...
You are one wing,
I am the other wing,
and love has become a bird!
You are one word,
I am the other word,
and love has become a poem!
Oh...
With you as one wave
and me as the other wave,
the shores of our bodies
became a seashore, my girl!
Oh...
With you as one cloud
and me as the other cloud,
the first rain
drizzles inside my soul, my girl!
With you as the flower (tails),
and me as the head,
love has become a coin, my dear!
You are one wing,
I am the other wing,
and love has become a bird!
...
The moment I saw you,
I found my true self in me;
I registered my whole body
in your name.
To hold you close
even inside my dreams,
upon my eyelids,
I made a door.
Shyly, with my toes,
I drew a rainbow on the ground.
Like the sacred soil of my homeland,
I carried the dust from your feet.
The parrot of longing, today,
without making a sound,
pecks at me and flies away!
You are one wing,
I am the other wing,
and love has become a bird!
You are one word,
I am the other word,
and love has become a poem!
To the white moon,
I will give your name;
the golden light it pours,
I will drink it up.
To all women today,
I will give your name;
for the gentle breeze,
I will open my flower-like body.
Ah...
Measuring you with kisses,
I will weigh you and delight in you;
placing you deep within,
I will measure your height.
In your starry eyes,
seeing the white moon,
I forgot all about the sun!
You are one wing,
I am the other wing,
and love has become a bird!
You are one word,
I am the other word,
and love has become a poem!
Oh...
With you as one wave
and me as the other wave,
the shores of our bodies
became a seashore, my girl!
Oh...
With you as one cloud
and me as the other cloud,
the first rain
drizzles inside my soul, my girl!
With you as the flower (tails),
and me as the head,
love has become a coin, my dear!
You are one wing,
I am the other wing,
and love has become a bird!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Oru Siragu Nee' from 'Andha Naal Nyabagam' is a gentle and poetic duet celebrating the complete oneness and harmony of two lovers. Through a series of creative and vivid metaphors—such as two wings forming a single bird, two individual words combining into a poem, and two sides forming a single coin—the song illustrates how two distinct individuals lose their separate identities to create a unified whole in love.
