Chorus :Ottuthadi vanavillu emmela

Hey, because of you, only because of you...

The globe of the earth spins all on its own, girl!

Hey, with just a look from your eyes,

a rainbow comes and sticks right onto me, girl!

I longed to catch sight of an angel,

Chorus: Back then!

Male: In your presence, that longing is fulfilled,

Chorus: Right now!

A rain of flowers showered the forest,

Chorus: Back then!

Male: Your thoughts gather like a gentle drizzle,

Chorus: Right now!

Hey, because of you, only because of you...

The globe of the earth spins all on its own, girl!

His heart is truly large,

and he gives you a whole place inside it!

Filled with thoughts and dreams of you,

his heart simply melts away!

Oh goodness, do you know?

Every false mask disappears in dreams...

Can it ever come to an end here,

this love that overflows to the brim?

Hey, if you don't look at me,

I lose my appetite for food and water...

If I don't talk about you,

I have no friends, and I don't even feel like myself at all!

I used to wander the town all day long,

Chorus: Back then!

Male: Now I revolve around you just to make you smile,

Chorus: Right now!

If anyone got caught, I would beat them up right away,

Chorus: Back then!

Male: Now I am trapped by love and crying out,

Chorus: Right now!

Because of you, only because of you...

Oh no, no, my heart itself

gets lost every single day just to see you!

Everything here becomes clear,

just like God sees it all!

Hey, what can I say, how do I explain?

You became my everything, and I stood spellbound!

There is no cut from a knife, and yet

you kill me without a word!

I longed to catch sight of an angel,

Chorus: Back then!

Male: In your presence, that longing is fulfilled,

Chorus: Right now!

A rain of flowers showered the forest,

Chorus: Back then!

Male: Your thoughts gather like a gentle drizzle,

Chorus: Right now!

I used to wander the town all day long,

Chorus: Back then!

Male: Now I revolve around you just to make you smile,

Chorus: Right now!

If anyone got caught, I would beat them up right away,

Chorus: Back then!

Male: Now I am trapped by love and crying out,

Chorus: Right now!

Because of you, only because of you...

Chorus: The globe of the earth spins all on its own, girl!

Chorus: a rainbow comes and sticks right onto me, girl!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Unnale Unnale is a vibrant romantic track from the 2011 Tamil action film Osthe. The song expresses the exhilaration and overwhelming emotions experienced by a man deeply in love. He contrasts his past reckless, aimless lifestyle with his present transformed state where his entire universe revolves around his beloved. The playful back-and-forth chorus ('Appo' / 'Ippo') highlights this contrast between his past carefree days and his present devotion to love. Through poetic imagery of spinning globes, rainbows sticking to oneself, and rain of flowers, the protagonist describes how love has softened his tough exterior. He admits that while he used to be a tough fighter, he is now happily trapped in the tender web of love, completely captivated by her eyes and charm.
