Un mugavari enna adiye…
I waited along the path of my gaze,
Why this delay, my moon?
The sleep on my pillow,
I have lost it,
There are no dreams left in my eyes.
In a patch of grass, you stood out,
All alone, like a single flowering plant.
I forgot all time and place,
For you are my whole world from now on.
Just like her,
Who else could be such sweet sorrow?
Up on a wall,
I have become like a cat sitting on a ledge.
In the diary of days I pass through,
You will stay like a peacock feather.
You smiled with the flutter of your eyelids,
And I was captured in your eyes.
Everything that happened that one day,
Won't it happen again?
Even though you are beside me,
Will this longing never be satisfied?
Even the white clouds on their own
Drizzle down just because of you.
With just its eyes, the fish
Stole the fishing hook away.
When I see you alone,
Where does the sky above my head vanish?
When you came and passed through my sight,
What words are there to explain it?
You became every direction I turn,
You became a sweet poison.
Through my thoughts, you became mine,
Inside my heart, you became music.
The lines on my palm
Are just scratches left by your hair.
I will never forget this as long as I live.
Hey, standing at a distance,
A butterfly circles around.
From the very moment I first saw you,
A pair of eyes has been plotting
To capture and tie me down.
Tell me, girl, what is your address?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

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.
