With the breeze of your fluttering glance
Yeah... yeah... yeah...
You chopped me down from the roots, girl
Brought me down... brought me down
With the breeze of your fluttering glance
Yeah... yeah... yeah...
You chopped me down from the roots, girl
Brought me down... brought me down
Like someone hearing the national anthem
Just like that, like that, like that
You made me stand frozen in place
The girl who did...
Feeling weightless, I float
Like a speck of dust, I fly
Oh girl, deep inside myself
I laugh all by myself
I burst and scatter on my own
I yearn and struggle all alone
Hey girl, just like you are a part of me
I keep thinking of you
In my veins and pulse
There is a chemical change
In my rushing blood
The fury of Cyclone Ockhi
A battle, an all-out battle
This is a battle of love
A sound, a beating sound
This is the sound of my heart
It strikes and stings
All across my body
With a careful plan
I will circle around you
With the breeze of your fluttering glance... yeah...
You chopped me down from the roots, girl
A beautiful storm
Has formed within me
Every single cell of mine
Has split into two
And my heartbeat
Has tripled its pace
Seconds and minutes stretch into days
The look in your eyes is sweet nectar
Teaching love, the fifth Veda
My darling, you are no ordinary woman
You are the sixth element of nature
Knowing full well, I lose myself
Without even realizing, I melt away
Knowing that I need you
I wander searching everywhere for you
In my veins and pulse
There is a chemical change
In my rushing blood
The fury of Cyclone Ockhi
A battle, an all-out battle
This is a battle of love
A sound, a beating sound
This is the sound of my heart
It strikes and stings
All across my body
With a careful plan
I will circle around you

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song from 'Aruvam' captures the intense, overwhelming emotions of a protagonist head-over-heels in love. The lyrics describe how a simple glance from the beloved disrupts his entire world, making him stand rooted to the spot like someone listening attentively to the national anthem. He experiences a swirl of feelings—lightness, isolation, physiological surges, and intense excitement—as love fundamentally transforms his mind and body. Using vivid imagery ranging from modern science (cellular division and chemical reactions in the nerves) to cosmic concepts (calling love the fifth Veda and the woman a sixth element), the protagonist expresses how love dominates his thoughts and actions, driving him to constantly search for and adore his beloved.
