| Naan ini kaatril nadakka pogiren | From now on, I am going to walk in the air |
| Koodavae un kaigal korthu kolgiren | Holding your hands together with mine |
| Indha prabanjam thaandiyae | Beyond this universe |

நான் இனி
காற்றில் நடக்க
போகிறேன் கூடவே
உன் கைகள் கோர்த்து
கொள்கிறேன் இந்த
பிரபஞ்சம் தாண்டியே
ஒரு பயணம் போகலாம்
அதில் மூச்சு கூட தேவை
இல்லை முத்தம் ஒன்றில்
சேர்ந்து செல்லலாம்
From now on, I am going to walk in the air
Holding your hands together with mine
Beyond this universe
Let us go on a journey
Where even breath is not needed
We can travel together in a single kiss
மிதந்து மிதந்து
வந்தாய் நெஞ்சில் நடந்து
நடந்து சென்றாய் அசந்து
அசந்து நின்றேன் ஐயோ
அளந்து அளந்து கொன்றாய்
Floating, floating you came
Walking, walking you entered my heart
Stunned, stunned I stood
Alas, measuring me bit by bit, you killed me
உன் போர்வை
இருட்டிலே நான் தொலைந்து
போகிறேன் ஒரு ஜாடை செய்யடா
உன் பாத சுவட்டில் தூசி போல
படிகிறேன் மடிகிறேன்
In the darkness of your blanket
I am getting lost
Show a sign, my dear
In the print of your feet
I settle and perish like dust
மெல்லிய சாரலும்
மஞ்சளாய் வெயிலும்
சேர்ந்தது போல் உந்தன்
வெட்கமும் கோபமும்
சேர்ந்ததடி தெத்துப்பல்
கீறலும் கொஞ்சலடி
காதலும் இல்லாத
காமமும் இல்லாத
ஓர் நொடி பெண் :
ஓர் நொடி
A soft drizzle
And yellow sunshine
Coming together as one
Like that, your shyness and anger
Have merged, my girl
The touch of your misaligned tooth and your sweet coaxing, my girl
Neither mere love nor mere lust
Just one moment... Female: Just one moment...
பார் சுற்றி
பார் நம்மை போல்
இனி யாரடா காதலிப்பார்
நீ எந்தன் புத்தகம் மெல்லிசை
புல்நுனி தேய்பிறை
யாவிலும் நீயே
Look around, look
Who else will love like us from now on, my dear?
You are my book... soft music...
Tip of grass... waning moon... you are in everything
காட்டிலும் நீ
கோவிலும் நீ
தாய் நாடி
ஆகிடும் தோழியும்
நான் தானே
You are in the bed, you are in the temple
Female: Becoming a motherly river
I am also your companion
ஆண் & பெண் :
பாரதி
போல் ஆனேன் பைத்தியம்
போல் ஆனேன் உன்னால்
நானே
Floating, floating you came
Walking, walking you entered my heart
Stunned, stunned I stood
Alas, twisting and swaying, you killed me
மிதந்து மிதந்து
வந்தாய் நெஞ்சில் நடந்து
நடந்து சென்றாய் அசந்து
அசந்து நின்றேன் ஐயோ
நெளிந்து வளைந்து கொன்றாய்
In the darkness of your hair
Female: In the darkness of your blanket
Male: I am getting lost
Female: I am getting lost
Male: Show a sign, my girl
Female: Show a sign, my boy
Male: In the print of your feet
I settle and perish like dust
உன் கூந்தல்
இருட்டிலே
உன் போர்வை
இருட்டிலே
நான் தொலைந்து
போகிறேன்
நான் தொலைந்து
போகிறேன்
ஒரு ஜாடை
செய்யடி
ஒரு ஜாடை
செய்யடா
உன் பாத
சுவட்டில் தூசி போல
படிகிறேன் மடிகிறேன்
In the evening rain
The scent of soaked green leaves
In some parts of your body
That scent wafts
அந்தி மலையில்
பச்சை தளிர்கள் நனைத்த
வாசம் உந்தன் உடலில்
சில பகுதி அதிலே வீசும்
My final breath
The moment my eyes close in the end
Will reveal your form
I am your memory
உந்தன் இறுதி
மூச்சு முடிந்து கண்கள்
மூடும் தருணமே உனது
உருவம் காட்டுமே
உன்னோட நினைவு நான்
Like music floating in the air
I will enter into your ears
Female: Like a leaf lying in the forest
You will come and dishevel my hair
காற்றில் மிதக்கும்
இசை போல் உந்தன் காதில்
நுழைந்து கொள்வேன்
காட்டில் கிடைக்கும்
இலை போல் என் கூந்தல்
களைத்து செல்வாய்
Is this earth enough?
Female: Is this earth enough?
Male: Do we need something more?
Female: Do we need something more?
Male: The glances you gave
Female: The glances you gave
Male: Like wind in the expanse of time
Will blend and float away
இந்த பூமி
போதுமா
இந்த பூமி
போதுமா
இன்னும்
வேறு வேண்டுமா
இன்னும்
வேறு வேண்டுமா
நீ பார்த்த
பார்வைகள்
நீ பார்த்த
பார்வைகள்
அது காலவெளியில்
காற்று போல கலக்குமே
மிதக்குமே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poetic love duet portrays a transcendent romantic relationship that goes beyond physical boundaries and cosmic limits. The lovers feel so overwhelmed by affection that they feel weightless, walking on air and desiring a realm beyond the earth where love supersedes even the necessity of breathing. Through vivid sensory descriptions—such as twilight rain on leaves, gentle music, and morning sunshine—the song portrays intimacy as a sacred and ethereal experience. The lyrics seamlessly blend passion with emotional depth, framing the beloved as both a sacred deity in a temple and a comforting companion. Towards the conclusion, the bond is depicted as timeless and eternal, persisting beyond life's final breath as an enduring presence floating through the expanse of time.
