உடலை உனதுடலை
நான் அடிமை செய்ய வந்தேனே
Your body, your physical form
I came to make it my slave
உயிரை எனதுயிரை
உன் இளமைக்கென்று தந்தேனே
My life, my very soul
I gave it away for your youth
பருவம் என்னும்
கடையில் என்னை அடகு
வைத்து சென்றாயே
In the shop called youth
You pawned me away and left
வெறி நீ கொண்டு
முத்ததாலே மூழ்கடித்து
கொன்றாயே
With a kiss filled with frenzy
You drowned and killed me
காதல் என்றும்
தும்மல் போல காமன்
என்றும் விக்கல் போல
தழுவ தழுவ இதயம்
நழுவியதே வைக்காதே
மை மை
Love is always like a sneeze
Desire is always like a hiccup
As we embrace and embrace, the heart
Slipped away; do not apply kohl!

இரவை நள்ளிரவை
உன் உரிமை என்று கொண்டாடு
The night, the midnight hour
Celebrate it as your right
அழகை உனதழகை
நீ அள்ளி தந்து திண்டாடு
Your beauty, your own grace
Give it freely and revel in it
புடவை எங்கும்
புதுமை செய்து பூப்பறித்து
கொண்டாயே
Everywhere on the saree
Creating novelties
You plucked the flower for yourself
உடை களைந்து
என்னில் உன்னை
ஒப்படைத்து நின்றாயே
Shedding clothes, within me
You stood surrendering yourself
மார்பு மீது
மெத்தை போடு
ரோம காலில் வித்தையாடு
விடிய விடிய விரதம்
முடிகிறதே வைப்பேனே
மை மை
Make a bed upon my chest
Play tricks with the fine hair on my skin
As dawn breaks, the fast breaks
I will apply kohl!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Vasiyakaari' from Pudhiya Geethai (2003) is a romantic duet expressing playful flirtation and intense physical attraction between two lovers. The male and female protagonists describe each other as enchanters who cast spells of attraction over one another, leading to feelings of burning passion, sweet pain, and emotional surrender. Through vivid metaphors comparing love and passion to spontaneous bodily reactions like sneezes and hiccups, the song highlights the irresistible pull of romance and intimacy.
