தினம் தினமும் உன் நெனப்பு
வளைக்கிறதே என்னைத் தொலைக்கிறதே
Every single day, thoughts of you
Surround me and make me lose myself.
தினம் தினமும் உன் நெனப்பு
வளைக்கிறதே என்னைத் தொலைக்கிறதே
கனம் கனமும் என இழுத்து
படுத்துற பாடு பொறுக்கலியே
Every single day, thoughts of you
Surround me and make me lose myself.
Dragging me every single moment,
The suffering it causes is unbearable.
வெளியே வரவும் வழியில்லை
உள்ளுக்குள்ள துடிப்பும் கணக்கில்லை
வெளியே வரவும் வழியில்லை
உள்ளுக்குள்ள துடிப்பும் கணக்கில்லை
There is no way to come out,
And the throbbing inside is immeasurable.
There is no way to come out,
And the throbbing inside is immeasurable.
தினம் தினமும் உன் நெனப்பு
வளைக்கிறதே என்னைத் தொலைக்கிறதே
தினம் தினமும் ....ம்ம்ம்..
Every single day, thoughts of you
Surround me and make me lose myself.
Every single day... mmm...
முதன் முதலா பார்வை பட்ட நேர்த்திலே
இதம் இதமா என்ன குயிலு கூவியதே
At the moment our eyes met for the very first time,
Gently and pleasantly, a cuckoo bird sang within me.
கவனமில்லே ஏதோ என்ன திருத்தியதே
எங்கிருந்தோ கேட்டதெல்லாம் இசையாச்சே
ஒரு வலைக்குள்ளே மனம் விழுந்ததுவே
அந்த சுழல விட்டு வெளிய வரவில்லையே
Something altered my thoughts and attention,
Everything heard from anywhere turned into music.
My heart fell into a net of love,
And it could not come out of that whirlpool.
என் பாட்டதான் அடி நீ பாடுற
என் வார்த்த எனக்காக்குற
Hey girl, you are singing my song,
Making my words your own.
ஒட்டிகிட்டு சிட்டு ரெண்டு
ஒண்ண சுத்தி ஒண்ணு வர
முத்து மழை வானம் கொட்டும் இதமாக
Like two sparrows clinging together,
Circling around one another,
As a rain of pearls falls pleasantly from the sky.
தினம் தினமும் உன் நெனப்பு
வளைக்கிறதே என்னைத் தொலைக்கிறதே
தினம் தினமும் உன் நெனப்பு
Every single day, thoughts of you
Surround me and make me lose myself.
Every single day, thoughts of you...
காத்திருப்பேன் நீ நடக்கும்
வழி பாத்து
காத் அசஞ்சா குதிக்கும்
மனம் அடங்காது
I will wait, watching the path
Where you walk.
Even if the breeze sways, my heart leaps,
It refuses to be quieted.
வாசலிலே கோலம் மேல பூ போல
ஒண்ண பார்த்தா தவிப்பு அடங்கும் படுத்தாது
நான் தனிச்சிருக்கேன் உள்ளம் தவிச்சிருக்கேன்
உன் குளிர் முகத்தால் அத தடுத்திருக்கேன்
Like a flower resting upon the doorstep rangoli,
Seeing you calms my yearning and stops troubling me.
I am alone, my heart is longing,
I pacify it with the comfort of your cool face.
நமக்காக தான் பூமி
உருண்டோடுதா
பகலோடு இரவாகுதா
Is the earth spinning around
Just for the two of us?
Does the day turn into night for our sake?
நட்சத்திரம் கண்சிமிட்ட
கிட்ட வந்து கட்டி கொண்டு
தோளில் தலை சாய்க்க வேண்டும் இதமாக
As the stars twinkle in the sky,
Coming close and holding you tight,
I wish to rest my head comfortably on your shoulder.
தினம் தினமும் உன் நெனப்பு
வளைக்கிறதே என்னைத் தொலைக்கிறதே
கனம் கனமும் என இழுத்து
படுத்துற பாடு பொறுக்கலியே
வெளியே வரவும் வழியில்லை
உள்ளுக்குள்ள துடிப்பும் கணக்கில்லை
வெளியே வரவும் வழியில்லை
உள்ளுக்குள்ள துடிப்பும் கணக்கில்லை
Every single day, thoughts of thoughts of you
Surround me and make me lose myself.
Dragging me every single moment,
The suffering it causes is unbearable.
There is no way to come out,
And the throbbing inside is immeasurable.
தினம் தினமும் உம்ம்ம் ....
There is no way to come out,
And the throbbing inside is immeasurable.
Every single day... mmm...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Dhinam Dhinamum Un Nenappu' from Viduthalai Part 2 is a deeply expressive romantic song composed and written by Isaignani Ilaiyaraaja. The song captures the intense longing, emotional depth, and sweet agonizing burden of constant thoughts about one's beloved. The lyrics convey how love ensnares the mind like a soft trap or whirlpool, turning ordinary ambient sounds into music and making time itself revolve around the lovers. In the second half, the emotion expands into themes of patient waiting, peaceful solace upon seeing the partner, and a cosmic sense of oneness where nature itself seems to exist solely for their love. Ilaiyaraaja's composition blends folk melody elements with orchestral grandeur, accentuating the raw, intimate passion expressed in the lyrics.
