ஏதோ ஒன்னு நெனச்சிருந்தேன்...
ஏதேதோ சொல்ல வாயெடுத்தேன்...
வார்த்த மறந்ததென்ன
வந்த மயக்கம் என்ன
பூங்கிளியே மாங்குயிலே கூறு
பூ மனசில் புகுந்தது யார் நீ கூறு
உண்மைய நீ ரகசியமா பேசு
உள்ள துணை உன்ன விட்டா வேறாரு
I was thinking of something...
I opened my mouth to say so many things...
Why did I forget the words?
What is this trance that came over me?
Oh flower-parakeet, oh mango-cuckoo, tell me.
Tell me, who entered this flower-like heart?
Speak the truth to me in secret.
Who else is the companion of my soul besides you?
ஏதோ ஒன்னு நெனச்சிருந்தேன்...
ஏதேதோ சொல்ல வாயெடுத்தேன்...
வார்த்த மறந்ததென்ன
வந்த மயக்கம் என்ன
பூங்கிளியே மாங்குயிலே கூறு
பூ மனசில் புகுந்தது யார் நீ கூறு
உண்மைய நீ ரகசியமா பேசு
உள்ள துணை உன்ன விட்டா வேறாரு
I was thinking of something
I opened my mouth to say so many things...
Why did I forget the words?
What is this trance that came over me?
Oh flower-parakeet, oh mango-cuckoo, tell me.
Tell me, who entered this flower-like heart?
Speak the truth to me in secret.
Who else is the companion of my soul besides you?
ஏதோ ஒன்னு நெனச்சிருந்தேன்
ஏதேதோ சொல்ல வாயெடுத்தேன்
I was thinking of something...
I opened my mouth to say so many things...
என்ன சொல்லுது உந்தன்
பெண்மை உள்ளத்தில் உள்ள
சங்கதியா சங்கதியா
உண்மை உன் கண்கள் சொல்ல
கண்கள் என் உள்ளம் கொள்ள
நிம்மதியா நிம்மதியா
What is it saying, your...
Inside your womanly heart,
Is it news, is it news?
As your eyes speak the truth,
As those eyes captivate my heart,
Is it peace, is it peace?
நடப்பத சொல்ல நான் யாரு
நடக்குது உள்ளத் தகராறு
உள்ளமும் உண்மைய அறியாது
ஒருவருக்கும் இது தெரியாது
Who am I to speak of what is happening?
A conflict is happening within inside.
Even the heart does not know the truth.
Nobody knows this.
போயி வரும் வெண்ணிலவே
நீ தேனமுதா
நெஞ்சில் தெளிப்பது ஏன்
போய்விட வேணா இங்கே நில்லு இப்படியே
Oh moon that comes and goes,
Are you sweet nectar?
Why are you sprinkling it on my heart?
Don't leave, stay here just like this.
ஏதோ ஒன்னு நெனச்சிருந்தேன்
ஏதேதோ சொல்ல வாயெடுத்தேன்
I was thinking of something...
I opened my mouth to say so many things...
பக்கம் நீ நின்றிருக்க
தூரம் என் உள்ளம் செல்லும்
என்னடியோ ஏனடியோ
எங்கோ நீ தூரம் நிற்க
நெஞ்சில் நீ ஒட்டி நிற்க
என்னடியோ ஏனடியோ
When you stand near me,
My heart wanders far away.
What is this, what is this?
When you stand somewhere far away,
You stick closely in my heart.
What is this, what is this?
தாளம் எங்கே தெரியாமல்
அடிக்குது அடிக்குது இள மனசு
ராகம் என்னும் கடலினிலே
தவிக்குது தவிக்குது அலை அடிச்சு
Without knowing where the rhythm is,
This young heart beats and beats.
In the ocean named melody,
It suffers as the waves crash over it.
புது வழியில்
மனசு போகையிலே
புது புதுசா
எதையோ பாக்கையிலே
பொத்தி வெச்சத
புரிய வைக்கவும் தெரியலையே.....
On a new path,
As the heart goes,
Brand new things,
As it beholds something,
What has been kept hidden,
I do not even know how to make it understood.
ஏதோ ஒன்னு நெனச்சிருந்தேன்....
ஏதேதோ சொல்ல வாயெடுத்தேன்
வார்த்த மறந்ததென்ன
வந்த மயக்கம் என்ன
பூங்கிளியே மாங்குயிலே கூறு
பூ மனசில் புகுந்தது யார்
நீ கூறு
உண்மைய நீ ரகசியமா பேசு
உள்ள துணை உன்ன விட்டா வேறாரு

I opened my mouth to say so many things...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Yedho Onnu Nenachirundhen' from the movie Solla Marandha Kadhai captures the subtle confusion, hesitation, and sweet inner turmoil of blossoming love. The lovers struggle to articulate their feelings, constantly finding themselves speechless and spellbound in each other's presence. They ponder how proximity causes their minds to wander, yet distance brings their hearts closer together. Through metaphors of nature, music, and the moon, the song depicts how love disrupts routine rhythms and creates a ocean of melody in the soul. The couple exchanges secret truths and acknowledges that despite the inner conflict, they find soulmates in one another.
