| Kaathiruppen | I will be waiting |
| Unnai engum paarthiruppen | I will look for you everywhere |
| Idhu kangal nanaiyum paadal | This is a song that wets the eyes |
| En nenjin uravil thaedal | A search for connection in my heart |
| Illaadha vannam naana | Am I an invisible color? |
| Iraivaa un nyayam thaana … | Oh God, is this your justice? |
| Vidhiyaa… | Is it fate? |

கை வீசும் காற்றாய்
காத்திருப்பேன்
உன்னை எங்கும் பார்த்திருப்பேன்
இது கண்கள் நனையும் பாடல்
என் நெஞ்சின் உறவில் தேடல்
இல்லாத வண்ணம் நானா
இறைவா உன் நியாயம் தானா .....
விதியா......ஆஅ....அ......அ.....
Like a gently waving wind
I will be waiting
I will look for you everywhere
This is a song that wets the eyes
A search for connection in my heart
Am I an invisible color?
Oh God, is this your justice?
Is it fate?
கை வீசும் காற்றாய்
காத்திருப்பேன்
உன்னை எங்கும் பார்த்திருப்பேன்.
Like a gently waving wind
I will be waiting
I will look for you everywhere
பூமியிலே
மீண்டும் வந்து
புன்னகைக்க வாய்க்குமா....
On this earth
To return once again
Will I get a chance to smile?
நான் தொலைத்த
நாட்களெல்லாம்
மறுபடியும் மலருமா....
The days I lost,
Once again
Will they bloom?
எந்தன் உள்ளம் ஏங்குதே
தந்தை தாயை தேடுதே
வலிகள் கூடுதே
துள்ளி திரிந்த காலங்கள்
பள்ளி சென்ற நேரங்கள்
நெஞ்சம் கேட்குதே....ஏ.....
Like a gently waving wind
I will be waiting
I will look for you everywhere
கை வீசும் காற்றாய்
காத்திருப்பேன்
உன்னை எங்கும் பார்த்திருப்பேன்
I glow like a firefly
Whose eyes will witness it?
A colorless painting
Will the wind's finger search for it?
மின்மினி போல் மின்னுகிறேன்
யார் விழிகள் காணுமோ
வண்ணமில்லா ஓவியத்தை
காற்றின் விரல் தேடுமோ.....
The sorrow spoken is only a fraction
This heavy burden is enough
Silence alone will remain
I live like a star in the sky
I pass by watching the entrance
This solitude is enough
சொன்ன சோகம் கொஞ்சமே
இந்த பாரம் போதுமே
மௌனம் மிஞ்சுமே
வானில் மீனாய் வாழ்கிறேன்
வாசல் பார்த்து போகிறேன்
இந்த தனிமை போதுமே
Like a gently waving wind
I will be waiting
I will look for you everywhere
கை வீசும் காற்றாய்
காத்திருப்பேன்
உன்னை எங்கும் பார்த்திருப்பேன்
This is a song that wets the eyes
A search for connection in my heart
Am I an invisible color?
Oh God, is this your justice? Is it fate?
இது கண்கள் நனையும் பாடல்
என் நெஞ்சின் உறவில் தேடல்
இல்லாத வண்ணம் நானா
இறைவா உன் நியாயம் தானா.......
விதியா......ஆ.....அ....அ....
Kai veesum kaattraai

Unnai engum paarthiruppen
I will look for you everywhere
Idhu kangal nanaiyum paadal
This is a song that wets the eyes
En nenjin uravil thaedal
A search for connection in my heart
Illaadha vannam naana
Am I an invisible color?
Iraivaa un nyayam thaana …
Oh God, is this your justice?
Vidhiyaa…
Is it fate?
Kai veesum kaattraai
Like a gently waving wind
Kaathiruppen
I will be waiting
Unnai engum paarthiruppen
I will look for you everywhere
Boomiyilae

Whose eyes will witness it?
Vannamillaa oviyathai
A colorless painting
Kaatrin viral thedumo…..
Will the wind's finger search for it?
Sonna sogam konjamae
The sorrow spoken is only a fraction
Indha baaram podhumae
This heavy burden is enough
Mounam minjumae
Silence alone will remain
Vaanil meenaai vazhgiren
I live like a star in the sky
Vaasal paarthu pogiren
I pass by watching the entrance
Indha thanimai podhumae
This solitude is enough

Song interpretation
This poignant song expresses deep emotional pain, yearning, and spiritual questioning. The protagonist compares their presence to the wind, a firefly, or a star in the sky—unseen, distant, yet persistently watching and waiting. They lament lost days and wonder if joy will ever return to their life, questioning divine justice and fate for condemning them to such profound solitude and sorrow.
