உனக்காக உயிரை வைத்தேன்
எடுத்துக் கொள்ளடி
உயிருக்குள் மெத்தைப் போட்டு
படுத்துக் கொள்ளடி
I have saved my life just for you
Take it, my beloved girl..
Spread a mattress inside my soul
And lie down to rest, my girl..
உனக்காக உயிரை வைத்தேன்
எடுத்துக் கொள்ளடி
உயிருக்குள் மெத்தைப் போட்டு
படுத்துக் கொள்ளடி
I have saved my life just for you
Take it, my beloved girl..
Spread a mattress inside my soul
And lie down to rest, my girl..
முள் வேலிப் போட்டாலும்
காற்றில் தான் மோதும்
கடல் தாண்டி போனாலும்
காதல் சேரும்
Even if a fence of thorns is raised
The wind will still blow through and collide
Even if one goes across the seas
True love will eventually unite
எந்தன் கண்கள் எனதே இல்லை
எனக்குள்ளே இதயம் இல்லை
உயிர் தவிர ஒன்றும் இல்லை ஓஓஒ....
My eyes do not belong to me anymore
There is no heart left within me
Nothing remains inside except my soul, oh...
உனக்காக உயிரை வைத்தேன்
எடுத்துக் கொள்ளடா
உயிருக்குள் மெத்தைப் போட்டு
படுத்துக் கொள்ளடா
பாதைகள் இல்லாமல் பயணம் போனேன்
மண்ணோடு புதையாத வேராய் ஆனேன்
I have saved my life just for you
Take it, my beloved..
Spread a mattress inside my soul
And lie down to rest, my dear..
I went on a journey without any defined paths
I became a root that could not be buried in the soil
பூவின் வாசம் போகும்போது
உந்தன் வாசம் நெஞ்சில் தோன்றும்
நானோ இன்று ஏதோ ஆனேன்
When the fragrance of flowers fades away
Your scent arises inside my heart
I have become something entirely different today
ஹா ஆ ஆ ஆஅ ஹா ஆஆ ஆஅ
Haa aa aa aa aa haa aa aa aa
Unakkaaga uyirai vaithen
I have saved my life just for you
Eduthukkolladi..
Take it, my beloved girl..
Uyirukkul methaipottu
Spread a mattress inside my soul
Paduthukkolladi..
And lie down to rest, my girl..
Unakkaaga uyirai vaithen
I have saved my life just for you
Eduthukkolladi..
Take it, my beloved girl..
Uyirukkul methaipottu
Spread a mattress inside my soul
Paduthukkolladi..
And lie down to rest, my girl..
Mull vaeli pottaalum
Even if a fence of thorns is raised
Kaatril thaan modhum
The wind will still blow through and collide
Kadal thaandi ponaalum
Even if one goes across the seas
Kaadhal saerum
True love will eventually unite
Endhan kangal enadhae illai
My eyes do not belong to me anymore
Enakkullae idhayame illai
There is no heart left within me
Uyir thavira ondrum illai o o o……
Nothing remains inside except my soul, oh...
Unakkaaga uyirai vaithen
I have saved my life just for you
Eduthukkollada..
Take it, my beloved..
Uyirukkul methaipottu
Spread a mattress inside my soul
Paduthukkollada..
And lie down to rest, my dear..
Paadhaigal illaamal payanam ponen
I went on a journey without any defined paths
Mannodu pudhaiyaadha veraai aanen
I became a root that could not be buried in the soil
Poovin vaasam pogumbodhu
When the fragrance of flowers fades away
Undhan vaasam nenjil thondrum
Your scent arises inside my heart
Naano indru yedho aanen
I have become something entirely different today
Haa aa aa aa aa haa aa aa aa
Haa aa aa aa aa haa aa aa aa
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Unakkaaga Uyirai Vaithen is an emotional romantic duet from the movie Thambikottai (2011), composed by D. Imman. The song expresses complete surrender in love, where both lovers offer their very souls to one another. They articulate that no physical barrier, whether oceans or thorned fences, can stop their emotional connection and destination. Through expressive poetic lines, the lovers explain how they have lost their individual identities, eyes, and hearts to love, living solely for each other's presence. The song uses vivid metaphors such as roots detached from the soil and lingering scents to describe the deep emotional impact of their love.
