Unakkaagavae uyir vaazhgiren
Nee solladi saagiren udanae
Edhir kaatrilae kudai polavae
Unnai paarthathum saaigiren uyirae
En maarbai pizhanthaal un roobamaae
Touch by an angel
Engengum minnal paayattum
Touch by an angel
En kai un kai serattum
Malai orathil oru marathadi
Angu chinnathaai oru veedadi
Sutri engilum thanimai
Un eera koondhal
En meedhu modha vendumae
Un meni vaasam
En aaval theenda vendumae
Touch by an angel
Engengum minnal paayattum
Touch by an angel
Mudhal kaadhal unmaiyil
Iragu thaan
Alli serkuthae intha manasu thaan
Adhu valaruma anbae
Kaathadi polae
En kaadhal aagum aagumae
Kai vittu ponaal
Engeyo pogum pogumae
Touch by an angel
Engengum minnal paayattum
Touch by an angel
Touch by an angel
Engengum minnal paayattum
Touch by an angel
I live only for you
Just say the word, and I will die this very moment
Like an umbrella against a headwind
I bend and yield the moment I see you, my life
If my chest is split open, only your image will be there
Touched by an angel
Let lightning strike everywhere
Touched by an angel
Let my hand join with yours
Under a tree by the mountainside
In a small little home right there
Surrounded all around by solitude
Your wet hair
Must brush against me
The fragrance of your body
Must touch my longing
Touched by an angel
Let lightning strike everywhere
Touched by an angel
In truth, first love
Is just a feather
And this heart keeps gathering it up
Will it grow, my love?
Just like a kite
My love will turn out to be
If it slips out of hand
It will drift away somewhere far
Touched by an angel
Let lightning strike everywhere
Touched by an angel
Touched by an angel
Let lightning strike everywhere
Touched by an angel

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This track from 'Moondru Per Moondru Kaadhal' is a passionate romantic ballad expressing absolute devotion, intimacy, and the fragility of first love. The protagonist declares his willingness to give up everything for his beloved, describing how her very presence bends his world like a strong wind blowing against an umbrella. He envisions a quiet, secluded life with her in a cozy house by the mountainside, away from the rest of the world. Na. Muthu Kumar uses gentle imagery to depict love's dual nature: it is as soft and light as a feather gathered tenderly by the heart, yet as high-soaring and vulnerable as a kite flying in the sky that could drift away if let go. The recurring refrain 'Touch by an angel' frames the beloved as a divine entity whose touch creates electric spark-like sensations.
