I, your bro, am singing a song of heartbreak,
Lend your ear and listen, my friend!
Since the girl who was your life has vanished,
Pour a stiff drink and dance, my friend!
You don't need her, you don't need her,
She walked away, you don't need her anymore.
It is unbearable, unbearable,
This agony of love is unbearable.
I, your bro, am singing a song of heartbreak,
Lend your ear and listen, my friend!
Since the girl who was your life has vanished,
Pour a stiff drink and dance, my friend!
The face of the girl you love,
The joy of looking at it,
Is just like enjoying
The beauty of flowers.
Yet every flower that charms you
With its beauty
Also carries a thorn
That pierces your heart.
Let what is gone be gone,
Let the wounds heal,
Look ahead, my friend,
A brand new life is waiting.
Let the pain fade away,
Let the worries drift off,
An angel meant just for you
Is waiting out there.
O peacock who has vanished,
I am left all alone,
I sing because of you, my cuckoo,
O ruined heart of mine,
Pity this suffering,
It cannot bear it anymore.
Because she walked away,
This pain cannot be avoided.
Don't let love blindfold you
And spin you around in circles,
Don't just stand frozen
In sorrow anymore.
No matter what happens, the night must break into dawn.
I, your bro, am singing a song of heartbreak,
Lend your ear and listen, my friend!
Since the girl who was your life has vanished,
Pour a stiff drink and dance, my friend!
You don't need her, you don't need her,
She walked away, you don't need her anymore.
It is unbearable, unbearable,
This agony of love is unbearable.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

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.
