| Yaar yaaro naan paarthen | I have seen so many different people |
| Yaarum enakku illai | But no one was there for me |
| En vazhiyil nee vanthaai | You came into my path |
| Naanum enakku illai | And I no longer belong to myself |
| Male | |
| Kanneeril karuvaanen | I became an embryo born out of tears |
| Kadal neeril uruvaanen | I was shaped in the sea waters |
| Unnaalae uyir aanen | Because of you, I gained life |
| Nee aaga nan aanen | I became you |
| Nee aaga nan aanen | I became you |
| Male | |
| Yaar yaaro naan paarthen | I have seen so many different people |
| Yaarum enakku illai | But no one was there for me |
| Male | |
| Thaayai vidavum nallavalaai | Kinder and better than even a mother |
| Dhevathai unai paarthen | I saw you as an angel |
| Engo sellum salaiyilae | On a road leading nowhere |
| Unakkul thangi vitten | I stayed inside you |
| Male | |
| Enai yaar ena kettaal | If anyone asks who I am |
| Oru soll pothum | One word is enough |
| Nee ena naan solven | I will say I am you |
| En mugavari kettaal | If someone asks for my address |
| Oru vari pothum | Just one line is enough |
| Un peyar naan solven | I will speak your name |
| Unai kadavul vanthu kettaalum | Even if God comes and asks for you |
| Ethirppen thara maatten | I will resist and not give you up |
| Ethirppen thara maatten | I will resist and not give you up |
| Male | |
| Yaar yaaro naan paarthen | I have seen so many different people |
| Yaarum enakku illai | But no one was there for me |
| Male | |
| Kovam odum narambugalil | In the nerves where anger used to run |
| Veenaiyai meetugirai | You play the veena with soft melodies |
| Eriyum theeyai naan irunthen | I was a raging, burning fire |
| Deebam yetrugiraai | You light a gentle lamp |
| Male | |
| Ada ithu varai ingae | Ah, until now in this place |
| Vazhnthathu pothum | Enough of having lived like this |
| Ena naan irunthirunthen | Is how I felt and stayed |
| Nee vaazhkayin suvaiyai | You made me taste |

