வா வாசுகி
வா வாசுகி
என்னோடு வா
Come Vasuki
Come Vasuki
Come with me
உன் பூவிழி
என் தாய்மடி
ஆராரோதான்
Your flower-like eyes
Are like my mother's lap
A comforting lullaby
கிளை ஆகாயம் போனாலும்
வேர் என்றுமே
இந்த மன்னோடுதான் உள்ளது
நான் ஊரெங்கும் சென்றாலும்
எண்ணம் எல்லாம் அடி உன்னோடுதான் உள்ளது
Even if branches reach towards the sky
The root always
Remains tied to this soil
Wherever in the world I go
All my thoughts remain with you, my dear
இந்த தீராத ஆறாத பேராசைக்கு
இன்று நான் என்ன பேர் வைப்பது
நெருப்பு இல்லாமல் புகை இல்லாமல்
ஒரு தீ என்னை சூழ்கின்றது
For this insatiable, unquenchable desire
What name shall I give it today?
Without fire, without smoke
A flame surrounds me
தத்திதான் தாவுது தாவுது தாவுது
தத்திதான் தாவுது தாவுது மனசு
உன்னைத்தான் ஏங்குது ஏங்குது ஏங்குது
உன்னைத்தான் ஏங்குது ஏங்குது வயசு
எஹ் ஹேய்
Hopping and leaping, leaping, leaping
My heart hops and leaps
Yearning, yearning, yearning for you
My youth yearns only for you
Eh heiii
தத்திதான் தாவுது தாவுது
உன்னைத்தான் ஏங்குது ஏங்குது
Hopping and leaping
Yearning for you
வா வாசுகி
வா வாசுகி
என்னோடு வா......ஆஅ......ஆ.....

ஆராரோதான்
Your flower-like eyes
Are like my mother's lap
A comforting lullaby
தத்திதான் தாவுது
உன்னைத்தான் ஏங்குது
Hopping and leaping
Yearning for you
ஓர் இரு நாள் உரையாடலிலே
உலகம் உலகம்
இனி வேர் ஒரு தோரணை ஆகிறதே
முழுதும் முழுதும்
In just a couple of days' conversation
The world, the world
Now takes on a completely new attitude
Entirely, entirely
வீரனை சூரனை போல் இருக்கு
மனதும் மனதும்
உன் வீடுள்ள வீதியில் போனாலும்
உதறும் உதறும்
A mind that was brave and heroic
Heart and mind
Even walking down the street where your house is
Trembles and shivers
உன்னை பாராமல் வேர் ஏதும் பணி இல்லை
ஆனால் நேராக பார்க்கின்ற துணிவில்லை
அன்பே நீ இன்றி என் நாட்கள் இனி இல்லை
இங்கு நீ என்றும் நான் என்றும் தனி இல்லை
I have no other task than seeing you
Yet I lack the courage to look at you directly
My love, without you my days cease to exist
Here, there is no separate 'you' or 'I' anymore
உந்தன் வாசம் நுகரும்
அந்த நொடி பொழுதே
உள்ளுக்குள்ளே ஏதோ ஒன்று நடக்கிறதே
In that very instant when I smell your fragrance
At that precise moment
Something happens deep inside me
வா வாசுகி
வா வாசுகி
என்னோடு வா
Come Vasuki
Come Vasuki
Come with me...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Vaa Vasuki from the film Seeru is a tender romantic track where the protagonist expresses his profound love and affection for Vasuki. He compares his deep emotional attachment to tree roots anchored to the soil—no matter where his life takes him, his heart remains steadfastly bound to her. The song captures the sweet nervousness, affection, and comforting warmth that love brings, equating her gaze to the peaceful comfort of a mother's lap while describing the restless beating of his enamored heart.

Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uvamai)
“Kizhai aagayam ponaalum / Ver endrumae / Indha mannodu thaan ulladhu”
Compares his rooted attachment to Vasuki with a tree's root system remaining grounded in earth regardless of how high its branches spread.
Paradox / Oxymoron
“Neruppu illaamal pugai illaamal / Oru thee ennai soozhgindrathu”
Describes the passion of love as an invisible flame consuming him without any actual fire or smoke.
Repetition (Adukkuthodar)
“Thathi thaan thavudhu thavudhu thavudhu”
Repeats words like 'thavudhu' and 'yengudhu' to rhythmically underline the eager, restless longing of the lover's heart and youth.
