மஞ்சள் குங்குமம் மங்களம் தர
மங்கை அவள் வந்தாள்
இரு மனமும் சேர்ந்து திருமணமாக
எண்ணம் அவள் தந்தாள்
To bestow auspiciousness with turmeric and vermilion,
She, the young woman, arrived.
For two hearts to unite in marriage,
She gave the desire.
ஓஓவு ஓஹோ! ஓஓவு ஓஹோ!
ஓஹோ! ஓஹோ!

என் காதல் உடைந்தது ஏனோ?
விட்டு சென்று தவிக்கிறேன் நானோ!
முதல் காதல் வருவது ஏனோ?
நெஞ்சோரம் நிரந்தரம் தானோ!
Why did my love break apart?
Having left, am I the one suffering in pain?
Why does first love happen at all?
Is it permanently residing in the corner of my heart?
என் அன்பே! என் அன்பே!
கவிதையும் நீயே!
என் நெஞ்சே! என் நெஞ்சே!
முழுவதும் நீயே!
My love! My love!
You are the poem itself!
My heart! My heart!
You are my entire world!
என் உயிரோடு உணர்வை கலந்து
என்னை பிரிவது ஏனோ?
ஏன் பறந்தாயோ? ஓ ஓ ஓ ...
Blending feelings deep into my soul,
Why are you separating from me?
Why did you fly away? ...ooo
முதல் காதல் வருவது ஏனோ?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song portrays the agonizing nostalgia and pain of heartbreak following a shattered relationship. It begins by recalling happier moments when the beloved brought joy, grace, and dreams of a sacred union into the protagonist's life. As the song progresses, the tone shifts into a deeply emotional contemplation. The protagonist questions the bittersweet permanence of first love, grieving over how someone who felt like poetry and an inseparable part of his soul could fly away and leave him in anguish.
