யாரோ நீ பிஞ்சு
நிலவா பஞ்சு சிலையா
நெஞ்சின் அலையா
Who are you...
Are you a tender crescent moon?
A statue made of soft cotton?
A wave in my heart?
யாரோ நீ
பிள்ளை கதிரா
வெள்ளை இரவா
வெயில் மழையா
Who are you...
A gentle ray of sun?
A bright white night?
A sunny rain shower?
பல நூறு முட்கள்
கொண்ட மீனாய் நானும்
வாழ்ந்து வந்தேன் உன்
தூண்டில் என்னும் ஒற்றை
முள்ளில் இன்றோ மாட்டி
கொண்டேன்
Having hundreds of thorns
I lived like a fish
On the single hook of your fishing rod
Today I got caught
என் முத்தத்தில்
உன் மீசையை சுமக்கின்ற
ஆண் நான்
என் நெஞ்சிலே
உன் காதலை சுமக்கின்ற
தாய் நான்
In my kiss, your mustache
I am the man who carries it
Male: In my heart, your love
I am the mother who carries it
யாரோ நீ பிஞ்சு
நிலவா பஞ்சு சிலையா
நெஞ்சின் அலையா
Who are you...
Are you a tender crescent moon?
A statue made of soft cotton?
A wave in my heart?
யாரோ நீ
பிள்ளை கதிரா
வெள்ளை இரவா
வெயில் மழையா
Who are you...
A gentle ray of sun?
A bright white night?
A sunny rain shower?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Yaaroo Nee from the movie Sullan is a romantic duet expressing wonder, desire, and deep emotional complete devotion between two lovers. The male protagonist marvelling at his beloved's ethereal beauty compares her to a crescent moon, a soft statue of cotton, and a sunny rain shower, feeling captured by love like a fish caught on a hook. The heroine responds in kind with poetic fervor. Using metaphors drawn from classical Tamil language grammar—such as vowels, consonants, short and long sounds—the song depicts how two individuals blend together to form a complete life and expression. Their physical and emotional intimacy culminates in rich literary imagery like vermilion blending into sweat akin to rain mixing with red soil.
