| Uyirae en uyirae | Oh life, my life |

| Imai moodinaal | If eyelids close |
| Aval nyabagam | Her memory comes |
| Vizhithirunthaal | If kept awake |

உயிரே என் உயிரே
நினைவில் அவள் முகம்
காட்டாதிரு இரவே என்
இரவே நிலவின்றி உன்
நேரம் கடந்திடு
Oh life, my life
Do not display her face in my thoughts
Oh night, my night
Pass your time without the moon
இமை மூடினால்
அவள் ஞாபகம் விழித்திருந்தால்
இவள் ஓவியம் இது என்ன டா
புது போதை யா ஒரு பாவையால்
உயிர் போகுதே
If eyelids close
Her memory comes
If kept awake
She is a painting
What is this, man?
Is it a new intoxication?
Because of a damsel
My soul is departing
என்னை நான்
தெரியாமல் உனக்குள்ளே
தொலைத்தேனே உண்ணாமல்
உறங்காமல் தவித்தேனே நான்
Without knowing myself
I lost myself within you
Without eating, without sleeping
I struggled endlessly
தினம்தோறும்
உன்கூட வெகு தூரம்
நான் போக விரலோடு
விரல் சேர்த்து காப்பேன்னடி
Every day with you
To travel a long distance
Joining finger with finger
I will protect you, girl
ஒரு நாள் தானே
உன்னை பார்த்தேன் மறு
நாள் நீயும் கனவில் வந்தாய்
தினமும் உன்னை கண்ணில்
காண கனவானாலும் கண்
விழித்திருந்தேன்
Was it not just one day
That I saw you?
The next day, you
Came into my dreams
To see you in my eyes every day
I stayed awake even in my dreams
ஹாஹா
ஹா ஹா (2)
Haha ha haa...
உன் கருவிழி பார்வை
என்னை கவர கவர என் இரு
விழி பார்வை இங்கு செதற
செதற மஞ்சள் மயிலே என்னை
கொஞ்சும் குயிலே நீ என்னை
இங்கு தேடி வந்த குறிஞ்சி பூவடி
The look in your dark eyes
Captivates me completely
My vision in both eyes here
Scatters and shatters
Golden peacock, cuckoo that fondles me
You came seeking me here
Like a rare Kurinji flower
பேசிய வார்த்தை
பேரிசையாக பேச மௌனம்
மெல்லிசையாக இயலும்
இசையும் நாடகமாக இரவும்
பகலும் நொடியில் போக
அய்யோ என்னை இந்த
காதல் படுத்தும் பாடு
போதுமடா
Spoken words turn into grand music
Unspoken silence turns into soft melody
Literature, music, and drama united
Day and night pass in a split second
Oh dear, this love
The trouble it causes me is enough!
ஹாஹா
ஹா ஹா (2)
Haha ha haa...
உன் பெயரை தான்
மொழியாக்கினேன் உன்
வாசம் தான் என் சுவாசமே
உன்னோடு தான் நான்
போகவே கடிகாரமாய்
உன்னை சுற்றினேன்
Your name alone
I turned into my language
Your fragrance alone
Is my breath
Just to go along with you
I circled you like a clock
ஒரு பார்வை
பாரேன் ஒரு வார்த்தை
கூறேன் அது போதும்
பெண்ணே உயிரும்
தாரேன்
Give me just one look
Speak just one word
That is enough, girl
I will even give my life
எழுத்தில்லா
கவியே முள்ளில்லா
மலரே பதில் சொல்லி
போயேன் என் குறிஞ்சி
பூவே
Oh unwritten poem
Oh thornless flower
Give me an answer and go
My rare Kurinji flower
என் நாட்கள்
எல்லாமே உன் நிழலாய்
வாழ்வேனே என் காதல்
முழுவதும் உனக்காக
தான்
All of my days
I will live as your shadow
The whole of my love
Is only for you
கம்பனின் கவிகள்
தோற்றிடும் வகையில்
காதலை வார்த்தையால்
கோர்ப்பேனே நான்
In a manner that outshines
Even the famous poems of Kamban
With words of love
I will weave poetry
உயிரே என்
உயிரே நினைவில்
அவள் முகம் காட்டாதிரு
இரவே என் இரவே
நிலவின்றி உன் நேரம்
கடந்திடு
Oh life, my life
Do not display her face in my thoughts
Oh night, my night
Pass your time without the moon
இமை மூடினால்
அவள் ஞாபகம் விழித்திருந்தால்
இவள் ஓவியம் இது என்ன டா
புது போதை யா ஒரு பாவையால்

What is this, man?
Is it a new intoxication?
Because of a damsel
My soul is departing
Departing, departing, departing

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a deeply passionate expression of love and romantic obsession. The protagonist describes how his beloved's presence and memories consume his mind day and night, leaving him unable to sleep or eat properly. He pleads with his own thoughts and the night to give him respite, yet finds himself completely enamored by her every gesture, comparing her to a rare Kurinji flower that blooms once in twelve years.
