வெள்ளைகார முத்தம்
என் தேகம் எங்கும்
கொட்டி கொட்டி தந்தான்
A fair-skinned lover's kiss
All over my body
He showered and gave in abundance
A fair-skinned lover's kiss
All over my body
He showered and gave in abundance
He plundered my soul completely
வெள்ளைகார முத்தம்
என் தேகம் எங்கும்
கொட்டி கொட்டி தந்தான்
On the crown of my head
In his loving, peck kiss
Many stars scatter before my eyes
In the kiss he gave at that very spot
Suns shatter within me
உயிர் கொள்ளை கொண்டான்
உச்சந்தலையில்...
அவன் இச்சு முத்தத்தில்
பல நட்சத்திரம் சிதறுது கண்ணில்
அந்த இடத்தில்
அவன் தந்த முத்தத்தில்
சூரியன்கள் எனக்குள்ளே உடைந்திட
A fair-skinned lover's kiss
All over my body
He showered and gave in abundance
{வெள்ளைகார முத்தம்
என் தேகம் எங்கும்
கொட்டி கொட்டி தந்தான்} (2)
I died bit by bit in ecstasy
I attained ultimate salvation
At the very roots of my cellular level
I saw honey dripping
கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சம் செத்தேன்
கொள்ளை மோச்சம் கொண்டேன்
செல்களின் வேர்கள்
தேன் சொட்ட கண்டேன்
Ohooo, losing oneself here
I realized it to be pure bliss
That losses are actually gains
I discovered such mathematics
ஆ...இழப்பிது இங்கே இன்பம்
என்று கொண்டேன்
நஷ்டங்கள் லாபம் என்னும்
கணிதங்கள் கண்டேன்
I found total fulfillment in giving
When youth arrived
I unfurled and blossomed
In the bedchamber, I blossomed once again
குடைகடியில்.....நிறைந்து விட்டேன்
பருவம் வந்ததும் குடைந்து மலர்ந்தேன்
பள்ளியறையில் மறுபடி மலர்ந்தேன்
A fair-skinned lover's kiss
All over my body
He showered and gave in abundance
A fair-skinned lover's kiss
All over my body
He showered and gave in abundance
He plundered my soul completely
வெள்ளைகார முத்தம்
தனன தனனனன
என் தேகம் எங்கும்
கொட்டி கொட்டி தந்தான்
தனன தனனனன
...
வெள்ளைகார முத்தம்
என் தேகம் எங்கும்
கொட்டி கொட்டி தந்தான்
With passion he stitched me whole
He made me gasp for breath
Where the soul resides inside the body
He located that exact spot and touched it
உயிர் கொள்ளை கொண்டான்

He clicked his tongue and broke my defenses
I lay scattered, and he gathered me up

Thanna naana nana
All over my body
Thanna naana nanaa
தனன தனனனன
தனன தனனனன
A fair-skinned lover's kiss
All over my body
He showered and gave in abundance
He plundered my soul completely
மோகம் கொண்டு தைத்தான்
மூச்சு முட்ட வைத்தான்
உடம்புக்குள் உயிருள்ள
இடம் கண்டு தொட்டான்.....
On the crown of my head
In his loving, peck kiss
Many stars scatter before my eyes
In the kiss he gave at that very spot
Suns shatter within me
கட்டில்காடு கண்டான்
கண்ணில் விட்டு கொண்டான்
என் உயிர் மட்டும் விட்டு விட்டு
ஒவ்வொன்றாக சுட்டான்
உச்சுகொட்டியே.....ஏ....
உடைந்து விட்டான்......
சிதறி கிடந்தேன் சேர்த்து எடுத்தான்
லயித்து கிடந்தேன்
இலட்சியத்தை முடித்தான்
தன்ன னானன் நானா
என் தேகம் எங்கும்
தன்ன னானன் நானா
வெள்ளைகார முத்தம்
என் தேகம் எங்கும்
கொட்டி கொட்டி தந்தான்
உயிர் கொள்ளை கொண்டான்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from the film 'Chellamae' (2004) expresses the overwhelming sensory and emotional experience of intimate love. The female protagonist describes the touch and kiss of her lover ('Vellaikaara mutham') as a transformative event that shatters her senses, scattering stars before her eyes and bursting suns inside her soul. She metaphorically portrays intimacy as a paradoxical state where losing oneself leads to supreme bliss and yielding completely feels like ultimate gain.