யார் யாரோ நான் பார்த்தேன்
யாரும் எனக்கு இல்லை
என் வழியில் நீ வந்தாய்
நானும் எனக்கு இல்லை
I have seen so many different people
But no one was there for me
You came into my path
And I no longer belong to myself
கண்ணீரில் கருவானேன்
கடல் நீரில் உருவானேன்
உன்னாலே உயிர் ஆனேன்
நீ ஆக நான் ஆனேன்
நீ ஆக நான் ஆனேன்
I became an embryo born out of tears
I was shaped in the sea waters
Because of you, I gained life
I became you
I became you
யார் யாரோ நான் பார்த்தேன்
யாரும் எனக்கு இல்லை
I have seen so many different people
But no one was there for me
தாயை விடவும் நல்லவளாய்
தேவதை உன்னை பார்த்தேன்
எங்கோ செல்லும் சாலையிலே
உனக்குள் தங்கிவிட்டேன்
Kinder and better than even a mother
I saw you as an angel
On a road leading nowhere
I stayed inside you
எனை யார் என கேட்டால்
ஒரு சொல் போதும்
நீ என நான் சொல்வேன்
என் முகவரி கேட்டால்
ஒரு வரி போதும்
உன் பெயர் நான் சொல்வேன்
உன்னை கடவுள் வந்து கேட்டாலும்
எதிர்ப்பேன் தரமாட்டேன்
எதிர்ப்பேன் தரமாட்டேன்
If anyone asks who I am
One word is enough
I will say I am you
If someone asks for my address
Just one line is enough
I will speak your name
Even if God comes and asks for you
I will resist and not give you up
I will resist and not give you up
யார் யாரோ நான் பார்த்தேன்
யாரும் எனக்கு இல்லை
I have seen so many different people
But no one was there for me
கோவம் ஓடும் நரம்புகளில்
வீணையை மீட்டுகிறாய்
எரியும் தீயாய் நான் இருந்தேன்
தீபம் ஏற்றுகிறாய்
In the nerves where anger used to run
You play the veena with soft melodies
I was a raging, burning fire
You light a gentle lamp
அட இது வரை இங்கே
வாழ்ந்தது போதும்
என நான் இருந்திருந்தேன்
நீ வாழ்க்கையின் சுவையை
அறிந்திட வைத்தாய்
மறுபடி பிறந்துவிட்டேன்
உன்னை உயிரின் உள்ளே
நான் சுமப்பேன்
வெளியே விடமாட்டேன்
வெளியே விடமாட்டேன்
Ah, until now in this place
Enough of having lived like this
Is how I felt and stayed
You made me taste
And understand the flavor of life
I have been reborn once again
I will carry you deep inside my soul
I will not let you leave
I will not let you leave
யார் யாரோ நான் பார்த்தேன்
யாரும் எனக்கு இல்லை
என் வழியில் நீ வந்தாய்
நானும் எனக்கு இல்லை
I have seen so many different people
But no one was there for me
You came into my path
And I no longer belong to myself
கண்ணீரில் கருவானேன்
கடல் நீரில் உருவானேன்
உன்னாலே உயிர் ஆனேன்
நீ ஆக நான் ஆனேன்
நீ ஆக நான் ஆனேன்
I became an embryo born out of tears
I was shaped in the sea waters
Because of you, I gained life
I became you
I became you
யார் யாரோ நான் பார்த்தேன்
I have seen so many different people...
Yaar yaaro naan paarthen
I have seen so many different people
Yaarum enakku illai
But no one was there for me
En vazhiyil nee vanthaai
You came into my path
Naanum enakku illai
And I no longer belong to myself
Kanneeril karuvaanen
I became an embryo born out of tears
Kadal neeril uruvaanen
I was shaped in the sea waters
Unnaalae uyir aanen
Because of you, I gained life
Nee aaga nan aanen
I became you
Nee aaga nan aanen
I became you
Yaar yaaro naan paarthen
I have seen so many different people
Yaarum enakku illai
But no one was there for me
Thaayai vidavum nallavalaai
Kinder and better than even a mother
Dhevathai unai paarthen
I saw you as an angel
Engo sellum salaiyilae
On a road leading nowhere
Unakkul thangi vitten
I stayed inside you
Enai yaar ena kettaal
If anyone asks who I am
Oru soll pothum
One word is enough
Nee ena naan solven
I will say I am you
En mugavari kettaal
If someone asks for my address
Oru vari pothum
Just one line is enough
Un peyar naan solven
I will speak your name
Unai kadavul vanthu kettaalum
Even if God comes and asks for you
Ethirppen thara maatten
I will resist and not give you up
Ethirppen thara maatten
I will resist and not give you up
Yaar yaaro naan paarthen
I have seen so many different people
Yaarum enakku illai
But no one was there for me
Kovam odum narambugalil
In the nerves where anger used to run
Veenaiyai meetugirai
You play the veena with soft melodies
Eriyum theeyai naan irunthen
I was a raging, burning fire
Deebam yetrugiraai
You light a gentle lamp
Ada ithu varai ingae
Ah, until now in this place
Vazhnthathu pothum
Enough of having lived like this
Ena naan irunthirunthen
Is how I felt and stayed
Nee vaazhkayin suvaiyai
You made me taste
Arinthida vaithaai

Marupadi piranthu vitten
I have been reborn once again
Unai uyirin ullae naan sumappen
I will carry you deep inside my soul
Veliyae vida matten
I will not let you leave
Veliyae vida matteen
I will not let you leave
Yaar yaaro naan paarthen

En vazhiyil nee vanthaai
You came into my path
Naanum enakku illai

Unnaalae uyir aanen
Because of you, I gained life
Nee aaga nan aanen
I became you
Nee aaga nan aanen
I became you
Yaar yaaro naan paarthen….
I have seen so many different people...
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This emotional song from 'Chinna' (2005) expresses deep devotion, emotional transformation, and spiritual rebirth brought about by love. The protagonist reflects on a past defined by isolation, pain, and inner fury, contrasting it with the redemption and soothing solace found in his beloved. The lover is elevated to the status of an angel and a motherly figure who restores purpose, joy, and light to a once dreary existence. Through vivid metaphors of merging identities, the lyricist highlights a love so intense that the lover's name becomes the protagonist's address, and her essence replaces his former self. The song captures a profound sense of surrender, gratitude, and fierce commitment to protect this transformative bond against all odds.

Metaphor
“Kovam odum narambugalil Veenaiyai meetugirai”
Compares anger-filled nerves to a musical instrument (Veena) being gently played by the calming influence of love.
Muran (Contrast)
“Eriyum theeyai naan irunthen Deebam yetrugiraai”
Contrasts 'eriyum theeyai' (a destructive raging fire) with 'deebam' (a serene, sacred lamp), illustrating the healing change brought by love.
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Enai yaar ena kettaal ... Nee ena naan solven”
The usage of matching ending words and sound patterns creates a rhythmic flow representing complete union of identities.
