Unnai Ninaithu
Harris Jayaraj | Sid Sriram • From “Kadhal Reset Repeat”
Vairamuthu’s lines describe wearing down one’s heart through total focus on another. Sid Sriram sings of containing vast pain within a small heart. The lyrics frame love as an unnamed force erasing personal identity.
Unnai NinaitheyJust by thinking of you,
Uyirai Valarthu VittenI’ve nurtured my very life.
Ennai MarandhaeCompletely forgetting myself,
Idhayam Ilaithu Vittenmy heart has worn thin.
Kannin ManikkulInside the pupils of my eyes,
Unnai Sirai PidithenI’ve captured you as my prisoner.
Unnai Uruthum EndraeFearing it might bother you,
Urakkam TholaithuvittenI’ve lost all my sleep.
Siragu MulaithaO young girl,
Sirumiyaewho’s sprouted wings.
Sitraadai NatchathiramaeYou’re a star draped in a ‘traditional wrap’.
Siriya ManadhinBeneath the blanket
Porvaikullaeof this small heart,
Valiyum Perungadalelies a massive ocean of pain.
Peyarum Ariyaa UravilaeIn a relationship that has no name,
Uyirum Alaigiradhaemy soul continues to wander.
Unnai NinaitheyJust by thinking of you,
Uyirai Valarthu VittenI’ve nurtured my very life.
Ennai MarandhaeCompletely forgetting myself,
Idhayam Ilaithu Vittenmy heart has worn thin.
Sithathil EnakkumWithin my mind,
Thithikkum Nadukkamthere’s a sweet trembling.
Rathathil Mayakkam YenadiWhy’s there a dizziness in my blood, girl?
Garbathil IrukkumEven a child
Pillaikkum Irukkumstill in the womb would feel it.
Kaadhalin Thodakkam NaanadiI’m the very beginning of love, girl.
Alaiyin Meedhoru Kumuzhi PolaLike a bubble riding upon a wave,
Alaiyum Sirumanam Paaradilook at how this small heart wanders.
Kumuzhi Meedhoru Padagu ModhiWhen a boat crashes into a bubble,
Kadalil Udaivadhu Yenadiwhy does it shatter into the sea?
Unadhu Udalil Uyirai PolaeJust like the life force within your body,
Maraindhu Thiriven NaandiI’ll wander while remaining hidden.
Unnai NinaitheyJust by thinking of you,
Uyirai Valarthu VittenI’ve nurtured my very life.
Ennai MarandhaeCompletely forgetting myself,
Idhayam Ilaithu Vittenmy heart has worn thin.
Siragu MulaithaO young girl,
Sirumiyaewho’s sprouted wings.
Sitraadai NatchathiramaeYou’re a star draped in a ‘traditional wrap’.
Siriya ManadhinBeneath the blanket
Porvaikullaeof this small heart,
Valiyum Perungadalelies a massive ocean of pain.
Peyarum Ariyaa UravilaeIn a relationship that has no name,
Uyirum Alaigiradhae Aeemy soul continues to wander, oh!
