உன் பார்வையில்
ஓராயிரம் உன் பார்வையில்
ஓராயிரம் கவிதை நான்
எழுதுவேன் காற்றில் நானே
In your gaze, a thousand...
In your gaze, a thousand...
I will write poetry in the air myself
உன் பார்வையில்
ஓராயிரம் கவிதை நான்
எழுதுவேன் காற்றில் நானே
நிதமும் உன்னை நினைக்கிறேன்
நினைவினாலே அணைக்கிறேன்
In your gaze, a thousand...
I will write poetry in the air myself
Every day I think of you
I embrace you through my thoughts
உன் பார்வையில்
ஓராயிரம் கவிதை நான்
எழுதுவேன் காற்றில் நானே
In your gaze, a thousand...
I will write poetry in the air myself
அசைத்து இசைத்தது
வளைக்கரம்தான்
இசைந்து இசைத்தது
புது ஸ்வரம்தான்
The bangled hand moved and played music
Male: Consenting, it played a new musical note
சிரித்த சிரிப்பொலி
சிலம்பொலிதான்
கழுத்தில் இருப்பது
வலம்புரிதான்
Giving as much as possible while it lasts
Female: Giving as much as possible while it lasts
இருக்கும் வரைக்கும்
எடுத்துக்கொடுக்கும்
இருக்கும் வரைக்கும்
எடுத்துக்கொடுக்கும்
I lost my heart to the peacock
Female: Swooning, I fell day after day
மனதை
மயிலிடம் இழந்தேனே
பெண் : மயங்கி தினம்
தினம் விழுந்தேனே
Forgetting... Female: Existing...
Male: Flying every day to rejoice...
மறந்து
இருந்து
பறந்து
தினம் மகிழ
In your gaze, a thousand...
I will write poetry in the air myself
Every day I think of you
I embrace you through my thoughts
உன் பார்வையில்
ஓராயிரம் கவிதை நான்
எழுதுவேன் காற்றில் நானே
நிதமும் உன்னை நினைக்கிறேன்
நினைவினாலே அணைக்கிறேன்
In your gaze, a thousand...
I will write poetry in the air myself
உன் பார்வையில்
ஓராயிரம் கவிதை நான்
எழுதுவேன் காற்றில் நானே
Embracing it, the pillow got completely soaked
What is the next step I should take?
The bed was spread just for you
Bending the waist to embrace me
அணைத்து நனைந்தது
தலையணைதான் அடுத்த
அடியென்ன எடுப்பது நான்
படுக்கை விரித்தது
உனக்கெனத்தான் இடுப்பை
வளைத்தேனை அணைத்திடத்தான்
You forgot to think of me, so I flew alone
You forgot to think of me, so I flew alone
Will you lift the veil hiding your face?
Will you open the inner cell of your heart?
To stay, feast, and let two hearts unite
நினைக்க மறந்தாய்
தனித்துப் பறந்தேன் நினைக்க
மறந்தாய் தனித்துப் பறந்தேன்
மறைத்த முகத்திரை திறப்பாயோ
திறந்து அகசிறை இருப்பாயோ
இருந்து விருந்து இரண்டு
மனம் இணைய
In your gaze, a thousand...
I will write poetry in the air myself
Every day I think of you
I embrace you through my thoughts
உன் பார்வையில்
ஓராயிரம் கவிதை நான்
எழுதுவேன் காற்றில் நானே
நிதமும் உன்னை நினைக்கிறேன்
நினைவினாலே அணைக்கிறேன்
In your gaze, a thousand...
I will write poetry in the air myself
உன் பார்வையில்
ஓராயிரம் கவிதை நான்
எழுதுவேன் காற்றில் நானே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Un Paarvaiyil Oraayiram is a poetic romantic melody that captures the intense longing and deep emotional connection between two lovers. The speaker conveys that a single glance from their beloved inspires thousands of poetic thoughts that float freely in the air. The song beautifully blends romantic daydreams, physical presence, and the comforting comfort found in shared thoughts.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Monai (Initial Alliteration)
“Nithamum unnai ninaikiren / Ninaivinaalae anaikiren”
Repetition of the initial 'Ni' sound across consecutive lines enhances the rhythmic flow.
Edhugai (Second-letter Rhyme)
“Padukkai virithathu unakenathaan / Iduppai valaithenai anaithidathaan”
The second consonant sound 'du' matches in consecutive lines, adding structural harmony.
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navarchithani)
“Un paarvaiyil oraayiram / Kavithai naan yezhuthuven kaatril naanae”
Expressing the ability to write a thousand poems in the air inspired merely by a gaze is an exaggeration used to heighten romantic expression.
Metaphor
“Thirandhu aghasirai iruppaayo”
'Aghasirai' (inner prison) acts as a metaphor for the captive feelings in the heart.
