உன் காதல் எனதென்றே ஆனாலும்
இல்லாமல் போனாலும் என் வாழ்க்கை உன்னாலடி
உன் காதல் எனதென்றே ஆனாலும்
இல்லாமல் போனாலும் என் வாழ்க்கை உன்னாலடி
Even if your love becomes mine
Or even if it is not, my life exists because of you, my girl
Even if your love becomes mine
Or even if it is not, my life exists because of you, my girl
உன்னாலடி விழுந்தாலும் விழுந்தெழுந்தாலும்
என் வாழ்க்கை உன்னாலடி
உன்னாலடி விழுந்தாலும் விழுந்தெழுந்தாலும்
என் வாழ்க்கை உன்னாலடி.... உன்னாலடி
Because of you, whether I fall or rise after falling
My life exists because of you, my girl
Because of you, whether I fall or rise after falling
My life exists because of you, my girl... because of you
பொட்டும் போகட்டுமே
நீ மறைஞ்சாலும் காதல் துணை வருமே
சாகும் நாள் வருமே
அது வரைக்கும் இந்த வழி தான் உயிர் தருமே
Let it be, let it happen
Even if you disappear, love will accompany me
The day of death will arrive
Until then, this pain alone will give me life
பொட்டும் போகட்டுமே
நீ மறைஞ்சாலும் காதல் துணை வருமே
சாகும் நாள் வருமே
அது வரைக்கும் இந்த வழி தான் உயிர் தருமே
Let it be, let it happen
Even if you disappear, love will accompany me
The day of death will arrive
Until then, this pain alone will give me life
எனை நோக்கி பாயும் தோட்டாக்கள்
என் நெற்றி பொட்டை குறி வைத்து பாயும்
சில நொடிகளில் மரணம் நிகழும்
தெரியும் நீ தந்த காதல் வழியும்
உள்ளே எரியும்...
The bullets rushing towards me
Aming right at the center of my forehead
In a few seconds, death will occur
I know the pain of love given by you
Will burn inside me...
உன்னாலடி விழுந்தாலும் விழுந்தெழுந்தாலும்
என் வாழ்க்கை உன்னாலடி
உன்னாலடி விழுந்தாலும் விழுந்தெழுந்தாலும்
என் வாழ்க்கை உன்னாலடி
Because of you, whether I fall or rise after falling
My life exists because of you, my girl
Because of you, whether I fall or rise after falling
My life exists because of you, my girl
பொட்டும் போகட்டுமே
நீ மறைஞ்சாலும் காதல் துணை வருமே
சாகும் நாள் வருமே
அது வரைக்கும் இந்த வழி தான் உயிர் தருமே
Let it be, let it happen
Even if you disappear, love will accompany me
The day of death will arrive
Until then, this pain alone will give me life
பொட்டும் போகட்டுமே
நீ மறைஞ்சாலும் காதல் துணை வருமே
சாகும் நாள் வருமே
அது வரைக்கும் இந்த வழி தான் உயிர் தருமே
Let it be, let it happen
Even if you disappear, love will accompany me
The day of death will arrive
Until then, this pain alone will give me life
பெண்ணே உன்னாலடி
என் ஏற்றம் தாழ்வும் உன்னாலடி
என் வாழ்வும் சாவும் உன்னாலடி
உன் கடைசி மூச்சை நீ கடந்து சென்றாலும்
Oh girl, it is all because of you
My ups and downs are because of you
My life and death are because of you
Even if you pass beyond your final breath
அடுத்த வாழ்வில் நீ எந்தன் காதலி
ஏழு ஜென்மமும் உன்னை காதலிப்பேன்
இந்த எண்ணம் மனதில் இருந்தால் போதும்
உயிர் பிரிந்தாலும் நான் சிரிப்பேன்
In the next life, you will be my beloved
I will love you across seven lifetimes
If this thought remains in my heart, that is enough
Even if my soul departs, I will smile
உன் காதல்...
உன் காதல் எனை நெஞ்சே ஆனாலும்
இல்லாமல் போனாலும்
Your love...
Even if your love becomes my heart's solace
Or even if it ceases to exist
பொட்டும் போகட்டுமே
நீ மறைஞ்சாலும் காதல் துணை வருமே
சாகும் நாள் வருமே
அது வரைக்கும் இந்த வழி தான் உயிர் தருமே
Let it be, let it happen
Even if you disappear, love will accompany me
The day of death will arrive
Until then, this pain alone will give me life
போயிட்டு போகட்டுமே
நீ மறந்தாலும் காதல் துணை வருமே
வாழும் நாள் வருமே
அது வரைக்கும் இந்த வழி தான் உயிர்
Let it go on
Even if you forget me, love will accompany me
A day to live will come
Until then, this pain alone is my life
போயிட்டு போகட்டுமே
நீ மறந்தாலும் காதல் துணை வருமே
வாழும் நாள் வருமே
அது வரைக்கும் இந்த வழி தான் உயிர்
Let it go on
Even if you forget me, love will accompany me
A day to live will come

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song portrays the protagonist's profound, unconditional devotion toward his beloved, embracing both the joy and agony of love. He acknowledges that whether she stays, disappears, or forgets him, his entire life—his ups and downs, life and death—remains tied to her presence. The pain left behind by love becomes his reason to keep living until his final day, giving him strength to face heartbreak and mortality. He promises eternal love that transcends life itself, swearing to remain her lover through seven lifetimes.

Poetic devices
Muran (Antithesis)
“En vaazhvum saavum unnaladi”
Contrasting pairs such as 'vizhunthalum / vizhunthezhunthaalum' (falling / rising) and 'vaazhvum / saavum' (life / death) highlight the emotional extremes caused by love.
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Pottum pogattumae / Nee marainjaalum kaadhal thunai varumae”
Matching end sounds across lines like 'pogattumae', 'varumae', and 'tharumae' establish a soothing rhythmic flow in the chorus.
Metaphor
“Enai nookki paayum thoottakal / En netri pottai kuri vaithu paayum”
Comparing emotional torment and impending heartbreak to bullets rushing directly towards the center of his forehead.
