உனக்காகவே உயிர் வாழ்கிறேன்
நீ சொல்லடி சாகிறேன் உடனே
எதிர் காற்றிலே குடைப் போலவே
உன்னைப் பார்த்ததும் சாய்கிறேன் உயிரே
என் மார்பை பிளந்தால் உன் ரூபமே
I live my life only for you
Just say the word, my girl, and I will die instantly
Like an umbrella in a headwind
The moment I see you, I bend over, my life
If my chest is split open, only your form will be inside
டச் பை ஆன் ஏஞ்சல்
எங்கெங்கும் மின்னல் பாயட்டும்
டச் பை ஆன் ஏஞ்சல்
என் கை உன் கை சேரட்டும்
Touched by an angel
Let lightning strike everywhere
Touched by an angel
Let my hand join with your hand
மலை ஓரத்தில் ஒரு மரத்தடி
அங்குச் சின்னதாய் ஒரு வீடடி
சுற்றி எங்கிலும் தனிமை
உன் ஈரக் கூந்தல்
என் மீது மோத வேண்டுமே
உன் மேனி வாசம்
என் ஆவல் திண்ட வேண்டுமே
Underneath a tree at the edge of a mountain
A small house right there, my girl
Solitude all around us
Your damp hair
Should brush against me
The fragrance of your body
My longing desires to touch it
டச் பை ஆன் ஏஞ்சல்
எங்கெங்கும் மின்னல் பாயட்டும்
டச் பை ஆன் ஏஞ்சல்
Touched by an angel
Let lightning strike everywhere
Touched by an angel
முதல் காதல் உண்மையில்
இறகு தான்
அள்ளிச் சேர்க்குதே இந்த மனசு தான்
அது வளருமா அன்பே
காத்தாடி போலே
என் காதல் ஆகும் ஆகுமே
கை விட்டுப் போனால்
எங்கேயோ போகும் போகுமே
First love, in truth
Is like a feather
This heart gathers it all tenderly
Will it grow, my love?
Like a kite
My love will soar higher and higher
If the string slips from the hand
It will drift away to somewhere unknown

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
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.
