ஏலே லாமா ஏலே
ஏலமா சொல்லாமலே
உள்ளம் துள்ளுமா
நெஞ்சோரமா நெஞ்சின்
ஓரமா வந்தாலம்மா
வெள்ளம் அள்ளுமா
Yellae laama yelae yelamma
Without a word being spoken, the heart leaps with joy.
At the corner of the heart, right at the edge of the heart.
When she arrives, will happiness flood like a wave?
என் ஜன்னல் கதவிலே
இவள் பார்வை பட்டு தெறிக்க
ஒரு மின்னல் பொழுதிலே
உன் காதல் என்னை இழுக்க
என் காலும் விண்ணில்
தாவுதடி குதிக்க
Upon my window shutter,
As her gaze strikes and shatters,
In a moment swift as lightning,
Your love pulls me towards you,
My feet leap into the sky to jump with joy...
ஏலே லாமா
ஏலே ஏலமா

என் ஜன்னல் கதவிலே
இவன் பார்வை பட்டு தெறிக்க
ஒரு மின்னல் பொழுதிலே
உன் காதல் என்னை இழுக்க
என் காலும் விண்ணில்
தாவி அது குதிக்க
Without saying / The heart leaps with joy
.....................................
At the corner / Right at the edge of the heart
அடி நியூட்டன் ஆப்பிள்
விழ புவி ஈர்ப்பை கண்டானடி
இன்று நானும் உன்னில் விழ
விழி ஈர்ப்பை கண்டேனடி
If he arrives / Will happiness flood like a wave?
ஓசை கேட்காமலே
இசை அமைத்தான் பீதோவனே
நீ என்னை கேட்காமலே என்னை
காதல் செய் நண்பனே
Upon my window shutter,
As his gaze strikes and shatters,
In a moment swift as lightning,
Your love pulls me towards you,
My feet leap into the sky to jump with joy...
உத்துமதிப்பாய்
என்னை பார்த்தவளும்
நீதானே
குப்பைகூடை போல்
நெஞ்ச கலைச்சவ நீதானே
மேலும் மேலும் அழகாய்
மாறி போனேன் நானே
Hey girl, Newton discovered gravity when an apple fell,
Today as I fall for you, I discovered the magnetic gravity of your eyes!
ஏலே லாமா ஏலே
ஏலமா சொல்லாமலே
உள்ளம் துள்ளுமா
நெஞ்சோரமா நெஞ்சின்
ஓரமா வந்தாலம்மா
வெள்ளம் அள்ளுமா
Without hearing any sound, Beethoven composed music,
Without asking me anything, love me, my friend!
என் ஜன்னல் கதவிலே
இவள் பார்வை பட்டு தெறிக்க
You were the one who looked at me with an estimating glance,
ஒரு மின்னல் பொழுதிலே
உன் காதல் என்னை இழுக்க
You were the one who scattered my heart like a trash bin,
And yet, I turned more and more beautiful myself!
என் காலும்
விண்ணில் தாவுதடி
குதிக்க
Yellae laama yelae yelamma
Without a word being spoken, the heart leaps with joy.

Has she arrived? Will happiness flood like a wave?
சிறு நேரம் இல்லாமலே
துளி நீரும் இல்லாமலே
இள வெயிலும் படாமலே
பூ பூக்கும் இன்பம் தந்தாய்
Upon my window shutter,
As her gaze strikes and shatters,
தோளில் விழாமலே
கை சிறிதும் படாமலே
உன் நிழலும் தொடாமலே
நீ என்னை கொள்ளை
இட்டாய்
In a moment swift as lightning,
Your love pulls me towards you,
இருவரும் மட்டும்
வாழ பூமி ஒன்று செய்வோமா
இரவொன்றே போதும் என்று
பகலிடம் சொல்வோமா
My feet leap into the sky to jump with joy...
வேறு வேலை
ஏதும் இன்றி காதல்
செய்வோம் வா வா
ஏலே லாமா
ஏலே ஏலமா
சொல்லாமலே
உள்ளம் துள்ளுமா
நெஞ்சோரமா
நெஞ்சின் ஓரமா

உன் காதல் என்னை இழுக்க
என் காலும் விண்ணில்
தாவுதடி குதிக்க
Without taking even a little time,
Without even a single drop of water,
Without touching any gentle sunlight,
You gave me the joy of a flower blooming.
Without falling onto my shoulders,
Without your hands touching me even a bit,
Without even your shadow touching me,
You robbed my heart completely!
Shall we create an earth where only the two of us live?
Shall we tell the day that night alone is enough?
With no other work to do, come, let us make love.
Yellae laama / Yelae yelamma

Your love pulls me towards you,

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Yellae Laama is an upbeat, ecstatic romantic duet from the film 7aum Arivu (2011), composed by Harris Jayaraj with lyrics by Na. Muthu Kumar. The song depicts the exhilaration of sudden romance and mutual attraction, capturing how love transforms everyday reality into a sense of weightless joy. Through clever analogies—comparing eye contact to Newton's discovery of gravity and unsaid feelings to Beethoven composing music—the lyrics portray love as an effortless, magical force. The lovers express a dream of building a secluded world of their own where time stands still, dedicated entirely to their love.
