| ……………… | Why did Kalidasa's poetic drama fall apart? |
| Male | |
| Kalidasanin kavithai naaagam | Why was it dissolved and lost? |
| Kalainthu ponathenna | Why did the dream palace of the goddess of love |
| Kadhal devathai kanavu maaligai | Crumble and fall into ruins? |
| Idinthu ponathenna | How long will the history of Shakuntala continue like this? |
| Male | |
| Sagunthalai sariththiram edhuvarai thodarnthidum | What sin did the full moon commit |
| Kadhal vaanilae vantha pournami | That appeared in the sky of love? |
| Seitha paavamenna | Is it rain in the eyes or a storm in the heart? |
| Vizhiyil mazhaiyaa manathil puyalaa | Is it fate that makes us dance and earn a living through performance all our life, tell me uncle? |
| Chorus | |
| Kaalam muzhukkavum aadi pozhaippathu | Did the dream of desire turn out to be a lie? |
| Vithiyaa sol mama | Hey, where will desire be fulfilled every day? |

| Aadi pizhaikka vendum | Hoiiiiiiiyaa... |
| Ho hoi….ho hoi….ho hoi….. | Fate casts its fishing hook from both sides, |
| Hoiiiiiiiyaa…. | A heart languishes like a thrashing fish caught in between. |
| Male | |
| Iru pakkam thoondil vidhi vanthu podum | If one looks at lust, there is no true love; |
| Thudikkindra meenaai oru nenjam vaadum | If one looks at love, there is no duty left. |
| Kaamaiyai paarththaal kadhalum illai | Which way will the struggling heart go? |
| Kadhalai paarththaal kadamaiyum illai | What decisions lie ahead? Time alone will tell. |
| Male | |
| Poraadum ullam yaarodu sellum | What sin did the full moon commit |
| Ennenna theerppo kaalangal sollum | That appeared in the sky of love? |
| Kadhal vaanilae vantha pournami | Is this the way, or is this destiny...? |
| Seitha paavamenna | As the hour approaches that makes the town tremble, |
| Edhuthaan vazhiyo idhuthaan vidhiyo… | The pot split into two, the broken pot broke even further, |
| Chorus | |
| Ooru nadungidum neram nerungaiyil | It became midnight, and so the rhythm changed, |
| Paanaiyum rendaachchu ottai paanai odainjaachu | Oho, it became midnight, and so the rhythm changed! |

Why did Kalidasa's poetic drama fall apart?
காளிதாசனின் கவிதை நாடகம்
கலைந்து போனதென்ன
காதல் தேவதை கனவு மாளிகை
இடிந்து போனதென்ன
Why was it dissolved and lost?
Why did the dream palace of the goddess of love
Crumble and fall into ruins?
How long will the history of Shakuntala continue like this?
சகுந்தலை சரித்திரம் எதுவரை தொடர்ந்திடும்
காதல் வானிலே வந்த பௌர்ணமி
செய்த பாவமென்ன
விழியில் மழையா மனதில் புயலா
What sin did the full moon commit
That appeared in the sky of love?
Is it rain in the eyes or a storm in the heart?
Is it fate that makes us dance and earn a living through performance all our life, tell me uncle?
காலம் முழுக்கவும் ஆடிப் பொழைப்பது
விதியா சொல் மாமா
ஆசை கனவே பொய்தானா
அடி ஆசை எங்கு தீரும் தெனம்
ஆடிப் பிழைக்க வேண்டும் ஓஹோ
ஆசை எங்கு தீரும் தெனம்
ஆடிப் பிழைக்க வேண்டும்....
ஹோ ஹோய்....ஹோ ஹோய்....ஹோ ஹோய்....
ஹோய்ய்ய்ய்யா.....
Did the dream of desire turn out to be a lie?
Hey, where will desire be fulfilled every day?
One must dance to make a living, oho!
Where will desire be fulfilled every day?
One must dance to make a living!
