ஊனே உயிரே உனக்காக துடித்தேன்
விண்மீனே விண்ணை தாண்டி வருவாயா
விண்ணை தாண்டி வருவாயா
விண்ணை தாண்டி வருவாயா
விண்மீனே வருவாயா ?.....
My body and soul, I dedicated myself for you
Oh star… will you cross the skies and come to me?
Will you cross the skies and come?
Will you cross the skies and come?
Oh star, will you come?
நேற்றும் இரவில் உன்னோடு இருந்தேன்
அதை நீயும் மறந்தாயா மறந்தாயா
கனவோடு விளையாட விண்ணை தாண்டி வருவாயா ?
நிலவே நீ வருவாயா ?....
Even last night, I was with you
Did you… forget that? Did you forget?
Will you cross the skies and come to play with my dreams?
Oh moon, will you come?
ஊனே உயிரே உனக்காக துடித்தேன்
விண்மீனே விண்ணை தாண்டி வருவாயா
My body and soul, I dedicated myself for you
Oh star… will you cross the skies and come to me?
உயிரே நீயும் நானும் பிரிந்தது
புவி ஈர்ப்பு மையத்தில் தானே ?..
இரு துருவம் சேரும் அந்த ஓரிடம்
அங்கே தான் நாம் சேர்ந்தோமே
இனிமேல் நானும் நீயும் பிரிவதில்லை
அன்பே விண்ணை தாண்டி வருவாயா ?...
விண்ணை தாண்டி வருவாயா ?...
விண்ணை தாண்டி வருவாயா ?...
விண்ணை தாண்டி வருவாயா ?...
My life, the separation between you and me
Was only at the earth's center of gravity
That place where the two opposite poles meet
That is right where we united
From now on, you and I shall never part
My love… will you cross the skies and come to me?
Will you cross the skies and come?
Will you cross the skies and come?
Oh star, will you come?...
Oonae uyirae unakkaaga thiduththen
My body and soul, I dedicated myself for you
Vinmeenae… vinnaithaandi varuvaayaa
Oh star… will you cross the skies and come to me?
Vinnaithaandi varuvaayaa
Will you cross the skies and come?
Vinnaithaandi varuvaayaa
Will you cross the skies and come?
Vinmeenae varuvaayaa
Oh star, will you come?
Naetrum iravil unnodu irundhen
Even last night, I was with you
Adhai neeyum…. marandhaayaa marandhaayaa
Did you… forget that? Did you forget?
Kanavodu vilayaada vinnaithaandi varuvaayaa
Will you cross the skies and come to play with my dreams?
Nilavae nee varuvaayaa
Oh moon, will you come?
Oonae uyirae unakkaaga thiduththen
My body and soul, I dedicated myself for you
Vinmeenae… vinnaithaandi varuvaayaa
Oh star… will you cross the skies and come to me?
Uyirae neeyum naanum pirinthadhu
My life, the separation between you and me
Puvi eerppu maiyaththil thaanae
Was only at the earth's center of gravity
Iru dhuruvam serum andha oor idam
That place where the two opposite poles meet
Angae thaan naam sernthomae
That is right where we united
Inimel nannum neeyum pirivadhillai
From now on, you and I shall never part
Anbae…. vinnaithaandi varuvaayaa
My love… will you cross the skies and come to me?
Vinnaithaandi varuvaaya
Will you cross the skies and come?
Vinnaithaandi varuvaaya
Will you cross the skies and come?
Vinmeenae varuvaaya…..
Oh star, will you come?...
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song captures a profound, cosmic expression of longing and emotional attachment. The protagonist addresses his beloved as a star ('Vinmeen') and moon ('Nilavu'), yearning for her presence and asking if she will transcend all distance—symbolized by crossing the skies—to join him. He recalls moments spent together in thoughts and dreams, gently questioning if she has forgotten their deep connection.
