எங்க போன
நீ எங்க போன
நான் எட்டுத்திக்கும் உன்ன தேடி ஓடுறேன்
உன்ன காண
நான் உன்ன காண
நூல் அத்து விட்ட பட்டம் போல ஆடுறேன்
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
I am running in all eight directions searching for you.
Unable to see you,
Unable to see you,
I am drifting like a kite whose string has snapped.
காலமெல்லாம் என் உசுரா
நீ இருந்தா சோகம் இல்ல
கனேதிர நீ தெரிஞ்சா
வேற ஒன்னும் தேவை இல்ல
If you remain as my life forever,
There is no sorrow.
If you appear before my eyes,
Nothing else is needed... aaa...
எங்க போன

நான் எட்டுத்திக்கும் உன்ன தேடி ஓடுறேன்

I am running in all eight directions searching for you.
Unable to see you,

I am drifting like a kite whose string has snapped.

சொன்னா சொல்லும் நீதான்
என் சொந்தம் பந்தம் நீ தான்
நீ இல்லையென்னா
என்ன தீயில் போடுவேன்
You are the word I gave,
You are my entire family and bond.
If you are not here,
I will throw myself into the fire.

: எட்டு பட்டி சூழ
நான் கட்டி வச்ச மால
என் கைய விட்டு
போனதென்ன சூழ்நில
Surrounded by all eight villages,
The garland I wove with love,
Leaving my hands,
What kind of circumstance made it go away?
காணாம நீ மறைய
கண்ணீரில் நான் கரைய
வேணாமே இந்த வாழ்க்கை
As you disappear out of sight,
As I dissolve in my own tears,
I do not want this life anymore.
எங்க போன
நீ எங்க போன
நான் எட்டுத்திக்கும் உன்ன தேடி ஓடுறேன்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This melancholic song portrays the deep pain and anguish of a lover searching desperate for their missing partner. The protagonist feels completely lost and aimless, comparing themselves to a kite severed from its string, drifting without purpose or control.
