| Ninaithu ninaithu paarthaal | If you think of me again and again, |
| Nerungi arugil varuvaen | I will come close to you. |
| Unnaal dhaanae naanae vaazhgiraen…hooo..oh | It is only because of you that I am alive... hooo..oh |
| Unnil indru ennai paarkkiraen | In you, today, I see myself. |

| Amarndhu pesum marangalin nizhalum | Even the shade of the trees under which we sat and talked, |

| Ullangaiyil veppam serkkum | To bring warmth to the palms, |
| Viralgal undhan kaiyil | With fingers entwined in your hand, |
| Tholil saaindhu kadhaigal pesa | To lean on your shoulder and talk endless stories, |
| Namadhu vidhiyil illai | It was simply not written in our fate. |

தானே நானே வாழ்கிறேன்
ஹோ ஓ உன்னில் இன்று
என்னை பார்க்கிறேன் எடுத்து
படித்து முடிக்கும் முன்னே
எரியும் கடிதம் உனக்கு
கண்ணே...உன்னால்
தானே நானே வாழ்கிறேன்
ஹோ ஓ உன்னில் இன்று
என்னை பார்க்கிறேன்
If you think of me again and again,
I will come close to you.
It is only because of you that I am alive... hooo..oh
In you, today, I see myself.

அமர்ந்து பேசும்
மரங்களின் நிழலும் நமது
கதையை காலமும் சொல்லும்
உதிர்ந்து போன மலரின் வாசமா
ஆ தூது பேசும் கொலுசின் ஒளியை
அறைகள் முழுதும் ஆண்டுகள்
சொல்லும் உடைந்து போன
வளையலின் வண்ணமா ஆஆ
உள்ளங்கையில் வெப்பம் சேர்க்கும்
விரல்கள் உந்தன் கையில் தோளில்
சாய்ந்து கதைகள் பேச நமது விதியில்
இல்லை முதல் கனவு போதுமே காதலா
கண்கள் திறந்திடு
Even the shade of the trees under which we sat and talked,
And time itself, will tell our story.
Is it like the lingering fragrance of a fallen flower?
The jingling sound of anklets that carried messages,
The empty rooms will speak of it for years to come.
Is it like the vivid color of a broken bangle?
To bring warmth to the palms,
With fingers entwined in your hand,
To lean on your shoulder and talk endless stories,
It was simply not written in our fate.
This first dream alone is enough, my lover,
Open your eyes now.
பேசி போன
வார்த்தைகள் எல்லாம்
உனது பேச்சில் கலந்தே
இருக்கும் உலகம் அழியும்
உருவம் அழியுமா ஆ ஆ
பார்த்து போன பார்வைகள்
எல்லாம் பகலும் இரவும்
உன்னுடன் இருக்கும் உனது
விழிகள் என்னை மறக்குமா
ஆஆஆ தொடர்ந்து வந்த
நிழலின் பிம்பம் வந்து வந்து
போகும் திருட்டு போன தடயம்
இருந்தும் திரும்பி வருவேன்
நானும் ஒரு தருணம் என்னடா
காதலா உன்னுள் வாழ்கிறேன்
All the words we once spoke together,
Will remain forever blended into your own speech.
The world may perish, but will this eternal form fade away?
All the loving glances we exchanged,
Will stay with you through day and night.
Will your eyes ever forget me?
The reflection of the shadow that followed you,
Will keep coming and going.
Even if the stolen traces are gone,
I will still return.
What is a mere moment, my lover?
I live inside you.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Ninaithu Ninaithu Paarthaal is a hauntingly beautiful and poignant ballad from the movie 7G Rainbow Colony. Sung from the perspective of a departed lover (Anitha), the song serves as a comforting yet bittersweet message from beyond to her grieving partner (Kadhir). She reassures him that even though she is physically gone, her presence endures in his memories, his speech, his glances, and his surrounding world. The lyrics poetically emphasize that true love transcends death and destiny.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
