| Nee podhum enaku | You are enough for me |
| Nee podhum enaku | You are enough for me |
| Nee vaazhum varayil | As long as you live |
| Irupen unakku | I will be there for you |

| En nizhar saalayil | On my shaded path |
| Nerungiyae nadakiraaiyae | You walk closely with me |

| Naanum neeyum | When you and I |
| Ondraai poga | Go together |
| Vaanam yaavum | The entire sky |

நீ போதும் எனக்கு
நீ போதும் எனக்கு
நீ வாழும் வரையில்
இருப்பேன் உனக்கு
You are enough for me
You are enough for me
As long as you live
I will be there for you
என் மனக்குளத்துல
மழை என பொழிகிறாயே
என் நிழர் சாலையில்
நெருங்கியே நடக்கிறாயே
In the pond of my mind
You rain down upon me
On my shaded path
You walk closely with me
நானும் நீயும்
ஒன்றாய் போக
வானம் யாவும்
வண்ணம் ஆக
When you and I
Go together
The entire sky
Turns colorful
என் இமைகளை வருடிய
தேடல் நீயே
என் இசையினை திருடிய
பாடல் நீயே
Caressing my eyelashes
You are the quest
Stealing my music
You are the song
என் தனிமையைத் தவணையில்
பரித்தாய் நீயே
என் உயிரினை இதயமாய்
துடித்ததும் நீயே… நீயே….
My loneliness in installments
You snatched away
As my life's heart
You are the one that beat...
Only you...
நீ போதும் எனக்கு
நீ போதும் எனக்கு
நீ வாழும் வரையில்
இருப்பேன் உனக்கு
You are enough for me
You are enough for me
As long as you live
I will be there for you
நீ போதும் எனக்கு
நீ போதும் எனக்கு
நீ வாழும் வரையில்
இருப்பேன் உனக்கு
Even iron melts in
This love of two eyes
Grammatical errors
Are forgotten by love
உனக்கு… உனக்கு…. உனக்கு….
Turning even sand into rock
Is this transforming love
Shattering the laziness
Of the mind is this love
இரும்பையும் உருக்கிடும்
இரு விழி காதல்
இலக்கண பிழைகளை
மறந்திடும் காதல்
All through the day
I, for you
Will keep waiting
Like the waves of the ocean
மணலையும் பாறையாய்
மாற்றிடும் காதல்
மனதினை சோம்பலாய்
முறித்திடும் காதல்
On a single leaf
As droplets of water
We shall unite
Like body and soul
நாள் முழுதும்
நான் உனக்காய்
காத்திருப்பேன் கடல்
அலையினை போலெ
You are enough for me
You are enough for me
As long as you live
I will be there for you
For you... for you...
For you... for you...
ஒரு இலையில்
நீர் துளியாய்
சேர்ந்திருப்போம்
உடல் உயிரினை போலே
You are enough for me
நீ போதும் எனக்கு
நீ போதும் எனக்கு
நீ வாழும் வரையில்
இருப்பேன் உனக்கு
உனக்கு… உனக்கு….
உனக்கு… உனக்கு….
நீ போதும் எனக்கு

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Nee Podhum Enaku is a tender romance track expressing unconditional love, intimacy, and total contentment. The narrator vows to stand by his beloved throughout their life, declaring that their presence alone is more than sufficient. The song describes how love alters one's inner world—bringing rain to a mind's pond, turning skies into vivid colors, and softening hardship. Through evocative metaphors, the lyrics depict love as a force capable of melting iron and uniting two individuals like water drops joining on a leaf, bound as tightly as body and soul.
