சிறுமை கொண்டு
தவித்தேன் என் சிறகில்
ஒன்றை முறித்தேன்
ஒற்றை சிறகில் ஊன பறவை
எத்தனை தூரம் பறப்பேன்
I squirmed in humiliation and sorrow
I broke one of my own wings
A disabled bird with only one wing
How far can I fly?
அன்பே உன்னை
அழைத்தேன் உன் அகிம்சை
இம்சை பொறுத்தேன் சீதை
குளித்த நெருப்பில் என்னை
குளிக்க சொன்னால் குளிப்பேன்
My love, I called out to you
I endured the torment of your non-violence
In the fire bathed in destruction
If you tell me to bathe, I will bathe
அழுத நீரில்
கறைகள் போய் விடும்
தெரியாதா
In the water of tears shed
Stains will wash away
Don't you know?
குறைகள் உள்ளது
மனித உறவுகள் புரியாதா
Flaws exist
In human relationships
Don't you understand?

நடத்தும் பேச்சு வார்த்தை
உடைந்த மனங்கள்
ஒட்டாதா
This is a peace talk
Conducted by tears
Will broken hearts
Not mend?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poignant song expresses the yearning and sorrow of separated lovers. The protagonist tenderly asks about the well-being of her partner, gently inquiring if his anger, solitude, and unresolved longings are doing fine without her. She acknowledges her missteps, comparing herself to a bird with a single wing unable to fly far, and shows willingness to endure any torment or trial to seek forgiveness. Ultimately, she appeals for reconciliation, highlighting that human relationships inherently have flaws and that tears serve as a silent dialogue attempting to heal broken hearts.
