வாய மூடி
சும்மா இருடா ரோட்ட
பாத்து நேரா நடடா
கண்ணக் கட்டி காட்டுல
விட்டுடும்டா காதல் ஒரு
வம்புடா
Shut your mouth and stay quiet, man!
Look at the road and walk straight, man!
It will blindfold you and leave you stranded in the forest, man!
Love is a trouble, man!
வாய மூடி

It will blindfold you and leave you stranded in the forest, man!

கடிகாரம்
தலைகீழாய் ஓடும்
இவன் வரலாறு
எதுவென்று தேடும்
அடிவானில் பணியாது
போகும் இவன் கடிவாளம்
அணியாத மேகம்
The clock will run upside down,
Searching for what his history is.
He will disappear into the horizon without bowing down,
He is a cloud unbridled by a rein.
பல நிலவொளிகளில்
தலை குளித்திடும் போதும்
இவன் மனவெளிகளில்
கனவுகள் இல்லை ஏதும்
காணாமலே போனானடா
ஏனென்று கேட்காதே போடா
Even when bathing in moonlight multiple times,
In the open fields of his heart, there are no dreams.
He went missing, man!
Don't ask why, go away man!
{ வாய மூடி
சும்மா இருடா ரோட்ட

பார்வை ஒன்றில்
காதல் கொண்டா எந்தன்
நெஞ்செங்கும் நுண்பூகம்பம்
பேரே இல்லா பூவைக் கண்டா
எந்தன் வேரெங்கும் பேரானந்தம்
Did love bloom from a single glance?
A micro-earthquake shook throughout my heart!
Seeing a nameless flower,
Bliss spreads across my very roots!
என் தோற்றத்தில்
மாற்றம் காற்றெல்லாம்
வாசம் தானாக உண்டானதேனோ
A change in my appearance,
Fragrance filling the air,
Why did it happen automatically?
நீ வாழவென்று
என் உள்ளம் இன்று
தானாக ரெண்டானதேனோ
ஓயாமலே பெய்கின்றதே
என் வானில் ஏன் இந்தக் காதல்
So that you may live, why has my heart today
Split into two all by itself?
It rains relentlessly,
Why is this love in my sky?
{ வாய மூடி
சும்மா இருடா ரோட்ட

நாளை என்
காலை கீற்றே நீ தானே
கையில் தேநீரும் நீ தானடி
வாசல் பூவோடு பேசும் நம்
பிள்ளை கொள்ளும் இன்பங்கள்
நீ தானடி
Aren't you my morning light ray tomorrow?
Aren't you the tea in my hand, girl?
Our child talking to the flower at the doorstep,
Aren't you the blissful joy that captivates me?
கன்னம் சுருங்கிட
நீயும் மீசை நரைத்திட
நானும் வாழ்வின் கரைகளைக்
காணும் காலம் அருகினில் தானோ
As your cheeks wrinkle with age,
As my mustache turns grey,
Witnessing the shores of life,
Is time drawing near?
கண் மூடிடும்
அவ்வேளையும் உன்
கண்ணில் இன்பங்கள்
காண்பேன்
Even at the moment my eyes close forever,
I will see joy in your eyes.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Vaaya Moodi Summa Iru Da from the superhero film Mugamoodi (2012) features a clever contrast between pragmatic advice and romantic surrender. The hook line functions as a self-warning chorus, telling the protagonist to keep his head down, avoid distraction, and stay away from love, which is described as a confusing trap that leaves one blindfolded in a forest.
