இரு கண்கள்
பேசும் வேலை காதல்
சொன்ன வார்த்தையில்
காதலான ஆசைகள்
உள்ளம் எங்கும் கூடுதே
When two eyes speak to each other...
In the words that conveyed love...
Desires turned into love
Are gathering all over my heart...
உன்னை நானும்
சேரும் காலம் என்று
வந்து கூடுமோ அந்த
சொர்கம் காணவே
மௌனம் ஆகி
தேய்கிறேன்
The time when I will unite with you
When will that day arrive...
Just to see that paradise
I am eroding away in silence...
என் சுவாசமே
என் சுவாசமே ஒரு
முறை தாலாட்டிட
தென்றலாகி வா வா
My breath... my breath...
To sing a lullaby once
Come as the gentle breeze, come
என் சுவாசமே
என் சுவாசமே ஒரு
முறை தாலாட்டிட
வெண்ணிலவே நீ வா
My breath... my breath...
To sing a lullaby once
Oh moonlight, please come...
உன்னில் என்னை
காண்பதே என்னில் உன்னை
காண்பதே காரணங்கள்
கேட்ட போது நேசம்
என்னிடம்
Seeing myself in you...
Seeing you in myself...
When asking for reasons
Affection tells me...
கூறுகின்ற
வார்த்தையில் நான்
அறிந்த சொந்தங்கள்
நூறு கோடி ஜென்மம்
எந்தன் கண்ணில்
தோன்றுதே
In the words it speaks
The relationships I have known
A hundred crore lifetimes
Appear before my eyes...
ஆஹா ஆஹா
Aaahaa.......aaaahaaaa...
ஒவ்வொரு
துடிப்பும் உந்தன்
சுவாசமாய் ஒவ்வொரு
விழிப்பும் உந்தன்
காணலாய்
Every heartbeat
Becoming your breath...
Every gaze
Becoming a vision of you...
மாற்றி சென்ற
அந்த பெண்மை எந்த
தேவதை எங்கு என்று
நானும் தேட உன்னில்
காண்கிறேன் உன்னில்
காண்கிறேன் அவளை
உன்னில் காண்கிறேன்
That womanhood who transformed me and left
Which angel is she?
As I search for where she is
I see her in you... I see her in you...
I see her in you..
உண்மை காதலும்
இன்று என்றும் மறைந்திடுமா
நீ எங்கு சென்றாலும் நிலவாக
நான் வருவேன் இரவில்
தோன்றும் அந்த மென்மையான
நேரத்தில்
Can true love today
Ever disappear forever..
Wherever you go..
I will come as the moon..
Appearing in the night
In that gentle time
உன்னில் என்னை
காண்பதே என்னில் உன்னை
காண்பதே காரணங்கள்
கேட்ட போது நேசம்
என்னிடம்
Seeing myself in you...
Seeing you in myself...
When asking for reasons

Poetic devices
Chiasmus / Parallelism
“Unnil ennai kaanbathae… / Ennil unnai kaanbathae..”

Anaphora (Adukku Thodaru)
“En swasamae…en swasamae..”
The repetition of 'En swasamae' emphasizes deep affection and breathless emotional dependence.
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navortchi)
“Nooru kodi jenmam”
'Nooru kodi jenmam' (a hundred crore lifetimes) hyperbolically stresses the eternal depth of their bond.
Metaphor / Personification
“Thendralaagi vaa vaa”
Inviting the lover to become the gentle breeze ('Thendralaagi vaa vaa') and the moon ('Nilavaaga naan varuven') uses natural metaphors for comfort and eternal presence.
