I swear that all I say is the truth,
and nothing but the truth.
All the light on this earth
is because you open your eyes.
The dew drops on the flowers
are because you wash your face.
All the foam across the ocean
is because you brush your teeth.
The rain that poured this morning
happened because you held me close.
Lingulekku lingulekku

All the light on this earth
is because you open your eyes.
The dew drops on the flowers
are because you wash your face.
All the foam across the ocean
is because you brush your teeth.
The rain that poured this morning
happened because you held me close.
Olema olema...
Lekkamekkale lekkamekkale
Olema... olema...
Lele... laale... lele laale
With your eyes,
you captured my gaze.
Your very soul,
you sowed inside me.
With your beauty,
you struck me down,
and locked me away
inside a world of wonders.
So tenderly,
you took a bite of my heart. (bit it)
In the stream dripping from my lips,
you bathed. (bathed)
Like sweet wine,
you drank me all up,
and to break this world apart,
your heart yearned with passion.
Once the right time arrives,
attach yourself to me, my wings!
Neither a sky nor an earth
will we ever need again.
If two willing souls
embrace and take flight together,
even the distant sky
is not far away at all.
All the light on this earth
is because you open your eyes.
The dew drops on the flowers
are because you wash your face.
All the foam across the ocean
is because you brush your teeth.
The rain that poured this morning
happened because you held me close.
Aaaa... aa... aahh...
If you slowly
pass by or walk past,
all my feelings
catch fire and burn...
Hey... if you fall
inside me like a drop,
my very soul
freezes solid like ice.
If you simply
call out or smile, (smile)
my heart comes running
and crawls on its knees before you. (crawls)
If like a blazing fire
you glare and burn with anger,
deep inside my chest,
a ship capsizes and sinks.
Fireflies in your eyes,
a symphony in your smile,
you are the younger sister of lightning—
now I truly understand!
Melting the moment it is touched,
clinging close and growing fond,
a brand-new playful
creature reveals itself!
All the light on this earth
is because you open your eyes.
The dew drops on the flowers
are because you wash your face.
All the foam across the ocean
is because you brush your teeth.
The rain that poured this morning
happened because you held me close.

Overall song meaning
'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.
