விரட்டாம
விரட்டுறியே நீ
தொரத்தாம தொரத்துறியே
தெருவெல்லாம் திரிஞ்சேனே
நான் உன்ன தேடி தொலைஞ்சேனடி
You chase me away without actually chasing me
You pursue me without actually pursuing me
I wandered through all the streets
Searching for you, I got lost, my dear
மிரட்டாம மிரட்டுறியே
நீ கடத்தாம கடத்துறியே
வெறப்பாக அலைஞ்சாலும்
உன் நெனப்பத்தான் அலைஞ்சேனடி
You threaten me without actually threatening me
You kidnap me without actually kidnapping me
Even if I wander around acting tough
It is your thoughts that I wandered with, my dear
நீ வேணும் நான்
வாழ நீ வேணும் கண்
மூட வருவேனே உயிர்
தருவேனே எனக்கு எல்லாம்
அடியே இனி நீதானே
I need you to live
I need you to close my eyes in peace
I will come and give my very life
You are my everything, my dear
From now on, it is only you

I need you to live
I need you to close my eyes in peace
I will come and give my very life
You are my everything, my dear
From now on, it is only you
Only you...
அடங்க ஏக்கம்
என்னை தாக்கும்போது
அடி நெஞ்சில் இடி மின்னல்
ஆச்சே தொடங்க காதல்
தொடங்க முகவரிய
தந்தேனே என் தூக்கம்
போச்சே
When uncontrollable longing
Strikes and attacks me
Thunder and lightning struck deep inside my heart
To begin this love
To begin an address for my life
I gave it, and my sleep was gone
எந்தன் விரல்
நீங்கி எங்கேயும் போகாதே
நீ உன் பார்வையாலே
மெல்ல எரிக்கிறாயே
Leaving away from my fingers
Do not go anywhere
With your gentle gaze
You burn me slowly
நீ வேணும் நான்
வாழ நீ வேணும் கண்
மூட வருவேனே உயிர்
தருவேனே எனக்கு எல்லாம்
அடியே இனி நீதானே நீதானே
I need you to live
I need you to close my eyes in peace
I will come and give my very life
You are my everything, my dear
From now on, it is only you
Only you...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song is a passionate and playful romantic track expressing deep love, longing, and endearing affection between lovers. The protagonist describes how their lover exerts a subtle yet overwhelming hold on their heart—chasing, threatening, and kidnapping their thoughts without any physical action. They admit that despite putting up a tough exterior, their mind is completely consumed by thoughts of their partner. The repeated chorus emphasizes that the lover is essential for their survival, sleep, and peace, pledging complete devotion and willingness to give up life itself for the relationship.
