இதயம் என் இதயம்
உன்னிடத்தில் வந்ததென்ன
உயிரே உன் இதயம்
என்னிடத்தில் வந்ததென்ன
உன் கண்ணுக்குள்ளே வந்தேன் பெண்ணே...
இனி காலம் எல்லாம் உந்தன் பின்னே...
My heart, oh my heart,
Why did it come to you?
My life, your heart,
Why did it come to me?
I entered into your eyes, girl,
From now on, forever I will follow behind you...
அடி என்ன இது என்ன மாயம்
நீ தொட்ட பின்னே இல்லை காயம்
Oh, what magic is this?
Once you touched me, there are no wounds left.
இதயம் என் இதயம்
உன்னிடத்தில் வந்ததென்ன
My heart, oh my heart,
Why did it come to you?
காதல் அது பெண்ணே நூலகம்.....
கண் இமைகள் ரெண்டும் புத்தகம்......
திறந்தேன் படித்தேன்
கவிதைகள் உன்னுள் ஆயிரம்
Love, girl, is a library...
Both eyelids are books...
I opened and read,
A thousand poems inside you.
என்னை நான் மறந்தேன்
விண்ணிலே பறந்தேன்
என்னை அள்ளி தந்தேன் உன்னிடம்
ஒஹ்....ஏதும் இல்லை பெண்ணே என்னிடம்
I forgot myself,
I flew in the sky,
I offered myself completely to you.
Oh... I have nothing left with me, girl.
அடி என்ன இது என்ன மாயம்
நீ தொட்ட பின்னே இல்லை காயம்....
Oh, what magic is this?
Once you touched me, there are no wounds left.
இதயம் என் இதயம்
உன்னிடத்தில் வந்ததென்ன
My heart, oh my heart,
Why did it come to you?
............................
...
உதிரத்தில் காதல் வந்ததே
உறக்கத்தில் உன் பேர் சொன்னதே
அடடா உயிரில்........
மழை வெயில் ரெண்டும் தந்ததே...
Love entered my blood,
It spoke your name in sleep.
Oh my, in my soul...
It gave both rain and sunshine.
எதையோ இழந்தேன்....
எதையோ அடைந்தேன்....
வேறு என்ன கேட்பேன் உன்னிடம்
ஓஒஹோ.......உன் நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே வேண்டும் ஓரிடம்
I lost something,
I gained something,
What else can I ask from you?
Oh... I just need a place inside your heart.
அடி என்ன இது என்ன மாயம்
நீ தொட்ட பின்னே இல்லை காயம்......
Oh, what magic is this?
Once you touched me, there are no wounds left.
இதயம் என் இதயம்
உன்னிடத்தில் வந்ததென்ன
உயிரே உன் இதயம்
என்னிடத்தில் தந்ததென்ன
உன் கண்ணுக்குள்ளே வந்தேன் பெண்ணே...
இனி காலம் எல்லாம் உந்தன் பின்னே...
My heart, oh my heart,
Why did it come to you?
My life, your heart,
Why did it come to me?
I entered into your eyes, girl,
From now on, forever I will follow behind you...
அடி என்ன இது என்ன மாயம்
நீ தொட்ட பின்னே இல்லை காயம்
Oh, what magic is this?
Once you touched me, there are no wounds left.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This romantic song captures the wonder and tender bewilderment of falling deeply in love. The narrator marvels at how his heart seems to have migrated to his partner, while her heart now resides within him. Her gentle touch acts as a healing magic that erases all past pain, giving him a sense of euphoria as if he is flying in the sky. Through poetic imagery, the narrator describes love as a library and her eyes as books filled with endless poetry. Ultimately, he expresses a total surrender of his self to her, seeking nothing more in life than a place within her heart.
