யாருமில்லா பூலோகம்
வேண்டும் அந்திபகல்
உன்னருகே நான் வாழ
வேண்டும்
I want a world with no one around,
I need such a world.
Day and night near you,
I want to live.
என் ஆசை
எல்லாம் உன்
இருக்கத்திலே என்
ஆயுள்வரை உன்
அணைப்பினிலே
வேறென்ன வேண்டும்
உலகத்திலே இந்த இன்பம்
போதும் நெஞ்சினிலே
ஏழேழு ஜென்மம்
வாழ்ந்துவிட்டேன்
I want a world with no one around,
I need such a world.
Day and night near you,
I want to live.
அக்கம் பக்கம்
யாருமில்லா பூலோகம்
வேண்டும் அந்திபகல்
உன்னருகே நான் வாழ
வேண்டும்
Collecting the words you speak,
My love, I will make a dictionary.
Without sleeping while you sleep,
I will watch over you daily, running my fingers through your hair.
Near my ears, always the breeze of your breath,
I will carry its warmth.
Holding hands together, in the warmth of your chest,
I will bury my face.
நீ பேசும்
வார்த்தைகள் சேகரித்து
செய்வேன் அன்பே ஓர்
அகராதி நீ தூங்கும் நேரத்தில்
தூங்காமல் பார்ப்பேன்
தினம் உன் தலைகோதி
காதோரத்தில் எப்போதுமே
உன் மூச்சுக்காற்றின் வெப்பம்
சுமப்பேன் கையோடு தான்
கைகோர்த்து தான் உன்
மார்புச்சூட்டில் முகம் புதைப்பேன்
What else is needed in this world?
This bliss is enough in my heart.
I have lived for seven times seven lifetimes!
வேறென்ன வேண்டும்
உலகத்திலே இந்த இன்பம்
போதும் நெஞ்சினிலே
ஏழேழு ஜென்மம்
வாழ்ந்துவிட்டேன்
I want a world with no one around,
I need such a world.
Day and night near you,
I want to live.
அக்கம் பக்கம்
யாருமில்லா பூலோகம்
வேண்டும் அந்திபகல்
உன்னருகே நான் வாழ
வேண்டும்
Even before you and I unite,
Our two shadows mingle into one.
Losing all sense of time,
My heart floats in the sky today.
நீயும் நானும்
சேரும் முன்னே நிழல்
ரெண்டும் ஒன்று கலக்கிறதே
நேரம் காலம் தெரியாமல்
நெஞ்சம் இன்று விண்ணில்
மிதக்கிறதே
Because of you today, as a woman,
I have understood the purpose of my birth.
Through your touch, upon my body,
I realized new windows opening.
உன்னால்
இன்று பெண்ணாகவே
நான் பிறந்ததின்
அர்த்தங்கள் அறிந்து
கொண்டேன் உன் தீண்டலில்
என் தேகத்தில் புது ஜன்னல்கள்
திறப்பதை தெரிந்துகொண்டேன்
What else is needed in this world?
This bliss is enough in my heart.
I have lived for seven times seven lifetimes!
வேறென்ன வேண்டும்
உலகத்திலே இந்த இன்பம்
போதும் நெஞ்சினிலே
ஏழேழு ஜென்மம்
வாழ்ந்துவிட்டேன்
Naana naanaa naana naanaa naanaaananaana
Lalalala lalalala lalaaaala laala..

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Akkam Pakkam' is a deeply romantic song expressing the overwhelming euphoria and intimate devotion of a woman in love. She longs for an isolated world where only she and her beloved exist, allowing her to cherish every small detail of his presence—from compiling a dictionary of his spoken words to finding the deep purpose of her existence through his gentle touch. The joy of being together makes a single lifetime feel as vast and complete as living forty-nine lifetimes.
