Naan unthan udalin paathi

En kannukulla unna naanum

I am one half of your body,
You are the other half of my soul,
We both have come together as one.
I am one half of your body,
You are the other half of my soul,
We both have come together as one.
Deep inside my eyes,
I have stitched your image,
Now I will never let you leave me.
I am one half of your body,
You are the other half of my soul,
We both have come together as one.
The love you saved and gave to me,
Has filled my heart to the brim.
What more can I even say... ah...
Seeing how much you long for me,
My own love seems so small.
I have no words to thank you.
You rule over me completely,
And in all my thoughts, darling,
You alone live.
Without any hesitation, I will ask you,
Give me our first kiss, my love.
Hahahahaha...
You are the other half of my soul,
I am one half of your body.
To shower so much love like you do,
There is no one in this whole world.
I can say this with my eyes closed:
A life spent by your side,
Is all I ever need, my dear,
I do not need anything else.
Roll me up into your palm,
And hold me close,
Then open it gently and with the corner of your eye,
Look at me.
For the right time to bring us together,
I will do a hundred penances.
You are the other half of my soul,
I am one half of your body,
We both have come together as one.
Deep inside my eyes,
I have stitched your image,
Now I will never let you leave me.
Ah... ah... ah... aahh...
Ah... ah... ah...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This romantic song expresses deep devotion, emotional oneness, and complete surrender between two lovers. The speaker conveys that they and their partner form two halves of a single existence—one providing the body and the other supplying the soul. The lyrics highlight how overwhelmed the speaker feels by their partner's vast love, making their own affection feel small and leaving them endlessly grateful.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Metaphor

“Naan unthan udalin paathi / Nee enthan uyirin meedhi”

Describing two lovers as the body ('udalin paathi') and the soul ('uyirin meedhi') creates a vivid metaphor for indivisible unity.

Hyperbole & Imagery

“En kannukulla unna naanum thaithen”

'En kannukulla unna naanum thaithen' (I stitched you inside my eyes) uses exaggerated imagery to convey how deeply embedded the lover is in the speaker's vision.

Ethirai (Second letter rhyme in Tamil prosody)

“Iruvarumae ondraai sernthomae”

The second letters 'ru' in 'Iruvarumae' and 'er' / 'an' across corresponding lines create phonetic harmony.
