Why did you come into my life?
Tell me the reason, woman...
எனை கழட்டி விட்ட நீ பேயடி
நான் தெருவில் நிற்கும் நாய் போலடி
நீ எங்கே போனாயடி
You abandoned me, you ghost-like woman
I am standing like a stray dog on the street, woman
Hey, where did you go, woman?
என்னனாதே ஏதானதோ

My love is like my life itself
You don't understand that, woman
My heart is delicate like a flower
It cannot bear this grief...

A volcano is exploding inside my head, woman
My heart is shattered on the ground, woman
Hey, what am I going to do, woman?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song depicts the intense emotional turmoil of a betrayed lover expressing raw grief, fury, and anguish after losing his love. He addresses his former beloved with harsh epithets like 'sandaali' (cruel woman) and 'mohini' (enchantress), venting his desire for retribution while acknowledging that his anger is destroying his own mind. Beneath the violent expressions of rage lies a deep sense of despair. He compares his fragile heart to a flower and his mental anguish to an exploding volcano. Ultimately, the protagonist cycle between aggressive anger and a desperate longing for inner tranquility ('saantham') and peace ('saanthi') so he can survive the heartbreak.
