உயிரை தொலைத்தேன்
அது உன்னில் தானோ இது நான்
காணும் கனவோ நிஜமோ மீண்டும்
உன்னை காணும் மனமே வேண்டும்
எனக்கே மனமே மனமே
I lost my soul, is it within you?
Is this a dream I am seeing, or reality?
Oh heart that wishes to see you again...
My heart desires it, oh my heart...
விழியில் விழுந்தால்
என்னில் எண்ணத்தால் நானே
இல்லை எண்ணம் முழுதும் நீ
தானே என் கண்ணே
If you fall into my eyes... ah...
Within myself, I am no longer my own...
In all my thoughts,
It is only you, my dear...
உயிரை தொலைத்தேன்
அது உன்னில் தானோ இது நான்
காணும் கனவோ நிஜமோ
I lost my soul, is it within you?
Is this a dream I am seeing, or reality?
அன்பே உயிராய்
தொடுவேன் உன்னை
தாலாட்டுதே பார்வைகள்
அன்பே உயிராய் தொடுவேன்
உன்னை தாலாட்டுதே பார்வைகள்
My love, I will touch you like life itself...
Your glances rock me like a lullaby...
My love, I will touch you like life itself...
Your glances rock me like a lullaby...
உன்னை சேரும்
நாளை தினம் ஏங்கினேனே
நான் இங்கு தனியாக அழுதேன்
விடியும் வரை கனவின் நிலை
உனதாய்ங்கு தினம் ஏங்குது
மனம் உருகிடும் நிலை இது
எந்தன் முதல் முதல் வரும்
உயிர் காதலில்
The day I unite with you,
I yearned for every single day...
Here, I cried all alone...
Until dawn, in a state of dreaming,
Longing for you here every day...
This state where my heart melts is mine...
In my very first true soulmate love...
உயிரை தொலைத்தேன்
அது உன்னில் தானோ இது நான்
காணும் கனவோ நிஜமோ மீண்டும்
உன்னை காணும் மனமே வேண்டும்
எனக்கே மனமே மனமே
I lost my soul, is it within you?
Is this a dream I am seeing, or reality?
Oh heart that wishes to see you again...
My heart desires it, oh my heart...
விழியில் விழுந்தால்
என்னில் எண்ணத்தால் நானே
இல்லை எண்ணம் முழுதும் நீ
தானே என் கண்ணே
If you fall into my eyes... ah...
Within myself, I am no longer my own...
In all my thoughts,
It is only you, my dear...
நினைத்தால்
இனிக்கும் இளமை
நதியே உன்னோடு
நான் மூழ்கினேன்
நினைத்தால் இனிக்கும்
இளமை நதியே உன்னோடு
நான் மூழ்கினேன்
Oh river of youth that feels sweet to think about...
I am immersed in you...
Oh river of youth that feels sweet to think about...
I am immersed in you...
தேடாத நிலையில்
நோகாத வழியில் கண்
பார்க்கும் இடமெங்கும்
நீதான் விடியும் வரை
கனவின் நிலை
உனதாய்ங்கு தினம்
ஏங்குது மனம் உருகிடும்
நிலை இது எந்தன் முதல்
முதல் வரும் உயிர் காதலில்
In an unsought state, along a path without pain...
Wherever my eyes look, it is only you...
Until dawn, in a state of dreaming,
Longing for you here every day...
This state where my heart melts is mine...
In my very first true soulmate love...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Uyirai Tholaithen is an iconic independent Tamil romantic track composed and performed by Dhilip Varman from his 2008 album Kadhal Vendum. The song depicts the raw, overwhelming emotions of a soul deeply in love. The protagonist feels completely disoriented and transformed by love, questioning whether this intense feeling is a dream or reality as his sense of self dissolves into his lover's presence.

Poetic devices
Rhetorical Question (வினா அணி)
“Uyirai tholaithen athu unnil thaano… Ithu naan kaanum kanavo nijamo…”
The lover asks if his soul is lost in her and whether the sensation is real or a dream, heightening the emotional surrealism.
Personification (உருவகப்படுத்துதல்)
“Thaalatuthae paarvaigal…”
The lover's glances are personified as soothing eyes that physically cradle or rock the singer like a lullaby.
Metaphor (உருவகம்)
“Ninaithal inikum ilamai nathiyae… Unnodu naan moozhkinen…”
Youth is poetically conceptualized as a sweet river in which the speaker immerses himself completely.
Alliteration (மோனை)
“Uyirai tholaithen athu unnil thaano…”
Repetition of the initial vowel sound 'u' in Uyirai and unnil creates melodic harmony.
