{இதுதானா விதிதானா
வினை தன்னை விதைத்தானா
விடை இங்கே யார்
தான் சொல்லுவார்} (2)
Is this fate, is this destiny?
Did fate sow itself here?
Who will give the answer here?
{விழியில் கண்ணீர் துளிகள்
வழியில் கானல் அலைகள்} (2)
Tears in my eyes,
Mirage waves on my path.
இதுதானா விதிதானா

விடை இங்கே யார்
தான் சொல்லுவார்
Is this fate, is this destiny?
Did fate sow itself here?
Who will give the answer here?
கண்ணம்மா கண்ணம்மா
காலம் எண்ணை கட்டி வைத்து
என்னுயிரை திருடி சென்றதே
கண்ணாடி கண்ணாடி
கூண்டுக்குள்ள யாரோ வந்து
கல் வீசி உடைந்து போனதே
Kannamma, my beloved Kannamma,
Time bound me up tight,
And stole my life away.
Like glass, fragile glass,
Someone entered the cage,
Threw a stone and shattered it.
உறவே சுகம் துன்ப வாழ்க்கை
துறவே இது எந்தன் வேட்கை
விதியா சதியா
என் காதல் கொன்றது
Relationship brings pleasure, life brings sorrow,
Renunciation is now my longing.
Is it fate, or is it a conspiracy?
That has killed my love.
ஆத்தாடி ஆத்தாடி என்னுறவு
நீயும் என்றே
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே எழுதி வைத்தேனே
என் உயிரே என் உயிரே
வார்த்தை என்னும் வாள் எடுத்து
வாழ்க்கையை நீ வெட்டி சென்றாயே
Oh dear, oh dear, our bond,
Beloved, that you are mine,
I had etched inside my heart.
My life, my life,
Wielding words like a sword,
You slashed through my life and left.
அழகே
ஏன் அதை சிதைத்தாய்
அனலை ஏன் பின்னே விதைத்தாய்
விதியோ சதியோ
என் வாழ்வை கொன்றது
Oh beauty, why did you destroy it?
Why did you sow embers of fire behind me?
Is it fate, or a cruel conspiracy?
It has murdered my life.
{இதுதானா விதிதானா

Mirage waves on my path.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Idhuthaana Vidhithaana' from the movie 'Eghantham' (2018), penned by Yuga Bharathi, expresses the deep anguish and sorrow of a heart broken by betrayal and fate. The protagonist questions whether his unbearable suffering is a result of cruel destiny or a deliberate act of betrayal by his beloved. He compares his fragile heart to glass broken by a thrown stone and his life to something slashed apart by sharp words. Throughout the track, the lyrics shift between longing for love and a desire for detachment (thuravu) to escape the relentless pain. Metaphors like tears in the eyes mirroring mirages on a path highlight the hopelessness and illusion of his lost happiness, creating a haunting melancholic mood.
