Dum tara dum tara, lost in bliss,
Tara dum tara dum tara, lost in bliss,
Tara dum tara dum dum,
My desire leaps towards you...
My dearest love, will you forgive me? Will you forgive me?
Tell me, my beloved companion...
Oh, isn't a night without you
just like a night with no air to breathe?
My dearest love, will you forgive me? Will you forgive me?
Tell me, my beloved companion...
My dearest love, will you forgive me? Will you forgive me?
Tell me, my beloved companion... oh...
Dum tara dum tara, lost in bliss,
Tara dum tara dum tara, lost in bliss,
Tara dum tara dum dum,
My desire leaps towards you...
...
Oho... ooo... oho...
But if you leave me and go,
my moon will lose its glow,
and the blue of the sky will fade away.
O quick-tempered songbird,
driven mad with passion,
I suffered and yearned.
Thinking of you, I would wither away.
Without you, poetry and music
hold no sweetness at all...
O beauty who enchants all five senses...
My dearest love, will you forgive me? Will you forgive me?
Tell me, my beloved companion... oh...
Dum tara dum tara, lost in bliss,
Tara dum tara dum tara, lost in bliss,
Tara dum tara dum dum,
My desire leaps towards you...
Oh... oh... oh... oh...
A rose flower...
If a thorn hurts a delicate rose,
is that fair?
Can just talking ever calm my body's longing?
Living without love is simple,
but having it and still being denied is pure pain.
Do not kill me in this non-violent way...
Dum tara dum tara, lost in bliss,
Tara dum tara dum tara, lost in bliss,
Tara dum tara dum dum,
My desire leaps towards you...
My dearest soul, will I forgive you? Will I forgive you?
Tell me, my beloved life...
My dearest love, will you forgive me? Will you forgive me?
Tell me, my beloved companion... oh...
Oh, isn't a night without you
just like a night with no air to breathe?
Dum tara dum tara, lost in bliss,
Tara dum tara dum tara, lost in bliss,
Tara dum tara dum dum,
My desire leaps towards you...
Ahaa... aaa... aaa...
Dum tara dum tara, lost in bliss,
Tara dum tara dum tara, lost in bliss,
Tara dum tara dum dum,
My desire leaps towards you...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Aaruyirae is a soulful romantic plea from Mani Ratnam's film Guru, composed by A.R. Rahman with lyrics penned by Vairamuthu. The song captures a passionate lovers' quarrel where the protagonist earnestly begs his beloved for forgiveness. He describes how empty and suffocating his world becomes without her, comparing a night without her love to an atmosphere completely lacking air, and describing how the moon wilts and the sky loses its deep blue in her absence.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Metaphor & Hyperbole

Kaatrillatha iravaai aagaathoo

Compares a night spent away from the lover to a suffocating night devoid of oxygen.

Personification

Enthan nilaa sornthu pogum / Vaanin neelam theinthu pogumae

Personifies nature and celestial bodies, describing the moon as tired and the sky's blue color as fading due to separation.

Paradox / Antithesis

Illamalae vaazhvathu inbam / Irunthum illai enbathu thunbam

Contrasts the quiet contentment of having nothing with the acute pain of having a lover present yet emotionally distant.

Trivia

This track is the Tamil equivalent of 'Tere Bina' from the Hindi version of Guru. A.R. Rahman composed both versions, drawing inspiration from Sufi qawwali traditions and Hindustani classical ragas, featuring additional vocals by Murtuza Khan and Qadir Khan.
