Dearest soul, dearest soul,
My love, only in your love
I am living.
Without you, I do not exist.
Before you depart,
My love, I am dying.
ஆருயிரே ஆருயிரே அன்பே
உன் அன்பில் தானே நான் வாழ்கிறேன்
நீயில்லையேல் நான் இல்லையே
நீ போகும் முன்னே
அன்பே நான் சாகிறேன்
You alone are my life,
Your life resides within me.
Closing my eyes, I cry,
I dissolve,
I separate from myself.
நீயே என் உயிரே
எனக்குள் உன் உயிரே
கண்கள் மூடி அழுகிறேன் கரைகிறேன்
என்னை பிரிகிறேன்
Dearest soul, dearest soul,
My love, only in your love
I am living.
ஆருயிரே ஆருயிரே அன்பே
உன் அன்பில் தானே நான் வாழ்கிறேன்
Even if you go beyond my sight,
I will come to you.
Wherever you may be lost,
Your face remains in my heart.
விழிதாண்டி போனாலும்
வருவேன் உன்னிடம்
எங்கே நீ தொலைந்தாலும்
நெஞ்சில் உன் முகம்
Will I transform into the wind?
Will I merge into your breath?
Even when you exhale,
I won't leave; I will reside inside you.
காற்றென மாறுவேனோ ஓ…ஓ …
உன் சுவாசத்தில் சேர்வேனோ
நீ சுவாசிக்கும்போதும்
வெளிவரமாட்டேன்
உனக்குள் வசிப்பேனே...
Oh life, my life,
My life is inside you.
Thinking of you, I cry,
I dissolve,
I separate from myself.
உயிரே என் உயிரே
உனக்குள் என் உயிரே
உன்னை எண்ணி அழுகிறேன் கரைகிறேன்
என்னை பிரிகிறேன்
Dearest soul, dearest soul,
My love, only in your love
I am living.
ஆருயிரே ஆருயிரே அன்பே
உன் அன்பில் தானே நான் வாழ்கிறேன்
...
...............
Unextinguished even if slain,
Is your memory.
கொன்றாலும் அழியாத
உந்தன் ஞாபகம்
கண்ணீரில் முடிந்தால்தான்
காதல் காவியம்
மேற்றினில் வாழ்வேனோ
உன் தோள்களில் சாய்வேனோ
உன் கைவிரல் பிடித்து காதலில் திளைத்து
காலங்கள் மறப்பேனோ ஓஓ...
Only when it ends in tears,
Does love become an epic saga.
Will I live in yesterday?
Will I lean upon your shoulders?
Holding your fingers,
Drowned in love,
Will I forget the passing of time?
உயிரே என்னுயிரே
நாமே ஓருயிரே
நம்மை எண்ணி அழுகிறேன் கரைகிறேன்
உயிரை துறக்கிறேன்...ஏன்...
Oh life, my life,
We are but a single soul.
Male: Thinking of us, I cry,
I dissolve,
I relinquish my life... why...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This emotional piece from Madrasapattinam captures the sheer agony of lovers facing imminent separation and heartbreak. The lyrics reflect a spiritual intertwinement where physical presence is secondary to the eternal connection of their souls. The protagonist expresses that living without their beloved feels like death, yet their shared love and memories will survive beyond physical space and time. The song progresses through grief, despair, and surreal poetic imagery—such as transforming into air to reside within the lover's breath—culminating in the poignant realization that tragedy and tears are what elevate a earthly romance into an timeless epic.
