என் கண்ணுக்குள்ள கத்தாத
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள நச்சாத
சொல்லே போதும்
உன் சொல்லே போதும்
Don't scream inside my eyes
Don't badger inside my heart
Just a word is enough
Your word alone is enough
என் அன்ப மொத்தோம் பிச்சானே
கோவம் வெச்சு தெச்சானே
இன்னும் வேனும்
ஓ......இன்னும் வேணும்
I tore all my love to pieces
I rubbed it with anger
I want more
Oh, I want more
விட்டு போன வாசலிலே
வாழ்க்க தீர காத்திருக்கேன்
காத்தில் உள்ள காதலெல்லாம்
கூட்டி காத்து தாரேனேன் நான்
At the doorway where you left me
I am waiting until life ends
All the love that is in the air
I will gather and guard it for you
ஓட ஓட நான் மேல சாஞ்சிக்க
தீர தீரா உன் தோள் இல்லையா?
ஈரம் ஈரம் கண் ஓரம் மெதுவா கோதுமே....ஏ...
As I run and run, to lean upon you
Is your shoulder not there endlessly?
The moisture at the corner of my eye gently touches...
ஓட ஓட நான் மேல சாஞ்சிக்க
தீர தீரா உன் தோள் இல்லையா?
ஈரம் ஈரம் கண் ஓரம் மெதுவா கோதுமே....ஏ...

Don't scream inside my eyes
Don't badger inside my heart
Just a word is enough
Your word alone is enough
யார் பழியோ
யார் பிழையோ
யார் வெச்ச கண் முழியோ
நான் கேட்ட கேள்விக்கு
நீ மட்டும் தான் விடையோ
Whose fault is it?
Whose mistake is it?
Whose evil eye was cast on us?
To the question I asked
Are you the only answer?
என்னாகும் என் விதியோ...
என்னாகும் என் விதியோ
என்னாகும் என் விதியோ
என்னாகுமோ...
What will become of my fate...
What will become of my fate
What will become of my fate
What will happen?
விட்டு போன வாசலிலே
வாழ்க தீர காத்திருக்கேன்
காதலில்ல காதலெல்லாம்
கூட்டி காத்து தாரேன் நான்
At the doorway where you left me
I am waiting until life ends
All the love that is in the air
I will gather and guard it for you
விட்டு போன வாசலிலே

ஆவலும் ஆளுது
பாடலும் நீளுது
ஏக்கம் இல்ல இது
வேற் எதோ புரியலையே
தீவரம் தாங்கலை
தீரவும் தோணலை
தீவுல தூக்கி போட்டா
தானா உடைஞ்சேன் உள்ள

Don't scream inside my eyes
Nenjukulla nachaadha
Don't badger inside my heart
Solle podhum

Kaathilulla kaadhalellam
All the love that is in the air
Kooti kaathu thaarenen naan
I will gather and guard it for you
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song portrays an intense emotional journey of heartbreak, longing, and persistent hope following a painful separation. The protagonist struggles with inner turmoil, questioning whether the rift was caused by fate, personal mistakes, or external envy, yet they find solace in the mere thought or single word of their partner. Expressing a willingness to endure pain and wait endlessly at the threshold where they parted, the speaker promises to preserve all their love solely for their beloved.

Poetic devices
Edhukai (Second Letter Rhyme)
“En kannukulla kathaadha / Nenjukulla nachaadha”
The second letters of 'kannukulla' (n) and 'Nenjukulla' (n) match, creating classic Tamil poetic harmony across consecutive lines.
Adukku Thodar (Reduplication / Repetition)
“Oda oda naan mela saanjika / Theera theera un thol illaya?”
Words like 'Oda oda', 'Theera theera', and 'Eeram eeram' are repeated back-to-back to intensify rhythm and express deep emotion.
Iyaibu (End Rhyme / Anaphora)
“Yaar pazhiyo / Yaar pizhayo / Yaar vecha kan muzhiyo”
Lines end with the rhyming suffix '-yo' (pazhiyo, pizhayo, muzhiyo, vidaiyo, vidhiyo), generating a rhythmic questioning tone.
Metaphor
“Kaathilulla kaadhalellam / Kooti kaathu thaarenen naan”
Love is conceptualized as something tangible present in the air ('Kaathilulla kaadhalellam') that can be physically gathered and protected.
