En uyiraai nee irundhaai
Poguthae nizhal
En nenjam thaanguma

En uyiraai nee irundhaai
Un uyiraai naan irundhen
Nee irundhaal naan pizhaippen
Nee pirindhaal naan irappen
Un ninaivil vazhndhiruppen
Un kanavaai naan iruppen
Manasukkullae pirivin vali
Poguthu en kaadhal kili
Heyy eyyy eyy eyyy

You were my very life
Even my shadow is leaving
Can my heart bear it?
The pain of love...
Will my eyes ever close in sleep?
All the bonds we built together
Have broken halfway through
Who is left for me now?
My heart is torn apart
I am left all alone
You were my very life
I was your very life
If you are with me, I will survive
If you leave me, I will die
I will live on in your memory
I will remain as your dream
Deep inside is the pain of parting
My sweet lovebird is flying away
Hey yey ey yey
Hey ey ey ey ey
Haa... aah... aah... aah...
To lean against your shoulder,
My soul longs,
Please talk to me again,
My heart yearns,
Thinking it was all my fault,
I cry now in longing,
All my dreams have shattered,
In the reckless game I played,
My heart is breaking,
My blood is draining away,
If you cry, I will cry too,
If I cry, who will come for me?
I am completely dazed and lost...
You were my very life
I was your very life
If you are with me, I will survive
If you leave me, I will die
I will live on in your memory
I will remain as your dream
Deep inside is the pain of parting
My sweet lovebird is flying away
Hey yey ey yey
Hey ey ey ey ey
The moon is slipping away...
Can my heart bear it?...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song is a poignant grief-laden lament expressing the agony of heartbreak and separation. The protagonist grieves the departure of his beloved, feeling completely isolated as his inner world collapses. He reflects on how intimately tied their lives were, describing a level of emotional dependency where life without her feels identical to death. Regretting his own mistakes that shattered his dreams, he suffers alone with no one to comfort him. Vivid descriptions of a torn heart, dissolving blood, and a vanishing moon highlight his utter despair, loneliness, and enduring yearning for his lost love.
