என் வானம் நீ
என் வான தூறல் நீ
என் வேரும் நீ
என் வேரின் ஈரம் நீ
You are my sky
You are the drizzle from my sky
You are my root
You are the moisture in my root
ஆளில்லாத ஊரில்
ஓடி பாய்ந்திடும்
ஆற்று நீருக்கேது
சொந்த பந்தமே
என் யாவும் நீ
In a deserted town
That flows rapidly
For river water, what
Kinship or relationship is there?
You are my everything
என் வானம் நீ
என் வான தூறல் நீ
என் வேரும் நீ
என் வேரின் ஈரம் நீ
You are my sky
You are the drizzle from my sky
You are my root
You are the moisture in my root
பூஞ்சிரிப்பை புழுதியிலே
எரிந்து விட்ட பாதகன் நான்
உயிர் சிலுவை சுமந்து கொண்டு
நடை பினமாய் நான் அலைய
A gentle flower-like smile into the dust
I am the sinner who threw it away
Carrying the cross of my soul
As I wander like a walking corpse
பச்சை நாத்து போல கூட வந்த
பாவி உன்ன கண்ணீரில் மூழ்க விட்டேன்
காதலின் சாபங்கள் தீர்ந்து போகுமா
இனி மேலும் தொடருமா.....காலமே....
Who came along like a fresh green sapling
I, a sinner, drowned you in tears
Will the curses of love ever end?
Will it continue further... O Time?
என் வானம் நீ
என் வான தூறல் நீ
என் வேரும் நீ
என் வேரின் ஈரம் நீ
You are my sky
You are the drizzle from my sky
You are my root
You are the moisture in my root
காடிழந்த யானை இன்று
யாசகித்து போனதென்ன
நாடிழந்த ராஜன் இன்று
நாதியற்று வீழ்வதென்ன
An elephant that lost its forest, today
Why has it turned into a beggar?
A king who lost his kingdom, today
Why has he fallen helpless?
உன் ஈர முத்தம்
என் ஆயுள் பசியை ஆற்றும்
உன் வேர்வை வாசம்
என் வாழ்வை முழுமை ஆக்கும்
காலத்தின் ஓட்டங்கள் இருளில் மூழ்குமா
இல்லை ஒளியை தீண்டுமா....கூறடி
Your wet kiss
Quenches my lifelong hunger
The scent of your sweat
Completes my life
Will the flow of time drown in darkness?
Or will it touch the light? Tell me, please...
என் வானம் நீ
என் வான தூறல் நீ
என் வேரும் நீ
என் வேரின் ஈரம் நீ
You are my sky
You are the drizzle from my sky
You are my root
You are the moisture in my root
ஆளில்லாத ஊரில்
ஓடி பாய்ந்திடும்
ஆற்று நீருக்கேது
சொந்த பந்தமே
என் யாவும் நீ
In a deserted town
That flows rapidly
For river water, what
Kinship or relationship is there?
You are my everything

Poonjiripai puzhuthiyile
A gentle flower-like smile into the dust
Yerinthu vitta paadhagan naan
I am the sinner who threw it away
Uyir siluvai sumandhu kondu
Carrying the cross of my soul
Nadai pinamaai naan alaiya
As I wander like a walking corpse
Pacha naathu pola kooda vandha
Who came along like a fresh green sapling
Paavi unna kanneeril moozhga vitten
I, a sinner, drowned you in tears

Will the flow of time drown in darkness?
Illai oliyai theenduma..kooradi
Or will it touch the light? Tell me, please...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from 'Bottle Radha' is a poignant, emotion-drenched expression of remorse, deep love, and existential despair. The speaker addresses their beloved as the core foundation of their life—comparing her to the sky, gentle rain, roots, and essential moisture. Overwhelmed by guilt for causing pain to someone as innocent as a tender sapling, the protagonist views themselves as a tragic sinner wandering aimlessly like a walking corpse. Through metaphors of displaced kings and landless elephants, the lyrics highlight the protagonist's severe fall from grace and emotional destitution. Despite the lingering despair and uncertain future, the speaker continues to find life's true completion and solace in the memory and presence of their beloved's affection.
