உயிரே உயிரே
என் உயிரே நீ இல்லை

உயிரே உயிரே உயிரே
என் உயிரே நீ வந்து விடு
உடனே என் எதிரே
Oh life, my life, my dear life!
Without you, my life simply does not exist.
Oh life, my life, my dear life!
Come immediately and stand right in front of me.
என் நாட்கள் நீ
இன்றி இல்லை
ஞாபகங்கள் செய்யுது
தொல்லை
My days do not exist without you,
My memories are troubling and haunting me.
நிலவும் நீ நீரும்
நீ என் காற்று வானம் தீ
நீ உயிரும் நீ உடலும் நீ
என் நேற்று நாளையும் நீ நீ
You are the moon, you are the water,
You are my air, the sky, and the fire.
You are my soul, you are my body,
You are my yesterday and my tomorrow.

மனசெல்லாம்
நீயே நீயே என் பந்தம்
சொந்தம் நீயே
மனசெல்லாம் நீயே
நீயே
My whole heart is filled with you, only you,
You are my relation, my family, my everything.
My whole heart is filled with you, only you,
காற்றில் எங்கும்
உன் வாசம் எந்தன் கன்னம்
தொட்டு கதை பேசும் இந்த
குளிர்கிற பனியில் கதகதப்பாக
வேணும் இன்று உன் நேசம்
Your fragrance fills the wind everywhere,
It touches my cheek and whispers stories.
In this chilling dew, to offer warmth,
I need your love today.
நான் வேறு எங்கு
போவேன் உன் இதயம்
தானே என்றும் அன்பே
என் தேசம்
Where else could I possibly go?
Is not your heart...
...my eternal homeland, my love?
ஒருமுறை உன்
பூ முகம் பார்த்தால்
மரணத்தையும் சிரிப்புடன்
எதிர்ப்பேன்
If I get to see your flower-like face just once,
I will welcome death itself with a smile.
அணு அணுவாய்
காதலிப்பேன் நான் வாழ
காரணம் நீயே என்னை
எரித்து சாம்பலிடு அதில்
உதிரும் தூண்களும் நீயே
I will love you down to every single atom.
You are the sole reason for my existence.
Burn me down to ashes,
Even the dust particles that fall from it are you.

This song is an intense expression of romantic devotion and emotional dependence. The speaker describes their beloved as the core of their existence, comparing them to essential natural elements like water, air, sky, fire, and the moon. Life without the beloved feels empty and unbearable, while memories haunt the protagonist in their absence.
