| Thaenae kaanal nee | Oh sweet honey, you are a mirage |
| Nee yen therinthu marainthu ponaai | Why did you appear and then disappear? |
| Anbae kaadhal nee | Oh my love, you are affection itself |
| Nee yen kalainthu karainthu ponaai | Why did you dissolve and fade away? |

| Pala vaanavil theetiya pothum | Even after painting many rainbows |

| Pala vinmeen minniya naalum | Even though many stars shined brightly |
| Sila megangal soozhnthathu yen | Why did a few clouds surround them? |

தேனே கானல் நீ
நீ ஏன் தெரிந்து மறைந்து போனாய்
அன்பே காதல் நீ
நீ ஏன் களைந்து கரைந்து போனாய்
Oh sweet honey, you are a mirage
Why did you appear and then disappear?
Oh my love, you are affection itself
Why did you dissolve and fade away?
பல வானவில் தீட்டிய போதும்
சில வண்ணங்கள் தீர்ந்தது ஏன்
பல விண்மீன் மின்னிய நாளும்
சில மேகங்கள் சூழ்ந்தது ஏன்
Even after painting many rainbows
Why did a few colors run out?
Even though many stars shined brightly
Why did a few clouds surround them?
தேனே கானல் நீ
நீ ஏன் தெரிந்து மறைந்து போனாய்
அன்பே காதல் நீ
நீ ஏன் களைந்து கரைந்து போனாய்
Oh sweet honey, you are a mirage
Why did you appear and then disappear?
Oh my love, you are affection itself
Why did you dissolve and fade away?
Thaenae kaanal nee
Oh sweet honey, you are a mirage
Nee yen therinthu marainthu ponaai
Why did you appear and then disappear?
Anbae kaadhal nee
Oh my love, you are affection itself
Nee yen kalainthu karainthu ponaai
Why did you dissolve and fade away?
Pala vaanavil theetiya pothum
Even after painting many rainbows
Sila vannangal theernthathu yen
Why did a few colors run out?
Pala vinmeen minniya naalum
Even though many stars shined brightly
Sila megangal soozhnthathu yen
Why did a few clouds surround them?
Thaenae kaanal nee
Oh sweet honey, you are a mirage
Nee yen therinthu marainthu ponaai
Why did you appear and then disappear?
Anbae kaadhal nee
Oh my love, you are affection itself
Nee yen kalainthu karainthu ponaai
Why did you dissolve and fade away?
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses the poignant grief of heartbreak and illusion in a romantic relationship. The lyrics metaphorically address the beloved as sweet honey who ultimately turned out to be an unattainable mirage, evoking a sense of sudden loss and deep longing. Through poetic contrast—such as painting vibrant rainbows that inexplicably run out of colors and bright stars obscured by unexpected clouds—the speaker passionately questions why a beautiful connection dissolved into emptiness.
