| Male | |
| Kanne maniye endhan thunaiye | My precious one, my darling, my companion, |
| Nenju erinju yeruthuthadi | My heart burns and singes with pain. |
| Unnai kanum ovvoru nodiyum | Every single moment I see you, |
| Mannul puthaigiren nanumadi | I get buried inside the earth, my dear. |
| Onna thirunjom veedhiyila | We roamed together in the streets once, |
| Namma renda pirunjom paadhiyila | We split into two halfway through the path. |
| Ellam nadanthum veli illa | Despite all that happened, there is no way out, |
| Ippo thunda ponom nadhi illai | Now we are broken, like a river dried up. |
| Anbodu nadakuren othaiyila | I walk alone carrying love within, |
| Alladi thavikiren mathiyila | I suffer and struggle amidst all this anguish. |
| Female | |
| Unai enni thane manasula naane | Thinking of you inside my heart, |
| Thathalichene unnala thane | I floundered and struggled, all because of you. |
| Thathalichene unnala thane | I floundered and struggled, all because of you. |

| Iniyum enge vaalvathu | Where else can one live anymore? |
| Naan unnala themburen nalla yenguren | I sob because of you and yearn deeply, |

கண்ணே மணியே எந்தன் துணையே
நெஞ்சு எரிஞ்சு ஏறுதடி
உன்னை காணா ஒவ்வொரு நொடியும்
மண்ணுள் புதைகிறேன் நானுமடி
ஒன்னா திரிஞ்சோம் வீதியில
நாம்ம ரெண்டா பிரிஞ்சோம் பாதியில
எல்லாம் நடந்தும் வேலி இல்ல
இப்ப துண்டா போனோம் நாதி இல்லை
அன்போடு நடக்குறேன் ஒத்தையில
அல்லாடி தவிக்கிறேன் மத்தியில
My precious one, my darling, my companion,
My heart burns and singes with pain.
Every single moment I see you,
I get buried inside the earth, my dear.
We roamed together in the streets once,
We split into two halfway through the path.
Despite all that happened, there is no way out,
Now we are broken, like a river dried up.
I walk alone carrying love within,
I suffer and struggle amidst all this anguish.
உன்னை எண்ணி தானே
மனசுல நானே
தத்தளிச்சேனே உன்னாலேதானே
தத்தளிச்சேனே உன்னாலேதானே
Thinking of you inside my heart,
I floundered and struggled, all because of you.
I floundered and struggled, all because of you.
ஹா....ஆ....ஆ....ஆஅ.....
Haaa..aaa..aaa..aa..
தீயின் பிடியில் வானம் இருந்தால்
நிலவு எங்கே போவது
பிரிந்து போகும் வாழ்க்கைக்குள்ள
இனியும் எங்கே வாழ்வது
If the sky is trapped in the grip of fire,
Where can the moon go?
Within this life that is coming to an end,
Where else can one live anymore?
I sob because of you and yearn deeply,
I endure all words, wishing for good days ahead,
I wither away, searching deep inside,
I look for myself, yet you haven't arrived.
நான் உன்னால
தேம்புறேன் மெல்ல ஏங்குறேன்
சொல்ல தாங்குறேன் தொல்ல நானும்தான்
வாடுறேன் உள்ள தாண்டுறேன்
என்னை தேடுறேன் வல்ல நீயும்தான்
For you and me to walk together,
There is no good fortune left anymore.
For two souls to unite as one,
The eyes perform a sacred ritual of tearful sacrifice.
Because of you, back then,
The drizzling rain vanished,
The sky changed its nature,
The dancing leaf fades, turning into a mistake,
In the flower of destiny.
நீயும் நானும் சேர்ந்து போக
இனியும் இல்ல யோகம்தான்
ரெண்டு உயிரும் ஒன்னு சேர
கண்கள் நடத்துது யாகம்தான்
உன்னால முன்னால
தூறுன மழை காணல
விலை மாறி போனது வானில
ஆடுன இலை வாடுது
பிழையானது விதி பூவுல
My precious one, my darling, my companion,
My heart burns and singes with pain,
கண்ணே மணியே எந்தன் துணையே
நெஞ்சு எரிஞ்சு ஏறுதடி
Every single moment I see you,
I get buried inside the earth, my dear.
உன்னை காணா ஒவ்வொரு நொடியும்
மண்ணுள் புதைகிறேன் நானுமடா
Kanne maniye endhan thunaiye
My precious one, my darling, my companion,
Nenju erinju yeruthuthadi
My heart burns and singes with pain.
Unnai kanum ovvoru nodiyum
Every single moment I see you,
Mannul puthaigiren nanumadi
I get buried inside the earth, my dear.
Onna thirunjom veedhiyila
We roamed together in the streets once,
Namma renda pirunjom paadhiyila
We split into two halfway through the path.
Ellam nadanthum veli illa
Despite all that happened, there is no way out,
Ippo thunda ponom nadhi illai
Now we are broken, like a river dried up.
Anbodu nadakuren othaiyila
I walk alone carrying love within,
Alladi thavikiren mathiyila
I suffer and struggle amidst all this anguish.
Unai enni thane manasula naane
Thinking of you inside my heart,
Thathalichene unnala thane
I floundered and struggled, all because of you.
Thathalichene unnala thane
I floundered and struggled, all because of you.
Haaa..aaa..aaa..aa..
Haaa..aaa..aaa..aa..
Theeyin pidiyil vaanam irunthaal
If the sky is trapped in the grip of fire,
Nilavu enge povathu
Where can the moon go?
Nerunga pogum vaazhkai kulle
Within this life that is coming to an end,
Iniyum enge vaalvathu
Where else can one live anymore?
Naan unnala themburen nalla yenguren
I sob because of you and yearn deeply,
Solla thanguren nalla vanum than
I endure all words, wishing for good days ahead,
Vaaduren ulla thonduren
I wither away, searching deep inside,
Ennai theduren varla neeyum than
I look for myself, yet you haven't arrived.
Neeyum naanum sernthu poga
For you and me to walk together,
Iniyum illa yogam than
There is no good fortune left anymore.
Rendu uyirum onnu sera
For two souls to unite as one,
Kangal nadathuthu yaagam than
The eyes perform a sacred ritual of tearful sacrifice.
Unnala munnala
Because of you, back then,
Thooruna mazhai kaanala
The drizzling rain vanished,
Vila maari ponathu vaanila
The sky changed its nature,
Aaduna ela vaaduthu pizhai aanathu
The dancing leaf fades, turning into a mistake,
Vithi poovula
In the flower of destiny.
Kanne maniye endhan thunaiye
My precious one, my darling, my companion,
Nenju erinju yeruthuthadi
My heart burns and singes with pain,
Unnai kanum ovvoru nodiyum
Every single moment I see you,
Mannul puthaigiren nanumada
I get buried inside the earth, my dear.
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Ninnu Vilayadu is a deeply melancholic song depicting the pain of heartbreak, separation, and unfulfilled destiny between two lovers. The lyrics reflect the speaker's emotional torment as they reflect on past memories of togetherness that ended abruptly halfway through life's journey. Through powerful imagery of burning skies, dried rivers, and tearful sacrifices, the song captures the agonizing experience of longing for a beloved who is no longer reachable.
