உன் சுவாசம்
என் மீது விழுகையில்
உள் நெஞ்சில் தீ ஒன்று
எரிகையில் அன்பே
விழுந்தேன் உன்னுள்
தொலைந்தேன்
Your breath
As it falls upon me
As a fire burns deep within my heart
My love, I fell
I got lost inside you
உன் பார்வை
என் மீது படுகையில்
உனக்காக என் நாட்கள்
விடிகையில் மீண்டும்
பிறந்தேன் என்னை
மறந்தேன்
Your gaze
As it falls upon me
As my days dawn for you
I was born again
I forgot myself
பட பட
படவென மை விழி
பேசிட மனசுக்குள்
மழை துளி குதிக்கிறதே
With a clatter and chatter
Rumbling fast
A train in my heart
Crosses by
தட தட
தடவென கட கட
கடவென இதயத்தில்
ரயில் ஒன்று கடக்கிறதே
A volcano and an ice mountain
Right between the two
You make me stand today
Sunny season in the eyes
Rainy season in the heart
You gave it all abundantly, my life
எரிமலை பனிமலை
இரண்டுக்கும் நடுவிலே
என்னை இன்று நிறுத்துகிறாய்
கண்ணில் வெயில் காலம்
நெஞ்சில் மழை காலம்
அள்ளி தந்தாயே உயிரே
Oh... your breath
As it falls upon me
As a fire burns deep within my heart
My love, I fell
I got lost inside you
ஓ உன் சுவாசம்
என் மீது விழுகையில்
உள் நெஞ்சில் தீ ஒன்று
எரிகையில் அன்பே
விழுந்தேன் உன்னுள்
தொலைந்தேன்
Yo baby girl
It's enough if you just come
My troubles
Will turn into happiness
Moving away and away
Don't leave me and go
If you give me a kiss
It won't diminish
யோ பேபி கல்
நீ வந்தாலே போதுமே
என் கஷ்டங்கள் சந்தோசம்
ஆகுமே விலகி விலகி என்ன
விட்டுட்டு போகாதே முத்தம்
ஒன்று கொடுத்தால் கொறஞ்சி
போகாதே
Keep in your heart
You are a fighting rooster
Oh...hoo
Boy anytime
I am your darling chick
Oh...hoo
For the heart to beat
You became my breath
கீப் இன் யுவர்
ஹார்ட் யூ ஆர் எ சண்டை
கோழி ஓ ஹோ பாய் எனிடைம்
அம் யுவர் செல்ல கோழி ஓ
ஹோ இதயம் துடித்திட
சுவாசம் ஆனாயே
Yeah.. come on..
யா கம் ஆன்
Because of you, I struggled
Oh dear, I tottered
Oh girl, I fought
But I celebrated
உன்னால்
திண்டாடினேன்
ஐயோ தள்ளாடினேன்
பெண்ணே போராடினேன்
ஆனால் கொண்டாடினேன்
A child and a young woman
She is a combination of both
My heart seeing you
Admires you
குழந்தையும்
குமரியும் இணைந்தவள்
இவளென என் மனம்
உன்னை கண்டு ரசிக்கிறதே
Blushing red in anger
When looking at your cheek
To do mischievous acts
I feel like doing so
கோபத்தில்
சிவந்திடும் கன்னத்தை
பார்க்கையில் குறும்புகள்
செய்திட பிடிக்கின்றதே
Even knowing the clues
Even having witnesses
Where are you kidnapping me to?
Sunny season in the eyes
Rainy season in the heart
You gave it all abundantly, my life
தடயங்கள்
தெரிந்துமே சாட்சிகள்
இருந்துமே என்னை
எங்கு கடத்துகிறாய்
கண்ணில் வெயில்
காலம் நெஞ்சில் மழை
காலம் அள்ளி தந்தாயே
உயிரே
Oh... your breath
As it falls upon me
As a fire burns deep within my heart
My love, I fell
I got lost inside you
ஓ உன் சுவாசம்
என் மீது விழுகையில்
உள் நெஞ்சில் தீ ஒன்று
எரிகையில் அன்பே
விழுந்தேன் உன்னுள்
தொலைந்தேன்
Aaa...aaaa...aaaaa
Aaa...aaaa...aaaaa
Aaa...aaaaaaa...aaaaa...

Girl, your thoughts
Are like flower fragrance in the breeze
I gave myself in your hands
If you accept, embrace me
பெண்ணே உன்
யோசனை காற்றில் பூ
வாசனை கையில் தந்தேன்
என்னை ஏற்றால் என்னை
அன்னை
Every single day in dreams
Just for you to come
Closing my eyes, I
Sleep
தினம் தினம்
கனவினில் நீ வர தானடி
கண்களை மூடி நான்
தூங்குகிறேன்
Inside my heart for you
To build a palace
From the moon, stones
I buy
மனசுக்குள்
உனக்கென மாளிகை
அமைத்திட நிலவினில்
கற்களை வாங்குகிறேன்
There is no wick, no fire
Casting a smile
You light a flame with your gaze
Sunny season in the eyes
Rainy season in the heart
You gave it all abundantly, my life
திரி இல்லை
தீ இல்லை புன்னகை
வீசிடும் பார்வையில்
கொளுத்துகிறாய் கண்ணில்
வெயில் காலம் நெஞ்சில்
மழை காலம் அள்ளி
தந்தாயே உயிரே
Your breath
As it falls upon me
As a fire burns deep within my heart
My love, I fell
I got lost inside you
உன் சுவாசம்
என் மீது விழுகையில்
உள் நெஞ்சில் தீ ஒன்று
எரிகையில் அன்பே
விழுந்தேன் உன்னுள்
தொலைந்தேன்
Your gaze
As it falls upon me
As my days dawn for you
I was born again
I forgot myself...
Ennn...ehhhnnnnn...eehnnnn...
உன் பார்வை
என் மீது படுகையில்
உனக்காக என் நாட்கள்
விடிகையில் மீண்டும்
பிறந்தேன் என்னை
மறந்தேன் என்.......

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Un Swaasam' from the movie Eetti expresses the intense rush of romantic passion and intimacy between two lovers. The protagonist describes how the mere touch of his lover's breath and gaze ignites a transformative fire within his heart, making him feel reborn while completely losing his self-awareness in her presence. He describes his inner turmoil as both exciting and overwhelming, comparing it to standing between a volcano and an iceberg.
