தினம் தினம் நான்
சாகிறேன் பயத்தினிலே
வாழ்கிறேன் வலியுடன்
நான் போகிறேன் இருள்
மட்டுமே பாா்க்கிறேன்
Every day I am dying
I am living in fear
I walk away with pain
I see only darkness
எங்கே போனால் என்
நோய் போகும் அங்கே போகும்
பாதை வேண்டும் எங்கே போனால்
கண்கள் தூங்கும் அங்கே வாழும்
வாழ்க்கை வேண்டும்
Where should I go for my illness to leave?
I need the path that goes there
Where should I go so my eyes can sleep?
I need a life lived there
தினம் தினம் நான்
சாகிறேன் பயத்தினிலே
வாழ்கிறேன் வலியுடன்
நான் போகிறேன் இருள்
மட்டுமே பாா்க்கிறேன்
Every day I am dying
I am living in fear
I walk away with pain
I see only darkness
ஏன் நான் பிறந்தேன்
ஏன் நான் வாழ்கிறேன்
வாழ்வே சுமையாய்
நான் சுமக்கிறேன்
Why was I born?
Why am I living?
Life as a burden
I am carrying
யாா் நான் மறந்தேன்
வோ் நான் இழக்கிறேன்
தீயில் புழுவாய்
நான் துடிக்கிறேன்
I forgot who I am
I am losing my roots
Like a worm in fire
I am writhing
என் பெயரே மறந்ததே
எவா் முகமோ கிடைத்ததே
நொடிகள் என்னை வதைக்குதே
எந்தன் கண்ணில் ரத்தம் சிந்த
My name itself is forgotten
I got someone else's face
Seconds are torturing me
As blood sheds from my eyes
தினம் தினம் நான்
சாகிறேன் பயத்தினிலே
வாழ்கிறேன் வலியுடன்
நான் போகிறேன் இருள்
மட்டுமே பாா்க்கிறேன்
Every day I am dying
I am living in fear
I walk away with pain
I see only darkness
மழையில் நனைத்தேன்
இடியாய் விழுந்தது
எத்தனை முறை தான்
நான் சாவது
I got drenched in the rain
It fell down like thunder
How many times
Must I die?
கனவாய் வாழ்க்கை
கலைந்தால் நல்லது
போதும் உலகில்
நான் வாழ்ந்தது
If life as a dream
Dissolves, it would be good
It is enough in this world
That I have lived
அழுதிடவே நீா் இல்லை
அடித்திடு நீ வலியில்லை
இருந்திட நான் இடம் இல்லை
எந்தன் கண்ணில் ரத்தம் சிந்த
There are no tears left to cry
Strike me, there is no pain
There is no place for me to exist
As blood sheds from my eyes
Dhinam dhinam naan saagiren
Every day I am dying
Bayathinilae vaazhgiren
I am living in fear
Valiyudan naan pogiren
I walk away with pain
Irul mattumae paarkiren
I see only darkness
Yenge ponaal..en noi pogum
Where should I go for my illness to leave?
Angae pogum paathai vendum
I need the path that goes there
Yengae ponaal..kangal thungum
Where should I go so my eyes can sleep?
Angae vaazhum vaazhkai vendum
I need a life lived there
Dhinam dhinam naan saagiren
Every day I am dying
Bayathinilae vaazhgiren
I am living in fear
Valiyudan naan pogiren
I walk away with pain
Irul mattumae paarkiren
I see only darkness
Yen naan piranthen
Why was I born?
Yen naan vaazhgiren
Why am I living?
Vaazhvae sumaiyaai
Life as a burden
Naan sumakiren
I am carrying
Yaar naan maranthen
I forgot who I am
Ver naan ezhakiren
I am losing my roots
Theeyil puluvaai
Like a worm in fire
Naan thudikiren
I am writhing
En peyarae maranthathae
My name itself is forgotten
Evar mughamo kidaithathae
I got someone else's face
Nodigal ennai vathaikuthae
Seconds are torturing me
Enthan kannil ratham sintha
As blood sheds from my eyes
Dhinam dhinam naan saagiren
Every day I am dying
Bayathinilae vaazhgiren
I am living in fear
Valiyudan naan pogiren
I walk away with pain
Irul mattumae paarkiren
I see only darkness
Mazhaiyil nanaithen
I got drenched in the rain
Idiyaai vizhunthathu
It fell down like thunder
Ethanai murai thaan
How many times
Naan saavathu
Must I die?
Kanavaai vaazhkai
If life as a dream
Kalainthaal nallathu
Dissolves, it would be good
Pothum ulagil
It is enough in this world
Naan vaazhnthathu
That I have lived
Aluthidavae neer illai
There are no tears left to cry
Adithidu nee vali illai
Strike me, there is no pain
Irunthida naan idam illai
There is no place for me to exist
Enthan kannil ratham sintha
As blood sheds from my eyes
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This melancholic song portrays deep existential turmoil, suffering, and the psychological torment of identity loss. The protagonist feels completely isolated in darkness, forced to carry the weight of a stolen identity while living in constant fear and agonizing distress. He questions his purpose in life and longs for peace or an end to his suffering. The lyricism emphasizes utter emotional numbness where physical and psychological pain have reached an extremity. Having lost his true identity, roots, and name, he feels stripped of humanity, writhing in despair and wishing for his painful existence to end.
