| Male | |
| Yaaro en nenjai theendiyathu oru viralaalae | Someone touched my heart with a single finger |
| Thoongum en uyirai thoondiyathu | And awakened my sleeping soul |
| Yaaro en kanavil pesiyathu iru vizhiyaalae | Someone spoke in my dream through two eyes |
| Vaasam varum pookal veesiyathu | And showered sweet-smelling flowers |
| Male | |
| Thoorathil nee vanthaal en nenjil boogambam | If you approach from a distance, an earthquake strikes my heart |
| Megangal illaamal mazhai saaral aarambam | A drizzle of rain begins even without any clouds |
| Mudhalum oru mudivum en vaazhvil neethaanae | You alone are the beginning and the end of my life |
| Male | |
| Nilavaaga unai vaanil paarthen | I saw you as the moon in the sky |
| Alaiyaaga unai kadalil paarthen | I saw you as the wave in the ocean |
| Silaiyaaga karum kallil kooda unnai paarthenae | I even saw you carved as a statue in a hard black stone |
| Male | |
| Maanaaga unai malaiyil paarthen | I saw you as a deer on the mountain |
| Thaenaaga unai malaril paarthen | I saw you as honey inside the flower |
| Mayilaaga unai vedanthaangal kaatil paarthenae | I saw you as a peacock in the Vedanthangal forest |
| Male | |
| Ho pesa solgiren unnai nee yesi selgiraai ennai | Oh, I ask you to talk, but you scold me and walk away |
| Veenai thannaiyae meeti kondathaai enni kolgiren anbae | I comfort myself thinking a Veena played its own strings, my love |
| Kaalam enbathu maarum vali thantha kaayangal aarum | Time will change, and the painful wounds will heal |
| Male | |
| Merku sooriyan meendum kaalaiyil | The sun that sets in the west will inevitably |
| Kizhakil thondrithaan theerum | Rise again in the east come morning |
| Nathiyodu pogindra padagendraal aadaatha | Doesn't a boat floating down a river sway? |
| Aanalum azhagaga karai sendru seraatha | Yet, won't it gracefully reach the shore in the end? |
| Uyirae en uyirae oru vaaipai tharuvaaya | Oh my life, my precious soul, will you give me one chance? |

யாரோ என் நெஞ்சை
தீண்டியது ஒரு விரலாலே
தூங்கும் என் உயிரை தூண்டியது
யாரோ என் கனவில் பேசியது
இரு விழியாலே வாசம் வரும்
பூக்கள் வீசியது
Someone touched my heart with a single finger
And awakened my sleeping soul
Someone spoke in my dream through two eyes
And showered sweet-smelling flowers
தூரத்தில் நீ வந்தால்
என் நெஞ்சில் பூகம்பம்
மேகங்கள் இல்லாமல் மழை
சாரல் ஆரம்பம் முதலும் ஒரு
முடிவும் என் வாழ்வில் நீதானே
If you approach from a distance, an earthquake strikes my heart
A drizzle of rain begins even without any clouds
You alone are the beginning and the end of my life
நிலவாக உன்னை
வானில் பார்த்தேன் அலையாக
உன்னை கடலில் பார்த்தேன்
சிலையாக கருங்கல்லில் கூட
உன்னை பார்த்தேனே
I saw you as the moon in the sky
I saw you as the wave in the ocean
I even saw you carved as a statue in a hard black stone
மானாக உன்னை
மலையில் பார்த்தேன்
தேனாக உன்னை மலரில்
பார்த்தேன் மயிலாக உன்னை
வேடந்தாங்கல் காட்டில் பார்த்தேனே
I saw you as a deer on the mountain
I saw you as honey inside the flower
I saw you as a peacock in the Vedanthangal forest
ஹோ பேச சொல்கிறேன்
உன்னை நீ ஏசி செல்கிறாய்
என்னை வீணை தன்னையே
மீட்டிக் கொண்டதாய் எண்ணி
கொள்கிறேன் அன்பே காலம்
என்பது மாறும் வலி தந்த
காயங்கள் ஆறும்
Oh, I ask you to talk, but you scold me and walk away
I comfort myself thinking a Veena played its own strings, my love
Time will change, and the painful wounds will heal
மேற்கு சூரியன்
மீண்டும் காலையில்
கிழக்கில் தோன்றி தான்
தீரும் நதியோடு போகின்ற
படகு என்றால் ஆடாதா
ஆனாலும் அழகாக கரை
சென்று சேராதா உயிரே என்
உயிரே ஒரு வாய்ப்பை
தருவாயா
The sun that sets in the west will inevitably
Rise again in the east come morning
Doesn't a boat floating down a river sway?
