Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song is a deeply emotional and soulful expression of unconditional love and lifelong companionship. The singer addresses his wife ('En ponjaathiyae'), declaring that his affection transcends a single breath, desire, truth, or even a single lifetime. He claims total devotion—taking ownership of not just her joy and love, but also her anger and sadness, standing by her through every facet of life.
