Come, my star,

When no one is watching...
You cross stealthily like a cat.

You impregnate me with your eyes.
Even if the entire sky
Runs out or fades away...
We shall play the games of love.
நீ நீதானே
கண்கள் திருடும் கள்ளன்…
நீ நீதானே
ஆடை திருடும் வில்லன்…
I shall echo whatever you say,
My precious girl...
Come, my star,
My mother tongue,
The voice of my Thiruv,
O idol of silicon...
யாருமே பார்க்காத போது…
பூனை போல் தாண்டி செல்வாய்
யாவரும் பார்க்கின்ற போது…
கண்களால் கர்ப்பம் செய்வாய்
வானம் எல்லாம்
தீர்த்தாலும் தூர்ந்தாலும்…
காதல் விளையாடல் செய்வாய்
My beauty meant for motherhood...
I shall offer for you to behold...
சொன்னது வழிமொழிவேன்
கண்ணே பெண்ணே…
Come, my star,
My mother tongue,
The voice of my Thiruv,
O idol of silicon...

That glance you give,
Even for that brief look,
What the inner meaning is,
Only I would truly know.
தாய்க்கானா என் அழகை…
காண தருவேனே…
The meaning of your silence,
Is it not me?
A kiss upon your chest,
Is it not me?
வா தாரகையே
என் தாய் மொழியே
என் திருவின் குரலே
சிலிக்கான் சிலையே…
The entrance to my life,
Is it not you?
The song of your lineage,
Is it not me?

Defects themselves become perfection,
A stain itself becomes beauty,
You alone are the moon inside my house.
நீ பார்க்கும்
சின்ன பார்வைக்கும்
பொருள் என்ன
நான் தான் அறிவேனே
Whatever was wished will come true,
My precious girl...
உன் மௌனத்தின் அர்த்தம்
நானன்றோ…
உன் மார்புக்கு முத்தம்
நானன்றோ…
Come, my star,
My mother tongue,
The voice of my Thiruv,
O idol of silicon...
என் வாழ்வுக்கு வாசல்
நீயன்றோ
உன் வம்சத்தின் பாடல்
நானன்றோ
My beauty meant for motherhood...
I shall offer for you to behold...
குறை தான நிறைவு
கரை தானே அழகு
நீயே என் வீட்டுக்குள் நிலவு
Come, my star,
My mother tongue,
The voice of my Thiruv,
O idol of silicon...
நினைத்தது நிறைவேறும்
கண்ணே பெண்ணே…

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Vaa Tharagaiyae from Thiruvin Kural is an intimate romantic track celebrating deep emotional connection and affectionate playfulness. Lyricist Vairamuthu blends traditional poetic tropes with modern imagery, addressing the lover as a star, a beloved mother tongue, and a modern 'silicon statue'. The song conveys intense longing, quiet understanding between lovers, and the transformative power of love that turns flaws into beauty.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uruvagom)
“En thaai mozhiyae / Silicon silayae…”
Compares the beloved directly to one's native language ('En thaai mozhiyae') and a modern sculpture ('Silicon silayae').
Simile (Uvamaani)
“Poonai pol thaandi selvaai”
Uses 'pol' (like) to compare stealthy movement to that of a cat sneaking by.
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navortchi)
“Kangalaal garbam seivaai”
Exaggerates the emotional power of a romantic look by describing it as 'impregnating with eyes'.
Antithesis / Parallelism (Muran)
“Kurai dhaane neraivu / Karai dhaane azhagu”
Pairs contrasting ideas ('Kurai' - defect with 'Neraivu' - completion, 'Karai' - stain with 'Azhagu' - beauty) to accentuate unconditional love.

Trivia
The line 'En thiruvin kuralae' serves a clever dual purpose: it weaves the title of the movie (Thiruvin Kural) directly into the lyric, while simultaneously paying homage to the immortal Tamil literary masterpiece, the Thirukkural.
