Look, inside this heart of mine,
there is only one home.
This only home inside
is all for you to live in...
I lit a lamp from the flame of my life...
I dissolved myself and poured it out as oil...
Look, inside this heart of mine,
there is only one home.
This only home inside
is all for you to live in...
I lit a lamp from the flame of my life...
I dissolved myself and poured it out as oil...
I divided my life into two halves,
and gave you one whole half of it.
Female: I took half of your life,
and gave you the whole of mine...
Science says
that everything must end,
but my wisdom says
our love will never end.
For as long as time itself lives on,
the reach of our love will endure.
Male: My arms will reach out to hold you,
and look over you without ever blinking...

...
Opening my heart,
you made it a garden of flowers.
What more will you do for me from now on?...
I will pluck the moon
and tuck it in your hair.
I will pluck the stars
and string a necklace for you...
I want nothing else, nothing at all;
your chest is enough for me...
Female: Even when the time comes for my life to leave,
just one look from you is enough.
In your words, I hear sacred scripture...
In your eyes, I see myself.
Female: I unite myself with you,
and rest my cheek against your chest.
Look, inside this heart of mine,
there is only one home.
Female: This only home inside
is all for you to live in...
Male: I lit a lamp from the flame of my life...
Both: I dissolved myself and poured it out as oil...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song expresses profound devotion and eternal love between two soulmates who view their affection as transcending the physical realm. The lovers speak of housing each other within their hearts, sacrificing their individual selves to ignite the flame of their shared existence, and sharing their lives in equal measure.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Metaphor (Uruvagaim)

Uyir theeyil deepam yaetrinen / Ennai kondru ennai oottrinen

Life is conceptualized as a flame, and the lover's own self is metaphorically poured as oil to keep the lamp of devotion burning.

Antithesis (Muran)

Vingyaanam sollum / Nam kadhal mudiyaadhendru / En niyaanam sollum

Contrasts the finite nature of worldly things declared by science against the infinite, immortal nature of love perceived by spiritual wisdom.

Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navortchi)

Nilavai pariththu / Un koonthal mudippen / Vinmeen pariththu

Exaggerates romantic devotion through poetic imagery of plucking the moon to tie in hair and stringing stars into a necklace.
