எனதுயிரே……
நிகழும் நொடி போதுமே
எனதுயிரே……
நிகழும் நொடி போதுமே
நிகழும் நொடியின் ஆழம்
முழுதும் உணரப் பார்க்கிறேன்
மனதில் பரவும் மௌனம்
அதிலே மிதக்கப் பார்க்கிறேன்
My precious life...
This present moment alone is enough.
My precious life...
This present moment alone is enough.
The depth of this present moment,
I try to feel in its complete entirety.
The silence spreading across my mind,
I try to float upon it.
யார் புன்னகை
யார் கண்ணிலே
என் புன்னகை
உன் கண்ணில் நான் கண்டேன்
போய் வா என் காதலே
Whose smile...
In whose eyes...
My own smile...
I saw reflected inside your eyes.
Farewell, my love.
எனதுயிரே… உயிரே
இன்னும் நீண்டிடு
எனதுயிரே… உயிரே
உன்னைக் கேட்கிறேன்
My life... my soul...
Extend a little longer...
My life... my soul...
I plead this of you...
எனதுயிரே…
நிகழும் நொடி போதுமே
My precious life...
This present moment alone is enough.
Enadhuyirae…
My precious life...
Nigazhum nodi podhumae
This present moment alone is enough.
Enadhuyirae…
My precious life...
Nigazhum nodi podhumae
This present moment alone is enough.
Nigazhum nodiyin aazham
The depth of this present moment,
Muzhudum unara paarkiren
I try to feel in its complete entirety.
Manadhil paravum mounam
The silence spreading across my mind,
Adhilae midhakka paarkiren
I try to float upon it.
Yaar punnagai…
Whose smile...
Yaar kannilae…
In whose eyes...
En punnagai…
My own smile...
Un kannil naan kanden
I saw reflected inside your eyes.
Poi vaa en kaadhalae
Farewell, my love.
Enadhuyirae… uyirae
My life... my soul...
Innum neendidu…

Enadhuyirae…
My precious life...
Nigazhum nodi podhumae
This present moment alone is enough.
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation

“Nigazhum nodiyin aazham”
Repetition of 'Nigazhum nodi' at the start of consecutive lines creates a rhythmic emphasis on staying anchored in the present moment.

“Adhilae midhakka paarkiren”
The spreading silence in the mind ('mounam') is depicted as a fluid medium or atmosphere upon which one can float ('midhakka').
Refrain
“Enadhuyirae…”
The evocative call 'Enadhuyirae' serves as a emotional anchor throughout the lyrics, expressing intense attachment to both life and love.
