Un kaadhalaal udainthathe karvam
Mounathil mayangum penmani naanum
Un vaarthaiyil sidharuthu sitham
Kanmaniyena nee azhaithida naanum
Manam ariya pudhu vidha yekkam
Endhan uyir varai un kadhalai thakkum
Kangal adhu unai mattum paarkum
Enadhu penmai un aruginil thorkkum
Ohhhooo
Male :Kanmani kanmani aasai aasaiyaai koodudhae
En manadhil unai mattum ketkudhae yerkudhae
Endrum unakkullae tholaindhida thonudhadi
Un kaadhalaal udainthathe karvam
Mounathil mayangum penmani naanum
Theeyna therindhum arugil vara thunindhenadi
Valiyena arindhum sugathai idhil unardhenadi
Neerai neruppin adiyil sumandhenada
Unakkul ezhumoo oru theechudaraa
Mei marandhu theeyil medhuvaai erindhen
Vizhundha idamae theeyilla
Neeyendru pinbae purindhen

Unnnai naan adhil izhuthu vittenoo
My pride shattered because of your love,
And I am a woman lost in your silence.
My mind scatters at your words,
Whenever you call me your darling.
A strange new longing my heart has never known,
Your love strikes deep into my soul.
My eyes look only at you,
And my womanhood surrenders by your side.
Oh oh...
My darling, sweet desires keep growing within me,
My heart asks only for you and accepts only you.
I long to lose myself inside you forever.
My pride shattered because of your love,
And I am a woman lost in your silence.
Even knowing you are fire, I dared to come near you,
Even knowing it brings pain, I found sweet pleasure in it.
I carried water beneath the fire, my love,
Will a flame rise within you too?
Forgetting myself, I gently threw myself into the flame,
The place where I fell was not fire,
It was you—I realized only later.
Oho...
My sweet thief,
I have always been the one who hurt you.
Even so,
Look at me just once and say it,
And I will come alive in your embrace.
Were you the one broken by my love?
Why is this silence killing us?
Without knowing where my desires would lead,
I drew you deep into my soul.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This soulful track portrays the vulnerability, passion, and emotional conflict experienced by two lovers. The female protagonist reflects on how her ego and pride completely dissolved upon falling in love, leading her into a deep state of surrender. Even though love feels like playing with fire and brings emotional turmoil, she finds pleasure in that exquisite pain. The song explores the dualities of silence and confession, passion and healing. The lovers grapple with the overwhelming force of their mutual affection, questioning if their intense desire inadvertently hurt each other, while ultimately yearning for warmth, connection, and solace in each other's presence.
