என்ன தேடி
வந்து நெஞ்சில் தாவுற
உன்னால் நேரம் நின்னு
போச்சே உன்னோட
அணைப்பால ஒன்னும்
தோணல கொஞ்சம் தல
சுத்திப் போச்சே
Coming in search of me
Leaping into my heart
Time stood still because of you
Because of your embrace
I can feel/think of nothing
My head spun a little
ஒரு பார்வையிலே
உயிர் போனதடா உன்கூட
தான் விட்டுப்போகாதே
நான் வாழ்ந்திட
In a single glance
My life left me, oh dear
Only with you
Do not leave me
For me to live
உன் காதல்
இருந்தால் போதும்
போதும் போதும்
உன் காதல் இருந்தால்
போதும் போதும் போதும்
உன் காதல் இருந்தால்
போதும் ஓ போதும் போதும்
If your love is there
It is enough, enough, enough
If your love is there
It is enough, enough, enough
If your love is there, it is enough... ooo...
Enough.....enough.....
என் கால்
ரெண்டும் வழித்தேட
உன் வாசல் வந்தேன்
அது ஏன் என்று தெரியாமல்
தடுமாறினேன்
As my two feet lost their way
I came to your doorstep
Without knowing why
I faltered/stumbled
வேஷம் போட
வேண்டாம் என்று என்
நெஞ்சம் தான் சொல்கின்றதே
No need to wear a mask/pretend
Is what my heart
Tells me..
என் ஆகாயம்
பூலோகம் எல்லாமே
நீதான் உன் மூச்சோடு
மூச்சாக நான் சேரவா
Why, the sky and the earth
Everything is just you
Breath merged with breath
Shall I join with you?
வெள்ளை
காகிதம் நான் காவியம்
ஆனேனோ உன்னைப்
பார்த்ததால்
I am a white paper
Did I become epic poetry?
Just by looking at you
நான் என்னிடம்
தோற்கிறேன் தீயென
தெரிந்தும் கேட்கிறேன்
கண் விழித்திடப் பார்க்கிறேன்
நான் தீராத கனவொன்றில்
தான் தொலைகிறேன்
I lose to myself
Even knowing it is fire, I ask for it
I try to open my eyes
In an endless dream
I am getting lost
உன் காதல்
இருந்தால் போதும்
போதும் போதும்
உன் காதல் இருந்தால்
போதும் போதும் போதும்
உன் காதல் இருந்தால்
போதும் ஓ போதும் போதும்
If your love is there
It is enough, enough, enough
If your love is there
It is enough, enough, enough
If your love is there, it is enough... ooo...
Enough.....enough...
Enna thedi vandhu
Coming in search of me
Nenjil thaavura
Leaping into my heart
Unnaal neram ninnu pochae
Time stood still because of you
Unnoda anaippala
Because of your embrace
Onnum thonala
I can feel/think of nothing
Konjam thala suthi pochae
My head spun a little
Oru parvaiyilae
In a single glance
Uyir ponadhada
My life left me, oh dear
Unkoodadhan
Only with you
Vittu pogadhae
Do not leave me
Naan vaazhndhida
For me to live
Un kaadhal irundhal
If your love is there
Podhum podhum podhum
It is enough, enough, enough
Un kaadhal irundhal
If your love is there
Podhum podhum podhum
It is enough, enough, enough
Un kaadhal irundhal podhum…ooo…
If your love is there, it is enough... ooo...
Podhum…..podhum…..
Enough.....enough.....
En kaal rendum vazhitheda
As my two feet lost their way
Un vaasal vandhen
I came to your doorstep
Adhu yen endru theriyaamal
Without knowing why
Thadumarinen
I faltered/stumbled
Vesham podavendaam
No need to wear a mask/pretend
Endru en nenjam dhaan
Is what my heart
Solgindradhae..
Tells me..
Yen aagayam boologam
Why, the sky and the earth
Ellamae needhan
Everything is just you
Un moochodu moochaga
Breath merged with breath
Naan serava
Shall I join with you?
Vellai kagitham naan
I am a white paper
Kaviyam aaneno
Did I become epic poetry?
Unnai paarthadhal
Just by looking at you
Naan ennidam thorkiren
I lose to myself
Theeyena therindhum ketkiren
Even knowing it is fire, I ask for it
Kan vizhithida parkiren
I try to open my eyes
Nan theeradha kanavondril
In an endless dream
Dhaan tholaigiren
I am getting lost
Un kaadhal irundhal
If your love is there
Podhum podhum podhum
It is enough, enough, enough
Un kaadhal irundhal
If your love is there
Podhum podhum podhum
It is enough, enough, enough
Un kaadhal irundhal podhum…ooo…

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Un Kaadhal Irundhal' expresses the overwhelming depth of affection and emotional surrender felt by a lover. The protagonist feels completely transformed by love—describing how time stops, their mind goes blank, and their very existence feels tied to the presence of their partner. Through beautiful imagery, the lyrics convey that love gives life purpose, turning an empty sheet of paper into poetry. Ultimately, the protagonist declares that having the partner's love is more than enough to navigate all of life's uncertainties.
