அன்பே ஆருயிரே ஆசைப் பூங்கிளியே
உன்னைப் பார்ப்பதற்கே உயிரே
உருகுது என் மனமே
My love, my precious life, my beloved parrot-like sweet heart,
Just to see you, my life,
My heart melts.
அன்பே ஆருயிரே ஆசைப் பூங்கிளியே
உன்னைப் பார்ப்பதற்கே உயிரே
உருகுது என் மனமே
உன்னைப் பார்ப்பதற்கே உயிரே
உருகுது என் மனமே
ஜீவன் ஓயும் முன்னே வருவேன்
ஜீவன் ஓயும் முன்னே
நான் வருவேன் உன்னிடமே......
My love, my precious life, my beloved parrot-like sweet heart,
Just to see you, my life,
My heart melts.
Just to see you, my life,
My heart melts.
Before my life fades away, I will come.
Before my life fades away,
I will come to you.
அன்பே ஆருயிரே ஆசைப் பூங்கிளியே
உன்னைப் பார்ப்பதற்கே உயிரே....
My love, my precious life, my beloved parrot-like sweet heart,
Just to see you, my life...
நெஞ்சம் அழிந்தாலும் உண்மைக் காதல்
நேசம் அழியாது பெண் மானே
உன்னை நினைத்தே நான் ஓடாய் தேய்ந்தே
உருவம் குலைந்தேதான் போனேனே
Even if memory perishes, true love's
Affection never dies, my deer-like girl.
Thinking of you, I wore away like a worn-out stream,
My very form has lost its shape.
என் காதலின் சின்னமே
ஏங்காதே என் அன்னமே
மண்ணில் நான் இங்கே மறைந்தாலும்
மயிலே உன் எண்ணம் மறையாது
கண்ணே என் தேகம் சாய்ந்தாலும்
காற்றாய் உனைத் தேடி வருவேனே......
Oh symbol of my love,
Do not yearn, my gentle swan.
Even if I am forgotten or buried here on earth,
Oh peacock, thoughts of you will never fade.
Oh my eyes, even if my body collapses,
I will come searching for you like a wild mountain stream...
அன்பே ஆருயிரே ஆசைப் பூங்கிளியே....
My love, my precious life, my beloved parrot-like sweet heart...
தீபம் இல்லாத கோயில் போலே
தினமும் தவித்தேனே நான் இங்கே
பூக்கள் இல்லாத சோலை போலே
பொழுதே பூங்காத்தே நீ அங்கே
Like a temple without a lit lamp,
I suffered in anguish here every day.
Like a garden without flowers,
Time passes without a gentle breeze, as you stay there.
உனக்காகவே நானுமே
உயிர் வாழ்கிறேன் இன்னுமே
இனியும் சுமை தாங்க முடியாது
எந்தன் உயிர்க் கூடு தாங்காது
உன்னை நான் வந்து பார்க்காமல்
உருகும் என் மூச்சு போகாது.....
Only for your sake,
I am still keeping this life alive.
I can no longer bear this burden,
The cage of my life cannot endure it.
Without coming to see you,
My melting breath will not leave me.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This soulful Tamil song expresses intense grief, eternal devotion, and longing caused by separation from a beloved. The singer addresses their partner with deeply romantic epithets such as 'poongiliyae' (sweet parrot), 'penn maanae' (deer-like woman), and 'annamae' (gentle swan). The lyricist highlights that physical decay, memory loss, or earthly demise cannot diminish true love.
