……………………
Her face as a lover
The joy that comes from looking at it
Admiring beautiful flowers
It feels just like that
Mesmerizing with beauty
For every flower that charms you
Piercing the heart
There will be a hidden thorn
காதலி அவ முகம்
பார்ப்பதில் வரும் சுகம்
பூக்களை ரசிப்பது
போல் இருக்கும்
அழகா மயக்குற
அத்தனை பூவுக்கும்
இதயத்த குத்துற
முள் இருக்கும்
Let what is gone be gone
Let the wounds heal as well
Fight on, a brand new
Life lies ahead
Let the pain fade away
Let worries settle down
An angel, just for you
Will be waiting
போனது போகட்டும்
காயமும் ஆறட்டும்
பொறுடா புதுசா
வாழ்விருக்கும்
வேதனை மாறட்டும்
கவலைகள் பாடட்டும்
தேவதை உனக்கென
காத்திருக்கும்
Oh peacock that went missing
I am left here alone
I am singing because of you, oh cuckoo bird
Oh ruined heart of mine
Oh pitiful pain
It cannot be tolerated
காண போன மயிலே
நானும் தனியே
உன்னால் பாடறேன் குயிலே
பாழா போன மனமே
பாவம் வலியே
அது தாங்காதே
Because she left me
Pain cannot be avoided, cannot be avoided
Do not blindfold your eyes with love
And wander around aimlessly
From now on, because of sorrow
Do not stand still, do not freeze up
No matter what happens, the dark night must give way to dawn
அவ போனதாலே
வலி தப்பதே தப்பாதே
காதலாலா கண்ண
கட்டி சுத்தாதே
இனி சோகத்தால
நீயும் நிக்காதே நிக்காதே
என்னானாலும் இரவு விடியனுமே
I am singing a sad song, feeling the heartbreak
Lend me an ear and listen, my friend
The girl who was my entire life has disappeared
Take a strong drink and dance, my friend
மாமன் பாடுறேன் பீலிங் பாட்ட
காதை காட்டி நீ கேலு மச்சான்
லைப்பா இருந்துவ காணம போக
டைட்-ஆ போட்டு நீ ஆடு மச்சான்
I don't want her, I don't want her
Since she abandoned me, I don't want her anymore
It's unbearable, it's unbearable
This pain of love is unbearable
வேணாமே அவ வேணாமே
விட்டு போனாலே அவ வேணாமே
தாங்காதே அட தாங்காதே
இந்த காதலின் வேதனை தாங்காதே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This track is a classic 'soup' song (a popular Tamil genre of upbeat breakup songs) expressing the raw pain and angst of heartbreak after a beloved partner leaves. The protagonist vents his frustration to his friend, encouraging him to drink and dance to shake off the unbearable ache of lost love. Despite the grief and feeling of betrayal, the lyrics shift toward hopeful resilience in the middle verses. It uses nature metaphors—reminding that every beautiful flower comes with sharp thorns—and urges the heart to heal. It delivers a motivational message that darkness is temporary, encouraging the listener not to get paralyzed by heartbreak because a new dawn and a new life await.
