Female :Hmm mmm mm mm…..
Without even looking up at me
Without asking what is wrong
Filling every thought of mine
You are killing me
Without even looking up at me
Without asking what is wrong
Filling every thought of mine
You are killing me
Girl, why inside my heart
Do you cast a fishing hook?
Beyond you, from God
I plead and pray
Without even looking up at me
Without asking what is wrong
...
I have so many desires
What am I to do?
My dear, as I speak
Listen to what I tell you
So many pairs of eyes
Stare at me from afar
Why is it that when you look at me
My shirt is drenched in sweat?
O southern breeze
Take me along with you
O my dear lord
I have been waiting for you
I want to live with you to my heart's content
Come running, my love
Without even looking up at me
Without asking what is wrong
Filling every thought of mine
You are killing me
I will keep loving you
For a hundred lifetimes
I will wait for all eternity
My precious darling
You alone are in my life
My eternal heaven
Do not stay away from me
If you leave, it is pure hell
Like a curved blade
Your memory cuts into me
O lush green mountain grove
When will I unite with you?
You are my whole life
Deep inside my heart
Without even looking up at me
Without asking what is wrong
Filling every thought of mine
You are killing me
Girl, why inside my heart
Do you cast a fishing hook?
Female: Ah... aaa... aa...
Male: Beyond you, from God
I plead and pray
Female: Mmm mmm mm mm...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Yereduthu Paakkama from the movie MGR Magan is a romantic folk-pop duet capturing the affection and emotional devotion between two lovers. The male protagonist expresses how his beloved captivates his mind even when she ignores him, comparing her intense presence in his thoughts to a hook caught in his heart and a blade slicing through his soul. He declares that apart from her, he has nothing else to seek from God.

Antithesis / Contrast (Muran)

Neethaanadi endhan vaazhvin / Endrum sorgamae ... Pona naragamae
