எனது உயிரை பார்கிறேன்
நான் கடவுள் இருப்பாய் உணர்கிறேன்
உன் காலடி தடங்கல்தான்
என் வாழ்க்கை ஆகின்றதோ
I am looking at my life
I feel the existence of God
Are your footprints alone
Becoming my life?
உனது நிழலாய் தொடருவேன்
உன் இதயம் முழுவதும் படருவேன்
உன் உடம்பிலே உதிரமாகி
உயிரில் கலப்பேனோ
I will follow as your shadow
I will spread across your entire heart
Becoming blood inside your body
Will I blend into your life force?
உன் மூச்சு காற்றினையே
நாள் தோறும் சுவாசிப்பேன்
Only your breath of air
I will breathe every single day
என் இதய ஓசையினை
உன் மார்பில் கேட்கின்றேன்
The sound of my heartbeat
I hear against your chest
நிழலுக்கு புது வண்ணங்கள்
நீ தீட்டி செல்கின்றாய்
New colors upon a shadow
You paint and walk away
விழிகள் எனது பார்வை உனக்கு
வானவில்லால் நிரப்புவேன்
The eyes are mine, but my sight is for you
I will fill it with a rainbow
செவிகள் உனது ஓசை எனது
தமிழில் மந்திரம் ஊதுவேன்
The ears are yours, but the sound is mine
I will chant mantras in Tamil
மத்த காதலை மேகமாக்கி
உன் மனதில் மழையாய் பொழிவேனே
Turning all our love into a cloud
I will shower like rain upon your heart
அதில் பூத்த பூக்களை
தொடுத்து உனக்கு படுக்கையாக பகிர்வேனே
The flowers that bloomed from it
I will weave together and share as a bed for you
ஓ.....வேண்டும் வேண்டும்
உனது நெருக்கம்
அதுவே எனது ஜென்ம மோட்சம்
Ooh... I want, I want
Your closeness
That alone is my lifetime's ultimate salvation
உனது உயிரை எனது வயிற்றில்
சுமக்க வரம் வேண்டும்
Your life inside my womb
I need a boon to carry
நடக்க பாதை கேட்டாலே நீ
ரெக்கை முளைக்க செய்கிறாய்
When I ask for a path to walk, you
Make wings sprout on me
பறக்க சிறகை விரித்தால்
நான் வானின் எல்லையை நீட்டுவேன்
When I spread my wings to fly
I will extend the boundaries of the sky
ஜென்ம ஜென்ம பந்தமே
வரும் ஜென்மங்களும் தொடருமா
Is this a bond across lifetimes?
Will it continue into upcoming births too?
வாழ பூமி போதுமா
இல்லை வேறு கிரகம் வேண்டுமா
Is this earth enough for us to live?
Or do we need another planet?
போதும் போதும் உனது இதயம்
அதுவே எனது ஈர் ஏழு உலகம்
Enough, enough, your heart is enough
That alone is my fourteen worlds
எனது மரணம் உனது மடியில்
நிகழ வரம் வேண்டும்
My death upon your lap
I need a boon for it to happen
உனது நிழலாய் தொடருவேன்
உன் இதயம் முழுவதும் படருவேன்
உன் உடம்பிலே உதிரமாகி
உயிரில் கலப்பேனோ
I will follow as your shadow
I will spread across your entire heart
Becoming blood inside your body
Will I blend into your life force?
எனது உயிரை பார்கிறேன்
நான் கடவுள் இருப்பாய் உணர்கிறேன்
உன் காலடி தடங்கல்தான்

உன் மார்பில் கேட்கின்றேன்
The sound of my heartbeat
I hear against your chest
அகத்திலும் என் புறத்திலும்
நீ யாதுமாகின்றாய்......ஆஅ.....ஆ....
ஆஅ.....ஆஅ......ஆஅ.....ஆஅ.....ஆ.....ஓ.....
In my inner self and my outer world
You become everything….aaa….aa…
Aaa….aaa….aaa…aaa….aa…ooh…

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a deeply emotional and spiritual expression of intense love and complete devotion. The speaker views their beloved not merely as a partner, but as a divine manifestation of God itself. Every aspect of their existence—from breathing to their inner and outer world—is intertwined with the lover. The narrative moves through expressions of physical and emotional closeness, the desire to carry the beloved's child, and the willingness to surrender completely, seeking ultimate salvation ('jenma motcham') in the lover's presence. The emotional arc elevates the relationship to cosmic proportions. The speaker describes how love grants them wings to expand the sky itself and questions whether the Earth is large enough to contain such passion. Ultimately, the song culminates in a state of absolute surrender, where the lover becomes everything inside ('agam') and outside ('puram'), and dying on the lover's lap is seen as the ultimate spiritual blessing.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uruvagakani)
“Athuvae enadhu eer ezhu ulagam”
The lover's heart is directly equated to the 'eer ezhu ulagam' (fourteen worlds / entire universe).
Muran (Antithesis)
“Agathilum en purathilum”
Uses opposing Tamil concepts—'Agam' (interior/soul) and 'Puram' (exterior/physical world)—to depict complete omnipresence.
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Unadhu nizhalaai thodaruven / Un idhayam muzhudhum padaruven”
The lines end with matching rhyming suffixes ('thodaruven' and 'padaruven').
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navitchi Ani)
“Naan vaanin ellaiyai neetuven”
Exaggerates the power of love, claiming the speaker can stretch the very boundaries of the sky when flying.
Monai (Initial Rhyme / Alliteration)
“Jenma jenma bandhama / Varum jenmangalum thodarumaa”
Repetition of the 'J' consonant sound in 'Jenma' across adjacent phrases creates melodic rhythm.
