உ
யிரில்..இளம் பூக்கள் பூக்கும்
மெதுவாய்..பறித்துக் கொள்வாய்
உனக்காகப் பூத்த பூவை நான்
இதழ்தோறும் ...அறியாத சுகந்தம்
Young flowers bloom within the soul...
Pluck them softly...
I am a flower that bloomed for you.
An unknown fragrance in every petal.
பார்வை... ஒன்று வீசி
உயிரை... மெல்ல பறித்துக் கொண்டு போடா
உனக்காகவே ...பிறந்தேன்
நீ தீண்டவே....
பெண்ணாய் மலர்ந்தேன்
Cast a single glance...
Slowly steal my soul and walk away, my boy.
I was born only for you,
For you to touch me...
I bloomed into a woman.
உனக்காகக்... கனிந்தேன் நான்
உனக்கென.... தேகம் அடைந்தேன்
I ripened for you,
I adorned this body just for you.
மடியில் உறங்க
மாதவம் செய்தேனோ
செய்தேனோ
நொடியில் அணைத்து
வயதினைக் கொல்வானோ கொல்வானோ
Did I perform great penance to sleep in your lap?
Did I?
Will he embrace me in a second and take away my age?
Will he?
மோகத் தனலில்
தீயெனச் சுடுவானோ
சுடுவானோ
முத்தச் சுழலில்
படகென விடுவானோ
விடுவானோ
Will he burn me like fire in the embers of passion?
Will he burn me?
Will he set me adrift like a boat in a whirlpool of kisses?
Will he set me adrift?
உன்னாலே உயிர்
உறைந்தேனே நான்
கொஞ்சம் உறைந்தேனே
கொஞ்சம் கரைந்தேனே
கொஞ்சம் தொலைந்தேனே
Because of you...
My life froze...
I froze a little,
I melted a little,
I lost myself a little.
உன்னாலே உயிர்
உறைந்தேன் நான்
அறிந்தும் அறியாமல்
ஏதேதோ செய்வாயா செய்வாயா
சொல்வாயா சொல்வாயா
இப்போதே கொல்வாயா கொல்வாயா
Because of you, my soul froze.
Knowingly and unknowingly,
Will you do all kinds of things? Will you?
Will you tell me... will you tell me?
Will you kill me right now? Will you?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a deeply sensual and poetic expression of love and romantic surrender. The speaker portrays her emotional and physical awakening as a flower blooming solely for her beloved. She describes her complete devotion, contemplating how her entire existence and youth feel meant for his touch. The lyrics reflect an intense passion where love causes her to simultaneously freeze with anticipation, melt in intimacy, and lose herself entirely in his embrace. Written by Na. Muthukumar, the track captures tender yearning through vivid imagery of nature, embers, and whirlpools.
