வீசிய விசிறி பார்வையிலே
ஏ.....ஏ.....ஏ....
என்னை வேரோடு வெட்டி சாய்த்தவளே
சாய்த்தவளே.......சாய்த்தவளே
With your fan-like glance thrown at me,
Ae…ae….ae…
Oh girl who chopped me down from the roots,
Chopped me down… chopped me down,
வீசிய விசிறி பார்வையிலே
ஏ.....ஏ.....ஏ....
என்னை வேரோடு வெட்டி சாய்த்தவளே
சாய்த்தவளே.......சாய்த்தவளே
With your fan-like glance thrown at me,
Ae…ae….ae…
Oh girl who chopped me down from the roots,
Chopped me down… chopped me down,
தேசிய கீதம் கேட்டவன் போலே
போலே போலே போலே
என்னை அசையாமல் நிக்க வைத்தவளே
வைத்தவள்....
Like a person listening to the national anthem,
Like, like, like,
Oh girl who made me stand motionless,
Made me stand…
லேசாகி மெதக்குறேன்
தூசாகி பறக்குறேன்
அடி எனக்குள் நானே
தனக்கு தானே சிரிக்கிறேன்
I am floating lightly,
I am flying like dust,
Hey, inside myself,
I laugh to myself,
தானாக தெரிக்கிறேன்
தனியாக தவிக்கிறேன்
ஏய் அடி என்னை போல
உன்னை நானும் நினைக்கிறேன்
I break out on my own,
I suffer in solitude,
Hey, just like me,
I think of you as well,
என் நாடி நரம்பில்
வேதியல் மாற்றம்
ஓடும் ரத்தத்தில்
ஓகிப்புயல் சீற்றம்
In my pulse and nerves,
A chemical reaction occurs,
In the flowing blood,
Rages a giant storm,
யுத்தம் ஓர் யுத்தம்
இது காதல் யுத்தம்
சத்தம் ஓர் சத்தம்
இது இதயத்து சத்தம்
A war, oh a war,
This is a war of love,
A sound, oh a sound,
This is the sound of the heart,
கொத்தும் இது கொத்தும்
என் தேகம் மொத்தம்
உன்னை திட்டமிட்டு
வட்டம் போடுவேன்
It pecks, it pecks,
At my entire body,
Planning carefully,
I will circle around you,
வீசிய விசிறி பார்வையிலே...ஏ.....
என்னை வேரோடு வெட்டி சாய்த்தவளே
With your fan-like glance thrown at me,
Oh girl who chopped me down from the roots,
அழகிய புயல் ஒன்று
உண்டானது
என் அணுக்கள் ஒவ்வொன்றும்
ரெண்டானது
இருதய துடிப்பும்
மூன்றானது
நொடி நிமிடம் நாள் ஆகுது
A beautiful storm,
Has been created,
Every single cell of mine,
Has split into two,
And my heartbeat,
Has tripled,
Seconds turn into minutes and then into days,
கண்ணின் பார்வை தேவாமிர்தம்
காதல் ஓதும் ஐந்தாம் வேதம்
கண்ணே நீயும் பெண்ணே இல்லை
ஆறாம் பூதம்
The look in your eyes is divine nectar,
Love recited is the fifth Veda,
My dear, you are not merely a woman,
You are the sixth element,
தெரிஞ்சேதான் தொலையிறேன்
தெரியாம கரையுறேன்
நீ தேவை என்று
தேடி தேடி அலையிறேன்
Knowing full well, I get lost,
Without knowing, I dissolve,
Saying that you are needed,
I wander around searching and searching,
என் நாடி நரம்பில்
வேதியல் மாற்றம்
ஓடும் ரத்தத்தில்
ஓகிப்புயல் சீற்றம்
In my pulse and nerves,
A chemical reaction occurs,
In the flowing blood,
Rages a giant storm,
யுத்தம் ஓர் யுத்தம்
இது காதல் யுத்தம்
சத்தம் ஓர் சத்தம்
இது இதயத்து சத்தம்
A war, oh a war,
This is a war of love,
A sound, oh a sound,
This is the sound of the heart,
கொத்தும் இது கொத்தும்
என் தேகம் மொத்தம்
உன்னை திட்டமிட்டு
வட்டம் போடுவேன்
It pecks, it pecks,
At my entire body,
Planning carefully,
I will circle around you.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
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.
