In the beauty of your long tresses,
I live getting completely lost.
Female: In the silent language spoken by your eyes,
Even if I fall, I rise again.

Oh sweet comforting eyes,
Oh matchless maiden,
Your gaze scorches me today.
ஓ தாலாட்டும் கண்ணே
உன் தவறில்லை பெண்ணே

If you grant me love,
And if there is no fault in it,
I will wait for you throughout my lifetime.
நீ காதல் தந்தால்
அதில் பிழை இல்லை என்றால்
என் ஜென்மம் உனக்காக காத்திருப்பேனே
Can't I become your other half?
Won't my soul merge into yours?
Male: Can't I live as your shadow?
Even if my life leaves me, will your heart stay unchanged?
உன் மறுபாதி நானாக கூடாதா
உயிர் உன்னோடு சேராமல் போகாதா
உன் நிழலாக நான் வாழ கூடாதா
என் உயிர் போனாலும் உன் இதயம் மறவாதே
My life, for both of us to become one,
Both our hearts are yearning, aren't they?
Give me your love, my dear love.
உயிரே நாம் இருவரும் சேரவே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is an emotionally charged romantic duet that delves into the vulnerability, longing, and deep spiritual connection between two lovers. It opens with a reflective question about whether love is a flaw or mistake, before evolving into a intimate dialogue of affection, soft physical touch, and emotional devotion. Both lovers express how consumed they are by each other's presence—where a simple glance can burn with passion yet elevate the soul, and hair serves as a realm to get lost in. As the track progresses, the intensity shifts from tentative admiration to profound commitment. They ask to be each other's 'other half' and shadow, expressing a desire for a bond that transcends physical life itself. The theme centers on two yearning hearts seeking complete oneness, affirming that true love is flawless when shared with the right person.
