என்தாரா என்தாரா
நீயே என் தாரா என் மனம்
பூத்ததே தாரா கண்பூரா
கண்பூரா நீயே தான் தாரா
கண்ணாளே காண்கிறேன் பூரா
My star, my star, you alone are my star!
My heart has blossomed, my star!
In my entire vision, you alone fill my eyes like a star!
Through my eyes, I see everything in completion.
தண்ணீரை கூசிக்கொண்டு
மெல்ல செல்லும் பிம்பங்கள்
நீயாகிறாய் எதிரே என்னோடு
காதல் வந்து என்ன சொல்ல
வெட்கங்கள் பேசுதே
Yours, completely yours, I am your star!
My sky has blossomed, my beloved!
In my entire vision, you alone are my brave heart.
My gaze has become sharp and mesmerized.
உன்தாரா உன்தாரா
நானே உன்தாரா என் வானம்
பூத்ததே சீரா கண்பூரா கண்பூரா
நீயே தான் வீரா என் பாா்வை
ஆனதே கூரா
Why today, oh why?
Am I truly yours?
Is it you, or is it me?
Are we really existing as 'us'?
தண்ணீரை கூசிக்கொண்டு
மெல்ல செல்லும் பிம்பங்கள்
நீயாகிறாய் எதிரே என்னோடு
காதல் வந்து என்ன சொல்ல
வெட்கங்கள் பேசுதே
Are you a fishing hook, or are you a swing?
Male: Are you a gentle drizzle, or a mirage?
Female: You brought a unique, divine silence with you,
My words have been lost in it.
In a non-existent town, under an unspoken name,
Male: Our love shall live on.
Oh, our love shall live on!
ஏனோ இன்று
ஏனோ நான் உந்தன்
நானோ நீயோ இல்லை
நானோ நாம் என்னும் நாமோ
With your movement, you made all my directions flutter with excitement.
You held fireflies trapped within your eyes.
Upon my eyelids, you draped my nights...
...with immense warmth.
When you winked your eyes, you poured down white moonlight.
தூண்டிலா
நீ ஊஞ்சலா
தூரலா நீ காணலா
ப்ரத்யோக மௌனம்
நீ கொண்டு வந்தாய் என்
வாா்த்தை ஆனதே இல்லாத
ஊாில் இல்லாத போில்
நம் காதல் வாழுமே
ஹோய் நம் காதல் வாழுமே
You bestowed a cosmic, cosmic time upon me and left,
My ordinary days have come to an end.
உன் அசைவினில்
என் திசைகளை பட படவென
தந்தாய் மின்மினிகளை உன்
விழிகளில் கொண்டாய் கண்
இமைகளில் என் இரவினை
கத கதப்புடன் தந்தாய் கண்
அவிழ்கையில் வீண் நிலவொளி
தந்தாய்
My star, my star, you alone are my star!
My heart has blossomed, my star!
In my entire vision, you alone fill my eyes like a star!
Through my eyes, I see everything in completion.
பிரம்மாண்ட காலம்
நீ தந்து சென்றாய் என் நாட்கள்
தீா்ந்ததே உன் காதல் சூட்டில்
என் காதல் பூக்கும் நம் தேடல் தீருமே
Walking gently, treading shyly upon the water,
You become the reflections floating right before me.
Love came over me, what can I say?
Male: Soft blushes do all the talking!
என்தாரா என்தாரா
நீயே என் தாரா என் மனம்
பூத்ததே தாரா கண்பூரா
கண்பூரா நீயே தான் தாரா
கண்ணாளே காண்கிறேன் பூரா

நீயாகிறாய் எதிரே என்னோடு

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Enthaaraa Enthaaraa' from the movie 'Thirumanam Ennum Nikkah' is a dreamy, romantic duet expressing the ethereal feeling of falling deeply in love. The song captures a sensory overload where the lovers question their own identity and reality ('Is it you or is it me?'). The lyrics play on poetic dualities—comparing the lover to a hook vs. a swing, a drizzle vs. a mirage—illustrating how love creates both sweet agony and comforting joy. Narratively, the song highlights how love transcends physical boundaries and social conventions, surviving in an imaginary, pure realm ('In a non-existent town, under an unspoken name'). Through rich poetic imagery involving fireflies, moonlight, fluttering horizons, and silent reflections on water, the song depicts the transformative power of romance, turning mundane existence into a cosmic experience.

Metaphor
“Minminigalai un vizhigalail kondaai”
The lover's bright, twinkling eyes are poetically compared directly to fireflies ('minminigal').
Contrast / Antithesis (Muran)
“Thoondilaaa nee oonjalaa / Thooralaa nee kaanalaaa”

Personification
“Vetkkangal pesudhae”
Shyness/blushing ('vetkkam') is personified as an entity capable of speaking when words fail.
