அர்த்த ராத்திரி
அர்த்தம் என்னடி
தலை கீழாய்
மாறி நிற்குதே
Midnight
What is the meaning?
Upside down
It stands transformed
மனம் மாறுதே
மானம் போகுதே
தப்பு தப்பாய்
தப்பு நடக்குதே
The mind is changing
Honor is vanishing
Wrong after wrong
Mistakes keep happening
ஹே போதையே
நீதான் என் தேவையே
தேடிதான் போகிறேன்
தேங்கி தான் நிற்கிறேன்
Hey intoxication!
You alone are my need
I go searching
I stand stagnant
என்னை நான் மறக்கிறேன்
ஒடிந்து நான் நடக்கிறேன்
தன்னால நான் பின்னால தான்
சாரி தான் சொல்கிறேன்
என்னாவேனோ ஏதாவேனோ
இருந்து தான் பார்க்கிறேன்
I forget myself
I walk around broken
On my own, moving backwards
I just say sorry
What will become of me, what will happen
I am staying to watch

நான் நான்னா
னா னா னா நானா னா} (2)

அரை மனிதனாக
நான் இருக்கிறேன்
ஓஹோ ஓ முழு மனிதனாக
நான் குடிக்கிறேன்
As half a human being
I exist
Ohoo oo as a complete human being
I drink
குப்பை மேட்டில்
மெத்தை போட்டு தூங்கினேன்
ஓஹோ ஓ பூக்களை
சாக்கடையில் வீசினேன்
On a pile of trash
I slept placing a mattress
Ohoo oo flowers
I threw into the gutter
ஓ என்ன
ஓ ஹோ ஹோ நீ என்ன
Ohh what
Oh ho hoo what are you
என் வாசமே
ஓஹோ மதுவில் மட்டும்
நான் இருக்கிறேன்
என் நேரமே
ஒஹ் ஹோ இரவில் மட்டும்
தான் வாழ்கிறேன்
My fragrance
Oho in alcohol alone
I exist
My time
Oh hoo at night time only
I live
நான் நான்னா
நான் நான்னா
னா னா னா நானா னா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song portrays a dark, introspective dive into addiction, loss of control, and existential crisis late at night. The narrator grapples with moral erosion and a fractured identity, seeking solace in alcohol while fully aware of their self-destruction.
