யார் இவனோ
எந்தன் மௌனம் கலைத்தான்
யார் இவனோ
என்னுள் காதல் விதைதான்
யார் இவனோ
இன்னும் என்னென்ன செய்வான்
புரியாமல் தவித்தேன்
Who is he, my
silence he shattered,
Who is he, within me
love he planted as a seed,
Who is he, what else
will he do to me,
I struggled, unable to understand.
ஹே ஹே ஹே....
Hey hey hey hey hey hey…
முதல் பார்வை காதலை
இதய கூட்டில் தேக்கினேன்
அதன் பாரம் தாங்கியே
நகர நாட்கள் போக்கினேன்
Love at first sight,
I gathered inside the cage of my heart.
Bearing its heavy weight,
I spent days dragging myself along.
உன்னை காணும் போதுதான்
உயிரின் தேவை காண்கிறேன்
உன்னை நீங்கும் போதுதான்
நினைவே தேவை என்கிறேன்
Only when I see you,
I realize the need for life.
Only when I part from you,
I say memory is all I need... yeah
யார் இவனோ யார் இவனோ
பகலில் வந்தானே
எந்தன் இமைகளிலே மயிலிறகால்
தொட்டு சென்றானே
Who is he, who is he,
he came during the day,
upon my eyelids,
touched gently with a peacock feather and left.
Who is he, who is he,
he came in the night,
into my eyes,
planted dreams and left.
யார் இவனோ யார் இவனோ
இரவில் வந்தானே
எந்தன் விழிகளிலே கனவுகளை
நட்டு சென்றானே
Who is he, my
silence he shattered,
Who is he, within me
love he planted as a seed,
Who is he, what else
will he do to me,
I struggled, unable to understand.
யார் இவனோ
எந்தன் மௌனம் கலைத்தான்
யார் இவனோ
என்னுள் காதல் விதைதான்
யார் இவனோ
இன்னும் என்னென்ன செய்வான்
புரியாமல் தவித்தேன்
.........................
Touching me without my knowing,
he gets an intoxication.
On the pretext of losing balance,
he bumps into me and goes.
தெரியாமல் எனை தீண்டி
ஒரு போதை கொள்கின்றான்
தடுமாறும் ஒரு சாக்கில்
எனை முட்டி செல்கின்றான்
Improper stories,
mischievously he tells me.
Did she enjoy it or did she glare at me?
thinking so, he looks at me and goes.
முறையில்ல கதை எல்லாம்
குறும்பாக சொல்கின்றான்
ரசித்தேனா முறைத்தேனா
என பார்த்து செல்கின்றான்
Oh girl wearing a fake disguise,
shatter your veil/mask.
Before this night fades away,
fall into my hands.
போலி வேடம் போடும் பெண்ணே
உந்தன் முகத்திரை உடைத்துவிடு
இந்த இரவும் கரையும் முன்னே
எந்தன் கையில் கிடைத்துவிடு
Who is he, my
silence he shattered,
Who is he, within me
love he planted as a seed,
Who is he, what else
will he do to me,
I struggled, unable to understand.
யார் இவனோ
எந்தன் மௌனம் கலைத்தான்
யார் இவனோ
என்னுள் காதல் விதைதான்
யார் இவனோ
இன்னும் என்னென்ன செய்வான்
புரியாமல் தவித்தேன்
.....................
Like a wave I rise,
the moment he sees me.
Like a leaf I fall,
into endless depths.
அலை போலே எழுகின்றேன்
அவன் காணும் நேரத்தில்
இல்லை போலே விழுகின்றேன்
முடிவில்லா ஆழத்தில்
அளவாக சிரித்தேனே
கண்ணாடி பிம்பத்தில்
அவன் போலே நடித்தேனே
அதில் வைக்கும் முத்தத்தில்
I smiled subtly,
at my mirror reflection.
I acted just like him,
in the kiss placed upon it.
ஹே பிம்பம் கூட
நொறுங்கிடும் பெண்ணே
உந்தன் முத்தத்தின் இறுக்கத்திலே
நம்பவில்லை இதுவரை இதயம்
நீயும் காதல் கிறக்கத்திலே
Hey, even the reflection
would shatter, oh girl,
in the tightness of your kiss!
My heart didn't believe until now,
that you too are in the craze of love.
.........................
ஓஒ....முதல் பார்வை காதலை
இதய கூட்டில் தேக்கினேன்
அதன் பாரம் தாங்கியே
நகர நாட்கள் போக்கினேன்
Ooo love at first sight,
I gathered inside the cage of my heart.
Bearing its heavy weight,
I spent days dragging myself along.
உன்னை காணும் போதுதான்
உயிரின் தேவை காண்கிறேன்
உன்னை நீங்கும் போதுதான்
நினைவே தேவை என்கிறேன்
Only when I see you,
I realize the need for life.

I say memory is all I need... ooooo

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Yaarivano' portrays the sweet confusion, inner turbulence, and overwhelming joy of falling in love for the first time. The protagonist reflects on an enigmatic person who gently disturbed her inner peace, planting seeds of romance and lingering thoughts that occupy her days and nights like a soft peacock feather touching her eyelids.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Idhaya kootil thekinen”
'Idhaya koodu' translates to 'the cage of the heart', metaphorically comparing the heart to a vessel or cage storing newfound emotions.
Simile (Uvamai Ani)
“Alai polae ezhugindren / Elai polae vizhugindren”
The speaker compares her emotional high to a rising wave ('alai polae') and her helpless surrender to a falling leaf ('elai polae').
Anaphora / Rhyming (Ethugai)
“Yaarivano enthan / Yaarivano ennul”
Repetition of 'Yaarivano' at the beginning of alternating lines creates a rhythmic, musical emphasis on the protagonist's sense of wonder.
