You intertwined into the melody of the bamboo flute,
My beloved!
I lay softly swooning,
My intoxication!
வேங்குழலில் இழைந்தாயடி
என் காதயே!
மென்மயங்கி கிடந்தேனடி
என் போதையே!
With eyes that slice like a sharp spear,
You struck me with both of them.
With the cloth bound tightly across your chest,
You made me your captive.
The world is an illusion, my girl,
Dreams are the truth, my girl!
Shall we live in those dreams, O flowery maiden?
வேல் என்றருத்திடும் விழிகள்
இரண்டில் நீ தாக்கினாய்
உந்தன் மார்பை இருக்கிடும் துணியால்
என்னை நீ கைதாக்கினாய்
உலகே பொய்யடி
கனவே மெய்யடி
அதில் வாழ்வோமா பூங்கோதயே!...ஹோ
You intertwined into the melody of the bamboo flute,
My beloved!
I lay softly swooning,
My intoxication!

துரும்பென இளைத்திவள் உருமாற
விருந்தாக எனை பறிமாற
கருங்கணி சுவையினில் உயிர் ஊற
துரந்தேனே நாணம் வெறியேற
Why am I sleepless?
Will I transform into your very life?
Can you endure this sweet pain, O flowery maiden?
நீ இன்னும் இன்னும் இன்னும் இன்னும் வேண்டுமே

ஏ உனை இடையனி என பூண்டுவேண்
நீ இறங்கிட இருதயம் தூண்டுமே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This sensual and evocative romantic song depicts an intense exchange of passion and emotional surrender between two lovers. The male lover describes how his beloved's presence intoxicates him like soft music from a flute, comparing her piercing gaze to spears and her physical embrace to a sweet captivity. Overwhelmed by their deep bond, he dismisses the material world as false, choosing instead to live within the absolute reality of their shared romantic dreams. The female lover responds with equal fervor, describing her total abandonment of bashfulness as she surrenders to desire. Together, their expressions blend themes of passion, sleepless longing, physical closeness, and spiritual union.
