Akkam pakkam yaarum illla
Bhoologam vendum
Andhi pagal Unarugae
Naan vaazha vendum
Akkam pakkam yaarum illla
Bhoologam vendum
Andhi pagal Unarugae
Naan vaazha vendum
Nee pesum vaarthaigal segarithu
Seiven anbae orr agaraathi
Nee thoongum nerathil thoongamal
Parpen thinam un thalai kothi
Kadorathil epothumae un moochu kaatrin
Veppam sumapen
Kayoduthaan kai korthu thaan un maarbu sootil
Mugham puthaipen
Verenna vendum ulagathilae
Indha inbam pothum nejinilae
Ezhezhuu jenjam vaazhndu viten
Akkam pakkam yaarum illla
Bhoologam vendum
Andhi pagal Unarugae
Naan vaazha vendum
Neeyum naanum serumunnae
Nizhal rendum ondru kalakirathae
Neram kaalam theriyamal
Nenjam indru vinnil mithakiradhae
Unal indru pennagavae
Naan pirandadin arthangal arindu konden
Un Theendalil en dhegathil
Puthu janalgal thirapathai therindu konden
Verenna vendum ulagathilae
Indha inbam pothum nejinilae
Ezhezhuu jenjam vaazhndu viten
Nana nanaa nana nanaa nanaaananana
Lalalala lalalala lalaaaala laala..
With no one else around us,
I want a world of our own.
Day and night, right beside you,
I want to live.
With no one else around us,
I want a world of our own.
Day and night, right beside you,
I want to live.
Collecting every word you speak,
I will make a dictionary, my love.
Staying awake while you sleep,
I will stroke your hair and watch over you every day.
Right beside my ear, at all times,
I will carry the warmth of your breath.
Holding your hand tightly in mine,
I will bury my face in the warmth of your chest.
What else do I need in this world?
This joy in my heart is more than enough.
I have lived through seven lifetimes.
With no one else around us,
I want a world of our own.
Day and night, right beside you,
I want to live.
Even before you and I come together,
Our two shadows blend into one.
Without keeping track of time,
My heart floats in the sky today.
Because of you, today,
I have understood the meaning of being born a woman.
With your touch, inside my body,
I realized new windows are opening up.
What else do I need in this world?
This joy in my heart is more than enough.
I have lived through seven lifetimes.
Naana naana naana naana naanaa-ananaa
Lalalalaa lalalalaa lalaaalaa laalaa..

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'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.
