War 2’s Ulagena Uruveduthaai Lyrics Translation
The lyrics later compare life before love to being asleep. A kiss awakens the person to true existence. Another line asks for time to become a single moment, allowing lifetimes of love to fit within it.
Nee Enthan Ulakena UruveduththaiYou took shape as my world.
Nee Enthan Ulakena UruveduththaiYou took shape as my world.
Avvulaginil Nan Vizhunthe KidanthenAnd I lay, fallen within that world.
Nee Enthan Ulakena UruveduththaiYou took shape as my world.
Avvulaginil Nan Vizhunthe KidanthenAnd I lay, fallen within that world.
Nee Enthan Uyirinil KalakkaiyilWhen you began to merge with my soul,
Avvulaginai Nan Maranthe KidanthenI lay there, forgetting even that world.
Iru Kadhoda Oorkolam Pole NanOur two hearts move like a grand procession,
Kodi Vanavillale Anen Vanam NanI’ve become a sky of a million rainbows.
Mudhal Muththathil Pookkindra Nanam NamWe’re the shyness that blossoms in the first kiss,
Idhaya Idhalal Idhalin MozhiyalThrough the petals of our hearts, through the language of our lips.
Kalaththai Oru Nodiyaga SolladiTell me time is just a single moment,
Kalaththai Oru Nodiyaga SolladiTell me time is just a single moment,
Annodiyinil Jenmangal VazhththidaveSo we can live lifetimes in that one instant.
Nee Enthan Ulakena UruveduththaiYou took shape as my world.
Avvulaginil Nan Vizhunthe KidanthenAnd I lay, fallen within that world.
Nee Enthan Uyirinil KalakkaiyilWhen you began to merge with my soul,
Avvulaginai Nan Maranthe KidanthenI lay there, forgetting even that world.
Megam Ellam Enthan MeethoAre all the clouds gathered over me
Mazhai Ena Unnai PeiyaSo that you can rain down upon me?
Oo Meni Ellam Unthan ThuliOh, as your droplets
Vazhinthu Meal Keezhai PayaFlow and stream all over my skin.
Ingu Unnodu Kai Korkkum PothuHere, whenever I hold your hand,
Nan Kangindra Yedhondrum AzhagagutheEverything I see becomes beautiful.
Enthan Thookkaththai Pol Vazhum VazhvaiThe life I lived was just like being asleep,
Un Muththathin Thakkathil Nan VazhgirenBut now I live in the jolt of your kiss.
Nee Unthan Ragasiya Manam SolladaTell me the secrets of your heart,
Nee Unthan Ragasiya Manam SolladaTell me the secrets of your heart,
Piriththu Athai Parththida AsaiyadaI long to open it and look inside.
Nee Enthan Ulakena UruveduththaiYou took shape as my world.
Avvulaginil Nan Vizhunthe KidanthenAnd I lay, fallen within that world.
Nee Enthan Uyirinil KalakkaiyilWhen you began to merge with my soul,
Avvulaginai Nan Maranthe KidanthenI lay there, forgetting even that world.
Nee Enthan Ulakena UruveduththaiYou took shape as my world.
Avvulaginil Nan Vizhunthe KidanthenAnd I lay, fallen within that world.
KadhaleOh, love,
Vetkkai Nam SeivomadaLet’s create a longing all our own.
KadhaleOh, love,
Bodhai Ini UnbomadaFrom now on, let’s drink this ecstasy.
KadhaleOh, love,
Ulagam IrundalumEven if the world goes dark,
Avvulaginil Va Vizhunthe KidappomCome, let’s lie fallen together within it.
KadhaleOh, love,
Kanavu Ena KanbomadaLet’s see it all as a dream.
KadhaleOh, love,
Kanavu Ena AsaivomadaLet’s sway together like a dream.
KadhaleOh, love,
Marathi VarumpothuWhen oblivion finally comes,
Avvulaginil Nam Maranthe KidappomWe’ll lie in that world, forgotten.
The song moves from creating a world to willingly forgetting it when their souls merge. This progression shows a bond that replaces external reality. The lyrics end by accepting a dark world, as long as they can be together within it. The meaning of Madhan Karky’s ‘Ulagena Uruveduthaai’ lyrics is about this total union.
