உன் இதழ்களினால் இதயத்திலே
ஏதோ உணர்வு நுழைகிறதே
அது எங்கெங்கோ எனை அழைத்து
வேறாேர் உலகத்தை காட்டிடுதே
Through your lips, into my heart,
Some kind of feeling enters.
It takes me to places unknown,
Showing me a whole different world.
அந்த நினைவை சுமந்தேன்
புது வானில் மிதந்தேனே
இனிதாய் மாறும் இளம் காலம்
நகராது நிற்க வேண்டும்
Carrying those memories,
I floated in a new sky.
This youthful season turning so sweet,
Should freeze and stay without moving.
உன் இதழ்களினால் இதயத்திலே
ஏதோ உணர்வு நுழைகிறதே
Through your lips, into my heart,
Some kind of feeling enters.
பற்றிக் கொண்டது முத்தத்தீ
தித்திக்கும் நினைவில்
சுற்றிப் பரவுது தேகத்தில்
உள்ளதததில் கலந்து
The fire of a kiss caught spark,
In sweet memories,
Spreading all across the body,
Blending into the inner heat.
நினைவெல்லாம் நிறைந்திருப்பாய்
தனிமையில் தள்ளி விடுவாய்
தவித்திருக்கும் எனை திருத்தி
படுக்கையில் கிடக்க வைப்பாய்
You occupy all my thoughts,
Yet you push me into loneliness.
Correcting me as I suffer in yearning,
You lay me down on the bed.
தலையணைக்கே ஒரு துணையானேன்
உனை நான் அணைத்திருப்பேன்
நித்தம் இதுபோல் கழிந்திடுதே
என் இனிக்கும் இளம்பருவம்
I became a companion to my pillow,
Wishing I were embracing you.
Every day passes like this,
In my sweet youthful age.
உன் இதழ்களினால் இதயத்திலே
ஏதோ உணர்வு நுழைகிறதே
அது எங்கெங்கோ எனை அழைத்து
வேறாேர் உலகத்தை காட்டிடுதே
Through your lips, into my heart,
Some kind of feeling enters.
It takes me to places unknown,
Showing me a whole different world.
மனம் ஏன் அலையாய் அலைகிறதே
உன் பாதம் தழுவ
உயிரும் தவியாய் தவித்திருக்கு
உயிரோடு இணைந்திருக்க
Why does the mind wander like waves?
To embrace your feet,
The soul languishes in agony,
To stay united with your soul.
அருகிருந்தால் அருமருந்து
அதுவொரு தனி விருந்து
மனம் இருந்தால் இதை விரும்பு
வரும் வரும் இளம் குறுப்பு
Being near is a rare cure,
It is an exclusive feast.
If you have the heart, desire this,
Youthful mischief will keep coming.
ஒற்றைக்கிளி ஒன்று உலவுதடா
கட்டிக் கலந்திடடா
வேற்றுக் கூட்டினில் மாட்டிக்கொண்டேன்
கூண்டை திறந்து விடவா
A lonely parrot is wandering around,
Hold me tight and merge with me.
I am trapped in an empty cage,
Shall I open the cage and set it free?
உன் இதழ்களினால் இதயத்திலே
ஏதோ உணர்வு நுழைகிறதே
அது எங்கெங்கோ எனை அழைத்து
வேறாேர் உலகத்தை காட்டிடுதே
Through your lips, into my heart,
Some kind of feeling enters.
It takes me to places unknown,
Showing me a whole different world.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Un Idhazhgalinaal' from the movie 'Margazhi Thingal' is a sensual and deeply evocative romantic track centered around passion, tender longing, and emotional awakening. The protagonist describes how the touch or recollection of her lover's lips sparks an indescribable emotion in her heart, floating her mind into an enchanting realm. She reflects on how love ignites an inner warmth that spreads through her body, causing both sweet comfort and agonizing longing during moments of solitude. As the song progresses, she portrays the restless wandering of her mind, comparing her soul's yearning to a wave searching for its shore. She metaphorically depicts herself as a lonely parrot confined within an empty cage, desiring to break free and unite intimately with her beloved. Written and composed by Maestro Ilaiyaraaja, the lyrics capture the classic poetic style of Tamil romantic literature filled with vivid sensory metaphors.
