உயிரிலே என்
உயிரிலே உறைந்தவள்
நீயடி உனக்கென வாழ்கிறேன்
நானடி விழியிலே உன்
விழியிலே விழுந்தவன்
தானடி உயிருடன் சாகிறேன்
பாரடி
In my soul, oh in my soul
You are the girl who froze within me
I am living only for you, my dear
In your eyes, oh in your eyes
I am the one who fell
Look, I am dying while still alive
காணாமல்
போனாயோ இது
காதல் சாபமா நீ
கரையை கடந்த
பின்னாலும் நான்
மூழ்கும் ஓடமா
Did you disappear into thin air?
Is this the curse of love?
Even after you crossed over to the shore
Am I just a boat that is sinking?
உயிரிலே என்
உயிரிலே உறைந்தவள்
நீயடி உனக்கென வாழ்கிறேன்
நானடி
In my soul, oh in my soul
You are the girl who froze within me
I am living only for you, my dear
..............................
Heeyyy heh heh hoo hoo hoo
Aaaa…hee hooooo…..
Heeyyy heh heh hoo hoo hoo
Aaaa…hee hooooo…..
Heyyheehooooo…….heyyhoooo..
Laailooo…laaiiiieee…
கனவுகளில்
வாழ்ந்து விட்டேன்
இறுதிவரை கண்களிலே
தூவி விட்டாய் மண் துகளை
I lived inside dreams
Until the very end
You threw dust into my eyes
இந்த சோகம்
இங்கு சுகமானது அது
வரமாக நீ தந்தது நீ
மறந்தாலுமே உன்
காதல் மட்டும் என்
துணையாக வருகின்றது
This sorrow has become sweet here
It is a boon that you have granted me
Even if you forget me, your love alone
Keeps coming as my sole companion
ஆறாத
காயங்கள் என்
வாழ்க்கை பாடமா
இனி தீயே வைத்து
எரித்தாலும் என்
நெஞ்சம் வேகுமா
Unhealing wounds
Is this my life's lesson?
Even if lit on fire now
Will my heart burn anymore?
உயிரிலே என்
உயிரிலே உறைந்தவள்
நீயடி உயிருடன் சாகிறேன்
பாரடி
In my soul, oh in my soul
You are the girl who froze within me
Look, I am dying while still alive
ஓஹோ
ஓஹோ ஓஹோ
ஓஹோ
Ohoooo…ohoooo….
Ohoooo…ohoooooo…
கடலினிலே
விழுந்தாலும்
கரையிருக்கும் காதலிலே
விழுந்தபின்னே கரையில்லையே
Even if one falls into the sea
There is always a shore
After falling into love
There is no shore at all
இந்த காதல்
என்ன ஒரு நடை
வண்டியா நான்
விழுந்தாலும்
மீண்டும் எழ
What is this love?
Is it a toddler's walker?
For me to fall and rise again?
இரு கண்ணை
கட்டி ஒரு காட்டுக்குள்ளே
என்னை விட்டாயே
எங்கே செல்ல
Blindfolding both my eyes
Inside a dense forest
You left me; where am I to go?
ஆண் நெஞ்சம்
எப்போதும் ஒரு ஊமை
தானடி அது தெருவின்
ஓரம் நிறுத்தி வைக்கும்
பழுதான தேரடி
A man's heart is always
Just a mute entity, my dear
It is like a damaged chariot
Parked permanently on the roadside
உயிரிலே என்
உயிரிலே உறைந்தவள்
நீயடி உனக்கென வாழ்கிறேன்
நானடி
In my soul, oh in my soul
You are the girl who froze within me
I am living only for you, my dear…
Uyirilae en uyirilae
In my soul, oh in my soul
Uraindhaval neeyadi
You are the girl who froze within me
Unakkena vaazhgiren naanadi
I am living only for you, my dear
Vizhiyilae un vizhiyilae
In your eyes, oh in your eyes
Vizhundhavan thaanadi
I am the one who fell
Uyirudan saagiren paaradi
Look, I am dying while still alive
Kaanaamal ponaaiyoo
Did you disappear into thin air?
Idhu kaadhal saabamaa
Is this the curse of love?
Nee karaiyai kadandha pinnaalum
Even after you crossed over to the shore
Naan moozhgum odamaa..aa..
Am I just a boat that is sinking?
Uyirilae en uyirilae
In my soul, oh in my soul
Uraindhaval neeyadi
You are the girl who froze within me
Unakkena vaazhgiren naanadi
I am living only for you, my dear
Heeyyy heh heh hoo hoo hoo
Heeyyy heh heh hoo hoo hoo

Kanavugalil vaazhndhuvitten
I lived inside dreams
Irudhivarai
Until the very end
Kangalilae thoovivittaai manthugalai
You threw dust into my eyes
Indha sogam ingu sugamaanadhu
This sorrow has become sweet here
Adhu varamaaga nee thandhadhu
It is a boon that you have granted me
Nee marandhaalumae un kaadhal mattum
Even if you forget me, your love alone
En thunaiyaaga varugindradhu
Keeps coming as my sole companion
Aaraadha kaayangal
Unhealing wounds
En vaazhkai paadamaa
Is this my life's lesson?
Ini theeyae vaithu erithaalum
Even if lit on fire now
En nenjam vegumaa
Will my heart burn anymore?

Kadalinilae vizhundhaalum
Even if one falls into the sea
Karaiyirukkum
There is always a shore
Kaadhalilae vizhundhapinnae
After falling into love
Karaiyillaiyae
There is no shore at all
Indha kadhal enna
What is this love?
Oru nadai vandiyaa
Is it a toddler's walker?
Naan vizhundhaalum meendum ezha
For me to fall and rise again?
Iru kannai katti
Blindfolding both my eyes
Oru kaattukkulae
Inside a dense forest
Ennai vittaayae engae sella
You left me; where am I to go?
Aan nenjam eppodhum
A man's heart is always
Oru oomai thaanadi
Just a mute entity, my dear
Adhu theruvin oram niruthi vaikkum
It is like a damaged chariot
Pazhudhaana thaeradi
Parked permanently on the roadside
Uyirilae en uyirilae
In my soul, oh in my soul
Uraindhaval neeyadi
You are the girl who froze within me
Unakkena vaazhgiren naanadi…
I am living only for you, my dear…
Beyond the translation

He compares his inner state to a sinking boat, a person blindfolded in a dark forest, and a broken chariot abandoned by the street. Despite the suffering, the lyricist highlights a bittersweet devotion: the protagonist views his heartbreak as a cherished boon given by his beloved. Even if she forgets him, her memory remains his constant companion, demonstrating the enduring nature of true affection even amidst deep sorrow.
