ஒரு வேதியல் மாற்றம் நேருதே
தட்பம் வெட்பம் தடுமாறுதே

ஹேய்.......ஹேய் ஹேய்ஹேய்......
Two eyes
Eyes met together
Two eyelids were astonished
A chemical reaction is occurring
Cold and heat are faltering
மழை சாரலோ என் நெஞ்சிலே
சுகமாய் கீறலோ என் உயிரிலே
மழை சாரலோ என் நெஞ்சிலே
சுகமாய் கீறலோ என் உயிரிலே
Hey hey hey hey hey…
இது கீறலா மழை சாரலா
இது காதலா இல்ல தேன் நிலா
இது மீறலாம் பரிமாறலாம்
இது காதலா கண் மோதலா
Is it a drizzle of rain in my heart?
Is it a pleasant scratch on my soul?
Is it a drizzle of rain in my heart?
Is it a pleasant scratch on my soul?
யாரிடமும்
தோன்றவில்லை இது போல்
நான் எனது ஏதும் இல்லை இனிமேல்
யாரிடமும்
தோன்றவில்லை இது போல்
நான் எனது ஏதும் இல்லை இனிமேல்
Is this a scratch or a drizzle of rain?
Is this love or early summer?
Can this be transgressed? Can gifts be exchanged?
Is this love or an eye-lock collision?
நான் கண்கள் மூடி பார்க்கிறேன்...
ஒரு தென்றல் தீண்டி வேர்க்கிறேன்
நான் கண்கள் மூடியும் பார்க்கிறேன்
ஒரு தென்றல் தீண்டி வேர்க்கிறேன்
கார்மேகம் வந்து மோதியே
This kind of feeling never arose with anyone else before
There is nothing left as 'me' or 'mine' anymore
This kind of feeling never arose with anyone else before
There is nothing left as 'me' or 'mine' anymore
ஒரு விண்மீன் இன்று
சில்லு சில்லாய் சிதறுதே

சில்லு சில்லாய் சிதறுதே
I try to look with my eyes closed
I sweat as a gentle breeze touches me
Even with closed eyes, I try to look
I sweat as a gentle breeze touches me
As dark clouds collide,
A star shatters into tiny pieces today
A star shatters into tiny pieces today
யாரிடமும்

உன்னை கண்டபின்னே எந்தன்
பெண்மைகளும் உயிர் பெறுதே
கண்ணாமூச்சி ஆட்டம் போட்ட
வெட்கங்களும் வெளிவருதே
Without my knowledge, you admired me
You translated my silences into words
தரையினில் நின்ற போதும் மிதக்கிறேன்
அணைத்திட நீளும் கையை அடக்கினேன்
என்னை தந்து உன்னை வாங்க வந்தேனே
இளவேனில் காற்றின் வெட்பம் தாக்க நின்றேனே
After seeing you, my womanhood
Has come back to life
The shy feelings that played hide and seek
Are coming out now
யாரிடமும்
தோன்றவில்லை இது போல்
நான் எனது ஏதும் இல்லை இனிமேல்
யாரிடமும்
தோன்றவில்லை இது போல்
நான் எனது ஏதும் இல்லை இனிமேல்
Even when standing in a dream, I float
I held back my hand that extended to embrace you
I came to give myself and take you
I stood enduring the heat of the early summer wind
நான் கனவுகளை கண்டதில்லை
கனவாய் யாரிடமும் சென்றதில்லை
முன்னே பின்னே பார்த்ததில்லை
இருந்தும் மனம் உன்னை நாட
முந்நூற் ஆண்டு ஒன்றை வாழ்ந்த
ஞாபகத்தில் தடுமாற
This kind of feeling never arose with anyone else before
There is nothing left as 'me' or 'mine' anymore
This kind of feeling never arose with anyone else before
There is nothing left as 'me' or 'mine' anymore
விரல்களின்
மோதிரங்கள் நீக்கினேன்
உன் விரல் தேடி வந்து
கோர்க்கிறேன்
I haven't dreamed dreams before
I haven't gone to anyone as a dream
இந்த சொல்லும்
இந்த கனவும் நிற்கட்டும்
நம்மை வானம் வந்து
ஈரக்கையால் வாழ்த்தட்டும்
I haven't looked around back and forth
Yet my heart seeks you
As if faltering in memories
Of living together for three hundred years
யாரிடமும்
தோன்றவில்லை இது போல்
நான் எனது ஏதும் இல்லை இனிமேல்
I removed the rings from my fingers
I seek your fingers to entwine with mine
நான் கண்கள் மூடி பார்க்கிறேன்
குழு :
நான் கண்கள் மூடி பார்க்கிறேன்
ஒரு தென்றல் தீண்டி வேர்க்கிறேன்
குழு :

Let these words and this dream
Freeze in time

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Yaaridamum Thondra Villai' (also known as 'Iru Vizhigalum') from the film Thotti Jaya portrays the intense, transformative sensation of falling in love for the very first time. Through vivid imagery of weather changes, light drizzles, and chemical reactions, the lyrics depict how love alters one's physical sensations and emotional perspective. The protagonist expresses a profound sense of self-surrender, feeling as though her individual identity ('me' and 'mine') has vanished in the presence of her beloved. Narratively, the song highlights the protagonist's transition from solitude to emotional union. The lyrics compare the feeling of connection to an ancient soulmate memory, feeling like three hundred years of togetherness. The visual metaphors of shattering stars, spring breezes, and skyly blessings convey the overwhelming yet comforting ecstasy of newfound love.
