Azhagu Chellam Lyrics Translation (from “Raid”)
Haricharan asks if his partner arrived to lock his existence in a box. Bhuvana Ananth compares their union to palm lines seeking inseparable connection. Both describe love’s power to erase independent identity.
En Azhagu Chellam Ammu KuttyMy beautiful darling, my sweet sweetheart.
Enna Yen Nee Kolra KolraWhy’re you killing me like this?
En Ulagam Nee ThaanYou’re my entire world.
Uyirum Nee ThaanYou’re my very life too.
Uravaa Vandhu Kaadhal SolraCome to me as my partner and tell me you love me.
Yaaru Yaaru Yaarda NeeWho are you? Just who are you?
Ennai Thirudathathaan Vanthaaiyo NeeDid you come here just to steal me away?
Boomi Bandhukkul En JenmathaWithin this round earth, my very existence,
Potti Vaikkathaan Vanthaaiyo NeeDid you come to lock my whole life in a box?
