Usurae Poguthey - Ravanan

Intha Bhoomiyila Eppa Vanthu Nee Porantha

En Buthikula Theeporiya Nee Vethacha

Adi Thaeku Mara kaadu Perusuthaan

Chinna Theekuchi Osaram Sirusuthaan

[You planted a spark in my mind

the moment you were born on this earth

The teak wood forest is huge and

the size of the match stick is small]

  

Adi Thaeku Mara Kaadu Perusuthaan

Chinna Theekuchi Osaram Sirusuthaan

Oru Theekuchi Vizhunthu Pudikuthadi

Karunthaekumara Kaadu Vedikuthadi

[The teak wood forest is huge and

the size of the match stick is small

The match stick falls on the ground and ignite

And the teak wood forest bursts into flames]

Oosurae Poguthey Oosurae Poguthey

Odatha Nee Kondam Suzhikayila

Oooo Maaman Thavikiraen, Madipicha Kaekaraen

Manasathaadi En Manikuyilae

Akkarai Cheemaiyil Nee Irunthum

Aiviral Theenditha Nenaikuthadi

Agini Pazhamunu Therinjirunthum

Adikadi Naaku Thudikuthadi

[It’s kills me when I see you squeeze your lips

Oh dear, I’m begging you to give me your heart

Even though you are on the other side of the shore

My fingers yearn to touch you

My tongue yearns to taste it even when it

knows its a ball of fire]

Odambum Manasum Thooram Thooram

Otta Ninaika Aagala

Manasu Sollum Nalla Solla

Maaya Odambu Kaekala

Thaviya.. Thavichu..

Osur Thadam Kettu Thiriyudadi

Thayilanguruvi Enna Thalli Ninnu Sirukudadi..

Intha Mammutha Kiruku Theeruma

Adi Manthirichu Vitta Kozhi Maaruma

En Mayakatha Theethuvechu Manichudumaa..

Santhiranum Sooriyanum Suthi Orae Koatil Varuguthey

Sathiyamum Paththiyamum Ippa Thalaisuthi Kidakuthey

[My body and my heart are far apart and they don’t want to re-unite

My heart says the right things, which my body doesn’t want to obey

My life roams around in pain

and a bird laughs at me from a distance

Will this craziness ever go away

Will the spell you cast on me ever go away

Will my heart make the trance go away

The sun and moon are coming together in a single line

Will the truth and reality (?) have gone haywire]

Oosurae Poguthey Oosurae Poguthey

Intha Olagathil Ithu Onnum Puthusulla

Onnu Rendu Thappi Pogum Ozhukathula

vithi solli vazhi pottaan manusa pulla

vithivillakku illaatha vithiyum illa

[A few of them crossing the line (misbehaving)

is not uncommon in this earth

Man created rules based on fate

There are no rules without an exception]

etta irukkum sooriyan paathu mottu virikkuthu thaamaara

thottu vidatha thooram irunthum sontha banthamum pogala

paambaa vizhutha oru paagupaadu theriyalaye

naan mannukkulla, un nenappu manasukkulla.

chandhiranum sooriyanum,

suthi oru kotti maruguthey, sathiyamum pathiyamum ippo thala suthi kidakkuthey!!

[The lotus blossom at the sight of sun at a far distance

Even those long distances have not taken away the relationships

I’m not able to differentiate a snake from a log

Even after knowing it’s a snake, my heart refuses to be afraid

Even when I die someday, will your face disappear from my eyes

Even when I’m buried under the earth, your thought will always be in my mind

The sun and moon are coming together in a single line

Will the truth and reality (?) have gone haywire]
