Yaarin vaazhkai idhu
Yaarin moochu idhu
Yaarin udalukkul naano
Yaarai ketkiren sol bimbamae
Naanum naanum oor enthiram enavae
Maari vittathaai thondridum kanavae
Endrum endrumae kalaindhae pogadhae
Veru or idhazh punnagai ondru
Endhan idhazhilae pookkudhu indru
Endrum endrumae udhira kudadhae
Yaarin vaazhkai idhu
Yaarin moochu idhu
Yaarin udalukkul naano
Yaarai ketkiren sol bimbamae
Naanum naanum oor enthiram enavae
Maari vittathaai thondridum kanavae

Whose life is this?
Whose breath is this?
Am I trapped inside someone else's body?
Whom am I asking? Tell me, oh reflection!
Feeling as though I have turned into a machine,
Oh dream that appears to have transformed me,
Do not ever, ever fade away.
A smile belonging to another set of lips
Blooms upon my own lips today.
May it never, ever wither away.
Whose life is this?
Whose breath is this?
Am I trapped inside someone else's body?
Whom am I asking? Tell me, oh reflection!
Feeling as though I have turned into a machine,
Oh dream that appears to have transformed me,
Do not ever, ever fade away.
A smile belonging to another set of lips
Blooms upon my own lips today.
May it never, ever wither away.
(Instrumental)
For me to see you, and you to see me,
Is this reality or a virtual simulation?
As a friend, as a lover,
Is it a simulation that made us transform?
Are you my address?
Am I your video recording?
That might be lost in the flow of time,
What is the truth behind this simulation?
The origin of my life is elsewhere,
The destination of your life is elsewhere,
Yet, because of this simulation,
Are we existing together here?
In whose grand saga
Have you and I become
Mere minor characters?
In whose poem have we become words?
Feeling as though I have turned into a machine,
Oh dream that appears to have transformed me,
Do not ever, ever fade away.
A smile belonging to another set of lips
Blooms upon my own lips today.
May it never, ever wither away.
Feeling as though I have turned into a machine,
Oh dream that appears to have transformed me,
Do not ever, ever fade away.
A smile belonging to another set of lips
Blooms upon my own lips today.
May it never, ever wither away.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This reflective song explores existential themes, identity, and deep romantic connection. 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.
