ஹ்ம்ம் இதுவரை
இல்லாத உணர்விது
இதயத்தை துண்டாகும்
நினைவிது மனதினை
மண்ணோடு புதைத்திடும்
பெண்ணை நம்பாதே
Hmmmm... until now,
This is a feeling that never existed.
This is a memory that breaks the heart into pieces.
The mind into the earth,
Do not trust a woman who buries it.
காதல் என்றால்
அத்தனையும் கனவு கண்
மூடியே வாழ்கின்ற உறவு
பெண்கள் என்றால் ஆணை
கொள்ளும் நோய்யானதே
If this is love,
All of it is merely a dream.
With eyes closed,
It is a relationship lived in delusion.
When it comes to women,
They are a disease that kills a man.
ஐயோ இந்த
இளமையின் தொடக்கம்
இன்றே முற்று புள்ளி
அதை சொல்லாமல்
சொல்லி நம்மை பைத்தியம்
ஆக்கும் பெண்ணை தேடி
தொலையாதே
Alas, this
Beginning of youth
Reaches a full stop today itself.
Expressing it without speaking,
Making us go insane,
Do not lose yourself searching for a woman...
Hmmmm…idhuvarai
Hmmmm... until now,
Illaatha unarvidhu
This is a feeling that never existed.
Idhayathai thundaakkum ninaividhu
This is a memory that breaks the heart into pieces.
Manadhinai mannodu
The mind into the earth,
Pudhaithidum pennai nambaathae
Do not trust a woman who buries it.
Kaadhal endraal
If this is love,
Athanaiyum kanavu
All of it is merely a dream.
Kann moodiyae
With eyes closed,
Vaazhgindra uravu
It is a relationship lived in delusion.
Pengal endraal
When it comes to women,
Aanai kollum noiyaanathae
They are a disease that kills a man.
Aiyyo intha
Alas, this
Ilamaiyin thodakkam
Beginning of youth
Indrae muttrupulli
Reaches a full stop today itself.
Adhai sollaamal solli
Expressing it without speaking,
Nammai paiththiyam aakkum
Making us go insane,
Pennai thedi tholaiyaathae…
Do not lose yourself searching for a woman...
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This melancholy verse expresses deep anguish caused by heartbreaks and warns men against falling into the trap of love. The speaker describes an unbearable pain—a feeling never experienced before—that tears the heart apart and buries the mind in sorrow. Love is depicted as an illusion lived blindly, and women are metaphorically termed a fatal disease that destroys men.

Trivia
While the movie 'Goa' (2010) features the widely popular romantic duet 'Idhu Varai' composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja and written by Gangai Amaran, this specific stanza serves as a tragic male variation/refrain expressing heartbreak and betrayal.
