தரையில் நடந்த
நான் வானில் பறக்கிறேன்
உன்னால் தானம்மா
உன்னால் தானம்மா
All I ever had was a single heart
Giving it to you is sheer bliss for me
All I have is a single life
Offering it to you is a blessing for me
இரவாய் இருந்த
நான் பகலாய் மாறினேன்
உன்னால் தானம்மா
உன்னால் தானம்மா
So what if you forget me? So what if you deny me?
You alone are my guiding lamp of light
Forever, you alone are my guiding lamp of light
எனக்கென இருந்தது
ஒரு மனசு அதை உனக்கென
கொடுப்பது சுகம் எனக்கு
எனக்கென இருப்பது ஒரு
உசுரு அதை உனக்கென
தருவது வரம் எனக்கு
Where is that bright moon? (repeated 2 times)
நீ மறந்தால்

நீதான் எந்தன் ஒளி விளக்கு
என்றும் நீதான் எந்தன் ஒளி
விளக்கு

When I get drenched in rain, you come as an umbrella
When I walk in scorching sun, you come as shade
When I say I am thirsty, you come as water
When I am in sorrow, you come as a comforting mother
..................................
Fish swim freely in the rivers
And the river has no pain or choice in that matter
Your memories swim inside my heart
And I have no control or choice in that either
மழையில் நனைகிறேன்
குடையாய் வருகிறாய் வெயிலில்
நடக்கிறேன் நிழலாய் வருகிறாய்
தாகம் என்கிறேன் நீராய் வருகிறாய்
சோகம் என்கிறேன் தாயாய் வருகிறாய்
So what if you stay? So what if you part from me?
Just loving you is enough for me
My love for you is enough for me
நதிகளில் மீன்கள்
நீந்துதம்மா அதில் நதிக்கொரு
வலியும் இல்லையம்மா உன்
நினைவுகள் இதயத்தில் நீந்துதம்மா
அதில் எனக்கொரு வலியும் இல்லையம்மா
Where is that bright moon? (repeated 2 times)
She turned a stone into sweet fruit
She turned thorns into flowers
Where is that bright moon?
நீ இருந்தால்
என்ன பிரிந்தால் என்ன
காதல் எனக்கு போதுமம்மா
என் காதல் எனக்கு போதுமம்மா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Engae Antha Vennila from the movie Varushamellam Vasantham (2002) is a poignant melody expressing deep devotion, heartbreak, and unconditional love. The protagonist searches for his beloved, metaphorically referring to her as the bright moon ('Vennila') who brought transformation into his life—turning his darkness into day and making him feel light enough to fly.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor
“Engae antha vennila”
The beloved is metaphorically envisioned as 'Vennila' (the white bright moon) who brings light into the protagonist's life.
Muran (Antithesis)
“Iravai iruntha naan / Pagalai maarinen”
Contrasting 'Iravu' (night/darkness) with 'Pagal' (day/light) to emphasize how love completely transformed the speaker.
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Kallai kani yaakinaal / Mullai malaraakinaal”
Both lines end with the rhyming suffix '-yaakinaal' and '-malaraakinaal'.
Simile / Analogy
“Nadhigalil meengal neendhuthama... Un ninaivugal idhayathil neendhuthama”
An elegant poetic parallel comparing memories swimming in the heart to fish swimming naturally in a river.
