| Yaarin vaazhkai idhu | Whose life is this? |

யாரின் வாழ்க்கை இது
யாரின் மூச்சு இது
யாரின் உடலுக்குள் நானோ
யாரை கேட்கிறேன் சொல் பிம்பமே
Whose life is this?
Whose breath is this?
Am I inside someone else's body?
Whom am I asking? Tell me, oh reflection!
நானும் நானும் ஓர் எந்திரம் எனவே
மாறி விட்டதாய் தோன்றிடும் கனவே
என்றும் என்றுமே கலைந்தே போகாதே
It feels like I have turned into a machine
This dream that feels like a complete change
May it never, ever fade away
வேறு ஓர் இதழ் புன்னகை ஒன்று
எந்தன் இதழிலே பூக்குது இன்று
என்றும் என்றுமே உதிரக் கூடாதே
A smile from another pair of lips
Is blooming on my lips today
May it never, ever wither away
யாரின் வாழ்க்கை இது
யாரின் மூச்சு இது
யாரின் உடலுக்குள் நானோ
யாரை கேட்கிறேன் சொல் பிம்பமே
Whose life is this?
Whose breath is this?
Am I inside someone else's body?
Whom am I asking? Tell me, oh reflection!
நானும் நானும் ஓர் எந்திரம் எனவே
மாறி விட்டதாய் தோன்றிடும் கனவே
என்றும் என்றுமே கலைந்தே போகாதே
It feels like I have turned into a machine
This dream that feels like a complete change
May it never, ever fade away
வேறு ஓர் இதழ் புன்னகை ஒன்று
எந்தன் இதழிலே பூக்குது இன்று
என்றும் என்றுமே உதிரக் கூடாதே
A smile from another pair of lips
Is blooming on my lips today
May it never, ever wither away
........................
நான் உனை நீ எனை
காணவே நிகழ்ந்தகவென்ன
தோழியாய் காதலாய்
மாறவே நிகழ்ந்தகவென்ன
For me to see you and you to see me
What is the probability of this happening?
As a friend, as a lover
What is the probability of changing?
நீ எந்தன் முகவரி என்றோ
நான் உந்தன் நிகழ்படம் என்றோ
காலத்தின் போக்கில் மாறக்கூடும்
அதன் நிகழ்ந்தகவென்ன
Are you my permanent address?
Am I a video recording of you?
It may fade away in the passage of time
What is the reason behind it happening?
என் வாழ்வின் தோன்றிடம் வேறு
உன் வாழ்வின் சேரிடம் வேறு
நிகழ்ந்தகவினாலே
இங்கே திகழ்க்கிறோமா
The origin of my life is elsewhere
The destination of your life is elsewhere
Is it because of these occurrences
That we shine together here?
யாரின் பெருங்கதையில்
நீயும் நானும் சிறு
பாத்திரங்கள் என ஆனோம்
யாரின் கவிதையில் சொல்லாகிறோம்
In whose grand story
Have you and I become
Tiny minor characters?
In whose poem do we become words?
நானும் நானும் ஓர் எந்திரம் எனவே
மாறி விட்டதாய் தோன்றிடும் கனவே
என்றும் என்றுமே கலைந்தே போகாதே
It feels like I have turned into a machine
This dream that feels like a complete change
May it never, ever fade away
வேறு ஓர் இதழ் புன்னகை ஒன்று
எந்தன் இதழிலே பூக்குது இன்று

Beyond the translation

The protagonist contemplates their identity, feeling detached from their own physical body and mind, as if living someone else's life or operating like a machine. Amidst this surreal feeling, the arrival of love brings a transformative smile that lights up their existence, making them wish this dreamlike state never ends.
