Ennodu Nee Irundhaal Lyrics Meaning (in English): I | Sid Sriram & Sunitha Sarathy

Kaatrai Tharum Kaadugal Vendam
Thanneer Tharum Kadalgal Vendam
Naan Unna Urangave Boomi Vendam
Thevai Indha Devathaiye

I don’t need the forests that gift me their breeze.
I don’t need the seas that give the world its water.
I don’t even need this earth to live or rest upon.
All I need is you, my angel.

Ennodu Nee Irundhaal Uyirodu Naan Iruppen
Ennodu Nee Irundhaal Uyirodu Naan Iruppen
Ennodu Nee Irundhaal Uyirodu Naan Iruppen
(Ennodu Nee Irundhaal Uyirodu Naan Iruppen)

If you’re with me, I’ll truly be alive.
If you’re with me, I’ll truly be alive.
If you’re with me, I’ll truly be alive.
(If you’re with me, I’ll truly be alive.)

Ennai Naan Yaar Endru Sonnalum Puriyaadhe
En Kaadhal Neeyendru Yaarukkum Theriyaadhe
Nee Kettaal Ulagathai Naan Vaangi Tharuvene
Nee Illaa Ulagathil Naan Vaazha Maattene

Even if I tell them who I am, they still won’t understand me.
No one knows that you are my love.
If you ask for it, I’d bring the whole world to your feet.
But in a world without you, I could never live.

Ennodu Nee Irundhaal
Unmai Kaadhal Yaar Endraal
Unnai Ennai Solvene
Neeyum Naanum Poi Endraal Kaadhalai
Thedi Kolvene

If you’re with me, and someone asks what true love is,
I’ll point to you and me.
And if our love itself is a lie, then I’ll hunt love down
and destroy the very idea of it.

Koondhal Meesai Ondraaga Oosi Noolil Thaippene
Thengaaykulle Neer Pola Nenjil Thekki Kolvene

I’d stitch your hair and my mustache together
with nothing but a needle and thread.
Like water hidden inside a coconut,
I’ll keep you safe within my heart.

Vathikuchi Kaambil Roja Pookkuma
Poonai Thenai Kettaal Pookkal Erkuma
Muthalai Kulathil Malaraai Malarndhen
Kuzhandhai Arugil Kurangaai Bayandhen

Can a rose ever bloom from the tip of a matchstick?
If a cat asked for honey, would the flowers agree to give it?
I bloomed like a flower in a pond full of crocodiles.
And beside you, I turned fearful like a child before a beast.

Ennodu Nee Irundhaal Uyirodu Naan Iruppen
Ennodu Nee Irundhaal Uyirodu Naan Iruppen
Ennodu Nee Irundhaal Uyirodu Naan Iruppen
(Ennodu Nee Irundhaal Uyirodu Naan Iruppen)

If you’re with me, I’ll truly be alive.
If you’re with me, I’ll truly be alive.
If you’re with me, I’ll truly be alive.
(If you’re with me, I’ll truly be alive.)
