நீ விழியால்
விழியை பறித்தாய்
உன் உயிரினை
எனக்குள்ளே விதைத்தாய்
With your eyes,
You snatched away my eyes.
Your very soul,
You sowed inside me.
உன் அழகால்
எனை நீ அடித்தாய்
ஓர் அதிசய உலகத்தில்
அடைத்தாய்
With your beauty,
You struck me down.
Inside a miraculous
World, you imprisoned me.
நீ இதமாய்
இதயம் கடித்தாய் (கடித்தாய்)
என் இதழ் சொட்டும் அருவியில்
குளித்தாய் (குளித்தாய்)
Gently and tenderly,
You bit my heart.
Dripping from my lips,
You bathed in the waterfall.
நீ மதுவாய்
எனையே குடித்தாய்
இந்த உலகத்தை
உடைத்திட துடித்தாய்
Like sweet wine,
You drank me up.
To shatter this world,
You yearned deeply.

நடந்தால் கடந்தால்
என் உணர்ச்சிகள்
தீப்பிடித்து எரியும்
If you walk softly
And cross my path,
My emotions
Will catch fire and burn..
ஹேய் நீ துளியாய்
எனக்குள் விழுந்தால்
என் உயிர் பனிக்கட்டியாக
உறையும்
Hey.. if you fall inside me
Like a tiny drop,
My life
Will freeze into an ice cube.
நீ இயல்பாய்
அழைத்தால் சிரித்தால்
(சிரித்தால்) என் உள்ளம்
வந்து மண்டியிட்டு தவளும்

If you naturally
Call out or smile,
My heart comes
Kneeling down and crawling.
நீ நெருப்பாய்
முறைத்தால் தகித்தால்
என் நெஞ்சிக்குள்ளே
கப்பல் ஒன்று கவிழும்
If like fire
You glare and scorch,
Inside my chest,
A ship will capsize.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Naan Solvadhellam Unmai' from the film Dishyum (2006) is a playful, hyperbolically romantic track composed by Vijay Antony with lyrics written by Vairamuthu. The protagonist playfully swears that natural phenomena—such as daylight, morning dew, ocean waves, and rain—occur solely because of his lover's everyday routines like waking up, washing her face, brushing her teeth, and hugging him.
