| Male | |
| Amizhdhe nee urangida | Oh my nectar, for you to sleep, |
| Malar virithen | I spread flowers. |
| Adhile mul irunthida | Finding a thorn among them, |
| Manam padhaithen | My heart panicked in grief. |
| Male | |
| Kumile nee nadanthida | Oh delicate bubble, for you to walk, |
| Nilavai vaithen | I lit up the path with the moon. |
| Kuligal yen maranthuvitten | Yet, why did I forget the pits along the way? |
| Male | |
| Pizhaiyaai oru adi eduthen | By mistake, I took a wrong step. |
| Un urakathile pon kanavu udaithen | In your sleep, I shattered a golden dream. |
| Inimel kan aluthida thuli illaiyae | There are no tears left in my eyes to weep anymore. |
| Vidhai mel kal viluvadhu murai illaiyae | It is not fair for a heavy stone to fall upon a tender seed. |
| Male | |
| Thavarai naan thiruthida vazhi illaiye | There is no way left for me to correct my mistake. |
| Paravai kai vara villaiyae | The bird that flew away does not return to my hand. |
| Female | |
| Haaa….aaa…aaa… | Haaa... aaa... aaa... |
| Male | |
| Vyarvai thanikka | To relieve your sweat, |
| Puyal than koduthen | I offered a storm instead. |
| Dhaagm thanikka | To quench your thirst, |
| Kadal than thelithen | I splashed salty sea water. |
| Male | |
| Azhuthida en vizhi | To cry for you, my eyes, |
| Naan neetuven | I shall offer. |
| Uyire….. | Oh my life... |
| Male | |
| Amizhdhe nee urangida | Oh my nectar, for you to sleep, |
| Malar virithen | I spread flowers. |
| Adhile mul irunthida | Finding a thorn among them, |

அமிழ்தே நீ உறங்கிட
மலர் விரித்தேன்
அதிலே முள் இருந்திட
மனம் பதைத்தேன்
Oh my nectar, for you to sleep,
I spread flowers.
Finding a thorn among them,
My heart panicked in grief.
குமிழே நீ நடந்திட
நிலவை வைத்தேன்
குழிகள் ஏன்
மறந்துவிட்டேன்
Oh delicate bubble, for you to walk,
I lit up the path with the moon.
Yet, why did I forget the pits along the way?
பிழையாய் ஒரு ஆதி எடுத்தேன்
உன் உறக்கத்திலே போன் கனவு உடைத்தேன்
இனிமேல் அழுத்திட துளி இல்லையே
விதை மேல் கல் விழுவது முறை இல்லையே
By mistake, I took a wrong step.
In your sleep, I shattered a golden dream.
There are no tears left in my eyes to weep anymore.
It is not fair for a heavy stone to fall upon a tender seed.
தவறை நான் திருத்திட வழி இல்லையே
பறவை கை வரவில்லையே
There is no way left for me to correct my mistake.
The bird that flew away does not return to my hand.
ஹா..ஆஅ..ஆஆ...
Haaa... aaa... aaa...
வியர்வை தணிக்க
புயல் தான் கொடுத்தேன்
தாகம் தணிக்க
கடல் தான் தெளித்தேன்
To relieve your sweat,
I offered a storm instead.
To quench your thirst,
I splashed salty sea water.
அழுதிட என் விழி நான் நீட்டுவேன்
உயிரே..........
To cry for you, my eyes,
I shall offer.
Oh my life...
அமிழ்தே நீ உறங்கிட
மலர் விரித்தேன்
அதிலே முள் இருந்திட
மனம் பதைத்தேன்
Oh my nectar, for you to sleep,
I spread flowers.
Finding a thorn among them,
My heart panicked in grief.
குமிழே நீ நடந்திட
நிலவை வைத்தேன்
குழிகள் ஏன்
மறந்துவிட்டேன்
Oh delicate bubble, for you to walk,
I lit up the path with the moon.
Yet, why did I forget the pits along the way?
பிழையாய் ஒரு ஆதி எடுத்தேன்
உன் உறக்கத்திலே போன் கனவு உடைத்தேன்
By mistake, I took a wrong step.
In your sleep, I shattered a golden dream.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poignant song expresses profound regret, guilt, and heartache from a father towards his beloved child. He reflects on his desperate attempts to protect her and build a gentle world for her—metaphorically spreading flowers for her sleep and lighting her path with the moon. However, despite his best intentions, his oversight caused harm, breaking her world like a golden dream shattered in sleep.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Amizhdhe nee urangida”
Addressing the child as 'Amizhdhe' (nectar) and 'Kumile' (water bubble) emphasizes her extreme innocence, sweetness, and delicate nature.
Paradox / Situational Irony
“Vyarvai thanikka Puyal than koduthen”
The lyricist uses paradoxical imagery (giving a storm to cool sweat, giving sea water for thirst) to portray how well-meaning actions went terribly wrong.
Iyaibu (Rhyming Couplet/End Rhyme)
“Inimel kan aluthida thuli illaiyae”
The lines end with rhythmic matching suffix words like 'illaiyae' to create a sorrowful, lyrical cadence.
