Because of you, because of you, happiness inside me,
I discovered that it truly exists, my dear.
After you arrived, taking your love as my very breath,
I embraced your love, my dear.
உன்னாலே உன்னாலே என்னுள்ளே இன்பம்
உண்டென்று கண்டேனடா
நீ வந்த பின்னாலே என் சுவாசம் என்று
உன் காதல் கொண்டேனடா
In music without sound,
In an unexpected rain,
With you, with you,
Why did I dance?
ஒலி இல்லா இசையில்
நனைக்காத மழையில்
உன்னோடு உன்னோடு நான் ஏன் ஆடினேன்
In a direction without a path,
In a world without sound,
Where am I heading?
வழி இல்லா திசையில்
ஒளி இல்லா உலகில் எங்கே போகிறேன்
My life, my soul, I will never forget you.
My beloved, even if separated, I won't grow distant.
உயிரே உயிரே உனை நான் மறவேனே
உறவே உனை நான் பிறந்தும் விலகேனே
Ha... aaha ha ha....
ஆஹ் ஹா ..ஹா ...
Planets change, you change, man changes, but
My love will never change, my dear.
Even if all the stardust runs out,
My love will never end, my dear.

Though our fate says there is no tomorrow,
Tonight still has some time remaining.
கோள் மாறும் மீன் மாறும்
வான் மாறும் ஆனால்
என் காதல் மாறாதடா
As you trace your lines on the screen of my hand,
I behold love across my entire body.
விண்மீனின் தூசெல்லாம்
தீர்ந்தாலும் கூட
என் காதல் தீராதடா
My life, my soul, I will never forget you.
My beloved, even if separated, I won't grow distant.
நம் விதியோ நாளை இல்லை என்றது
இன்றிரவோ இன்னும் மிச்சம் உள்ளது
Because of you, because of you, happiness inside me,
I discovered that it truly exists, my dear.
After you arrived, taking your love as my very breath,
I embraced your love, my dear.
கையின் திரையில் ஓர் ரேகை நீ வரைய
தேகம் முழுதும் காதல் பாயுதே
உயிரே உயிரே உனை நான் மறவேனே
உறவே உனை நான் பிறந்தும் விலகேனே
உன்னாலே உன்னாலே என்னுள்ளே இன்பம்
உண்டென்று கண்டேனடா

உன் காதல் கொண்டேனடா
Unnaalae unnaalae ennullae inbam
Because of you, because of you, happiness inside me,
Undu endru kandenada

Nee vandha pinnalae en swaasam endru
After you arrived, taking your love as my very breath,
Un kaadhal kondenada
I embraced your love, my dear.
Ozhi illa isaiyil

In a direction without a path,
Ozhi illa ulagil
In a world without sound,
Engae pogiren

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Unnaalae Unnaalae' from Radhe Shyam is a deeply emotional romantic track expressing eternal devotion and spiritual attachment. The protagonist acknowledges how love transformed her inner world, bringing joy and purpose where there was once directionless silence. Even in the face of an uncertain fate or looming tragedy, she asserts that her love is timeless, surviving beyond planetary shifts, cosmic decay, and physical distance.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Adukkuthodar (Repetition for Emphasis)
“Unnaalae unnaalae ennullae inbam”
Words like 'Unnaalae unnaalae', 'Unnodu unnodu', and 'Uyire uyire' are repeated consecutively to intensify emotional fervor and deep longing.
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navitchi Ani)
“Vin meenin dhusellaam theernthaalum kooda / En kaadhal theerathada”
Exaggerated imagery of cosmic elements like stardust running out to highlight the endless, immortal nature of their love.
Edukai (Second-letter Rhyme)
“Vazhi illa dhisaiyil / Ozhi illa ulagil”
Matching of the second consonant sound across consecutive lines ('Ozhi' and 'Nenaikkaadha' / 'Vazhi' and 'Ozhi').
Internal Rhyme / Polyptoton
“Kol maarum nee maarum aan maarum aanal”
Repetition of the verb root 'maarum' (changes) to contrast changing external circumstances against unchanging love.

Trivia
Unlike typical pan-Indian films where a single music composer handles all languages, 'Radhe Shyam' had two entirely different soundtracks. Justin Prabhakaran composed the full original score and songs for all South Indian languages (Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada), while a team of Hindi composers created a separate album for the Hindi version.
