| Male | |
| Yaarum illa ponneramae | In this golden hour with no one around, |
| Un maayangal dhaanae kannoramae | Your magic unfolds at the corner of my eyes. |
| Kaadum kaatrum kai veesumae | The forest and the wind wave their hands, |
| Un mounangal ketkum kaadhoramae | Your silences are heard near my ears. |
| Male | |
| Neeyum naanum vaazhum varai | As long as you and I live, |
| Kaattil engum kaadhal mazhai | A rain of love falls everywhere in the forest. |
| Nammai polae rendu silai | Two statues like us, |
| Idhu podhum en kaalam varai | This is enough until the end of my days. |
| Male | |
| Aadum thoni neeril sirai | The swaying boat is imprisoned in the water, |
| Paadum vandu thaenil sirai | The singing beetle is imprisoned in honey, |
| Kaanum yaavum kannil sirai | Everything seen is imprisoned in the eyes, |
| Idhu pol naanum inbathil aayul sirai | Just like this, I am imprisoned for life in joy. |
| Male | |
| Thuruvena irudhen | I was like rust, |
| Thuni ena madithaai | You folded me gently like cloth. |
| Thudupindri alaindhen | I drifted without an oar, |
| Thunayaai kidaithaai | You arrived as my companion. |
| Male | |
| Manal ena irundhen | I was like barren sand, |
| Malarvanam koduthaai | You gave me a garden of flowers. |
| Marangalin nizhalil | In the shade of the trees, |
| Neeyae sirithaayi | You were the one who smiled. |
| Male | |
| Naan ambodu vaazhndha | All the times when I lived with arrows, |
| Kaalam ellaam | All those times, |
| Un anbodu maari pogudhadi | Are transforming into your love, my dear. |
| Naan sollaamal pona sogam ellaam | All the unspoken sorrows I carried, |
| Yen illamal indru aagudhadi | Why are they disappearing completely today? |
| Azhagu pillaigal paadhaikkul | In the path of our beautiful children, |
| Kaayam illai | There is no hurt or injury. |
| Un pakkthil en nenjil baaram illai | By your side, there is no weight upon my heart. |
| Nadhiyin osai nagarum bodhu | As the sound of the river flows past, |
| Namaiyum thaalaathudhae | It rocks us gently to sleep. |

யாரும் இல்லா பொன் நேரமே
உன் மாயங்கள் தானே கண்ணோரமே
காடும் காற்றும் கை வீசுமே
உன் மெளனங்கள் கேட்கும் காதோரமே
In this golden hour with no one around,
Your magic unfolds at the corner of my eyes.
The forest and the wind wave their hands,
Your silences are heard near my ears.
நீயும் நானும் வாழும் வரை
காட்டில் எங்கும் காதல் மழை
நம்மை போலே இரண்டு சிலை
இது போதும் என் காலம் வரை
As long as you and I live,
A rain of love falls everywhere in the forest.
Two statues like us,
This is enough until the end of my days.
ஆடும் தோணி நீரில் சிறை
பாடும் வண்டு தேனில் சிறை
காணும் யாவும் கண்ணில் சிறை
இது போல் நானும் இன்பத்தில் ஆயுள் சிறை
The swaying boat is imprisoned in the water,
The singing beetle is imprisoned in honey,
Everything seen is imprisoned in the eyes,
Just like this, I am imprisoned for life in joy.
துருவென இருந்தேன்
துணியென மடித்தாய்
துடுப்பின்றி அலைந்தேன்
துணையாய் கிடைத்தாய்
I was like rust,
You folded me gently like cloth.
I drifted without an oar,
You arrived as my companion.
மணல் என இருந்தேன்
மலர்வனம் கொடுத்தாய்
மரங்களின் நிழலில்
நீயே சிரித்தாய்
I was like barren sand,
You gave me a garden of flowers.
In the shade of the trees,
You were the one who smiled.
நான் அம்போடு வாழ்ந்த காலம் எல்லாம்
உன் அன்போடு மாறிப் போகுதடி
நான் சொல்லாமல் போன சோகம் எல்லாம்
ஏன் இல்லாமல் இன்று ஆகுதடி
அழகு பிள்ளைகள் பாதைக்குள் காயமில்லை
உன் பக்கத்தில் என் நெஞ்சில் பாரமில்லை
நதியின் ஓசை நகரும் போது
நமையும் தாலாட்டுதே
All the times when I lived with arrows,
All those times,
Are transforming into your love, my dear.
All the unspoken sorrows I carried,
Why are they disappearing completely today?
In the path of our beautiful children,
There is no hurt or injury.
By your side, there is no weight upon my heart.
As the sound of the river flows past,
It rocks us gently to sleep.
யாரும் இல்லா பொன் நேரமே
உன் மாயங்கள் தானே கண்ணோரமே
காடும் காற்றும் கைவீசுமே
உன் மெளனங்கள் கேட்கும் காதோரமே
In this golden hour with no one around,
Your magic unfolds at the corner of my eyes.
The forest and the wind wave their hands,
Your silences are heard near my ears.
நீயும் நானும் வாழும் வரை
காட்டில் எங்கும் காதல் மழை
நம்மை போலே இரண்டு சிலை
இது தான் என் உயிர் தேவை
As long as you and I live,
A rain of love falls everywhere in the forest.
Two statues like us,
This alone is what my soul desires.
Yaarum illa ponneramae
In this golden hour with no one around,
Un maayangal dhaanae kannoramae
Your magic unfolds at the corner of my eyes.
Kaadum kaatrum kai veesumae
The forest and the wind wave their hands,
Un mounangal ketkum kaadhoramae
Your silences are heard near my ears.
Neeyum naanum vaazhum varai
As long as you and I live,
Kaattil engum kaadhal mazhai
A rain of love falls everywhere in the forest.
Nammai polae rendu silai
Two statues like us,
Idhu podhum en kaalam varai
This is enough until the end of my days.
Aadum thoni neeril sirai
The swaying boat is imprisoned in the water,
Paadum vandu thaenil sirai
The singing beetle is imprisoned in honey,
Kaanum yaavum kannil sirai
Everything seen is imprisoned in the eyes,
Idhu pol naanum inbathil aayul sirai
Just like this, I am imprisoned for life in joy.
Thuruvena irudhen
I was like rust,
Thuni ena madithaai
You folded me gently like cloth.

Naan sollaamal pona sogam ellaam
All the unspoken sorrows I carried,
Yen illamal indru aagudhadi
Why are they disappearing completely today?
Azhagu pillaigal paadhaikkul
In the path of our beautiful children,
Kaayam illai
There is no hurt or injury.
Un pakkthil en nenjil baaram illai
By your side, there is no weight upon my heart.
Nadhiyin osai nagarum bodhu
As the sound of the river flows past,
Namaiyum thaalaathudhae
It rocks us gently to sleep.
Yaarum illa ponneramae
In this golden hour with no one around,
Un maayangal dhaanae kannoramae
Your magic unfolds at the corner of my eyes.
Kaadum kaatrum kai veesumae

Your silences are heard near my ears.
Neeyum naanum vaazhum varai
As long as you and I live,
Kaattil engum kaadhal mazhai
A rain of love falls everywhere in the forest.
Nammai polae rendu silai
Two statues like us,
Idhu dhaan en uyir thevai
This alone is what my soul desires.

This song from 'Naane Varuvean' depicts a serene, deeply emotional picture of a man finding peace, redemption, and contentment in a quiet forest setting alongside his family. He reflects on his past, which was marked by hardship and violence ('living with arrows'), contrasting it with his present state of emotional solace brought by his beloved partner and children.
