கா.....தல் பெயில்லா போச்சுடா
லைப்பே பெய்ன்னா ஆச்சுடா
Love has failed, man!
Life has turned into pain, man!
ஹே தாங்காம தூங்காம
நான் பாடும் பாட்ட கேளு
தனி ஆளா தவிச்சாலும்
இதுவே மேலு
என் பேச்ச கேளு
Hey, unable to bear it and unable to sleep,
Listen to the song I sing.
Even if you suffer all alone,
This is better.
Listen to my advice.
லவ்வுன்னா ஓடு
இது பூர்வ ஜென்ம பாவத்தின் சாப கேடு
உன் ஹார்ட்ட மூடு
If it is love, run away!
This is a curse resulting from sins of a past life.
Close your heart.
ஹே.....
எடுடா சரக்க
அவள மறக்க
சிறக விரிச்சு
ஒயரம் பறக்க
Hey...
Pour the drink, man,
To forget her,
Spread the wings,
And fly high up!
உயிரே உயிரே
எங்க மறைஞ்ச
புடிச்ச நிலவ
இருட்டில் தொலைச்சேன்
என் பாட்ட கேளு
Oh my soul, my soul,
Where did you hide?
The moon that I loved,
I lost in the darkness.
Listen to my song.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This track expresses the raw anguish and frustration of a heart-broken lover dealing with love failure. Describing his pain as a consequence of sins from a past life, he drowns his sorrow in alcohol while cautioning others to run away from love and protect their hearts from similar agony.
