Because of you, my eyes wander dazed,
unable to sleep, my soul longs for you everywhere.
Like warm mist, you swept over me,
and filled your gaze with tenderness.
As you kept touching me, I blossomed like a flower,
and I felt the fragrance of my womanhood.
As you came closer and closer, I felt desire rise,
and I let down the guard of my manhood.
I used to think past lives were all a lie,
until I looked into your eyes and saw it was true.
Every physical form will one day leave the body,
but the love deep in the soul will never die.
Because of you, my eyes wander dazed,
unable to sleep, my soul longs for you everywhere.
I discovered something magical in you,
and felt a burning fire within myself.
I saw you as the very breath of my life,
and placed all of myself into your hands.
As my eyes plead with tender love,
my heart races completely out of my control.
Because of you, my eyes wander dazed,
unable to sleep, my soul longs for you everywhere.
As the full moon looks down upon us,
scattering magic into the air,
as our hands intertwine and bring warmth,
I cast aside all shyness and surrender myself.
A love that survives even past death,
I can see it shining in the corners of your eyes.
Because of you, my eyes wander dazed,
unable to sleep, my soul longs for you everywhere.
Like warm mist, you swept over me,
and filled your gaze with tenderness.
As you kept touching me, I blossomed like a flower,
and I felt the fragrance of my womanhood.
As you came closer and closer, I felt desire rise,
and I let down the guard of my manhood.
I used to think past lives were all a lie,
until I looked into your eyes and saw it was true.
Every physical form will one day leave the body,
but the love deep in the soul will never die.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Unnaalae Kangal Thallaadi from the movie Darling (2015) is a soulful duet expressing eternal love and spiritual connection between two lovers. The lyrics highlight how physical touch and emotional intimacy awaken their true selves, breaking down personal inhibitions and convincing them of deep soul connections spanning across lifetimes. Despite the film's horror-comedy genre, this romantic track composed and sung by G. V. Prakash Kumar (alongside Shalini) features evocative poetry by Na. Muthukumar. It presents the core idea that while physical bodies inevitably perish, true love residing in the heart transcends death and endures forever.
