இதயம் அது இடப்புறம் இல்ல
அது நகர்ந்து கொண்டு வலப்புறம் செல்ல
எனக்குள் என்ன நடந்தது மெல்ல
உனக்கு மட்டுமே தெரியுமே புள்ள
My heart is not on the left side today
It is moving towards the right side
What happened inside me slowly
Only you know that, my girl
வெரிச்சு வெரிச்சு நீ பாக்குற போது
சிரிச்சு சிரிச்சு நீ பூக்குற போது
கரந்த பாலு போல
நொரைச்சேன் காதலாலா
When you stare continuously at me
When you bloom with continuous smiles
Like freshly milked warm milk
I frothed up with love
சுழண்டு சுழண்டு நீ ஓடுற போது
ஒழண்டு ஒழண்டு நீ தேடுற போது
பருத்தி பஞ்சு போல
அட பறக்கும் நெஞ்சு மேல
When you run around in circles
When you search around endlessly
Like soft cotton wool
Oh, my heart floats up high
உண்டிவில்லு கல்லென மாத்தி
சுண்டிவிட்டு செல்லுற ஆத்தி
அரிசி பான எறும்பு போல
நீ தின்னடி என்ன
Turning into a catapult stone
Firing it and leaving, oh my god!
Like ants inside a rice pot
Devour me, my girl
வெரிச்சு வெரிச்சு நீ பாக்குற போது
சிரிச்சு சிரிச்சு நீ பூக்குற போது
கரந்த பாலு போல
நொரைச்சேன் காதலாலா
When you stare continuously at me
When you bloom with continuous smiles
Like freshly milked warm milk
I frothed up with love
...............
...
சுண்ணாம்பில் பல் தேச்சி
நாக்கு சிவந்தேனே
ஆண் : மம்பட்டியால நான்
மீசை செரச்சேனே
Brushing teeth with lime powder
My tongue turned red
Male: With a garden hoe, I
Shaved off my mustache
கொப்புரானே இப்பத்தானே
சக்கரைப் பந்தலில்
பூண்டுடன் இஞ்சியும் சேர்த்தேனே
Oh tall tower, only now
Under the sweet sugar canopy
I mixed garlic along with ginger
வீட்டின் உள்ளே பட்டம் விட்டேனே
சட்டை மேல பனியன போட்டேனே
I flew a kite inside the house
I wore my undershirt over my shirt
கலகம் மூட்டிய கள்ளனே உன்னால்
திலகம் நீட்டிய திலகனே உன்னால்
கிறங்கி போகுறேனே
ஹ கிறுக்கி ஆகுறேனே
Oh thief who started a quarrel, because of you
Oh beloved who applied the tilak, because of you
I am getting dizzy
Huh, I am turning crazy
.................
...
உன்னோட பந்தக்கால்
நாணாய் இருப்பேனே
உன்னோட சொந்தத்தில்
என்ன கரைப்பேனே
The ceremonial pole for your wedding canopy
I will become that
I will dissolve myself in your bond
Like the braids inside a hair bun
With deep affection, you
I will interweave you in my heart
கொண்டக்குள்ள பின்னல் போல
அன்புல உன்னையும்
நெஞ்சுல பின்னியும் வைப்பேனே
Who else is a couple like us here?
Merged as one, we will live for a hundred years
நம் போல் ஜோடி இங்கே யாருண்டு
ஒன்றில் ஒன்றாய் வாழ்வோம் நூறாண்டு
When you stare continuously at me
When you bloom with continuous smiles
Like freshly milked warm milk
I frothed up with love
வெரிச்சு வெரிச்சு நீ பாக்குற போது
சிரிச்சு சிரிச்சு நீ பூக்குற போது
கரந்த பாலு போல
நொரைச்சேன் காதலாலா
You claimed earlier that you were vegetarian
Yet slowly, you devoured me whole
Was it spicy, salty, or sweet?
சைவமுன்னு சொன்னியே முன்ன
மெல்ல மெல்ல திண்ணியே என்ன
ஓரச்சனா கரிச்சனா ..ஹே ..இனிச்சனா
Hahaha...
ஹாஹாஹா .....
Idhayam indru idappuram illa
My heart is not on the left side today
Adhu nagarndhu kondu valappuram sella
It is moving towards the right side
Enakkul enna nadandhadhu mella
What happened inside me slowly
Adhu unakku mattumae theriyumae pulla
Only you know that, my girl
Verichu verichu nee paakkura podhu
When you stare continuously at me
Sirichu sirichu nee pookkura podhu
When you bloom with continuous smiles
Karandha paalu pola
Like freshly milked warm milk
Noraichen kaadhalaala

Ozhandu ozhandu nee thedura podhu
When you search around endlessly
Paruthhi panju pola
Like soft cotton wool
Ada parakkum nenju mela
Oh, my heart floats up high
Gundivillu kallana maathi
Turning into a catapult stone
Sundivittu sellura aathi
Firing it and leaving, oh my god!
Arisi paana erumba pola
Like ants inside a rice pot
Thinnudi enna
Devour me, my girl
Verichu verichu nee paakkura podhu
When you stare continuously at me
Sirichu sirichu nee pookkura podhu
When you bloom with continuous smiles

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful and romantic folk-pop duet from the film Thilagar depicts the humorous madness and delight of falling in love. The lovers describe how love has turned their logic upside down, causing them to do silly things like flying kites inside the house, wearing undershirts over shirts, or feeling like their heart has shifted from the left side to the right.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Adukkuthodar (Reduplication / Repetition)
“Verichu verichu nee paakkura podhu”
Phrases like 'Verichu verichu', 'Sirichu sirichu', and 'Sozhandu sozhandu' repeat words to emphasize the intensity and continuous nature of actions like staring, smiling, and spinning.
Upamai (Simile)
“Karandha paalu pola”
Comparing love welling up in the heart to freshly milked warm milk frothing up in a pail ('Karandha paalu pola / Noraichen kaadhalaala').
Edhugai (Second-letter Rhyme)
“Gundivillu kallana maathi / Sundivittu sellura aathi”
The second letters 'nd' match in 'Gundivillu' and 'Sundivittu', creating a rhythmic cadence popular in Tamil folk lyrics.
Metaphor / Irony
“Saivamunnu sonniyae munna / Mella mella thinniyae enna”
A humorous folk metaphor where the singer teases that the lover claimed to be vegetarian ('Saivam') yet devoured him completely out of love.

Trivia
The song is composed by Kannan (well-known for Tamizh Padam) and features quirky rural lyricism by Sarathy. Sung by Haricharan and Swetha Mohan, it uses folk humor and deliberate nonsense imagery (like shaving a mustache with a hoe or brushing teeth with lime) to portray love-induced intoxication.
