ஜூன் ஜூலை மாலையில் தனியா
பண்டோரா பாவை நீ ஹனியா
என்னோட சேர வா துணையா
இனிமேலும் தாமதம் சரியா
Alone in the June-July rain
Are you a Pandora doll, honey?
Come join me as my companion
Is further delay right anymore?
மனசு கேண்டில் போல உருகுதே
உயிர் தூண்டில் மீனாய்
சிக்கி போறடா கொக்கி போடாத
My heart melts like a candle
My soul is like a fish on a hook
Struggling while caught, don't hook me like this
யாரடி யாரடி நீதான் அன்பே
வந்து நில்லம்மா
ஓர் அடி ஈர் அடி முன்னால் வந்து
பதில் சொல்லம்மா யென் கண்ணம்மா
Who are you, who are you, my love?
Come and stand before me, girl
Take one step, two steps forward and come
Answer me, my dear Kannamma
யாரடி யாரடி
வந்து நில்லம்மா
ஓர் அடி ஈர் அடி
பதிலில் சொல்லம்மா யென் கண்ணம்மா
Who are you, who are you?
Come and stand before me, girl
One step, two steps
Answer me, my dear Kannamma
ஐயோ யோ யோ
என் இந்த காதல் கேமியோ
மெய்யோ பொய்யோ
என்ன தந்திரம் மந்திரம் செய்தா-யோ
Oh my, my, my
Why this cameo appearance of love?
Is it real or is it a lie?
What trick or magic spell have you cast?
ஐயோ யோ யோ

இரவு யாவும்
தனிமியா நான் கடந்த நேரம்
கனவில் வந்து
கவிதையா நீ நுழைந்த மாயம்
All through the nights
When I spent time in solitude
Coming into my dreams
The magic of you entering like poetry
பாலை மண்ணில் இறங்கும் தூவானம்
பாதை எல்லாம் அரும்பும் உன் வாசம்
Like a drizzle falling on desert soil
Your fragrance blossoms along the entire path
ஹே ஏ
மலரும் காலம் எப்போ
முல்லையே ஹே
மலையில் தேனி போல
சுத்தி வந்தேனே சொக்கி போனேனே
Hey ey
When is the blooming season
Oh jasmine flower?
Like a bee caught in the rain
I hovered around and got utterly enchanted
யாரடி யாரடி நீதான் அன்பே
வந்து நில்லம்மா
ஓர் அடி ஈர் அடி முன்னால் வந்து
பதில் சொல்லம்மா யென் கண்ணம்மா
Who are you, who are you, my love?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song depicts the protagonist's intense fascination and agonizing yearning for a mysterious love interest. He describes how her brief, elusive presence feels like a magical 'cameo' appearance that leaves him captivated and confused about whether her feelings are real or an illusion. Using vivid sensory imagery—such as a melting candle, a fish hooked on a fishing line, and a drizzle refreshing parched desert sand—he conveys both the pain and sweet enchantment of falling in love. Throughout the track, he repeatedly pleads with her to step forward and reveal her true feelings, asking who she really is and why she has cast such a spell over his heart. The romantic tension escalates as he reflects on how her memory turns his lonely nights into poetry, leaving him completely bewitched like a honeybee caught in monsoon rain.
