நீயே...
முதல் வெட்கம் தந்த நீயே...
மனப்பக்கம் வந்த நீயே...
காதல் ஆனதே...
நீயே......நீயே...
You alone…
You are the one who gave me my first blush
You are the one who came near my heart
Love has been born
You alone, you alone…
இரவும் பகலும் நீதானே
கடலும் அலையும் நுரையும் நீதானே
உடலும் உயிரும் நீயே...
எங்கும் எதிலும் நீயே...
எதிலும் அதிலும் நீயே...
Night and day, it is only you
The ocean, the wave, and the foam are all you
You are both my body and soul
You are everywhere and in everything
You are in this and in that
நீயே.......
தட்டி விடுவதும் நீயே...
எட்டி பிடிப்பதும் நீயே
எனை கொல்லடி
You alone…
You are the one who pushes me away
You are the one who reaches out to hold me
Kill me with your love, girl
ஆ....... ஆஅ....ஆ.....
காதல் நடத்திடும் இந்த மோதல்
எது வந்த போதும் நீயே
தாயுமாகி நில்....
Aaa…aaa…aa.
Love conducts this conflict between us
No matter what comes, you are enough
Stand by me like a protective mother
ஆஅ......ஆ.....ஆஅ.....ஆஅ.....
ஹா......ஆஅ.....ஆ....ஆஅ.....ஆ....
Aaaa….aa…..aaa…..aaa…
Haa….aaa….aa….aa….aa…
எதிலும் உனது முகம் வந்து
எனது கவனம் தடுமாறும்
அதிலும் கூட சுகமாக
ஓர் அமைதி காண்கிறேன்
Your face appears in everything
Causing my focus to falter
Yet even in that distraction, pleasantly
I find a sense of peace
எதிரே வந்து நின்றாலே
எனது நிலமை என்னாகும்
விலகி நீயும் நடந்தாலே
நான் உடைந்து போகிறேன்
If you stand right in front of me
What will become of my state?
If you walk away from me
I shatter into pieces
நீயே.......
எனதுயிர் சட்டம் நீயே
எதிர் வரும் திட்டம் நீயே
நானாகிறேன்
You alone…
You are the law of my life
You are the plan for my future
I am becoming complete
ஆ.....பாதை.....
வழியினில் ஒரு வேர்வை
இவன் நனைத்திடும் போதை
என்னை நீக்க வா
Ah… the path…
A drop of sweat along the way
The intoxication in which he gets drenched
Come to set me free
நீ எனை மறந்தால்
வேறொரு உறவில்லை
நான் எனை தருவேன்
நீ வரும் மறுநொடியே
If you forget me
I have no other relationship left
I will give myself to you
O beautiful one who comes to me
நானும் இங்கே நீயாக
வாழ நீயும் வந்தாயே
நீயும் இங்கே நானாக
வரம் வேண்டுமே
For me to live here as you
You came here into my life
For you to become me here
A divine boon is needed
நீயே.....
வலி தருவதும் நீயே
வழி விடுவதும் நீயே
முரண்பாடு ஏன்
You alone…
You are the one who gives pain
You are the one who opens up the path
Why this contradiction?
ஆ....... காதல்
உயிர் வலி வரும் தேடல்
இடையினில் வரும் ஊடல்
நலம் காணவா.....
Ah… love…
A search that brings deep soul pain
A lover's quarrel happening in between
Is it all to find ultimate well-being?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Neeyae' is a soulful Tamil romantic song expressing complete emotional surrender to love. The singer contemplates how the beloved permeates every facet of existence—day and night, sea and foam, body and soul. The lyrics portray the sweet agony, contradictions, and profound tranquility that love brings into one's life. Throughout the track, love is framed as a transformative force where pain and healing originate from the exact same person. The singer surrenders their identity entirely, wishing to merge seamlessly with their soulmate despite emotional conflicts and quarrels.

Metaphor
“Kadalum alaiyum nuraiyum neethaanae”
Compares the beloved to the sea, the wave, and the foam, illustrating how love encompasses depth, motion, and delicate grace.
Antithesis / Muran
“Vali tharuvathum neeyae / Vazhi viduvathum neeyae / Muranpaadu yen”
Contrasts the act of causing pain ('Vali tharuvathum') with clearing the path ('Vazhi viduvathum') to highlight the paradoxical nature of love.
