn't it be okay if I come? |
| Oh… munpola meendum | Oh… once again like before |
| Maara koodaadha | Shouldn't things change back? |
| Male | |
| En kanaavaangi | Taking my dream |
| Undhan kangal | Can your eyes |
| Kaanaadha kaanaadha | Not see it, not see it? |
| Nee illaa dhooram neengi | Leaving behind the distance without you |
| Pogaadha pogaadha | Won't it go away, won't it go away? |
| Male | |
| Enaivittu | Leaving myself behind |
| Engae naanum pogindreno | Where am I going? |
| En naetrai | My yesterday |
| Thedi thedi paarkindreno | Am I searching and looking for? |
| Male | |
| Usuraankootil | In the cage of my soul |
| Ada nadkudhu yedho | Oh, something is happening |
| Kanavo nanavo | Is it a dream or reality? |

உசுரான்கூட்டில்
அட நடக்குது எதோ
கனவோ நனவோ
இது புரியல ஏனோ
In the cage of my soul
Oh, something is happening
Is it a dream or reality?
Why don't I understand this?
இழுக்கும் மூச்சில்
நீ இருந்திடதானோ
தவியா தவிச்சேன்
நான் மறுபடி ஏனோ
In the breath I draw in
Is it because you reside there?
I yearned helplessly
Why am I like this again?
அய்யோ போதும்
இனி என்ன ஆகும்
சிரிப்பால சாய்க்காத
ஓ… ஓ…
Oh, enough
What will happen next?
Do not knock me down with your smile
Ohh… ohh..ho
போடி தூரம்
நான் போறேன் வானம்
மனசெல்லாம்
மாய சாரல் வீசூறியே
A short distance away
I am going towards the sky
All over my heart
You spray a magical drizzle
உன்னோடு நானும்
வந்தால் ஆகாதா
ஓ… முன்போல மீண்டும்
மாற கூடாத
Me along with you
Wouldn't it be okay if I come?
Oh… once again like before
Shouldn't things change back?
என் கனவாங்கி
உந்தன் கண்கள்
காணாதா காணாதா
நீ இல்லா தூரம் நீங்கி
போகாதா போகாதா
Taking my dream
Can your eyes
Not see it, not see it?
Leaving behind the distance without you
Won't it go away, won't it go away?
எனைவிட்டு
எங்க நானும் போகின்றேனோ
ஏன் நேற்று
தேடி தேடி பார்க்கின்றேனோ
Leaving myself behind
Where am I going?
My yesterday
Am I searching and looking for?
உசுரான்கூட்டில்
அட நடக்குது எதோ
கனவோ நனவோ
இது புரியல ஏனோ
In the cage of my soul
Oh, something is happening
Is it a dream or reality?
Why don't I understand this?
இழுக்கும் மூச்சில்
நீ இருந்திடதானோ
தவியா தவிச்சேன்
நான் மறுபடி ஏனோ
In the breath I draw in
Is it because you reside there?
I yearned helplessly
Why am I like this again?
அய்யோ போதும்
இனி என்ன ஆகும்
சிரிப்பால சாய்க்காத
ஓ… ஓ…
Oh, enough
What will happen next?
Do not knock me down with your smile
Ohh… ohh..ho

All over my heart
You spray a magical drizzle
லேசாக்குற லேசாக்குற
உன் பார்வையால
லூசாக்குற லூசாக்குற
உன் வார்த்தையால
You lighten me up, you lighten me up
With your gaze
You drive me crazy, you drive me crazy
With your words

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Usuraankootil captures the sweet emotional turmoil, nostalgia, and helplessness experienced by someone falling back into love or dealing with unresolved past feelings. The narrator wonders whether this intoxicating feeling is a dream or reality, sensing the lover's presence in every breath drawn. There is a strong yearning to revisit past happiness and bridge the gap between their hearts. The song juxtaposes deep introspective longing with lighthearted expressions of being completely captivated by the lover's gaze and words.
