எங்க சொல்லி கேட்பதிந்த
சொந்த கதைய
நாம எப்படித்தான் தீர்ப்பதிந்த
இந்த பந்த கதைய
Where can one go and tell this
personal story?
How are we going to resolve
this story of relationships?
எங்க சொல்லி கேட்பதிந்த
சொந்த கதைய
நாம எப்படித்தான் தீர்ப்பதிந்த
இந்த பந்த கதைய
Where can one go and tell this
personal story?
How are we going to resolve
this story of relationships?
வாழ்வுக்கு ஒரு பாதை வச்சு
பாதைக்கு ஒரு வீதியும் வச்சான்
பாதை வழி தவறியதால்
ஊரும் வல்லையே
பேதை அவள் பழி சுமக்க
நியாயம் இல்லையே
He set a path for life
and laid out a street for that path.
Because the correct path was lost along the way,
the village did not welcome us.
For that innocent girl to bear the blame,
there is no justice at all.
துன்பநிலை மாறிடுமா
இன்பம் வந்து சேர்ந்திடுமா
துன்பநிலை மாறிடுமா
இன்பம் வந்து சேர்ந்திடுமா
விடியலை காண மனம் தவிக்குது
விடுகதையாக நிலை இருக்குது
விடுகதையாக நிலை இருக்குது
Will this painful state ever change?
Will happiness ever come and reach us?
Will this painful state ever change?
Will happiness ever come and reach us?
The heart yearns to behold a new dawn,
yet our life's situation remains a riddle.
Yet our life's situation remains a riddle.
