எந்நாளும் வாழ்விலே
கண்ணான காதலே
என்னென்ன மாற்றமெல்லாம்
காட்டுகின்றாய் ஆசை நெஞ்சிலே
In my life for all time,
Oh precious love, dear as my eyes,
What all changes
do you show in my yearning heart!
எந்நாளும் வாழ்விலே
கண்ணான காதலே
In my life for all time,
Oh precious love, dear as my eyes,
கண்ணாற கண்ட காட்சி
கானல் நீராய் மாறிப்போமோ
என் உள்ளம் கொண்ட இன்பம்
என்னை விட்டு நீங்கிபோமோ
Will the vision seen fully with my eyes
turn into a mirage?
Will the joy that filled my heart
depart and leave me?
கண்ணாற கண்ட காட்சி
கானல் நீராய் மாறிப்போமோ
என் உள்ளம் கொண்ட இன்பம்
என்னை விட்டு நீங்கிபோமோ
Will the vision seen fully with my eyes
turn into a mirage?
Will the joy that filled my heart
depart and leave me?
கண்ணீரே சொந்தமாகும்
காலம் வந்து சேருமோ
கலையாத துயர் மேகம்
என் வாழ்வில் என்றும் சூழுமோ
Will a time arrive when
tears become my only true companion?
Will an undissolving cloud of sorrow
loom over my life forever?
எந்நாளும் வாழ்விலே
கண்ணான காதலே
என்னென்ன மாற்றமெல்லாம்
காட்டுகின்றாய் ஆசை நெஞ்சிலே
In my life for all time,
Oh precious love, dear as my eyes,
What all changes
do you show in my yearning heart!
உன்னாலே எந்தன் உள்ளச் சோலை
மீண்டும் பூத்திடாதோ
என்னாசை அன்பரோடு
என்னைக் காலம் சேர்த்திடாதோ
Because of you, won't the garden of my heart
bloom once again?
With my beloved partner of desire,
won't time unite me?
உன்னாலே எந்தன் உள்ளச் சோலை
மீண்டும் பூத்திடாதோ
என்னாசை அன்பரோடு
என்னைக் காலம் சேர்த்திடாதோ
Because of you, won't the garden of my heart
bloom once again?
With my beloved partner of desire,
won't time unite me?
மின்னாத பொன்னைப்போலே
நானும் இங்கே வாழ்வதா
உனையன்றி துணையின்று
என் வாழ்வில் யாருமில்லையே
Like gold that has lost its shine,
am I destined to live here like this?
Except for you, without any other support,
there is no one else in my life.
எந்நாளும் வாழ்விலே
கண்ணான காதலே
என்னென்ன மாற்றமெல்லாம்
காட்டுகின்றாய் ஆசை நெஞ்சிலே

Oh precious love, dear as my eyes,
What all changes
do you show in my yearning heart!

Unnaiyandri thunaiyindru
Except for you, without any other support,
En vaazhvil yaarum illayae
there is no one else in my life.
Ennaalum vaazhvilae
In my life for all time,
Kannaana kaadhalae
Oh precious love, dear as my eyes,
Ennenna maattramellaam
What all changes
Kaattugindraai aasai nenjilae
do you show in my yearning heart!
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poignant Tamil song expresses the deep pain, longing, and emotional uncertainty of a lover facing separation and heartache. The protagonist reflects on how love, once cherished like one's own eyes, has brought unforeseen emotional shifts and turbulence to their heart. They anxiously question whether the joyful moments they once experienced were mere illusions destined to vanish like a mirage, leaving behind a lifelong cloud of grief.

Poetic devices
Monai (Initial Rhyme / Alliteration)
“Kannaara kanda kaatchi / Kaanal neerai maaripomo”
Repetition of the 'Ka' sound at the beginning of words in adjacent phrases creates a pleasing auditory harmony.
Simile (Uvamaani)
“Minnaadha ponnai polae / Naanum ingae vaazhvadhaa”
The singer compares her dull, sorrowful life to 'minnaadha pon' (unpolished or lustreless gold).
Metaphor (Uruvagaimai)
“Unnaalae endhan ullach solai / Meendum pooththidaadho”
The heart is metaphorically represented as a garden ('ullach solai') waiting to bloom with love again.
