உனக்கென்னடி
உனக்கென்னடி என்
உயிர்தான் தடுமாறுதே
இனி என்னடி இனி என்னடி
கேள்விகள் ஆயிரம் சூழுதே
What happened to you, my girl? What happened to you?
My very soul is staggering.
What now, my girl? What now?
A thousand questions surround me.
முன்னில்லா ஏதோ
ஒன்று என்னை தாக்கும்
இந்நேரம் ஏதேதோ ஆனதே
என் காதல் போனதே நேற்றிந்த
சோகம் இல்லை இன்று என்ன
ஆனதென்று சொல்லு
Something that never happened before
Strikes me at this moment.
Everything turned into something unexpected.
My love is gone.
This sorrow was not there yesterday.
Tell me what happened today.
இதுவரை நான்
இதுபோல் இல்லை இனி
என்ன நான் செய்வேன்
என்னை தினம் சிரித்தாய்
நிஜமா இல்லை என்னை
உடைத்தாய் நிம்மதி இல்லை
Until now I have never been like this.
Now what will I do with myself?
You smiled every day, was it real? No.
You broke me, there is no peace.
யார் என்ன
செய்தார் உன்னை
பொய் சொல்லி
வென்றாய் என்னை
நீ நீ நீ நீ
Who did what to you?
You won over me by telling lies.
You you you you...
முழுவதுமாய்
உன்னை நினைத்தேன்
என்னை மறந்தாய் உயிர்
துடித்தேன்
Completely
I thought of you
You forgot me
My soul writhed in pain
ஓ ஹோ ஹோ
Ohh..hooo..hooooo....
விதி அறியாமலே
விழிகளில் விழுந்த நான்
உன் சதி தாளாமலே
நாளெல்லாம் உடைகிறேன்
Without knowing destiny
I, who fell into your eyes
Unable to escape your trap
I am breaking all day long
திசை தெரியாமலே
வழிகளை தொலைத்த
நான் மனம் ஆறாமலே
என்னுள்ளே தவிக்கிறேன்
Without knowing the direction
I, who lost the paths
Without my heart healing
I struggle within myself
போதும் பொய்கள்
போதும் போதும் வஞ்சம்
போதும் போதும் வாழ்க்கை
போதும் போ போ நீ போ
Enough lies, enough
Enough malice, enough
Enough of this life, enough
Go, go, you go
முழுவதுமாய்
உன்னை நினைத்தேன்
என்னை மறந்தாய் உயிர்
துடித்தேன்
Completely
I thought of you
You forgot me
My soul writhed in pain
நீ இல்லாமலே
எதுவரை செல்வது
உன்னை எண்ணாமலே
எப்படி வாழ்வது
Without you
How far can I go?
Without thinking of you
How can I live?
விழி சேராமலே
விலகியா போவது என்
விரல் கோர்க்காமலே
தள்ளியா நிற்பது
Without eyes meeting
Are you moving away?
Without clasping my fingers
Are you standing at a distance?
ஏனோ வானம்
மறைய ஏனோ தாகம்
நிறைய மழையாய்
என்னை சேர வா வா
நீ வா
Why is the sky disappearing?
Why is thirst overflowing?
To join me as rain
Come, come, you come
முழுவதுமாய்
உன்னை நினைத்தேன்
என்னை மறந்தாய் உயிர்
துடித்தேன்
Completely
I thought of you
You forgot me
My soul writhed in pain
Unakennadi unakennadi
What happened to you, my girl? What happened to you?
En uyirthaan thadumaaruthae
My very soul is staggering.
Ini ennadi ini ennadi
What now, my girl? What now?
Kelvigal aayiram soozhuthae
A thousand questions surround me.
Munnillaa yedho ondru
Something that never happened before
Ennai thaakkum inneram
Strikes me at this moment.
Yethotho aanathae
Everything turned into something unexpected.
En kaadhal ponathae
My love is gone.
Netrintha sogam illai
This sorrow was not there yesterday.
Indru enna aanathendru sollu
Tell me what happened today.
Ithuvarai naan idhupol illai
Until now I have never been like this.
Ini yenna naan seiven ennai
Now what will I do with myself?
Dhinam sirithaai nijamaa illai
You smiled every day, was it real? No.
Ennai udaithaai nimmathi illai
You broke me, there is no peace.
Yaar yenna seithaar unnai
Who did what to you?
Poi solli vendraai ennai
You won over me by telling lies.
Nee nee nee nee..ee…
You you you you...

Uyir thudithen
My soul writhed in pain

Ohh..hooo..hooooo....
Vithi ariyaamalae

I, who fell into your eyes
Un sathi thalaamalae
Unable to escape your trap

Thisai theriyaamalae
Without knowing the direction
Vazhigalai tholaitha naan
I, who lost the paths
Manam aaraamalae
Without my heart healing

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses the deep agony, heartbreak, and emotional distress of a lover feeling betrayed by their partner. The protagonist questions what went wrong in their relationship as memories of fondness turn into painful deceit. Struggling with existential disorientation, the narrator reflects on how devotion was met with neglect, longing for reconciliation while simultaneously wrestling with the overwhelming pain of betrayal.

Poetic device
“Podhum poigal podhum”
Repetition of the word 'Podhum' (enough) creates rhythmic emphasis on total exhaustion and heartbreak.

“Vithi ariyaamalae”
