Abhilasham’s Thattathilu Lyrics Translation
The lyrics use direct physical descriptions to illustrate an emotional overload. One passage details the heart’s hinges being forced open and sacks of sugar getting knocked over. Another line follows a shiver as it starts from the tip of a toe and immediately spreads throughout the body.
Thattathil Thakkathil Thannittu PoyathenthuIn an instant, at the perfect moment, what did you give before you left?
Thanjathil ThanjathilIn that perfect rhythm
Nenjin Vijaagiri Thalli ThurannittuYou forced open the hinges of my heart
Panchaara Chaakkukal Thatti MarichittuAnd knocked over sacks full of sugar
Thakkathil Thattathil Thannittu PoyathenthuAt the perfect moment, in an instant, what did you give before you left?
Kaatil Vaasana Kaathalin VaasanaThere’s a scent in the air, the scent of love
Laanjana Laanjana NenjilaalochanaSo much grace, so much wonder fills my heart
Paaril Maarivil Pookkana ChelilLike a rainbow blooming beautifully on this earth
AaAh
Maarile Muriyile Piraanthukal PerukanuInside this room of my chest, the madness multiplies
Premathin Mullathai Mottittu NikkanuThe jasmine vine of love has begun to bud
Manathaarin Muttathe Aaraamam ChutteettuIt circles the garden in my mind’s courtyard
Poonthenum Montheettu Adikkuzhanjum Kondaananda Nrithathil Aaraadum PoompaattaA butterfly, drunk on nectar, dancing wildly in pure bliss
Aayiramaayiramaay AarthirambunneIt’s surging forward by the thousands
Aadalum Paadalumaay PongipparanneIt’s rising and soaring with dance and with song
Nenjin Vijaagiri Thalli ThurannittuYou forced open the hinges of my heart
Panchaara Chaakkukal Thatti MarichittuAnd knocked over sacks full of sugar
Thakkathil Thattathil Thannittu PoyathenthuAt the perfect moment, in an instant, what did you give before you left?
Kaalile Cheru Viral Thumbil Ninnoru ViraFrom the tip of my smallest toe, a shiver begins
AaAh
Udaliloodadi Muthal Udanadi PadaranuAnd instantly rushes from the bottom to the top of my body
AaAh
Karalile Kaanatha TheneechakkoottilInto the hidden beehive of my soul
Kannile Kallonderinja NjodiyilThe moment a stone from your eyes was thrown
Mohathin Meneelum Morilum MaarilumOn my body, my face, and my chest, this desire
Thuruthure Kuttettu PremakkadachilaayStings repeatedly, becoming a deep love-ache
Aazhathilaazhathilaay NeelichidunneDeeper and deeper, it bruises me
Aavathillaavathillaay Eare ParavashanaayeI can’t take it, I can’t take it, I’m utterly lost in this feeling
Nenjin Vijaagiri Thalli ThurannittuYou forced open the hinges of my heart
Panchaara Chaakkukal Thatti MarichittuAnd knocked over sacks full of sugar
Thanjathil ThanjathilIn that perfect rhythm
Kaatil Vaasana Kaathalin VaasanaThere’s a scent in the air, the scent of love
Laanjana Laanjana NenjilaalochanaSo much grace, so much wonder fills my heart
The track unfolds around a recurring refrain that questions the initial event. Verses then catalog the progression of new feelings, from a full-body tremor to an ache like bee stings. This structure ties the entire experience back to a single, powerful memory.
