Pookie’s Jillahi Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Vijay Antony describes love as a butterfly caught in a game of hide-and-seek, a metaphor that highlights its fleeting nature. The line, ‘I kept you safe inside the cotton, then I set that cotton on fire,’ mixes love’s warmth with its potential to burn.
Jillaahi Kadhalo Pattampoochi‘Jillaahi’, is this love just a fluttering butterfly?
Jillaahi Aadudhu Kannampoochi‘Jillaahi’, it’s playing a game of hide-and-seek.
Jillaahi Maattuchi Pulla Poochi‘Jillaahi’, the poor insect has gotten itself caught.
Jillaahi Kadhale Kaanapochi‘Jillaahi’, and now the love has vanished completely.
Bullaahi Kadhalo Pattampoochi‘Bullaahi’, is this love just a fluttering butterfly?
Bullaahi Aadudhu Kannampoochi‘Bullaahi’, it’s playing a game of hide-and-seek.
Bullaahi Maattuchi Pulla Poochi‘Bullaahi’, the poor insect has gotten itself caught.
Bullaahi‘Bullaahi’.
Panji Metha Pathikichu Panji Metha PathikichuThe cotton mattress has caught on fire, the mattress is aflame.
Panjum Theeyum Ottikichi Panjum Theeyum OttikichiThe cotton and the fire have fused, they’ve stuck together.

Thookam Varaadhu Kaalgal Ini Intha Tharayai ThodaadhuSleep won’t come to me, and my feet won’t touch this ground anymore.
Moochi Vidumbodhu Kaathe VaraadhuWhen I try to breathe, I can’t even catch my breath.
Kaadhal Pollaadhu Saamiyaara Kooda Thaniye VidaadhuLove is mischievous; it wouldn’t even leave a saint alone.
Saamiyaara Kooda Thaniye VidaadhuIt wouldn’t even leave a saint alone.
