அன்பில் அவன்
சேர்த்த இதை மனிதரே
வெறுக்காதீர்கள் வேண்டும்
என நினைத்த இதை
வீணாக மிதிக்காதீர்கள்
O humans, do not hate this bond that God/Love has joined together.
Do not wastefully trample upon this union that was desired.
உயிரே உன்னை
உன்னை எந்தன் வாழ்க்கை
துணையாக ஏற்கின்றேன்
ஏற்கின்றேன் இனிமேல்
புயல் வெயில் மழை
மாலை சோலை இவை
ஒன்றாக கடப்போமே
My soul, you, you, as my...
Life partner, I accept, I accept.
From now on, the storm, sunshine, rain,
Evening, and garden—shall we traverse all these together?
உன்னை தாண்டி
எதையும் என்னால்
யோசனை செய்ய
முடியாதே முடியாதே
Beyond thinking of you, to contemplate anything else,
Is impossible for me, impossible.
நீ வானவில்லாக
அவள் வண்ணம் ஏழாக
அந்த வானம் வீடாக
மாறாதோ மாறாதோ
ஓ ஜோடி போட்டுத்தான்
நீங்கள் போனாலே கண்
பட்டுக் காய்ச்சல்தான்
வாராதோ வாராதோ
If you are the rainbow and her colors are so beautiful,
Will not that sky turn into a home?
Oh, if you walk together as a pair,
Won't a fever caused by the evil eye strike you?
உயிரே உன்னை
உன்னை எந்தன் வாழ்க்கை
துணையாக ஏற்கின்றேன்

From now on, the storm, sunshine, rain,
Evening, and garden—shall we traverse all these together?
நீளும் இரவில்
ஒரு பகலும் நீண்ட
பகலில் சிறு இரவும்
கண்டு கொள்ளும்
கலை அறிந்தோம்
எங்கு என்று அதை
பயின்றோம்
A day within a long night,
And a brief night within a long day,
We learned the fine art of finding them,
Where and how did we practice that art?
Male: Change the earth, sky, wind, fire, and water,
Bring something completely new and plant it.
பூமி வானம் காற்று
தீயை நீராய் மாற்று புதிதாய்
கொண்டு வந்து நீட்டு
If you are the rainbow and her colors are so beautiful,
Will not that sky turn into a home?
Oh, if you walk together as a pair,
Won't a fever caused by the evil eye strike you?
நீ வானவில்லாக
அவள் வண்ணம் ஏழாக
அந்த வானம் வீடாக
மாறாதோ மாறாதோ

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Anbil Avan' is a joyous wedding song from the romantic classic Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (2010). The lyrics celebrate the sacred union of two lovers entering matrimony, urging society to respect and bless love rather than oppose it. The song highlights mutual acceptance, promising to stand together through life's storms (hardships) and sunny gardens (joys).

Antithesis / Contrast (Muran)
“Neelum iravil oru pagalum / Neenda pagalil siru iravummmm”
Contrasts day within night and night within day to express how love distorts and enchants time.
Imagery & Juxtaposition

Juxtaposes harsh natural elements ('puyal, veyil, mazhai') with gentle ones ('maalai, solai') to signify all phases of married life.
