|---|---|
| Male | |
| Iruvizhi padhayil kaththirunthen | I waited on the path of my two eyes |
| Indha thamadham eano nilave | Why this delay, my moon? |
| Thalaiyanai thookaththai | My pillow sleep |
| Naan tholaiththen | I have lost |
| En kangalil illai kanave | There are no dreams in my eyes |
| Male | |
| Pullveli koottatthil nee therindhai | In the crowd on the lawn, you appeared |
| Oru poochchedi pole thaniye | Like a flowering plant, standing alone |
| Idam porul yavume marandhuvitten | I forgot the place and context entirely |
| Nee endhan ulagam iniye | You are my world from now on |
| Male | |
| Ival pole | Like her |
| Oru inba thunbamo yaro | Who is this sweet sorrow? |
| Madhil mele | On top of the wall |
| Oru poonai aagiren nano | I become a cat |
| Naan kadanthu pogum natkurippil | In the diary of my passing days |
| Mayilin iragai nee iruppai | You will remain like a peacock feather |
| Imayin ldhazhal nee siriththai | You smiled with the petals of your eyelids |
| Kannil kaidhanen | I became a prisoner in your eyes |
| Male | |
| Oru naal nadanthadhellam | Everything that happened one day |
| Meendum varadho | Will it not return again? |
| Aruge nee irundhum | Even though you are nearby |
| Aasai theeradho | Will my desire never be satisfied? |
| Male | |
| Vennira megamum thannale | Even the white cloud, on its own |
| Thooralai pozhiyudhu unnaale | Pours a drizzle because of you |
| Meengal kannale thoondilai | With fish-like eyes as a hook |
| Thirudiponnale | She stole me and went away |
| Male | |
| Thaniye unnaikkanum bodhu | When seeing you alone |
| Thalaimel andha vanam yedhu | Where is that sky above my head? |
| Vizhiyil vandhu ponapothu | When you come and go in my vision |
| Vilakkam solla varthai yedhu | What words are there to explain it? |
| Male | |
| Thirumbum ella dhisaiyanaai | You became every direction I turn |
| Thiththikkindra vishamanaai | You became a sweet poison |
| Ninaival endhan vasamanaai | Through memory, you became mine |
| Nenjikkulle isaiyanaai | Inside my heart, you became music |
| Male | |
| En kai regaiye | The lines on my palm |
| Un koondhal keeralgal thane | Are just scratches from your hair |
| Maravene uyir vazhum naalvarai | I will not forget until the day I live |
| Male | |
| Hey etta ninnu | Hey, standing at a distance |
| Pattampuchchi vattam podudhe | A butterfly circles around |
| Unnai mudhal mudhal partha nodiye | The very moment I saw you for the first time |
| Retta kannu kattipoda | To bind me with two eyes |
| Kattam kattudhe | She plots a scheme |
| Un mugavari enna adiye… | What is your address, girl? |
பாடல் ஆசிரியர் : கபிலன்
I waited on the path of my two eyes
Why this delay, my moon?
My pillow sleep
I have lost
There are no dreams in my eyes
இருவிழி பாதையில் காத்திருந்தேன்
இந்தத்தாமதம் ஏனோ நிலவே
தலையணை தூக்கத்தை நான் தொலைத்தேன்
என் கண்களில் இல்லை கனவே
In the crowd on the lawn, you appeared
Like a flowering plant, standing alone
I forgot the place and context entirely
You are my world from now on
புல்வெளி கூட்டத்தில் நீ தெரிந்தாய்
ஒரு பூச்செடி போலே தனியே
இட்ஸம் பொருள் யாவுமே மறந்து விட்டேன்
நீ எந்தன் உலகம் இனியே
Like her
Who is this sweet sorrow?
On top of the wall
I become a cat
In the diary of my passing days
You will remain like a peacock feather
You smiled with the petals of your eyelids
I became a prisoner in your eyes
இவள் போலே
ஒரு இன்பம் துன்பம் யாரோ
மதில் மேலே
ஒரு பூனை ஆகிறேன் நானோ
மயிலின் இறகாய் நீ இருப்பாய்
இமையின் இதழ்கள் நீ சிரித்தாய்
கண்ணில் கைதானேன்
Everything that happened one day
Will it not return again?
Even though you are nearby
Will my desire never be satisfied?
