Oh my friend...
Where did you go, where did you go?
As my very life...
You will live within me... you will live...
Oh my friend...
Where did you go, where did you go?
As my very life... you will live within me...
My whole life...
Is always you and you alone.
Like a mother who gave me life,
If the moon were gone,
Where would the ocean waves be?
That is how our bond is.
You are the reality,
And I am just your shadow.
Your memory lives on with my breath.
Oh my friend...
Where did you go, where did you go?
As my very life... you will live within me...
Losing our sleep in the middle of the night,
We roamed through the city streets.
Sharing a single cigarette together,
We wandered everywhere.
Like a bird wandering the sky,
Searching for the rain clouds,
I came here looking for you,
Just to beg for the gift of life.
Without you here,
The minutes and seconds just rush away.
Tears welling in both my eyes,
Even my eyelids search for you.
Oh Lord, my hands fall at your feet...
Oh my friend...
Where did you go, where did you go?
As my very life... you will live within me...
Living here through our separation,
Am I left as an isolated island?
Were the verses written by Valluvar (ancient Tamil poet-philosopher)
Truly meant just for us?
Like a mother who holds close
And comforts her crying child,
I ache while searching for you,
All alone in my sorrow.
There are tears in my eyes,
And you are the reason for them.
Even if death comes to touch me,
It will only bring me joy.
For you, I gave my life upon the cross...
Oh my friend...
Where did you go, where did you go?
As my very life...
You will live... live... live within me.
