ஆசை ஆசையாய் இருக்குதடி
உன்னை தொடரத் தொடர
நான் தொடரத் தொடர
பார்த்த நாள் முதலா பறக்க
நான் நினைக்க நினைக்க
நான் நினைக்க நினைக்க
I feel such intense desire, my dear,
To keep following you, following you,
As I keep following you,
To fly from the day I saw you,
As I keep thinking, thinking,
As I keep thinking, thinking,
வானத்தையும்
மேகத்தையும் ஒடைச்சுகிட்டு
அட நிலவொன்னு என்மேல மோதிடுச்சு
Breaking through the sky and the clouds,
Breaking apart,
Oh, a moon came and
Collided upon me!
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள கூடு கட்டி
ஒரு குயில் ஒன்னு
என் பேரை கூவிடுச்சு
Inside my heart, inside my heart,
Building a nest,
A cuckoo bird has
Called out my name!
ஊரு உலகமே......
மேலக் கல்லைவீசிப் போகையில
நீயும் ஒருத்திதான்
முதல் பூவை வீசி போனது ஏன்
While the whole town and world
Threw stones at me as they passed,
You were the only girl who
Threw a flower at me first and left!
ஆசை ஆசையாய் இருக்குதடி
உன்னை தொடரத் தொடர
நான் தொடரத் தொடர
பார்த்த நாள் முதலா பறக்க
நான் நினைக்க நினைக்க
நான் நினைக்க நினைக்க
I feel such intense desire, my dear,
To keep following you, following you,

Inside my heart, inside my heart,
Building a nest,
A cuckoo bird has
Called out my name!
கிண்டல் கேலிப் பார்வைதானே
என்மேல் இந்த நாள் வரை
கிரீடம் ஒன்னு கையில் தந்து
போனால் அந்த தேவதை
There were only mocking and teasing glances
Upon me until this day,
Giving a crown into my hand,
That angel walked away.
Inside there is joy, oh hoo,
Some kind of bliss, hoo ohh,
Oh my, above the sky my feet
Are climbing and floating away!
உள்ளே சந்தோசம் ஓ.....
ஏதோ உல்லாசம் ஓ......
ஹையோ விண் மேலே
என் கால்கள் ஏறி போகும்
Breaking through the sky and the clouds,
Breaking apart,
Oh, a moon came and
Collided upon me!
வானத்தையும்
மேகத்தையும் ஒடைச்சுகிட்டு
அட நிலவொன்னு என்மேல மோதிடுச்சு
Inside my heart, inside my heart,
Building a nest,
A cuckoo bird has
Called out my name!
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள கூடு கட்டி
ஒரு குயில் ஒன்னு
என் பேரை கூவிடுச்சு
Even my own shadow
Never came willingly towards me,
Coming truly by my side,
Like a jasmine flower that bloomed and left,
Without wings, hoo ohh,
I was like a butterfly, ohh hoo,
Now because of you, upon me
A hundred wings have grown!
என்னை எந்தன் நிழலே கூட
விரும்பி வந்ததில்லையே
எந்தன் பக்கம் நிஜமாய் வந்து
பூத்துச் சென்ற முல்லையே
Breaking through the sky and the clouds,
Breaking apart,
Oh, a moon came and
Collided upon me!
ரெக்கை இல்லாத ஓ
பட்டாம் பூச்சி நான் ஓ ஹோ
இப்போ உன்னாலே
என்மேலே நூறு சிறகுகளே
Inside my heart, inside my heart,
Building a nest,
A cuckoo bird has
Called out my name!
வானத்தையும்
மேகத்தையும் ஒடைச்சுகிட்டு
அட நிலவொன்னு என்மேல மோதிடுச்சு
While the whole town and world
Threw stones at me as they passed,
You were the only girl who
Threw a flower at me first and left!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses the overwhelming joy and emotional transformation of a man who feels rejected by society until he experiences the gentle affection of his beloved. While the rest of the world looked down on him with ridicule and hostility ('throwing stones'), she showed him tenderness ('throwing a flower'), instantly crowning his self-worth and elevating his spirit. Her love induces a state of euphoria, symbolized by a cuckoo nesting in his heart, a moon descending upon him, and wings sprouting on his back so he can fly high above the sky. The lyrics capture the ecstatic feeling of being validated and loved for the very first time.
