| Venaa venaa vilunthiduvenaa | No, no, will I fall? |

| Eera vizhiyil idam unda | Is there a space in your moist, expressive eyes? |
| Kadavul boomi vanthaal | If God comes down to Earth, |

விஷ்லிங் :
...................................
No, no, will I fall?
If my eyes see you, will I be completely swept away?
You smile just once,
And you snatch away my life/soul.
வேணா வேணா
விழுந்திடுவேனா கண்கள்
கண்டால் கவுந்திடுவேனா
ஒரு முறை சிாிக்கிறாய்
ஏன் உயிாினை பறிக்கிறாய்
Both your eyes are atom bombs,
A flower tucked inside a sword!
Is there a sweet, blissful prison?
Is there a space in your moist, expressive eyes?
If God comes down to Earth,
He must look at your eyes.
Realizing how vulnerable human beings are,
He must flee in utter shock and fear!
கண்கள் ரெண்டும்
அணுகுண்டா கத்திக்குள்ள
பூச்செண்டா இன்பமான சிறை
உண்டா ஈர விழியில் இடம்
உண்டா கடவுள் பூமி வந்தால்
உன் கண்ணை பாா்க்க வேண்டும்
மனிதன் பாவம் என்று அவன்
மெரண்டு போக வேண்டும்
No, no, will I fall?
If my eyes see you, will I be completely swept away?
வேணா வேணா
விழுந்திடுவேனா கண்கள்
கண்டால் கவுந்திடுவேனா
Rivers that do not curve and bend
Can never truly be called rivers.
Anklets that do not jingle and chime
Will never sing beautiful melodies.
வளையாத நதிகளில்
எல்லாம் நதிகள் என்று ஆகாது
சிணுங்காத கொலுசுகள் எல்லாம்
சங்கீதங்கள் பாடாது
You made a pillow out of my lap,
Slowly approaching, you created turmoil in my heart.
மடியினில் தலையணை
செய்தாய் மெல்ல வந்து மனதினில்
கலவரம் செய்தாய்
In one eye, you committed violence,
And out of pity, you applied medicine with the other eye!
ஒரு கண்ணில்
வன்முறை செய்தாய்
பாவம் என்று மறு கண்ணில்
மருந்துகள் தந்தாய்
Oh captivating charmer, captivating charmer,
You must come every day to torment me.
You must break my bangled hands in embrace.
ஒஹோ வசீகரா
வசீகரா நீ வதம் செய்ய
நிதம் வர வேண்டும்
வலைக்கரம் உடைத்திட வேண்டும்
Shall I gently stroke your heart?
Shall I steal your heart away?
Shall I enter through your eyes?
Shall I forget my own path?
இதயம் வருடி
விடவா உன் இதயம்
திருடி விடவா விழியில்
நுழைந்து விடவா என்
வழியை மறந்து விடவா
No, no, will I fall?
If my eyes see you, will I be completely swept away?
வேணா வேணா
விழுந்திடுவேனா கண்கள்
கண்டால் கவுந்திடுவேனா
...............................
Oh dear, hitler-like girl,
What have you done to me?
Did you see how my hormones
Are playing harmoniums inside me?
அய்யய்யோ ஹிட்லா்
பெண்ணே என்னை என்ன
செய்தாயோ ஹாா்மோன்கள்
ஹாா்மோனியம்கள்
வாசிப்பதை கண்டாயோ
The January moon kills me,
Shamelessly reciting 'Jana Gana Mana' and marching away.
ஜனவாி நிலவென்னை
கொள்ளும் வெட்கமின்றி
ஜனகனமன சொல்லி செல்லும்
What is the message spoken
By your sharp, curious glances that even God would ramble about?
குறு குறு பாா்வைகள்
சொல்லும் சேதி என்ன கடவுளும்
புலம்புவான் இன்னும்
Oh round jasmine, round jasmine,
You became a silky butterfly resting upon it.
Touching me again and again, you left behind bombs!
ஓஹோ குண்டு
மல்லி குண்டு மல்லி
அதில் பட்டு பட்டு பட்டாம்பூச்சி
ஆனாய் தொட்டு தொட்டு குண்டு
வைத்து போனாய்
Lose yourself inside me,
And search for me within yourself.
If two souls exist as one,
Call that true love!
எனக்குள் உன்னை
தொலைத்து நீ உனக்குள்
என்னை தேடு இரண்டு
உயிா்கள் இருந்தால்
அது காதல் என்று கூறு
No, no, will I fall?
If my eyes see you, will I be completely swept away?
You smile just once,
And you snatch away my life/soul.
வேணா வேணா
விழுந்திடுவேனா கண்கள்
கண்டால் கவுந்திடுவேனா
ஒரு முறை சிாிக்கிறாய்
ஏன் உயிாினை பறிக்கிறாய்
Both your eyes are atom bombs,
A flower tucked inside a sword!
Is there a sweet, blissful prison?
Is there a space in your moist, expressive eyes?
If God comes down to Earth,
He must look at your eyes.
Realizing how vulnerable human beings are,
He must flee in utter shock and fear!
கண்கள் ரெண்டும்
அணுகுண்டா கத்திக்குள்ள

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Venaa Venaa' from the movie Vaseegara (2003) is a playful and romantic track that captures the intoxicating rush of falling in love. The song portrays a lover torn between resisting temptation and yielding completely to the mesmerizing charm of his beloved. Through vivid metaphors, the lyrics describe her lethal beauty—eyes like atom bombs, glances that play music on his hormones, and smiles that gently steal his soul away. The song highlights the push-and-pull dynamic of romance, blending lighthearted banter with intense passion. Pa. Vijay uses creative wordplay and imaginative imagery—such as comparing her strict yet allure-filled demeanor to a 'Hitler girl' and her eyes to violent weapons that simultaneously heal—to illustrate how love transforms life into a blissful, playful prison.
