நான் வாழ்ந்திட
காற்று வேண்டும்
காதல் போதும்
நான் வசித்திட வீடு வேண்டும்
இதயம் போதும்
For me to live
I do not need air
Love is enough
For me to reside, I do not need a house
A heart is enough
காலை எழுந்ததும்
தண்ணீர் வேண்டும்
புன்னகை கலந்த முத்தம் கொடு
குளித்து முடித்து வந்து நிற்கிறேன்
துடித்திட உனது கூந்தல் கொடு
Upon waking up in the morning
I do not need tea
Give me a kiss blended with a smile
Having finished bathing, I come and stand here
Give me your tresses to dry myself
என் காதல் தேவதையே
இந்த வரங்கள் போதுமடி
Oh my goddess of love
These blessings are enough, my dear
நான் வாழ்ந்திட
காற்று வேண்டும்
காதல் போதும்
நான் வசித்திட வீடு வேண்டும்
இதயம் போதும்
For me to live
I do not need air
Love is enough
For me to reside, I do not need a house
A heart is enough
வளையல்கள் கொலுசுகள்
சப்தங்கள் போதும் இசை வேண்டும்
அந்த பொழுதினில்
சிந்தி சினுங்கிடும்
கொஞ்சல்கள் போதும் மொழி வேண்டும்
Bangles and anklets
Their sounds are enough, I do not need music
In those moments
Spilled and soft
Coaxing whispers are enough, I do not need language
நீ தந்த நிழலே போதும்
வெயில் நாளில் குடை வேண்டாம்
உன் வாச சேலைகள் போதும்
போர்வைகளே வேண்டாம்
The shadow you gave is enough
I do not need an umbrella on a sunny day
Your fragrant sarees are enough
Blankets are no longer needed
ஓஹ்....
தலை வைக்க மடி கொடுத்தாய்
தலை அணையின் துணை வேண்டாம்
உனக்குள் வாழ்கிறேன்
உனக்குள் வாழ்கிறேன்
இப்படியே என்னை வாழ விடு
Oh..
You gave your lap to rest my head
I do not need the comfort of a pillow
I live inside you
I live inside you
Let me live just like this
நான் வாழ்ந்திட
காற்று வேண்டும்
காதல் போதும்
நான் வசித்திட வீடு வேண்டும்
இதயம் போதும்
For me to live
I do not need air
Love is enough
For me to reside, I do not need a house
A heart is enough
காலை எழுந்ததும்
தண்ணீர் வேண்டும்
புன்னகை கலந்த முத்தம் கொடு
குளித்து முடித்து வந்து நிற்கிறேன்
துடித்திட உனது கூந்தல் கொடு
Upon waking up in the morning
I do not need tea
Give me a kiss blended with a smile
Having finished bathing, I come and stand here
Give me your tresses to dry myself
என் காதல் தேவதையே
இந்த வரங்கள் போதுமடி
Oh my goddess of love
These blessings are enough, my dear
நான் வாழ்ந்திட
காற்று வேண்டும்
காதல் போதும்
நான் வசித்திட வீடு வேண்டும்
இதயம் போதும்
For me to live
I do not need air
Love is enough
For me to reside, I do not need a house
A heart is enough
ஒளிவிடும் உன்னுடல்
வெளிச்சங்கள் போதும் இறைவினிலே
உன்னை சூடிடும் வண்ண மலர்களின்
வாசனை போதும் மூச்சினிலே
Your glowing body
Its light is enough during the night
The colorful flowers adorning you
Their aroma is enough for my breathing
உன் பேரை சொன்னாள் போதும்
பிரார்த்தனைகள் தேவை இல்லை
நீ நடந்த சுவடுகள் போதும்
வேறு வழி தேவை இல்லை
Just saying your name is enough
There is no need for prayers
The footsteps where you walked are enough
No other path is needed
ஓஹ்....
பசி ஏற்றும் உன் அழகை
ருசி பார்க்கும் சுகம் போதும்
உனது காதலில்
உனது காதலில்
மரணம் என்பது மறந்து விடும்
Oh..
Your beauty that ignites hunger
The bliss of tasting it is enough
In your love
In your love
Even death will be forgotten
நான் வாழ்ந்திட
காற்று வேண்டும்
காதல் போதும்
நான் வசித்திட வீடு வேண்டும்
இதயம் போதும்
For me to live
I do not need air
Love is enough
For me to reside, I do not need a house
A heart is enough
காலை எழுந்ததும்
தண்ணீர் வேண்டும்
புன்னகை கலந்த முத்தம் கொடு
குளித்து முடித்து வந்து நிற்கிறேன்
துடித்திட உனது கூந்தல் கொடு
Upon waking up in the morning
I do not need tea
Give me a kiss blended with a smile
Having finished bathing, I come and stand here
Give me your tresses to dry myself
என் காதல் தேவதையே
இந்த வரங்கள் போதுமடி
Oh my goddess of love
These blessings are enough, my dear
நான் வாழ்ந்திட
காற்று வேண்டும்
காதல் போதும்
நான் வசித்திட வீடு வேண்டும்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses an all-consuming, hyperbolic devotion to a beloved partner. The protagonist proclaims that conventional necessities of life—such as air to breathe, a roof overhead, morning tea, clothing for warmth, or music for entertainment—are completely rendered redundant by the overwhelming presence and love of his partner. Her presence substitutes all worldly needs, serving as his light in the dark, shelter from the sun, and spiritual path.

Poetic devices
Hyperbole (Exaggeration)

“Naan vasithida veedu vendam Idhayam podhum”
Comparing the beloved's heart to a dwelling space.
Anaphora / Structural Repetition
“Thaeneer vendam Punnagai kalandha mutham kodu”