Yet, won't it gracefully reach the shore in the end?
Oh my life, my precious soul, will you give me one chance?
நிலவாக உன்னை
வானில் பார்த்தேன் அலையாக
உன்னை கடலில் பார்த்தேன்
சிலையாக கருங்கல்லில் கூட
உன்னை பார்த்தேனே
I saw you as the moon in the sky
I saw you as the wave in the ocean
I even saw you carved as a statue in a hard black stone
மானாக உன்னை
மலையில் பார்த்தேன்
தேனாக உன்னை மலரில்
பார்த்தேன் மயிலாக உன்னை
வேடந்தாங்கல் காட்டில் பார்த்தேனே
I saw you as a deer on the mountain
I saw you as honey inside the flower
I saw you as a peacock in the Vedanthangal forest
...............................
ஹோ பாதி
கண்களால் தூங்கி
ஹாஹா ஹா
என் மீதி
கண்களால் ஏங்கி
ஹாஹா ஹா
Oh, sleeping with half my eyes (Female: Haha haa)
எங்கு வேண்டுமோ
அங்கு உன்னையே கொண்டு
சேர்க்கிறேன் தாங்கி நேசம்
என்பது போதை
...............................
ஒரு தூக்கம்
தாக்கிடும் பாதை
...............................
And yearning with the rest of my eyes (Female: Haha haa)
என்ற போதிலும்
அந்த துன்பத்தை ஏற்று
கொள்பவன் மேதை
நா நா நா
I will carry you safely and drop you wherever you wish to go
Love is an intoxication (Female: Thana nana naa)
உன்னோடு நான்
வாழும் இந்நேரம் போதாதா
எந்நாளும் மறவாத நாளாகி
போகாதா இன்றே இறந்தாலும்
அது இன்பம் ஆகாதா
A path where a heavy slumber strikes (Female: Thana nana naa)
நிலவாக உன்னை
வானில் பார்த்தேன் அலையாக
உன்னை கடலில் பார்த்தேன்
சிலையாக கருங்கல்லில் கூட
உன்னை பார்த்தேனே
Even so, the one who willingly accepts that pain
Is a wise scholar (Female: Naa naa naa)
மானாக உன்னை
மலையில் பார்த்தேன்
தேனாக உன்னை மலரில்
பார்த்தேன் மயிலாக உன்னை
வேடந்தாங்கல் காட்டில் பார்த்தேனே
Is this current moment living with you not enough?
Won't this turn into an unforgettable day for eternity?
Even if I die today, wouldn't that bring pure bliss?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song captures an intense, optimistic, and self-sacrificing love where the protagonist perceives their beloved in every facet of nature—as the moon, a sea wave, a mountain deer, honey in a flower, and a peacock in the forest. Despite facing rejection and sharp words from the person they love, the protagonist remains unfazed, viewing harsh scoldings as music and finding profound joy in mere proximity.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Simile / Metaphor (Uvamai / Uruvagam)
“Nilavaaga unai vaanil paarthen / Alaiyaaga unai kadalil paarthen”
The lyrics metaphorically project the beloved onto elements of nature such as the moon, waves, deer, honey, and peacocks.
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Nilavaaga unai vaanil paarthen / Alaiyaaga unai kadalil paarthen”
The repetitive line ending 'paarthen' creates a rhythmic Iyaipu harmony across consecutive refrain lines.
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navitchi Ani)
“Megangal illaamal mazhai saaral aarambam”
Exaggerates the emotional impact of the lover's presence by describing rain falling without clouds.
Analogy
“Merku sooriyan meendum kaalaiyil / Kizhakil thondrithaan theerum”
Uses the natural cycle of the sun setting in the west and rising in the east as an analogy for hope and the healing power of time.
