Why have I become someone else today?
இதுவலி இல்லா

Is this a painless
Sickness? Sickness?
Who gave this to me?
Is it you? Is it you?
நடந்ததை
நினைப்பதே தனி
நினைப்பதும் நடக்குமா
இனி உன் கைவிரலில்
என் கைவிரல்கள்
ஒன்றாக தீண்டும்போது
சாரலாகி ஹே
Cherishing memories of what happened is a unique joy
Will what I dream of happen from now on?
When my fingers touch your fingers
When they touch together, it feels like a gentle drizzle

இழப்பதும்
காதலில் சுகம்
தொலைகிறேன்
உன்னிடம் தினம்
என் யோசனையில்
உன் வாசனையை
நீவந்து தூவி தூவி
தாவிபோகிறாய்
Even losing in love brings pure bliss
I keep losing myself to you every day
In my thoughts... your fragrance
You come and sprinkle it over and over
And leap away...

The English verses seek constant presence and emotional assurance, while the Tamil verses express profound romantic devotion.

Poetic devices
Monai (Initial Rhyme / Alliteration)
“Unnaalae azhaganen / Un arugae pen aanen”
Repetition of the initial letter 'U' ('Unnaalae' and 'Un') across consecutive lines creates rhythmic harmony.
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Noiyoo noiyoo / Neeyoo neeyoo”
Matching end sounds ('noiyoo' and 'neeyoo') add a musical and poetic cadence to the stanza.
Muran (Oxymoron / Contrast)
“Enai thotrenae... / Unai vendrenae...”
Contrasts the idea of losing oneself ('thotrenae') with winning the beloved ('vendrenae'), highlighting the joyful paradox of surrender in love.
Metaphor
“Idhu valiyillaa noiyoo noiyoo”
Love is poetically metaphorized as a painless disease.
