என்னை கொள்ளாதே
தள்ளி போகாதே நெஞ்சை
கிள்ளாதே கண்மணி
Don't kill me
Don't go far away
Don't pinch my heart
My darling..
சொன்ன என்
சொல்லில் இல்லை
உண்மைகள் ஏனோ
கோபங்கள் சொல்லடி
In the words I spoke
There was no truth
Why this anger?
Tell me, girl..
உன்னை
தீண்டாமல் உன்னை
பார்க்காமல் கொஞ்சி
பேசாமல் கண்ணில்
தூக்கமில்லை
Without touching you
Without seeing you
Without talking affectionately
There is no sleep in my eyes
என்னுள் நீ
வந்தாய் நெஞ்சில்
வாழ்கின்றாய் விட்டு
செல்லாதே இது
நியாயமில்லை
You came inside me
You live in my heart
Don't leave and go away
This is not fair..
...................................
{Ahaaa…aaahaaa…aahaaa…
Ahaaaa…aaaaaa..} (2)
கண்ணை மூடி
கொண்டாலும் உன்னை
கண்டேன் மீண்டும் ஏன்
இந்த ஏக்கம்
Even when I close my eyes
I saw you
Why this yearning again?
வெள்ளை மேக
துண்டுக்குள் எழும் மின்னல்
போல் எந்தன் வாழ்வெங்கும்
மின்னல்
Like a flash of lightning rising
From within a piece of white cloud
Lightning flashes across my whole life..
என் இதழ்
மேல் இன்று வாழும்
மௌனங்கள் என் மனம்
பேசுதே நூறு எண்ணங்கள்
Upon my lips today
The silences that live
My mind speaks
A hundred thoughts
சொன்ன
சொல்லின் அர்த்தங்கள்
என்னுள் வாழுதே தூரம்
தள்ளி சென்றாலும் உயிர்
தேடுதே
The meanings of spoken words
Live within me
Even if you move far away
My soul searches for you..
ஆசை வார்த்தை
எல்லாமே இன்று கீறலாய்
எந்தன் நெஞ்சின் ஓரத்தில்
பாய செய்கிறாய்
All the sweet words of desire
Have turned into scratches today
At the corner of my heart
You make pain flow..
என்னுள் நீ
வந்தாய் இன்னும்
வாழ்கின்றாய் உந்தன்
சொல்லாலே தூரம்
உண்டாக்கினாய்
You came inside me
You still live within me
With your words
You created distance
என்னை
தீண்டாதே என்னை
பார்க்காதே ஒன்றும்
பேசாதே போதும் துன்பங்கள்
Don't touch me
Don't look at me
Don't say anything
Enough of these sorrows..

என்னை விட்டு
செல்லாதே எந்தன்
அன்பே வேண்டும் உன்
காதல் ஒன்றே
Don't leave me and go
My love
I need your love
Alone…
உன்னை மட்டும்
நேசித்தேன் இது உண்மை
இன்னும் ஏன் இந்த ஊடல்
I loved only you
This is the truth
Why this lovers' quarrel still..
என் உயிர்
காதலை உந்தன்
காதோரம் ஒரு
முறையாவது
சொல்ல நீ வேண்டும்
My soul's love
Beside your ear
To say it at least once
I need you
எந்தன் ஆசை
முத்தங்கள் உன்னை
சேருமோ இல்லை காதல்
யுத்தங்கள் இன்னும் நீளுமோ
Will my kisses of desire
Reach you?
Or will these love wars
Extend even longer?..
உந்தன் கண்ணில்
நீ சிந்தும் ஈரம் ஏனடி நெஞ்சில்
பாரம் வேண்டாமே என்னை பாரடி
The moisture you shed from your eyes
Why is it there, my girl?
Don't carry a burden in your heart
Look at me, my girl..
என்னை கொள்ளாதே
தள்ளி போகாதே நெஞ்சை
கிள்ளாதே கண்மணி
Don't kill me
Don't go far away
Don't pinch my heart
My darling..
சொன்ன என்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Ennai Kollathey' is a poignant romantic track from the Malaysian Tamil film Geethaiyin Raadhai. The song explores the emotional turmoil and pain of a lovers' quarrel (oodal), where misunderstanding creates temporary distance between the couple. The protagonist pleads with his beloved not to walk away or hurt him, confessing that any harsh words spoken previously were untruthful and born out of temporary anger.

“Vellai mega thundukkul / Ezhum minnal pol”
Compares the sudden arrival of love and feelings to a sudden flash of lightning emerging from a white cloud.
