காதல் யாரையும்
காயம் செய்வது இல்லை
எல்லாம் என் தவறு தானே
Love does not cause hurt
To anyone.
Is it all my mistake?
காதல் யாருக்கும்
கண்ணீர் தருவது இல்லை
எல்லாம் அட என் கனவு
தானே
Love does not give tears
To anyone.
Oh, was it all just my dream?
என் கண்கள் இல்லாது
இருந்தால் உன்னை அது காட்டாது
இருந்தால் நான் இன்று நானா
இருப்பேன் இல்லையா இல்லையா
If my eyes did not exist,
If they hadn't shown you to me,
Would I be who I am today?
Or not? Or not?
நான் பெண்ணாய்
பிறக்காது இருந்தால் இது
எல்லாம் நடந்தா இருக்கும்
யாரு என்ன சொன்னாலும்
உன் மேலே கோவம் இல்லை
இல்லை இல்லை இல்லை
இல்லை
If I had not
Been born as a woman,
Would all this have happened?
No matter what anyone says,
I am not angry at you.
No... no... eeee
No...
No...
என்னோடு உன்னை
விட்டு நீயும் தான் தூரம்
சென்றாய் சரியா தவறா
சரி தவறா தவறா சரியா
Leaving yourself with me,
You too went far away.
Is it right or wrong?
Right or wrong?
Wrong or right?
கண்ணீரில் கரைந்தே
போகும் நான் கண்ட கனவுகள்
எல்லாம் சரியா தவறா சரி
தவறா தவறா சரியா
Dissolving away in tears,
Are all the dreams I dreamt.
Is it right or wrong?
Right or wrong?
Wrong or right?
காதல் யாருக்கும்
காயம் செய்வது இல்லை
என்றால் மனதில் வலிகள்
ஏனோ
Love does not cause hurt
To anyone;
If so, why is there pain in my heart?
உன் விரலை சேராது
இருந்தால் உன் நினைவில்
வாழாது இருந்தால் என் காதல்
அழிந்தா இருக்கும் கேட்கிறேன்
உன்னையே
If I hadn't joined your fingers,
If I hadn't lived in your memory,
Would my love have been destroyed?
I am asking you this.
ஆண் & பெண் :
தூரம் தான்
ஆனால் கூட வானம் தான்
வேண்டும் என்று மேகம்
தான் அழுதாலும் யார் மீது
தவறாகும் ஆகும்
(Vocalizing) Haa..ohooo..
(Vocalizing) Haa…mmm…haa…..
ஹா ஓஹோ
ஹா ம்ம்ம் ஹா
Love does not cause hurt
To anyone.
Oh, isn't it all my mistake?
காதல் யாரையும்
காயம் செய்வது இல்லை
எல்லாம் என் தவறு தானே
Love does not give tears
To anyone.
Oh, isn't it all just my dream?
காதல் யாருக்கும்
கண்ணீர் தருவது இல்லை
எல்லாம் அட என் கனவு
தானே
Ohoo…uuu…aaa…

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This emotional song explores the quiet suffering and deep self-reflection that follows heartbreak. The protagonist ponders the fundamental nature of love, reasoning that love itself is pure and not meant to inflict pain or tears. Consequently, she turns inward, questioning whether the fault lies in her own choices, her dreams, or even her destiny.
