| Unnai thaan unnai thaan | You alone, you alone |
| En kannil kanden | I saw in my eyes |
| Kann thoongum neraththilum | Even when my eyes are asleep |
| Ennai thaan ennai thaan | Myself alone, myself alone |
| Un vasam thandhen | I gave myself to your possession |
| Nee illaa dhooraththilum | Even across distances where you are not there |

| Andha ennam ennil illai | Yet that thought is not within me |
| Enakkullae iruppadhu nee dhaan | The one living inside me is only you |

உன்னைத்தான் உன்னைத்தான்
என் கண்ணில் கண்டேன்
கண் தூங்கும் நேரத்திலும்
என்னைத்தான் என்னைத்தான்
உன் வசம் தந்தேன்
நீ இல்லா தூரத்திலும்
You alone, you alone
I saw in my eyes
Even when my eyes are asleep
Myself alone, myself alone
I gave myself to your possession
Even across distances where you are not there
அக்கம் பக்கம் நீதான் இல்லை
அந்த எண்ணம் என்னில் இல்லை
எனக்குள்ளே இருப்பது நீதான்
You are not nearby, around me
Yet that thought is not within me
The one living inside me is only you
உன்னைத்தான் உன்னைத்தான்
என் கண்ணில் கண்டேன்
கண் தூங்கும் நேரத்திலும்
என்னைத்தான் என்னைத்தான்
உன் வசம் தந்தேன்
நீ இல்லா தூரத்திலும்
You alone, you alone
I saw in my eyes
Even when my eyes are asleep
Myself alone, myself alone
I gave myself to your possession
Even across distances where you are not there

பார்வைக்குள் வந்து
பல நாள் பல நாள் என்னை
திண்டாட வைத்தாளே
போர்வைக்குள் வந்து
ஒரு நாள் ஒரு நாள் என்னை
கொண்டாட செய்தாளே
Coming into my sight
For many days, for many days
She made me struggle
Coming under the blanket
One day, one day
She made me celebrate
நேரமும் இல்லாமல்
காலமும் இல்லாமல்
உன்னையே யோசித்தேன் எனக்குள்ளயே
Without restriction of time
Without restriction of era
I kept thinking only of you inside myself
உள்ளுக்குள்ளே உள்ளுக்குள்ளே
ஆயிரம் குற்றாலம்
உன் பெயர் நான் சொல்லும்போது
லட்சம் ஜென்மம் லட்சம் ஜென்மம்
உன்னுடன் சேர்ந்துதான்
வாழ்ந்திட்ட ஆனந்தம் போதும்
Deep inside me, deep inside me
A thousand Courtallam waterfalls cascade
When I say your name
A hundred thousand births, a hundred thousand births
Being united with you
The bliss of having lived that is enough
உன்னைத்தான் உன்னைத்தான்
என் கண்ணில் கண்டேன்
கண் தூங்கும் நேரத்திலும்
என்னைத்தான் என்னைத்தான்
உன் வசம் தந்தேன்
நீ இல்லா தூரத்திலும்
You alone, you alone
I saw in my eyes
Even when my eyes are asleep
Myself alone, myself alone
I gave myself to your possession
Even across distances where you are not there
ஏன் என்ன ஆச்சு
இவளை இவளை எண்ணி
பைத்தியம் ஆனேனே
வாய் மூச்சு பேச்சு
உளறல் குளறல் எல்லாம்
புரியாமல் போனேனே
Why, what happened?
Thinking of her, of her
I became mad
Breath from mouth and speech
All the mumbling and blabbering
I went without understanding them
சாலைகள் எல்லாமே
அவளிடம் போகிறதே
எத்தனை ஆசைகள் கணக்கில்லையே
All the roads
Are leading towards her
How many desires, beyond count!
முன்னே வந்து முன்னே வந்து
என் முகம் பார்க்கத்தான்
கண்ணாடி பார்க்கின்றேன் நானே
கண்ணாடிக்குள் உந்தன் பிம்பம்
தோன்றுது கண்ணில்தான்
வாழ்த்துக்கள் சொல்கின்றேன் நானே
Coming forward, coming forward
Just to look at my face
I look into the mirror myself
Inside the mirror, your image
Appears right in my eyes
I congratulate myself
உன்னைத்தான் உன்னைத்தான்
என் கண்ணில் கண்டேன்
கண் தூங்கும் நேரத்திலும்
என்னைத்தான் என்னைத்தான்
உன் வசம் தந்தேன்
நீ இல்லா தூரத்திலும்
You alone, you alone
I saw in my eyes
Even when my eyes are asleep
Myself alone, myself alone
I gave myself to your possession
Even across distances where you are not there
ஹ்ம்ம்.....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses the overwhelming feelings of love, longing, and omnipresent attachment experienced by the protagonist towards his beloved. Regardless of physical distance, the protagonist feels the lover's presence constantly—whether dreaming during sleep or walking awake. Uttering her name brings an immense surge of joy compared poetically to a thousand cascading waterfalls, filling his life with a contentment equivalent to living a hundred thousand lifetimes together.
