................................
Did I fall? Did I get lost?
Without filling up, did I spill over?
I pluck non-existent flowers without snipping them.
I leave them with you without saying a word.
விழுந்தேனா தொலைந்தேனா
நிறையாமல் வழிந்தேனா
இல்லாத பூக்களை கிள்ளாமல் கொய்கிறேன்
சொல்லாமல் உன்னிடம் தந்துவிட்டுப் போகிறேன்
Like a legless turtle,
Time runs away.
Here, when I feel your absence,
I realize a truth myself.
கால் இல்லா ஆமை போல்
காலம் ஓடுதே
இங்கே உன் இன்மை உணர்கிற போது
ஒரே உண்மையை அறிகிறேன் நானே
Does that which happens inside me,
Exist in your heart too?
Thinking thus, my heart beats anxiously.
எனக்குள்ளே நிகழ்ந்திடும் அது
உன் நெஞ்சிலும் உண்டா
என்றெண்ணி இருதயம் துடிக்குதே
Will you call? Will you call?
Will you call, even if for just a second?
I am being stubborn...
Endlessly... will you call?
அழைப்பாயா அழைப்பாயா
நொடியேனும் அழைப்பாயா
பிடிவாதம் பிடிக்கின்றேன்
முடியாமலே....அழைப்பாயா
Will you call? Will you call?
I lie around without studying,
I bite the clock watching time painfully...
Before dawn breaks... will you call?
அழைப்பாயா அழைப்பாயா
படிக்காமல் கிடக்கின்றேன்
கடிகாரம் கடிக்கின்றேன்....
விடியாமலே...அழைப்பாயா
What should I speak?
I rehearsed it by speaking.
What should you say?
I rehearsed that as well.
For all of that, rehearsals
I ran and checked...
[Whistling]
Where you should smile,
I included that as well.
நான் என்ன பேச வேண்டும்
என்று சொல்லிப் பார்த்தேன்
நீ என்ன கூற வேண்டும்
என்றும் சொல்லிப் பார்த்தேன்
நான் அத்தனைக்கும் ஒத்திகைகள்
ஓடவிட்டுப் பார்த்தேன்....
விசில் :
...........................
If this situation continues...
What will become of me?
If you call before I am forgotten...
I will survive.
நீ எங்கு புன்னகைக்க வேண்டும்
என்று கூட சேர்த்தேன்
Will you call? Will you call?
Will you call me on the phone?
I am jumping upside down...
Just to hear your voice... will you call?
Will you call? Will you call?
I wake up in the middle of the night,
I tear away the calendar pages...
Just to see you... will you call?
நிலைமை தொடர்ந்தால்...
என்ன நான் ஆகுவேன்
மறக்கும் முன்னே அழைத்தால்...
பிழைப்பேன்...
Hey, like a snack half-eaten
and kept closed,
Like a song that touched my ear
and ran away,
Like a magical fragrance
blown over my nose,
When you hang up the phone after speaking,
Longing covers over my heart.
அழைப்பாயா அழைப்பாயா
அலைபேசி அழைப்பாயா
தலைகீழாய் குதிக்கின்றேன்
குரல் கேட்கவே...அழைப்பாயா
அழைப்பாயா அழைப்பாயா....
நடுஜாமம் விழிக்கின்றேன்
நாட்காட்டி கிழிக்கின்றேன்.....
உனைப் பார்க்கவே...அழைப்பாயா...
Shrinking and expanding,
My heart turns into an entire earth.
Something else is bothering my heart here.
ஹே பாதி தின்று
மூடிவைத்த தீனி போலவே
என் காதில் பட்டு
ஓடிப் போன பாடல் போலவே
என் நாசி மீது வீசி விட்ட
மாயமான வாசம் போலே
நீ பேசி வைக்கும் போது
ஏக்கம் மூடும் நெஞ்சின் மேலே
Will you call? Will you call?
Will you call without fail?
Even if you call by mistake...
That is enough... will you call?
சுருங்கும் விரியும் புவியாய் மாறுதே
இதயம் இங்கே
வேற் ஏதோ... நேருதே...
Will you call? Will you call?
Hoo oo hoo oo oo oo
Will you call? Will you call?
Even if all words dissolve,
If silences speak,
That is enough... will you call?
அழைப்பாயா அழைப்பாயா
தவறாமல் அழைப்பாயா
தவறாக அழைத்தாலும்
அது போதுமே...அழைப்பாயா
அழைப்பாயா அழைப்பாயா
ஹோ ஓ ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஓ
அழைப்பாயா அழைப்பாயா
மொழியெல்லாம் கரைந்தாலும்
மௌனங்கள் உரைத்தாலே
அது போதுமே....அழைப்பாயா....ஆஅ....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Azhaippaaya' from Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi captures the agonizing, restless anticipation of a young lover waiting for a phone call from their partner following a rift or separation. The lyrics meticulously convey how everyday routines fall apart—neglecting studies, obsessively checking the clock, waking in the middle of the night, and rehearsing imaginary telephone conversations down to the exact moment the partner might laugh. Madhan Karky's writing cleverly pairs urban youth culture with deep emotional longing, presenting the mobile phone call as a crucial lifeline for emotional survival and reconciliation.