Ho hoi... ho hoi... ho hoi...
Hoiiiiiiiyaa...
Fate casts its fishing hook from both sides,
A heart languishes like a thrashing fish caught in between.
இரு பக்கம் தூண்டில் விதி வந்து போடும்
துடிக்கின்ற மீனாய் ஒரு நெஞ்சம் வாடும்
கடமையை பார்த்தால் காதலும் இல்லை
காதலைப் பார்த்தால் கடமையும் இல்லை
If one looks at lust, there is no true love;
If one looks at love, there is no duty left.
Which way will the struggling heart go?
What decisions lie ahead? Time alone will tell.
போராடும் உள்ளம் யாரோடு செல்லும்
என்னென்ன தீர்ப்போ காலங்கள் சொல்லும்
காதல் வானிலே வந்த பௌர்ணமி
செய்த பாவமென்ன
எதுதான் வழியோ இதுதான் விதியோ....
What sin did the full moon commit
That appeared in the sky of love?
Is this the way, or is this destiny...?
As the hour approaches that makes the town tremble,
The pot split into two, the broken pot broke even further,
ஊரு நடுங்கிடும் நேரம் நெருங்கையில்
பானையும் ரெண்டாச்சு ஓட்டை பானை ஒடைஞ்சாச்சு
நடு சாம நேரமாச்சு அதனால் தாளம் மாறிப்போச்சு
ஓஹோ சாம நேரமாச்சு அதனால் தாளம் மாறிப்போச்சு
ஹோ ஹோய்....ஹோ ஹோய்....ஹோ ஹோய்....
ஹோய்ய்ய்ய்யா.....
It became midnight, and so the rhythm changed,
Oho, it became midnight, and so the rhythm changed!
Ho hoi... ho hoi... ho hoi...
Hoiiiiiiiyaa...
I kept a garland of flowers, only for a storm to carry it away,
I waited here expecting it for a thousand ages.
புயல் கொண்டு போக பூச்சரம் வைத்தேன்
ஆயிரம் காலம் நானிங்கு பார்த்தேன்
விடுகதை போலே ஆனது வாழ்க்கை
பொருளறியாமல் எழுதிய வார்த்தை
Life has become like a riddle,
Like words written without knowing their meaning.
I lived in a prison called agony,
Today I asked fate for my freedom.
வேதனை என்னும் சிறையினில் வாழ்ந்தேன்
விதியிடம் இன்று விடுதலை கேட்டேன்
காதல் வானிலே வந்த பௌர்ணமி
செய்த பாவமென்ன
இரவில் பொழியும் பனியும் எரியும்
What sin did the full moon commit
That appeared in the sky of love?
Even the frost falling at night feels scorching,
As the wind blows, making tender buds bend and fall.
Did God create this haste? Is this hurry right?
அடிக்கிற காத்தில அரும்புகள் சாய்ந்திட
ஆண்டவன் படைத்தானா இந்த அவசரம் சரிதானா
அது காலம் போற வேகம் இதில் யாரை நொந்து லாபம்
ஓஹோ காலம் போற வேகம் இதில் யாரை நொந்து லாபம்
ஹோ ஹோய்....ஹோ ஹோய்....ஹோ ஹோய்....
ஹோய்ய்ய்ய்யா.....
It is the speed of passing time; who can we blame to gain anything?
Oho, it is the speed of passing time; who can we blame to gain anything?
Ho hoi... ho hoi... ho hoi...
Hoiiiiiiiyaa...
He cast a fishing hook for a fish in the sky,
And ended up getting caught in the hook himself.
வானிலுள்ள மீனுக்கென்று தூண்டிலிட்டான்
தூண்டில் தன்னில் தானே மாட்டிக்கொண்டான்
அத்திப்பூக்கள் பூக்குமென்று காத்திருந்தான்
ஆசைக் கொண்டு நாளும் காத்திருந்தான்
He waited for the fig tree to blossom with flowers,
With deep desire, he waited day after day.
