நீ சிரிச்சாலும்
என்ன மொறச்சாலும்
தினம் நினைச்சாலும்
சுட்டு எரிச்சாலும்.....
Whether you smile
Or glare at me angrily
Whether I think of you daily
Or burn me to ashes
நெஞ்சில் இனிச்சாலும்
இல்ல வலிச்சாலும்
கையில் அணைச்சாலும்
மண்ணில் பொதைச்சாலும்.....
Whether it feels sweet in my heart
Or causes pain
Whether you embrace me in your hands
Or bury me in the earth
ஏதோ நீ செய்கிறாய் யுக்தி
நெஞ்சம் உன்னோடுதான் சுத்தி
இதமான காயங்கள்
உன் வார்த்தைகள் குத்தி
You perform some kind of trick
My heart keeps revolving around you
Soothing wounds
Pierced by your words
நானோ உன் பார்வையில் சிக்கி
சொல்ல முடியாமலே திக்கி
யாரோடும் பேசாமல்
சேர்ந்து போகிறோம் சொக்கி
Trapped in your gaze
Stuttering, unable to speak
Without talking to anyone
We faint together in ecstasy
நீ சிரிச்சாலும்
என்ன மொறச்சாலும்
தினம் நினைச்சாலும்
சுட்டு எரிச்சாலும்
Whether you smile
Or glare at me angrily
Whether I think of you daily
Or burn me to ashes

Shall I search among flowers
For the love that was buried?
Shall I wear in my hair
The desire that accompanied me?
புதைத்து வைத்த காதலை
பூக்களுக்குள் தேடவா
கூட வந்த ஆசையை
கூந்தலுக்குள் சூடவா
As long as my heart exists
Your memory will remain
In the airless space
I am waiting anxiously
நெஞ்சிருக்கும் வரைக்குமே
உன் நினைவு இருக்குமே
காற்றிலா வெளியிலே
காத்துகிடக்கிறேன் நான்
You silently
Walk away
Inflicting wounds continuously
Saying there is no love in you
Just like a female friend
I transformed myself
நீ மௌனமாகவே
நடந்து போகிறாய்
காயம் செய்து கொண்டே
உன்னில் காதல் இல்லை என
தோழி போலவே
என்னை மாற்றி கொண்டேன்
Leaning on his shoulders
What if I get lost?
Sleeping on his lap
What if I perish?

நான் தொலைந்தால் என்ன
இவன் மடியில் தூங்கி
நான் மடிந்தால் என்ன} (2)

Thinking of you every day
I stayed awake with open eyes
Hugging you close
I held you tight in my dreams
தினம் உன்ன நினைச்சே
இரு கண்ண முழிச்சேன்
உன்ன ஒட்டி அணைச்சே
கனவுல கட்டி புடிச்சேன்
In the iris of your eye
I found myself
I thought only of you
I died and lived every day
உன் கண்ணு முழியில்
என்ன கண்டு புடிச்சேன்
உன்ன மட்டும் நினைச்சேன்
தினம் செத்து பொழைச்சேன்
Oh love that waves its hand
Where are you going past me?
In this desert heat
You kill me without even a look
கை வீசும் காதலே
என்னை தாண்டியே எங்கு செல்கிறாயோ
இந்த பாலை வெயிலில்
பார்வை இன்றியே என்னை கொல்கிறாயோ
Leaning on his shoulders
What if I get lost?
Sleeping on his lap
What if I perish?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Nee Sirichaalum is a soulful romantic track from the movie Action (2019), expressing deep devotion, vulnerability, and sweet agony in love.

His presence and words hold an irresistible sway over her soul, making her surrender completely to these intoxicating feelings. The song details her willingness to lose her identity and even perish in his love, framing her romantic longing as both a comforting refuge and a painful burning sun. Despite the silent distance or pretense of mere friendship, her mind remains entirely fixated on him, highlighting the eternal nature of her passion.
