Kaadhal vanthum sollaamal
Nenjukullae yengum ennai kollaadhae
Sollaamal sellaadhae
Kaadhal vanthum sollaamal
Nenjukullae yengum ennai kollvaayo
Un kaadhal solvaayo
Idhayathilae oru vali imaigalilae pala thuli
Nee sendral kuda kaadhal sugamaagum
Nee pirinthaal uzhagam urugum mezhukagum
Vaarthai ondrilae vaazhkai thanthidu
Boomi panthayae oru sollil suthidu
Vithiyin kaigaloo vaanam pondrathu
Puriyum munnamae manam sambal aaguthu
Nenaivu edari mannil vizhugiradhae
Nizhalil karainthu athu sagaatha
Kaadhal kathari ingu azhugiradhae
Irandu kannum athil karugaatha
Yenthaan kaadhal valarthen
Adhai yeno ennul puthaithen
Sudar illaatha theeyil erigindren
Sudam kanneeril kaditham varaigindren
Pennae un paathaiyil nagarum maram aaguven
Ohoo iravai thindru vaazhnthaai neeyadi
Oh oo idhayam kondu ponaal ennadi

Nee sendral kuda kaadhal sugamaagum
Nee pirinthaal uzhagam urugum mezhukagum

Puriyum munnamae manam sambal aaguthu
Even after love has arrived, without saying a word,
Don't kill me as I yearn deep within my heart.
Don't walk away without telling me.
Even after love has arrived, without saying a word,
Will you kill me as I yearn deep within my heart?
Will you speak your love to me?
There is an ache in my heart and many tears on my eyelashes.
If you walk by my side, love becomes sweet joy.
If you leave me, the world will melt like wax.
Give me life with just a single word.
Spin this whole earth with that one word.
The hands of fate are vast like the sky.
Before I can even understand, my heart turns to ash.
Memories stumble and fall to the ground.
Won't they dissolve into the shadows and die?
Love is crying out in agony right here.
Won't both my eyes burn away in this grief?
Why did I ever let this love grow?
Why did I bury it deep inside myself?
I am burning in a fire with no flame.
I am writing a letter with burning tears.
Girl, I will become a moving tree to shade your path.
Oh, you lived devouring the lonely nights, my girl.
Oh, what if you take my heart away with you?
Even after love has arrived, without saying a word,
Will you kill me as I yearn deep within my heart?
Will you speak your love to me?
Even after love has arrived, without saying a word,
Don't kill me as I yearn deep within my heart.
Don't walk away without telling me.
Oh, even after love has arrived, without saying a word,
Will you kill me as I yearn deep within my heart?
Will you speak your love to me?
There is an ache in my heart and many tears on my eyelashes.
If you walk by my side, love becomes sweet joy.
If you leave me, the world will melt like wax.
Give me life with just a single word.
Spin this whole earth with that one word.
The hands of fate are vast like the sky.
Before I can even understand, my heart turns to ash.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song portrays the intense emotional anguish caused by unexpressed love and silent yearning. The lover pleads with their partner not to suppress their feelings, as silence causes immense pain equivalent to a slow death. A single word of acceptance is painted as powerful enough to grant new life and spin the entire world. Through vivid imagery of tear-filled eyes, melting wax, and flameless fires, the lyrics convey the devastating helplessness felt when destiny interferes with love and thoughts burn the soul before they can be understood.
