| {Verasa pogayilae..puthusa poravalae | As I go swiftly.. oh girl who is reborn anew |
| Ithu varaiyila kulir edukala pennaala | Until now, I never felt cold because of a woman |
| Ava sirichathum thala oraiyuthu thannaala | When she smiled, my head froze on its own |
| En pechu moochu enga kaanaala} (2) | Where have my speech and breath disappeared? |
| Male | |
| Ithu naana enna..palasu ellam enga | Is this really me? Where did my old self go? |
| Pudhu sandhegangal undaaguthu | New doubts are arising within me |
| Idhu thindaatama..illa thullaatama | Is this a struggle, or is it joy? |
| Manna vittu rendu kaal thaavuthu | Both my feet are leaping off the ground |
| Eppothum naan pogum paadhai idhu | This is the path I always travel |
| Ippothu nirkaamal yen neeluthu | Why does it stretch endlessly without stopping now? |
| En ullam lesaaga kai neeluthu | My heart gently reaches out its hands |

| Nalla kachithama..enna pichu summa | Very neatly, tearing me apart just like that |
| Thachu sekurathu un velaya | Is it your job to stitch and join me together? |
| Suttu vattarathil thantha pattam ellam | All the titles given to me in the surrounding area |
| Ippa nool aruntha kaathaadiya | Have now become like a kite with a severed string |
| Nethoda nee vera naa veraya | Were you different and was I different until yesterday? |
| Eppo nee en nenjin mer kooraiya | When did you become the shelter over my heart? |
| Ennullae nee paadhi naan meedhiya | Within me, you are half and I am the rest |

{ வெரசா போகையில
புதுசா போறவளே இதுவரையில
குளிா் எடுக்கல பெண்ணால
அவ சிாிச்சதும் தல உறையுது
தன்னால என் பேச்சு மூச்சு எங்க காணல… } (2)
As I go swiftly.. oh girl who is reborn anew
Until now, I never felt cold because of a woman
When she smiled, my head froze on its own
Where have my speech and breath disappeared?
இது நானா என்ன
பழசு எல்லாம் எங்க புது
சந்தேகங்கள் உண்டாகுது
இது திண்டாட்டமா இல்ல துள்ளாட்டமா
மண்ண விட்டு ரெண்டு கால் தாவுது
எப்போதும் நான் போகும் பாதை இது
இப்போது நிற்காமல் ஏன் நீளுது
என்னுள்ளம் லேசாக கைநீளுது
வெரசா போகையில
புதுசா போறவளே
Is this really me? Where did my old self go?
New doubts are arising within me
Is this a struggle, or is it joy?
Both my feet are leaping off the ground
This is the path I always travel
Why does it stretch endlessly without stopping now?
My heart gently reaches out its hands
As I go swiftly.. oh girl who is reborn anew
நல்ல கச்சிதமா
என்ன பிச்சி சும்மா
தைச்சி சோ்க்குறது
உன் வேலையா…
சுற்று வட்டாரத்தில்
தந்த பட்டமெல்லாம்
இப்ப நூல் அறுந்த காத்தாடியா
நேத்தோட நீ வேற நான் வேறையா
இப்போ நீ என் நெஞ்சின்மேற்கூரையா
என்னுள்ளே நீ பாதி நான் மீதியா
Very neatly, tearing me apart just like that
Is it your job to stitch and join me together?
All the titles given to me in the surrounding area
Have now become like a kite with a severed string
Were you different and was I different until yesterday?
When did you become the shelter over my heart?
Within me, you are half and I am the rest
வெரசா போகையில
புதுசா போறவளே இதுவரையில
குளிா் எடுக்கல பெண்ணால
அவ சிாிச்சதும் தல உறையுது
தன்னால என் பேச்சு மூச்சு எங்க காணல
As I go swiftly.. oh girl who is reborn anew
Until now, I never felt cold because of a woman
When she smiled, my head froze on its own
Where have my speech and breath disappeared?
{Verasa pogayilae..puthusa poravalae
As I go swiftly.. oh girl who is reborn anew
Ithu varaiyila kulir edukala pennaala
Until now, I never felt cold because of a woman
Ava sirichathum thala oraiyuthu thannaala
When she smiled, my head froze on its own
En pechu moochu enga kaanaala} (2)
Where have my speech and breath disappeared?
Ithu naana enna..palasu ellam enga
Is this really me? Where did my old self go?
Pudhu sandhegangal undaaguthu
New doubts are arising within me
Idhu thindaatama..illa thullaatama
Is this a struggle, or is it joy?
Manna vittu rendu kaal thaavuthu
Both my feet are leaping off the ground
Eppothum naan pogum paadhai idhu
This is the path I always travel
Ippothu nirkaamal yen neeluthu
Why does it stretch endlessly without stopping now?
En ullam lesaaga kai neeluthu
My heart gently reaches out its hands
Verasa pogaiyilae..puthusa poravalae
As I go swiftly.. oh girl who is reborn anew
Nalla kachithama..enna pichu summa
Very neatly, tearing me apart just like that
Thachu sekurathu un velaya
Is it your job to stitch and join me together?
Suttu vattarathil thantha pattam ellam
All the titles given to me in the surrounding area
Ippa nool aruntha kaathaadiya
Have now become like a kite with a severed string
Nethoda nee vera naa veraya
Were you different and was I different until yesterday?
Eppo nee en nenjin mer kooraiya
When did you become the shelter over my heart?
Ennullae nee paadhi naan meedhiya
Within me, you are half and I am the rest
Verasa pogayilae..puthusa poravalae
As I go swiftly.. oh girl who is reborn anew
Ithu varaiyila kulir edukala pennaala
Until now, I never felt cold because of a woman
Ava sirichathum thala oraiyuthu thannaala
When she smiled, my head froze on its own
En pechu moochu enga kaanaalaaaaaa..
Where have my speech and breath disappeared?

Song interpretation
Verasa Pogayilae is a expressive romantic song from the movie Jilla, capturing the overwhelming emotions and disorientation experienced when falling deeply in love. The protagonist reflects on how a woman's smile and presence have transformed his world, making his past identity vanish and leaving him feeling weightless and breathless.
