என் நிழலில் உன் தேடலே
உன் அருகில் என் காதலே
என் இமைகள் கண் ரெண்டும்
உன் கரம் தேடுதே
Your search is within my shadow
My love resides near you
My eyelids and both my eyes
Are searching for your hand
நான் கேட்கும் மொழி ஆகிறாய்
என் பேச்சில் ஒலி ஆகிறாய்
புரியாத பெண்ணின்
மனதால் சாய்கிறேன்
You become the language I listen to
You become the voice in my speech
By the heart of an enigmatic girl
I lean over and yield
தினம் ஒரு முறை
உன்னால் இதயம்
ஏனென்று சொல்லாமல் சிதையும்
Once every single day
Because of you, my heart
Shatters without explaining why
கனம் கூட கனமாய் நகரும்
தாங்கி கொண்டு இருக்கேன்
கால போக்கில் வண்ணம் மாற
காயம் பட்ட இதயம் மீள
காத்திருந்த காலம் போக
காதல் மீதம் இருக்கும்
Even a moment moves heavily like a weight
I am enduring it all
As colors fade with the passage of time
As the wounded heart heals
As the time spent waiting passes
Love alone will remain behind
ஓஹ் ஓ ஓஹ் ஓ ஓஹ் ஓஹ் ஓ......
Oh oo ooh oo ooh ooh oo....
செடியா செடியா
நெஞ்சுலா முள் குத்துற
உயிர உருவி
நீ ஏன் போகுற
Like a thorny plant, oh thorny plant
You prick thorns in my heart
Uprooting and stripping my life
Why are you leaving?
நிலையே இல்லாத
காதலில் தடுமாறுறேன்
பழிய என் மேல்
நீ ஏன் போடுற
In a love that has no stability
I am stumbling
The blame upon me
Why do you keep putting?
அடி பெண்ணே
இது யார் விட்ட சாபம்
கண்ணே இனி உள்ளுக்குள்ள நோகும்
மண்ணே அது உரம் தராம போகும் போகும்
Oh dear girl
Whose curse is this?
Oh my dear, now it will ache deep within
Oh soil, it will go on without providing nourishmnent
என் உயிரே
அது உணர்வற்று போகும்
உறவோ அது நிலை கெட்டு போகும்
மலரே அது பூக்காமல் போகும் போகும்
Oh my life
It will become completely numb
The relationship will lose its standing and crumble
Oh flower, it will go on without blooming
என் நிழலில் உன் தேடலே
உன் அருகில் என் காதலே
என் இமைகள் கண் ரெண்டும்
உன் கரம் தேடுதே
Your search is within my shadow
My love resides near you
My eyelids and both my eyes
Are searching for your hand
நான் கேட்கும் மொழி ஆகிறாய்
என் பேச்சில் ஒலி ஆகிறாய்
புரியாத பெண்ணின்
மனதால் சாய்கிறேன்
You become the language I listen to
You become the voice in my speech
By the heart of an enigmatic girl
I lean over and yield

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
