ஆசை முகம் மறந்து போச்சே
இதை யாரிடம் சொல்வேனடி தோழி
ஆசை முகம் மறந்து போச்சே
இதை யாரிடம் சொல்வேனடி தோழி
The face I longed for has been forgotten
To whom shall I express this sorrow, my dear friend?
The face I longed for has been forgotten
To whom shall I express this sorrow, my dear friend?
நேசம் மறக்கவில்லை நெஞ்சம்
நேசம் மறக்கவில்லை நெஞ்சம்
எனில் நினைவு முகம் மறக்கலாமோ
My heart has not forgotten the love
My heart has not forgotten the love
Yet, how can the remembered face be forgotten?
ஆசை முகம் மறந்து போச்சே
இதை யாரிடம் சொல்வேனடி தோழி
The face I longed for has been forgotten
To whom shall I express this sorrow, my dear friend?
கண்ணில் தெரியுதொரு தோற்றம்
அதில் கண்ணன் அழகு முழுதில்லை
கண்ணில் தெரியுதொரு தோற்றம்
அதில் கண்ணன் அழகு முழுதில்லை
நன்னு முக வடிவு கானில்
நன்னு முக வடிவு கானில்
அந்த நல்ல மலர்ச்சிரிப்பை காணோம்
An outline appears in my eyes
Yet Krishna's full beauty is not complete in it
An outline appears in my eyes
Yet Krishna's full beauty is not complete in it
Even if I attempt to see the form of his face
Even if I attempt to see the form of his face
That beautiful flower-like smile cannot be seen
கண்கள் புரிந்து விட்ட பாவம்
உயிர் கண்ணன் உரு மறக்கலாச்சு
பெண்கள் இனத்தில் இது போலே
ஒரு பேதையை முன்பு கண்டதுண்டோ....
The face I longed for has been forgotten
To whom shall I express this sorrow, my dear friend?
ஆசை முகம் மறந்து போச்சே
இதை யாரிடம் சொல்வேனடி தோழி
If Krishna's face is forgotten
If Krishna's face is forgotten
What is the use of having these eyes?
Look, there is no color portrait either
Look, there is no color portrait either
What is the way for me to live now, my friend?
கண்ணன் முகம் மறந்து போனால்
கண்ணன் முகம் மறந்து போனால்
இந்த கண்கள் இருத்தும் பயனுண்டோ.....
வண்ண படமும் இல்லை கண்டாய்
வண்ண படமும் இல்லை கண்டாய்
இனி வாழும் வழி என்னடி தோழி......
The face I longed for has been forgotten...
To whom shall I express this sorrow, my dear friend?
ஆசை முகம் மறந்து போச்சே
இதை யாரிடம் சொல்வேனடி தோழி......

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Written by Mahakavi Subramanya Bharathiyar, this song captures the poignant grief of a beloved (or devotee in Nayaki Bhava) who despairs because she can no longer visually recall the exact face of her beloved Krishna. Though her heart's affection remains untouched and deep, the visual memory of his countenance fades, causing her intense sorrow. Expressing her grief to her confidante, she questions the purpose of her eyes if she cannot recall Krishna's exquisite flower-like smile, lamenting that no picture exists to aid her visual memory. In the context of the 2024 film Miss You, Ghibran Vaibodha adapts this timeless classical piece with Deepthi Suresh's soulful vocals to highlight modern themes of longing and memory loss.
