Maara’s Oru Arai Unathu Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Yazin Nizar and Sanah Moidutty ask if the door between two rooms will open. Thamarai’s words question if the ocean between two waves can dissolve.
Oru Arai UnathuOne room is yours,
Oru Arai EnathuOne room is mine,
Idaiyinil Kathavu ThiranthidumaWill the door between them ever open?
Oru Alai UnathuOne wave is yours,
Oru Alai EnathuOne wave is mine,
Idaiyinil Kadalum KarainthidumaWill the ocean between them dissolve?
Oru Munai UnathuOne pole is yours,
Oru Munai EnathuOne pole is mine,
Iruvarin Dhuruvam InainthidumaWill our two poles ever unite?
Oru Mugil UnathuOne cloud is yours,
Oru Mugil EnathuOne cloud is mine,
Idaiyinil Nilavu KadanthidumaCan the moon pass between them?
Oru Kadhai UnathuOne story is yours,
Oru Kadhai EnathuOne story is mine,
Vidukathai MudiyumaWill this riddle ever be solved?
Oru Arai UnathuOne room is yours,
Oru Arai EnathuOne room is mine,
Idaiyinil Kathavu ThiranthidumaWill the door between them ever open?
Oru Alai UnathuOne wave is yours,
Oru Alai EnathuOne wave is mine,
Idaiyinil Kadalum KarainthidumaWill the ocean between them dissolve?

Vannam Nooru Vasal NooruA hundred colors, a hundred doorways,
Kan Munne KangindrenI see them now before my eyes.
Vanampadi Pole MariI’ve become like a songbird,
Engeyum Pogindrenand I’m wandering everywhere.
Vanathukkum MegathukkumIn a house that’s nestled,
Oode Ulla Veedondrilsomewhere between the sky and clouds.
Yarum Vanthu Adi PogumOn my porch, I’ve placed a swing,
Oonjal Vaitha En Mundrilwhere anyone can come and sway.
Pogum Pokkil Porvai Portham PoonthendralA gentle breeze drapes a blanket over me as it passes.
Oru Pagal UnathuOne day is yours,
Oru Pagal EnathuOne day is mine,
Idaiyinil Iravu UrangidumaCan the night fall asleep between them?
Oru Imai UnathuOne eyelid is yours,
Oru Imai EnathuOne is mine,
Idaiyinil Kanavu NigazhnthidumaCan a dream unfold between them?
Oru Malar UnathuOne flower is yours,
Oru Malar EnathuOne flower is mine,
Irandilum Idhazhgal Oru NiramaBut are the petals on both the same color?
Oru Mugam UnathuOne face is yours,
Oru Mugam EnathuOne face is mine,
Iruvarum Nilavin IrupuramaAre we just two sides of the same moon?
Oru Badhil UnathuOne answer is yours,
