இதோ இந்த நெஞ்சோடு....
ஒரே வீடுதான்
ஒரே வீடு உள்ளதெல்லாம்
நீ வாழத்தான்......
உயிர்த் தீயில் தீபம் ஏற்றினேன்…
என்னைக் கொன்று எண்ணெய் ஊற்றினேன்…
Here, within this heart
There is only one home
The only home, and all that is within it
Is for you to live in...
I lit a lamp in the fire of life...
I sacrificed myself to pour myself as oil into it...
இதோ இந்த நெஞ்சோடு.....
ஒரே வீடுதான்.....
ஒரே வீடு உள்ளதெல்லாம்

Here, within this heart
There is only one home
The only home, and all that is within it
Is for you to live in...
I lit a lamp in the fire of life...
I sacrificed myself to pour myself as oil into it...
உயிரை பிரித்து இரு பாதி செய்தேன்
உனக்கு அதிலே சரி பாதி தந்தேன்
உனது உயிரில் சரி பாதி கொண்டேன்
எனது உயிரில் முழுமையும் தந்தேன்
I split life into two halves
And gave you an equal half of it
Female: I received an equal half from your life
And gave the entirety of my own life...
ஒவ்வொன்றும் முடியும் என்று
விஞ்ஞானம் சொல்லும்
நம் காதல் முடியாதென்று
எஞ்ஞானம் சொல்லும்
That everything must end
Science will say
That our love will never end
My inner wisdom will say
காலங்கள் வாழும் காலமே.....ஏ....
நம் காதல் எல்லை வாழுமே
என் கைகள் உன்னில் நீளுமே...ஏ.....
இமைக்காமல் உன்னை ஆளுமே...ஏ....
Oh time that lives through eternity...
Our love will live beyond all boundaries
Male: My hands will reach out to embrace you...
And rule over you without ever blinking...

இதயம் திறந்து பூந்தோட்டம் செய்தாய்.....
இனிமேல் எனக்கு என்னென்ன செய்வாய்
நிலவை பறித்து உன் கூந்தல் முடிப்பேன்
விண்மீன் பறித்து மணியாரம் தொடுப்பேன்.....
Opening your heart
You created a flower garden
What else will you do for me hereafter...
வேறேதும் வேண்டாம் வேண்டாம்
உன் மார்பு போதும்.......
உயிர் போகும் காலம் கூட
ஒரு பார்வை போதும்
Plucking the moon
I will adorn your hair with it
Plucking the stars
I will weave a necklace of gems...
உன் சொல்லில் வேதம் கேட்கிறேன்.....
உன் கண்ணில் என்னை பார்க்கிறேன்......
பெண் : உன்னோடு என்னை சேர்க்கிறேன்
உன் மார்பில் கன்னம் தேய்க்கிறேன்
Nothing else is needed, no
Your chest is enough...
Female: Even when the moment comes for life to end
Just one glance from you is enough.
இதோ இந்த நெஞ்சோடு.....

உயிர்த்தீயில் தீபம் ஏற்றினேன்…

எண்ணெய் ஊற்றினேன்…
I hear sacred scriptures in your words...
I see myself reflecting in your eyes
Female: I unite myself with you.
I rest my cheek against your chest.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
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.
