ஏதோ ஒரு வேகம்
இளம் தேகம் எங்கும் மோகம் ஏற்றுதம்மா
ஆயிரம் கனவிலே ஆயிரம் உணர்விலே
இந்த மனமது புது நினைவினில் மிதக்குதம்மா
லலலலலலலலா
A mysterious rush
Kindles passion all over my young body
In a thousand dreams, in a thousand feelings
This heart floats in new thoughts and memories
Lalalalalalalalaaa
ஏதோ ஒரு வேகம்......
A mysterious rush...
தனிமையென்று நான் வாட
இனிமை ஒன்று தான் கூட
தலைவன் எண்ணம் வந்தாட
தாகம் நெஞ்சின் உள்ளாட
As I wither in solitude
Only sweetness gathers around me
As thoughts of my beloved dance in my mind
A deep thirst sways within my heart
சிறகு இல்லை எனினும் எண்ணம்
வானிலே சென்றாட
என் பூஜைகள் என் ஆசைகள்
உன் கோவில் தேடி வந்தது
Though I have no wings, my thoughts
Fly and dance high in the sky
My prayers and my desires
Have come searching for your temple
ஏதோ ஒரு வேகம்......
இளம் தேகம் எங்கும் மோகம் ஏற்றுதம்மா
ஆயிரம் கனவிலே ஆயிரம் உணர்விலே
இந்த மனமது புது நினைவினில் மிதக்குதம்மா

Kindles passion all over my young body
In a thousand dreams, in a thousand feelings
This heart floats in new thoughts and memories

நூறு நூறு ஜென்மங்கள்
ஒன்று சேரும் பந்தங்கள்
ஆசைக் கொண்ட உள்ளங்கள்
ஆடி மாத வெள்ளங்கள்
Bonds spanning hundreds and hundreds of lifetimes
Are coming together now
Hearts filled with yearning desires
Are like the swollen monsoon floods of the month of Aadi
பூவிலாடும் வாசம் போல
பாடுதே எண்ணங்கள்
மணமாலைகள் சுப வேளைகள்
எனைச் சேரும் காலம் வந்ததோ...
Like the fragrance hovering over flowers
My thoughts begin to sing
Wedding garlands and auspicious moments
Has the time come for them to reach me?
ஏதோ ஒரு வேகம்......
இளம் தேகம் எங்கும் மோகம் ஏற்றுதம்மா
ஆயிரம் கனவிலே ஆயிரம் உணர்விலே

Even in her solitude, sweet thoughts of her lover bring joy, causing her spirit to fly high without wings and directing her devotion towards the temple of his heart. In the second stanza, she reflects on the cosmic, multi-life bond shared with her soulmate. She compares the sudden flood of desires in their longing hearts to the surging rivers of the Tamil month of Aadi. Experiencing her feelings like a delicate fragrance singing through flowers, she eagerly wonders if the auspicious time for their grand union and marriage has finally arrived.

Trivia
The song features music composed by Gangai Amaran for the 1984 film 'Rusi'. Sung by the legendary playback singer P. Susheela, the song stands out for Vaali's evocative lyrics using traditional Tamil cultural imagery, such as 'Aadi maatha vellangal' (monsoon river surges in the Tamil month of Aadi) to metaphorically describe the uncontrollable flood of human emotions.