There is no flower, nor any fragrance,
Nor is there a day when desire will be satisfied.
பூவும் இல்லை வாசம் இல்லை
ஆசை தீரும் நாளும் இல்லை
காதல் என்னும் பாதை எங்கு போகிறதோ
கால்கள் ரெண்டும் எங்கு சென்று சேர்ந்திடுமோ
காதல் வானிலே வந்த பௌர்ணமி
செய்த பாவமென்ன
எதுவும் நிஜமோ கனவும் சுகமோ
Where is this path called love leading to?
Where will both feet end up reaching?
What sin did the full moon commit
That appeared in the sky of love?
Is anything real, or is even a dream pleasant?
What was thought did not happen, what was sown did not sprout.
Inside this dazed heart, what is the medicine for this, child?
நெனச்சது நடக்கல வெதச்சது மொளைக்கல
மயக்க நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே இதுக்கு மருந்து என்ன புள்ள
இதுக்கு மருந்து ஏதுமில்ல உன்னோட மனந்தான் சரியில்ல
அடியே மருந்து ஏதுமில்ல உன்னோட மனந்தான் சரியில்ல
ஹோ ஹோய்....ஹோ ஹோய்....ஹோ ஹோய்....
ஹோய்ய்ய்ய்யா.....
There is no medicine for this; your mind itself is not right.
Girl, there is no medicine; your mind itself is not right.
Ho hoi... ho hoi... ho hoi...
Hoiiiiiiiyaa...
In four hearts
And in all eyes, what is this sorrow that has arrived?
நான்கு நெஞ்சிலும்
கண்கள் யாவிலும் வந்த சோகமென்ன
என்று ஏங்கிடும் அன்பு நெஞ்சமே
கொண்ட பாசம் என்ன
தீபம் ஏற்றவும் பாதை காட்டவும்
துடிக்கும் உள்ளமென்ன......ஏ....ஏ.....
O loving heart that yearns every day,
What is the point of the affection you held?
To light a lamp and show the path,
What is this heart that throbs... ae... ae...
Tomorrow itself should turn out to be good,
It must happen here.
நாளை என்பதே நன்மையாகவே
ஆக வேண்டும் இங்கே
விடியும் பொழுதே முடிவும் உனதே
As day breaks, the decision lies with you.
In a life where one dances on a new stage every day,
What is the ending, uncle? Can you explain it a bit so I understand?
நாளொரு மேடையில் ஆடிடும் வாழ்க்கையில்
முடிவு என்ன மாமா கொஞ்சம் புரிய சொல்லலாமா
அடி நாளைக்கெந்த ஊரோ இந்த வாழ்வுக்கென்ன பேரோ
Hey, which town belongs to tomorrow? What name belongs to this life?
Which town belongs to tomorrow? What name belongs to this life?
Which town belongs to tomorrow? What name belongs to this life?
நாளைக்கெந்த ஊரோ இந்த வாழ்வுக்கென்ன பேரோ
நாளைக்கெந்த ஊரோ இந்த வாழ்வுக்கென்ன பேரோ
நாளைக்கெந்த ஊரோ இந்த வாழ்வுக்கென்ன பேரோ
நாளைக்கெந்த ஊரோ இந்த வாழ்வுக்கென்ன பேரோ....
Which town belongs to tomorrow? What name belongs to this life?
Which town belongs to tomorrow? What name belongs to this life...
Which town belongs to tomorrow? What name belongs to this life...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from 'Ival Oru Pournami' (1987) expresses deep existential dread, heartbreak, and the plight of street performers or dancers whose lives are bound to the stage while suffering internal torment. The lyricist Pulamaipithan draws parallels between tragic classical tales—such as Kalidasa's Shakuntala—and the protagonist's own broken dreams, questioning why love and destiny constantly subject innocent hearts to suffering like fish caught on a hook.
Writing craft
