Standing in front of the mirror,

அவ்வாறு நோக்கினாள்
எவ்வாறு நாணுவேன்
கண்ணாடி முன்நின்று
பார்த்து கொண்டேன்
ஒன்றாக செய்திட
ஒரு நூறு நாடகம்
ஒத்திகைகள் செய்து
எதிர்பார்த்து இருந்தேன்
Without expecting it,
Without expecting it,
Oh, coming from behind me,
Spinning me like a top,
With his vast mouth that swallowed the universe,
He pressed his lips onto mine!
That a world called Earth exists here,
This flower-like maiden completely forgot!
எதிர் பாராமலே.... அவன்
எதிர் பாராமலே அவன்
ஓஓஓ பின்னிருந்து வந்து எனை
பம்பரமாய் சுழற்றி விட்டு
உலகுண்ட பெரு வாயில் எந்தன்
வாயோடு வாய் பதித்தாள்
இங்கு பூலோகம் என்று
ஒரு பொருள் உள்ளதை
இந்த பூங்கோதை மறந்தாளாடி
Like the clothes worn upon the body,
Will you wear me as your attire?
From now on you, from now on you... oh Krishna!
உடலணிந்த ஆடை போல்
எனை அணிந்து கொள்வாயா
இனி நீ.. இனி நீ.... கண்ணா
From my sleepless eyes,
It is Krishna who stole my sleep away,
From now on you, from now on you...
தூங்காத என் கண்ணின்
துயிலுரித்த கண்ணன் தான்
இனி நீ இனி நீ...
Without this having happened,
Without having seen you,
If this entire life had passed away in vain,
Thinking about that now,
Without yearning in useless despair,
I will turn you into my breath and live, my beloved!
இது நேராமலே நான்
உன்னை பாராமலே நான்
இந்த முழு ஜென்மம் போய் இருந்தால்
என்று அதை எண்ணி
வீண் ஏக்கம் ஏங்காமலே
உன்னை மூச்சாகி வாழ்வானேடா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Unnai Kaanadhu Naan' is a semi-classical Kathak dance song from the movie Vishwaroopam (2012). Composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and rendered by Kamal Haasan along with Shankar Mahadevan, the song expresses Nayaka-Nayaki bhava (soul longing for the Divine) centered around Radha's devotion for Krishna. The lyrics blend classical imagery from Vaishnavite traditions with romantic yearning, comparing Krishna to a magical thief who steals hearts and bestows bliss. The character portrays Radha rehearsing love plays in front of a mirror, longing for Krishna's arrival. She describes the divine encounter where Krishna spins her like a top and kisses her with the mouth that holds the universe, erasing her awareness of the earthly world. The song resolves in complete surrender, declaring Krishna to be her very breath and existence.
