என் விழியின்
கனவு உன் சொந்தம்
இல்லை நீ காணாதே
அதில் பிழை தேடாதே
The dream in my eye
Does not belong to you
Do not look at it - inside it
Do not search for mistakes
என் சிறிய உலகில்
நீ யாரும் இல்லை ஏன்
கேட்காதே அதில் அடி
வைக்காதே
In my small world
You are nobody
Do not ask why - into it
Do not step your foot
என்னுள் நானாய்
பாடும் பாடல் ஒட்டுக்
கேட்பதேன் நெஞ்சுள்
முணுமுணுப்பதேன்
என் வாழ்வை வாழ்வதேன்
The song that sings as myself within me
Why do you eavesdrop on it?
Why do you whisper inside the heart?
Why do you live my life?
எந்தன் பசி எந்தன்
தாகம் கூட உனைக் கேட்டு
வரவேண்டுமா நீ எந்தன் சுவாசமா
My hunger
Even my thirst
Should it come only after asking you?
Are you my breath?
மீண்டும் மீண்டும்
என் மேல் பூ வீசிப் போகிறாய்
ஏதோ நீ சொல்லப் பாா்க்கிறாயோ
Again and again upon me
You throw flowers and walk away
Are you trying to say something?
ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்
ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்
Mmmm... mmm... mmm
Mmmm... mmm... mmm
எந்தன் கண்ணில்
உந்தன் கண்ணீா் நான் ஏந்த
முயல்கின்றேன்
In my eyes
Your tears
I am holding
Trying to receive
உன் சோகம்
என் நெஞ்சில் ஏந்திப்
போகிறேன் அது ஏனடா
Your sorrow
In my heart
I carry away
Why is that, my dear?
நான் ஏன்
நீயாகிறேன் ஆயினும்
நான் நானே என்னில்
உனைக் காணத்தானே
நீயானேனே நானே
Why am I becoming you?
Yet, I am myself...
Only to see you within myself
Did I become you?
Myself...
ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்

Mmmm... mmm... mmm
Mmmm... mmm... mmm
அருகே நீ தூரமாய்
தினமும் கொன்றாயடி
யாா் யாரோ நாம் என்றாயடி
Though near, you were far away
Every day you killed me
Saying we are mere strangers
நெஞ்சைக் கொட்டி
நான் தீா்த்தேன் கேளாமல்...
நீ சென்றாய் என் மேல் காதல்
தோன்றாதா பேசாமல் நீ வதைக்கிறாய்
I poured my heart out completely
Without listening, you walked away
Does love not bloom for me?
Without speaking, you torment me
என் காதல்...
நீ காண... மாட்டாயா
மாட்டாயா
My love... to see it...
Will you not... will you not...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song explores the delicate transition from self-preservation to deep emotional intimacy between two lovers. Initially, one partner fiercely defends their personal space, asking the other not to trespass into their dreams, life choices, or inner thoughts. However, despite these boundaries, a profound emotional bond begins to take hold, causing their joy and sorrow to merge until they realize they have become reflections of each other.
