| Ninaithaalum mudivathillai | Is impossible even if one tries to think |
| Male | |
| Enakullae nee irukka | With you living inside me |
| Unakullae naan irukka | And me living inside you |
| Ninaikaamal marappadharkku | To forget without even thinking |
| Ninaithaalum mudivathillai | Is impossible even if one tries to think |
| Male | |
| Un kannil padukkindra | Everything that catches your eyes |
| Vovondrum en uruvam | Reflects my form each time |
| Un kannil padukkindra | Everything that catches your eyes |
| Vovondrum en uruvam | Reflects my form each time |
| En kannil nilaithirukkum | That which permanently stays in my eyes |
| Endrendrum un uruvam | Is forever your beautiful form |

| Thanneerai kudithaalum | Even after drinking water |
| Thaniyaadha thaagam andro | Isn't this an unquenchable thirst? |
| Ennuyiril unnuyirum | When my soul and your soul |
| Inaidhu vittaal theerum andro | Are bound together, won't it be quenched? |

| Inba thunbam iruvarukkum | Joy and sorrow for both of us |
| Irudhi varai sari paadhi | Are shared equally until the very end |

எனக்குள்ளே நீயிருக்க
உனக்குள்ளே நானிருக்க
நினைக்காமல் மறப்பதற்கு
நினைத்தாலும் முடிவதில்லை....
With you living inside me
And me living inside you
To forget without even thinking
Is impossible even if one tries to think
எனக்குள்ளே நீயிருக்க
உனக்குள்ளே நானிருக்க
நினைக்காமல் மறப்பதற்கு
நினைத்தாலும் முடிவதில்லை.
With you living inside me
And me living inside you
To forget without even thinking
Is impossible even if one tries to think
உன் கண்ணில் படுகின்ற
ஒவ்வொன்றும் என் உருவம்
என் கண்ணில் நிலைத்திருக்கும்
என்றென்றும் உன் உருவம்
Everything that catches your eyes
Reflects my form each time
Everything that catches your eyes
Reflects my form each time
That which permanently stays in my eyes
Is forever your beautiful form
தண்ணீரை குடித்தாலும்
தணியாத தாகமன்றோ
என்னுயிரில் உன்னுயிரும்
இணைந்து விட்டால் தீருமன்றோ.....
Even after drinking water
Isn't this an unquenchable thirst?
When my soul and your soul
Are bound together, won't it be quenched?
எனக்குள்ளே நீயிருக்க
உனக்குள்ளே நானிருக்க
நினைக்காமல் மறப்பதற்கு
நினைத்தாலும் முடிவதில்லை.
With you living inside me
And me living inside you
To forget without even thinking
Is impossible even if one tries to think
எனக்குள்ளே நீயிருக்க
உனக்குள்ளே நானிருக்க
நினைக்காமல் மறப்பதற்கு
நினைத்தாலும் முடிவதில்லை
Even if the doors of a physical room
Are locked tight with a bolt
Even if the doors of a physical room
Are locked tight with a bolt
The precious jeweled door of the private room
Called the human mind will stay open
தனியறையின் கதவுகளை
தாழ்ப்போட்டு அடைத்தாலும்
மனமென்னும் தனியறையின்
மணிக்கதவு திறந்திருக்கும்
You are one half in my body
I am one half in your body
Joy and sorrow for both of us
Are shared equally until the very end
என் உடலில் நீ பாதி
உன் உடலில் நான் பாதி
இன்ப துன்பம் இருவருக்கும்
இறுதிவரை சரி பாதி..........
With you living inside me
And me living inside you
To forget without even thinking
Is impossible even if one tries to think
எனக்குள்ளே நீயிருக்க
உனக்குள்ளே நானிருக்க
நினைக்காமல் மறப்பதற்கு
நினைத்தாலும் முடிவதில்லை
Enakullae nee irukka
With you living inside me
Unakullae naan irukka
And me living inside you
Ninaikaamal marappadharkku
To forget without even thinking
Ninaithaalum mudivathillai
Is impossible even if one tries to think
Enakullae nee irukka
With you living inside me
Unakullae naan irukka
And me living inside you
Ninaikaamal marappadharkku
To forget without even thinking
Ninaithaalum mudivathillai
Is impossible even if one tries to think
Un kannil padukkindra
Everything that catches your eyes
Vovondrum en uruvam
Reflects my form each time
Un kannil padukkindra
Everything that catches your eyes
Vovondrum en uruvam
Reflects my form each time
En kannil nilaithirukkum
That which permanently stays in my eyes
Endrendrum un uruvam
Is forever your beautiful form
Thanneerai kudithaalum
Even after drinking water
Thaniyaadha thaagam andro
Isn't this an unquenchable thirst?
Ennuyiril unnuyirum
When my soul and your soul
Inaidhu vittaal theerum andro
Are bound together, won't it be quenched?

With you living inside me
Unakullae naan irukka
And me living inside you
Ninaikaamal marappadharkku

Thaazhpottu adaithaalum

Poetic devices
Ethugai (Second Letter Rhyme)
“Enakullae nee irukka / Unakullae naan irukka”
The second consonant sound 'na' (n) rhymes across both lines, creating a rhythmic harmony characteristic of Tamil poetry.
Metaphor
“Manamennum thani araiyin”
The mind is metaphorically described as a private, intimate chamber ('thani arai').
Muran (Antithesis)
“Inba thunbam iruvarukkum”
The pairing of opposite words 'Inbam' (Joy) and 'Thunbam' (Sorrow) highlights the complete sharing of life's ups and downs.
