ஏன்டி சூடாமணி
காதல் வலிய பார்த்ததுண்டோடி
கண்ணால் கண்ணீர் துளி எந்த
நாளும் வார்த்ததுண்டோடி
Hey girl, Soodaamani,
Have you ever experienced the pain of love?
Tear drops from the eyes,
Have you ever shed them on any day?
பொண்ணுனா
ஆண் உலகம் கவிதை
என்கிறது கவிதை தான்
கை வாளா ஆள
கொல்லுறது
When it comes to women, a man's world...
...calls them poetry.
But that poetry becomes a sword in hand,
...that kills a person!
ஏன்டி சூடாமணி
காதல் வலிய பார்த்ததுண்டோடி
பார்த்ததுண்டோடி கண்ணால்
கண்ணீர் துளி எந்த நாளும்
வார்த்ததுண்டோடி
Hey girl, Soodaamani,
Have you ever experienced the pain of love?
Have you ever seen it?
Tear drops from the eyes,
Have you ever shed them on any day?
பொண்ணுனா
ஆண் உலகம் கவிதை
என்கிறது கவிதை தான்
கை வாளா ஆள
கொல்லுறது
When it comes to women, a man's world...
...calls them poetry.
But that poetry becomes a sword in hand,
...that kills a person!
ஏன்டி சூடாமணி
காதல் வலிய
பார்த்ததுண்டோடி
Hey girl, Soodaamani,
Have you ever experienced the pain of love?
உன் மேல காதல்
வச்சு உயிர் உனக்கு
சொன்னான் அம்மா நீ
ஏய்ச்சும் கூட அத
பொறுத்து நின்னான்
Falling in love with you,
He declared that his life belonged to you.
Even when you deceived him, woman,
He endured it patiently.
உன் மேல
குத்தம் ஏதும் விழாம
செஞ்சான் உள் மனசு
வெள்ளம் போல
கண்ணீர விட்டான்
Making sure no blame fell on you,
He protected your name.
Like a flood inside his heart,
He shed tears.
கை அணைச்சு
கையை கழுவ வந்தாயோ
பெண்ணே கால காலம்
ஆணின் பாவம் வாராதோ
பின்னே
Did you come just to embrace and then wash your hands off him, woman?
Did you come, girl?
Over time, won't the curse of a man's suffering...
...come back to haunt you later?
ஏன்டி சூடாமணி
Hey girl, Soodaamani,

Hey girl, Soodaamani,
Have you ever experienced the pain of love?
ஏன்டி சூடாமணி
Hey girl, Soodaamani,
விட்டத மீண்டும்
பெற விரும்பிடுதோ
நெஞ்சம் தொட்டத
மீண்டும் தொட்டு
தொண்டங்கிறதோ
எண்ணம்
To reclaim what was lost,
Does the heart desire it again?
To touch once again what was touched before,
Is that thought beginning anew?
பொத்தி பொத்தி
வச்சா கூட பொல்லாது
காதல் எந்த நேரம் என்ன
செய்யும் சொல்லாது
காதல் யம்மா
Even if you carefully conceal and guard it,
Love is cruel and unpredictable.
What it will do and at what moment,
Love will never tell... Oh my!
கத்தி கூட காதல்
போல கொல்லாது
பெண்ணே காயம் பட்ட
பின்னால் ஞானம்
உண்டாச்சோ கண்ணே
Even a knife cannot kill...
...the way love does, O girl!
After suffering wounds, has wisdom...
...finally dawned on you, my dear?
ஏன்டி சூடாமணி
காதல் வலிய

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Yendi Soodaamani' expresses the deep anguish, disillusionment, and heartbreak caused by romantic betrayal. The speaker addresses 'Soodaamani', questioning if she has ever truly felt the agony of love or shed tears over heartbreak. The lyrics highlight the irony of men romanticizing women as gentle poetry, only for that love to cut as sharply as a lethal blade. The song details how a devoted lover endured deceit, protected his partner's dignity, and wept in secret. It warns of the karmic consequences of breaking a heart, emphasizing that love is far more dangerous and unpredictable than a weapon, and true wisdom often comes only after experiencing profound emotional injury.
