விழிநீங்கி நீங்கி போகுதே காட்சி
குழல் நீங்கி போகுதே ஸ்வாசம்
உடல் நீங்கி போகுதே நெஞ்சம்
வெறும் யாக்கை ஆனதே
என் வாழ்க்கை இங்கே
வாழ்க்கை இங்கே
Vision leaves my eyes
Breath leaves my windpipe
Heart leaves my body
My life here has become a mere empty shell
My life here
Life here
எனதுயிர் எங்கே
எனதுயிர் எங்கே
விழி விழிநீர் வழிகின்றேன்
தொலைகின்றேனடி
Where is my soul longing for?
Where is my soul?
I flow down as tears through my eyes
I am getting lost, my dear
எனதுயிர் எங்கே
எனதுயிர் எங்கே
கனவென நானும் உடைகின்றேன்
கரைகின்றேனடி
Where is my soul?
Where is my soul?
I shatter like a dream
I am dissolving, my dear
தொலைவில் தொலைந்தாயோ
எனக்காய் அழுதாயோ
உன் கண்ணீர் தடங்கல்
வெறும் கற்கள் ஆகுதே
Did you get lost in the distance?
Did you weep for me?
The traces of your tears
Are turning into mere stones
எதிரே உதிப்பாயோ
உன்னை கடந்தே நடந்தேனோ
என் தேடல்கள் யாவுமே
பொய்யாகுதே
நீ ஏன் நீங்கினாய்
ஏன் நீங்கினாய்
Will you rise before me?
Did I walk right past you?
All of my searches
Are turning out to be false
Why did you depart?
Why did you depart?
எனதுயிர் எங்கே
எனதுயிர் எங்கே
ஒரு வழி காட்டு உயிர் ஊட்டு
கரைகின்றேனடி
எனதுயிர் எங்கே
You stood like a piece of magic
You said that old love had returned
You disappeared like an illusion
Turning into a mere wound, I wither away right here
Where is my soul?
Where is my soul?
Show me a way and revive my life
I am dissolving, my dear
Where is my soul?
Vizhi neengi poguthe kaatchi
Vision leaves my eyes
Kuzhal neengi poguthe swasam
Breath leaves my windpipe
Udal neengi poguthe nenjam
Heart leaves my body
Verum yaakai aanathe
My life here has become a mere empty shell
En vaazhkai inge
My life here
Vaazhkai inge

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poignant track expresses deep grief, emotional numbness, and the agony of separation from a beloved. The protagonist feels as though his physical senses and soul are leaving his body, reducing him to an empty shell. He feels lost, dissolving in tears, and questioning whether his love was real or merely an illusion. The song depicts an intense existential crisis where he searches desperately for his lost love and soul.
