பெரிதாக என்ன கேட்கிறேன்
பேரன்பே.....
பிரியாதே என்றே சொல்கிறேன்
What big thing am I asking for?
My great love...
I am only asking you not to leave.
பிரியாமல் போ போ என்கிறாய்
பார்த்தும் நீ.....
பார்க்காமல் ஏனோ செல்கிறாய்
Without understanding, you tell me to go away.
Even after seeing me...
Why do you walk past without looking?
என் காதல் பாரம் என்றாய்
பாரம் என்றாய்
ஏன் அன்பே தூரம் சென்றாய்
கனவுகளில் கனவுகளில்
ஒரு விழியால் ஒரு விழியால்
உன்னை தினமும் தழுவுகிறேன்
You said my love is a burden,
Said it was a burden.
Why, my love, did you go far away?
In dreams, in dreams,
With one eye, with one eye,
Every day, I embrace you.
நிஜ உலகில் நிஜ உலகில்
மறு விழியால் மறு விழியால்
நீ எங்கே தொழவுகிறேன்
In the real world, in the real world,
With the other eye, with the other eye,
I search for where you are.
என் செய்கை பிடிக்கும் என்றவன்
அதையேதான்
இன்றேனோ பிடிகாதென்கிறான்
எனை பார்க்க எதையும் செய்தவன்
இன்றென பார்க்காமல் திரும்பி கொள்கிறேன்
The one who said he liked my actions,
That very same thing,
Why does he say he dislikes today?
The one who did everything just to see me,
Why does he turn away without looking today?
ஹோ என் காதல் பாரம் என்றாய்
பாரம் என்றாய்
ஏன் அன்பே தூரம் சென்றாய்
கனவுகளில் கனவுகளில்
ஒரு விழியால் ஒரு விழியால்
உன்னை தினமும் தழுவுகிறேன்
You said my love is a burden,
Said it was a burden.
Why, my love, did you go far away?
In dreams, in dreams,
With one eye, with one eye,
Every day, I embrace you.
நிஜ உலகில் நிஜ உலகில்
மறு விழியால் மறு விழியால்
நீ எங்கே தொழவுகிறேன்
In the real world, in the real world,
With the other eye, with the other eye,
I search for where you are.
Peridhaaga enna ketkiren
What big thing am I asking for?
Peranbae…
My great love...
Piriyaadhae endrae solgiren
I am only asking you not to leave.
Puriyaamal poo poo engiraai
Without understanding, you tell me to go away.
Paarthum nee…
Even after seeing me...
Paarkaamal yeno selgiraai
Why do you walk past without looking?
En kaadhal baaram endraai
You said my love is a burden,
Baaram endraai
Said it was a burden.
Yen anbae dhooram sendraai
Why, my love, did you go far away?
Kanuvagalil kanuvagalil
In dreams, in dreams,
Oru vizhiyaal oru vizhiyaal
With one eye, with one eye,
Unai dhinamum thazhuvugiren
Every day, I embrace you.
Nija ulagil nija ulagil
In the real world, in the real world,
Maru vizhiyaal maru vizhiyaal
With the other eye, with the other eye,
Nee engae thulavugiren
I search for where you are.
En seigai pidikkum endravan
The one who said he liked my actions,
Adhaiyae thaan
That very same thing,
Indraeno pidikkadhengiraan
Why does he say he dislikes today?
Enai paarka edhaiyum seidhavan
The one who did everything just to see me,
Indraeno paarkaamal thirumbi kolgiraan
Why does he turn away without looking today?
En kaadhal baaram endraai
You said my love is a burden,
Baaram endraai
Said it was a burden.
Yen anbae dhooram sendraai
Why, my love, did you go far away?
Kanuvagalil kanuvagalil
In dreams, in dreams,
Oru vizhiyaal oru vizhiyaal
With one eye, with one eye,
Unai dhinamum thazhuvugiren
Every day, I embrace you.
Nija ulagil nija ulagil
In the real world, in the real world,
Maru vizhiyaal maru vizhiyaal
With the other eye, with the other eye,
Nee engae thulavugiren
I search for where you are.
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song conveys the deep pain and confusion of experiencing sudden emotional detachment from a lover. The narrator laments how a partner who once cherished every gesture now views that very love as a heavy burden and purposefully walks away. Through vivid imagery, the lyrics contrast the dream state—where the narrator embraces the lover with one eye closed in sleep—with reality, where the other eye searches endlessly for their presence.