ஒரு நாள் நடந்ததெல்லாம்
மீண்டும் வாராதோ
அருகே நீ இருந்தும்
ஆசை தீராதோ
Even the white cloud, on its own
Pours a drizzle because of you
With fish-like eyes as a hook
She stole me and went away
வெண்ணிற மேகமும் தன்னாலே
தூறலை பொழியுது உன்னாலே
மீன்கள் கண்ணாலே தூண்டிலை
திருடிப்போனாளே
When seeing you alone
Where is that sky above my head?
When you come and go in my vision
What words are there to explain it?
தனியே உன்னை காணும் போது
தலைமேல் அந்த வானம் எது
விழியில் வந்து போன போது
விளக்கம் சொல்ல வார்த்தை ஏது
You became every direction I turn
You became a sweet poison
Through memory, you became mine
Inside my heart, you became music
திரும்பும் எல்லா திசை ஆனாய்
தித்திக்கின்ற விஷம் ஆனாய்
நினைவால் எந்தன் வசம் ஆனாய்
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே இசை ஆனாய்
The lines on my palm
Are just scratches from your hair
I will not forget until the day I live
என் கை ரேகையே
உன் கூந்தல் கீறல்கள் தானே
மறவேனே உயிர்வாழும் நாள் வரை
Hey, standing at a distance
A butterfly circles around
The very moment I saw you for the first time
To bind me with two eyes
She plots a scheme
What is your address, girl?
ஹே எட்ட நின்னு பட்டாம்பூச்சி
வட்டம் போடுதே
உன்னை முதல் முதல் பார்த்த நொடியே
ரெட்ட கண்ணு கட்டிப்போட
கட்டம் கட்டுதே
உன் முகவரி என்ன அடியே
Iruvizhi padhayil kaththirunthen
I waited on the path of my two eyes
Indha thamadham eano nilave
Why this delay, my moon?
Thalaiyanai thookaththai
My pillow sleep
Naan tholaiththen
I have lost
En kangalil illai kanave
There are no dreams in my eyes
Pullveli koottatthil nee therindhai
In the crowd on the lawn, you appeared
Oru poochchedi pole thaniye
Like a flowering plant, standing alone
Idam porul yavume marandhuvitten
I forgot the place and context entirely
Nee endhan ulagam iniye
You are my world from now on
Ival pole
Like her
Oru inba thunbamo yaro
Who is this sweet sorrow?
Madhil mele
On top of the wall
Oru poonai aagiren nano
I become a cat
Naan kadanthu pogum natkurippil
In the diary of my passing days
Mayilin iragai nee iruppai
You will remain like a peacock feather
Imayin ldhazhal nee siriththai
You smiled with the petals of your eyelids
Kannil kaidhanen
I became a prisoner in your eyes
Oru naal nadanthadhellam
Everything that happened one day
Meendum varadho
Will it not return again?
Aruge nee irundhum
Even though you are nearby
Aasai theeradho
Will my desire never be satisfied?
Vennira megamum thannale
Even the white cloud, on its own
Thooralai pozhiyudhu unnaale
Pours a drizzle because of you
Meengal kannale thoondilai
With fish-like eyes as a hook
Thirudiponnale
She stole me and went away
Thaniye unnaikkanum bodhu
When seeing you alone
Thalaimel andha vanam yedhu
Where is that sky above my head?
Vizhiyil vandhu ponapothu
When you come and go in my vision
Vilakkam solla varthai yedhu
What words are there to explain it?
Thirumbum ella dhisaiyanaai
You became every direction I turn
Thiththikkindra vishamanaai
You became a sweet poison
Ninaival endhan vasamanaai
Through memory, you became mine
Nenjikkulle isaiyanaai
Inside my heart, you became music
En kai regaiye
The lines on my palm
Un koondhal keeralgal thane
Are just scratches from your hair
Maravene uyir vazhum naalvarai
I will not forget until the day I live
Hey etta ninnu
Hey, standing at a distance
Pattampuchchi vattam podudhe
A butterfly circles around
Unnai mudhal mudhal partha nodiye
The very moment I saw you for the first time
Retta kannu kattipoda
To bind me with two eyes
Kattam kattudhe
She plots a scheme
Un mugavari enna adiye…
What is your address, girl?
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This track from the 2024 film Star portrays a protagonist captivated by the intoxicating feelings of first love and deep romantic admiration. He describes how his beloved's presence disrupts his daily routine—stealing his sleep, filling his mind, and turning his ordinary life into a realm of poetic wonders. Through vivid imagery of peacock feathers in diaries, sweet poison, and palm lines formed by hair, he details how completely she occupies his heart and mind.
