யாரடா நீ நீ
யாரடா நீ நீ
ஏங்குது நான் நான்
யாரடா நீ நீ
Who are you, who are you?
Who are you, who are you?
I am yearning, I am yearning,
Tell me, who are you?
காதலான காதல்
தந்து போகுற
பார்வையாள என்ன
வாங்கி ஓடுற
என்னிடத்தில் என்ன பேச வைக்குற
உ ன்னான்னா சுத்தி சுத்தி தேட வைக்குற
A love filled with deep passion,
You give it to me and leave,
With just a single glance,
You steal me away and run,
You make me talk to myself,
You make me search for you everywhere.
யாரடா நீ நீ
யாரடா நீ நீ
ஏங்குது நான் நான்
யாரடா நீ நீ
Who are you, who are you?
Who are you, who are you?
I am yearning, I am yearning,
Tell me, who are you?
நெஞ்சுக்கூட்டுல நீயும்
வட்டம் போடுற
ஓர கண்ணுல
மழை சாரல் வீசுற
Inside my ribcage of a heart,
You keep circling around,
With the corner of your eyes,
You shower a drizzle of rain,
போகும் பாதையில்
நீ நாளும் நிக்குற
காதல் போதைய
மனசுல ஏத்துற
On the path I walk,
You stand there every single day,
The intoxication of love,
You raise inside my mind,
உன்கூட சேர்ந்து போக
நெனச்சேன் திருடா
உன் தோளில் சாஞ்சு நடந்தா
பறப்பேன் படவா
To walk alongside you,
I wished, you little thief,
Leaning on your shoulders as I walk,
I will fly high, oh rascal!
யாரடா நீ நீ
யாரடா நீ நீ
ஏங்குது நான் நான்
யாரடா நீ நீ
Who are you, who are you?
Who are you, who are you?
I am yearning, I am yearning,
Tell me, who are you?
எல்லா நேரமும்
நான் உன்ன நெனைக்கிறேன்
நீளும் போல போல் உன் கூட நடக்குறேன்
All the time,
I keep thinking of you,
Like a lengthening shadow,
I walk beside you,
கண்ணு இமையில
நான் மேல பார்க்குறேன்
கைய புடிக்கவே
நான் காத்து கிடக்கிறேன்
On the tips of my eyelashes,
I float and fly high,
Just to hold your hand,
I sit and wait patiently,
உன் பெற படிச்சு பார்த்தேன்
இலச்சேன் அடடா
அத பாடி பாடி நானும்
ரசிச்சேன் அழகா
I read your name repeatedly,
And I melted away, oh my!
Singing it over and over,
I admired it so beautifully.
யாரடா நீ நீ
யாரடா நீ நீ
ஏங்குது நான் நான்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Yarada Nee Nee' captures the euphoric and bewildering experience of falling in love. The female protagonist expresses her deep infatuation and yearning for a mysterious lover who has completely taken over her thoughts. His mere presence and fleeting glances leave her spellbound, driving her to wander restlessly, talk to herself, and continuously look out for him.
