Enakkaagavae poranthavalae….
Thirunaalayae koduppavalae…
Enakkaagavae poranthavalae….
Thirunaalayae koduppavalae…
Adadaa adadaa
Kangal meedhu idi idichaalae
Mazhaiya veyila rendum thaanae
Aagi pora
Madagu odanja neera pola
Silu siluthaalae
Manasa pinni
Jadaiya mudinjaalae hey heyy
Ketti melam kotti pogum kannae
Adi katti vaadi ottiyanamae
Ettu gajam pattu selai pennae
Adi katti vaadi indha neramae
Enakkaagavae poranthavalae….
Thirunaalayae koduppavalae…
Adadaa adadaa
Kangal meedhu idi idichaalae
Mazhaiya veyila rendum thaanae
Aagi pora
Madagu odanja neera pola
Silu siluthaalae

Jadaiya mudinjaalae
Enakkaagavae…
You who were born just for me,
You who make my life a festival,
You who were born just for me,
You who make my life a festival,
Oh my, oh my!
When thunder strikes through her eyes,
Like rain and sunshine together,
That is what she becomes.
Like water bursting through an open sluice gate,
She sends a cool, rushing thrill through me.
Braiding my heart,
She ties it up just like her hair, hey hey!
The wedding drums will beat for us, my darling,
Fasten your waist-belt and come to me!
Draped in an eight-yard silk saree, my girl,
Wrap it on and come this very moment!
You who were born just for me,
You who make my life a festival,
Oh my, oh my!
When thunder strikes through her eyes,
Like rain and sunshine together,
That is what she becomes.
Like water bursting through an open sluice gate,
She sends a cool, rushing thrill through me.
Braiding my heart,
She ties it up just like her hair...
Just for me...

Madagu odanja neera pola

The rush of romantic feelings is directly compared using 'pola' (like) to water bursting uncontrollably out of a broken dam or sluice gate.

Muran (Contrast / Oxymoron)

Mazhaiya veyila rendum thaanae

Juxtaposes contrasting natural elements—rain ('mazhai') and sunshine ('veyil')—occurring together to illustrate her complex, thrilling effect on him.

Metaphor (Uruvagam)

Manasa pinni / Jadaiya mudinjaalae

Metaphorically compares the mind ('manasu') to long hair that she weaves and ties into a braid, representing her complete control over his thoughts.
