That was a time, a beautiful time
The memories of living with her
are enough, let them be
Forget everything from the past
For you and I were born only to smile
Hey, if two people become a pair,
is it only to end up all alone?
If you smile like shining pearls,
is it only to end up weeping completely?
Hey, just like a lively,
playful child, you should be
Forget all your sorrow
and fly like a kite forever
That was a time, a beautiful time
The memories of living with her
are enough, let them be
Forget everything from the past
For you and I were born only to smile
You and I, you and I, you and I
You and I, you and I...
Oh, the heart is a home,
a nest where a girl lives
Inside it, she lit a fire and walked away
Ooh... the world is a stage,
dance on it every day
Flow like a fresh, overflowing river
If you feel a heavy burden in your heart,
throw it far away
If you find tears in your eyes,
go find another girl!
Oh... which path is left for me to take?
We can just float in the open sky!
What words can describe my pain?
You can forget it all!
Believing she was mine and mine alone,
I used to live
Why did she hate me?
I am completely dying inside
That was a time, a beautiful time
The memories of living with her
are enough, let them be
Forget everything from the past
For you and I were born only to smile
You and I, you and I, you and I
You and I, you and I...
Oh... after parting from her,
I became like melting wax
I burned away in her memories
Ooh... in life, when you know how to connect,
you must also know how to walk away
Once you realize that, there is no grief in your heart
A love that endures like carved stone,
you must erase it yourself
Love is like swimming against a wild river,
but I have come to lend you a hand!
Oh... why did she refuse to accept me?
Why hold onto this sadness, my friend?
Is this really a wound that will never heal?
Time is the medicine, my friend!
In the middle of this world, I have become all alone
Because of her, I wept and turned into an ocean of tears
That was a time, a beautiful time
The memories of living with her
are enough, let them be
Forget everything from the past
For you and I were born only to smile
Hey, if two people become a pair,
is it only to end up all alone?
If you smile like shining pearls,
is it only to end up weeping completely?
Hey, just like a lively,
playful child, you should be
Forget all your sorrow
and fly like a kite forever

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This track presents a philosophical dialogue between a heartbroken lover wallowing in grief and a pragmatic friend encouraging him to move on. While the lover mourns the memories of a ruined past, feeling consumed like a burning candle and submerged in an ocean of tears, his friend tries to shift his perspective toward hope and emotional resilience.

Simile (Upamai)
“Muthu pol sirithaal”
Compares smiling to pearls ('muthu pol sirithaal') and living carefree to a soaring kite ('pattam pol para eppothum').

“Neeyum naanum neeyum naanum neeyum naanum”
Repetition of words like 'Neeyum naanum' and 'Athu oru kaalam' provides rhythmic structure and emotional depth to the lyrics.
