உன் பேரை
சொல்லும் போதே உள்
நெஞ்சில் கொண்டாட்டம்
உன்னோடு வாழதானே
உயிர் வாழும் போராட்டம்
நீ பார்க்கும் போதே மழை
ஆவேன் ஓ… உன் அன்பில்
கண்ணீர் துளி ஆவேன் நீ
இல்லை என்றால் என் ஆவேன்
ஓ… நெருப்போடு வெந்தே
மண் ஆவேன்
When I say your name, my inner heart celebrates.
Life's struggle is only meant to live with you.
When you look at me, I turn into rain, oh hoo..
In your love, I become a tear drop.
If you are not there, what will become of me? Oh hoo..
Burning in fire, I will turn into soil.

நீ பேரழகில் போர்
நடத்தி என்னை வென்றாய்
கண் பார்க்கும் போதே
பார்வையாலே கடத்தி சென்றாய்
Waging a war with your exquisite beauty, you conquered me.
Right before my eyes, you kidnapped me with your gaze.
நான் பெண்ணாக
பிறந்ததற்கு அர்த்தம் சொன்னாய்
முன் அறியாத வெட்கங்கள்
நீயே தந்தாய்
You gave meaning to my birth as a woman.
You gave me shyness I had never known before.
என் உலகம்
தனிமை காடு நீ வந்தாய்
பூக்களோடு என்னை தொடரும்
கனவுகளோடு பெண்ணே பெண்ணே
My world was a lonely forest, but you came with flowers.
Along with dreams that follow me, oh girl, oh girl.
நீ இல்லை என்றால்
என் ஆவேன் ஓ… நெருப்போடு
வெந்தே மண் ஆவேன்
Oh, if you are not there, what will become of me? Oh hoo..
Burning in fire, I will turn into soil.

உன் அன்பில்
கண்ணீர் துளி ஆவேன்
In your love, I become a tear drop.
உன் கருங்கூந்தல்
குழலாகதான் எண்ணம்
தோன்றும் உன் காதோரம்
உரையாடிதான் ஜென்மம் தீரும்
If you are not there, what will become of me? Oh hoo…
உன் மார்போடு
சாயும் அந்த மயக்கம்
போதும் என் மனதோடு
சேர்த்து வைத்த வலிகள் தீரும்
Burning in fire, I will turn into soil.
உன் காதல் ஒன்றை
தவிர என் கையில் ஒன்றும்
இல்லை அதை தாண்டி ஒன்றுமே
இல்லை பெண்ணே பெண்ணே
நீ இல்லை என்றால் என் ஆவேன்
ஓ… நெருப்போடு வெந்தே மண்
ஆவேன்
A desire arises that your dark long hair become a flute.
Conversations whispering near your ears will complete this life.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Un Perai Sollum Pothae from Angadi Theru is an intensely emotional love song expressing deep devotion, vulnerability, and passion. The protagonist conveys how the mere mention of their lover's name brings sheer joy, and how life itself gains purpose only through their togetherness. Without the loved one, existence feels completely meaningless, comparable to burning into ashes and soil. The lyrics highlight how love transforms a desolate, lonely life into a garden of blooming flowers and sweet dreams. The song captures total surrender to love, where small moments like a glance or whisper bring complete fulfillment and heal deep-seated inner pain.
