அன்னந்தண்ணி வேணா வேணா
உன்னை எண்ணி வாழ்ந்தால் போதும்
உன் கூட இந்த ஜென்மம் போதும்
I do not need food or water
It is enough if you and I live together
This life with you is enough
பொன்னும் மண்ணும் வேணா வேணா
கொலைக்காரி பேச்சி போதும்
செத்தாலும் கண்கள் உன்னைத் தேடும்
I do not need gold or land
The words of my beloved killer girl Pechi are enough
Even after death, my eyes will seek you
கடல் பாஞ்சு ஊரும் நாடும் மூழ்கும் போது
மூழ்காது மாமன் பாசம்தான்
Even if the ocean surges and drowns towns and country
My uncle's love will never drown
விதி வாளை வீசி என்ன சாய்க்கும் போதும்
சாய்க்காது இந்த நேசம்தான்
Even when fate swings its sword to bring me down
This love will never fall
யாரும் இல்லா காட்டுக்குள்ளே
In a forest where nobody lives
யாரும் இல்லா காட்டுக்குள்ளே
In a forest where nobody lives
யாரும் இல்லா காட்டுக்குள்ளே
உன்ன என்ன விட்டால் போதும்
In a forest where nobody lives
It is enough if you leave just you and me
நீயும் நானும் பார்த்த போதும்
பத்து புள்ள பொறக்கும் பேச்சி
If you and I just look at each other
Pechi who will bear ten children
உன்னை கொல்ல போறேன்
I am going to kill you
உன்னை கொல்ல போறா
She is going to kill you
உன்னை கொல்ல போறேன்
உன்னை கொல்ல போறேன்
முத்தம் கொடுத்தே
நான் உன்னை கொல்ல போறேன்
I am going to kill you
I am going to kill you
Giving a kiss, I
I am going to kill you

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Unnai Kolla Poraen' is a rustic, intensely romantic folk duet from the film Aravaan, composed by singer-turned-composer Karthik. The song conveys the passionate intensity of love through hyperbolic expressions where the heroine playfully threatens to 'kill' her lover with kisses and affection. The lovers express that their connection is so profound that a mere exchange of glances feels fruitful enough to create a family. They renounce all material possessions such as gold, land, and even basic needs like food and water, desiring only each other's companionship in isolation. The lyrics highlight an enduring love that withstands natural disasters, cosmic shifts, and fate itself, continuing even beyond death.
