உன்னை நெனச்சிட
உன்னை நெனச்சிட
உள்ளம் உருகுது
உருகுது மெல்ல
ஓ ஓ ஓ மெல்ல
Just thinking of you
Just thinking of you
My heart melts
It melts slowly
Oh oh oh, slowly
சொல்ல துடிப்பேன் நான்
சொல்ல முழித்திட
சிக்கி தவிப்பதும்
சொக்கி கெடப்பதும் என்ன
ஓ ஓ ஓ என்ன
I yearn to express it
Trying to speak it while wide awake
Why do I get trapped and struggle?
What is this state of being intoxicated in love?
Oh oh oh, what is this?
உன்னை முதலில் பார்த்த நொடி
அடி மனதில் மின்னலடி
நான் இங்கு நான் இல்லை அழகே
கனவில் நான் காண்பதெலாம்
நிஜமாக வேண்டுமடி
நீ எந்தன் உயிர் கேட்க்கும் வரமே
The instant I first saw you
A strike of lightning hit deep within my heart
Oh beautiful one, I am no longer myself here
Whatever I see in my dreams
Must all come true
You are the blessing my soul asks for
உன்னை நெனச்சிட
உன்னை நெனச்சிட
உள்ளம் உருகுது
உருகுது மெல்ல
ஓ ஓ ஓ மெல்ல
Just thinking of you
Just thinking of you
My heart melts

சொல்ல முழித்திட
சிக்கி தவிப்பதும்
சொக்கி கெடப்பதும் என்ன
ஓ ஓ ஓ என்ன
I yearn to express it
Trying to speak it while wide awake
Why do I get trapped and struggle?
What is this state of being intoxicated in love?
Oh oh oh, what is this?
ஜனனம் ஒரு முறை தான்
மரணமும் ஒரு முறை தான்
இடையினில் உனை தேடி செல்லவா
Birth happens only once
Death too happens only once
In between, shall I journey searching for you?
உன்னை நான் அணைத்தபடி
இருக்கணும் இணைந்தபடி
நீ இனி என் பாதி அல்லவா
As I embrace you tightly
I wish for us to stay united
Aren't you my other half from now on?
உன் பேச்சில் மூழ்கிவிட
உன் மார்பில் தூங்கிவிட
ஏக்கங்கள் கொண்டேனே அழகே
மண்மீது வாழ்ந்தவுடன்
விண்மீனாய் ஆவதென்றால்
வானில் நான் உந்தன் அருகே
To drown in your speech
To rest asleep on your chest
I have developed such longings, my beauty
Once life on earth comes to an end
If we are to turn into stars
I will remain beside you in the sky
உன்னை நெனச்சிட
உன்னை நெனச்சிட
உள்ளம் உருகுது
உருகுது மெல்ல
ஓ ஓ ஓ மெல்ல
Just thinking of you
Just thinking of you
My heart melts
It melts slowly
Oh oh oh, slowly
சொல்ல துடிப்பேன் நான்
சொல்ல தொலைத்திட
சிக்கி தவிப்பதும்
சொக்கி கெடப்பதும் என்ன
ஓ ஓ ஓ என்ன
I yearn to express it
Losing myself trying to speak
Why do I get trapped and struggle?
What is this state of being intoxicated in love?
Oh oh oh, what is this?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Unnai Nenachida' is a tender, expressive romantic track depicting the protagonist's deep affection and emotional intoxication upon thinking of his beloved. He expresses how his heart melts slowly and how he feels completely mesmerized, losing his own identity from the moment he first laid eyes on her. Her presence feels like an answered prayer that turns his dreams into reality. In the second verse, he reflects on the philosophical nature of life, noting that birth and death occur only once, making his journey to find and remain with her the ultimate purpose of his existence. He yearns for physical and emotional closeness, wishing to remain by her side even beyond life on earth as stars in the night sky.
