Nerrukku Ner’s Engenge Engenge Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Vairamuthu uses vivid images like ‘I’m a bubble and you’re the wind’ to describe the fragile nature of love. The wordsmith mentions a ‘cotton-like heart’ that could catch fire, showing how vulnerable the lover feels. The poet also talks about golden anklets ringing a lover’s name, adding a touch of tradition to the story.
Engenge Engenge EngeWhere is it? Where is it? Where?
Inbam Ullathendru Thedi KolladheDon’t go searching for where happiness lies.
Oh Thallipo Thallipo InthaOh, stay away, move away.
Panju Nenjam Pathikollum VaradheDon’t come near, or this cotton-like heart will catch fire.
Nan Oru Kumizhi Nee Oru KatruI’m a bubble and you’re the wind.
Thodadhe Nee ThodadheDon’t touch me, don’t touch.
Nee Oru Kilithan Nan Unthan KilaithanYou’re a parrot and I’m your branch.
Seladhe Thalli SeladheDon’t leave, don’t go far away.
Oh Ennama Ennama UnthanOh, what’s wrong? What’s the matter?
Nenjil Ulla Vali Enna EnnamaWhat’s this pain inside your heart?
En Thookathil En UthadugalIn my sleep, my lips,
Un Per Solli Puzhambum Puzhambum Oore Ezhumbummumble your name until the whole town wakes up.
En Kalgalil Pon KolusugalThe golden anklets on my feet,
Un Per Solli Olikum Olikum Uyirai Edukumring out your name and steal my very soul.
Poo Pole Iruntha Manam Indru MungilpolA heart that was soft like a flower, now like bamboo,
Vedikuthadi Sakiye Sakiye Sakiyeit’s bursting apart, my dear.
Idhayam Thudikum Udalin VeliyeMy heart is beating outside of my body.
Engenge Engenge EngeWhere is it? Where is it? Where?

Un Adaiyin Pon Noolile En JeevanumIn the golden threads of your dress, my soul
Thudikum Thudikum Uyire Valikumis trembling, and my life feels the pain.
Nan Unnai ThurathiyadipathumMy chasing after you,
