எங்கே உன் பூ முகம்
எங்கே உன் நியாபகம் கண்ணே
உன் தரிசனம் எந்த நாளிலும்
எதிரி போல் ஆகும்
Where is your flower-like face?
Where is your memory?
Dear one, your vision
Becomes like an enemy on any day.
காற்றோடு சொல்லி
போனாயே எந்தன் மூச்சோடு
மொத்தம் சேர்ந்தாயே
You whispered to the wind and went away,
With my breath,
You merged completely.
ஓர பார்வையில் நீ
என் உதிரம் பருகினாய்
உந்தன் மீதி பார்வையில்
நீ என் உயிரை திருகினாய்
With a single side-glance,
You drank my blood.
With the rest of your glance,
You twisted my life.
கண் காது நாசியாவிலும்
கலகங்கள் நிறைய செய்கிறாய்
என் ஜானில் புகுந்து கொண்டு நீ
இறங்காமல் உறைய வைக்கிறாய்
ஏன் என்னை சீர் அழித்தாய்
In my eyes, ears, and nose as well,
You fill conflicts and chaos.
Entering inside my very span,
You make me freeze without stepping down.
Why did you ruin my composure?
........................................
...
காற்றோடு சொல்லி
போனாயே எந்தன் மூச்சோடு
மொத்தம் சேர்ந்தாயே
You whispered to the wind and went away,
With my breath,
You merged completely.
கருப்பான விடியல்
கிடையாது சிவப்பான நதிகள்
கிடையாது நினைத்தாலும்
தேங்கி போகும் நிமிஷம்
கிடையாது
There is no black dawn,
There are no red rivers,
Even if you wish, a moment
That stagnates does not exist.
செதுக்காமல் சிலைகள்
கிடையாது எடுக்காமல் புதையல்
கிடையாது அணைக்காமல் நீங்கி
போனால் அமுதம் கிடையாது
Without sculpting, there are no statues,
Without digging, there is no treasure,
If you depart without embracing,
There is no nectar.
உப்பு கல் உப்பு கல்
தண்ணீரில் தாங்காது பக்கத்தில்
நீ நின்றால் வாய் பேசாது பிம்பத்தை
பிம்பத்தை கண்ணாடி திட்டாது
வண்டின்றி புஷ்பத்தில் தேன்
சொட்டாது
A lump of salt does not remain in water,
If you stand close by, the mouth stays silent.
A mirror does not scold a reflection,
Without a bee, honey does not drip from a flower.
இனிமேலே நீ
இல்லாமல் நானும்
இங்கு ஏது
From now on, without you, what am I here?
காற்றோடு (காற்றோடு)
சொல்லி போனாயே (சொல்லி போனாயே)
எந்தன் மூச்சோடு (எந்தன் மூச்சோடு)
மொத்தம் சேர்ந்தாயே (மொத்தம் சேர்ந்தாயே)
With the wind (with the wind)
Whispered and left (whispered and left)
With my breath (with my breath)
Merged completely (merged completely)
உதட்டோர சுழியில்
தொலைந்தேனா உருத்தாத
அழகில் தொலைந்தேனா
இமைத்தாயே கூச்சத்தோடு
அதிலே தொலைந்தேனா
Did I get lost in the curve of your lips?
Did I get lost in your unyielding beauty?
You blinked with shyness,
Did I get lost in that?
இனிப்பான பகையில்
தொலைந்தேனா இயல்பான
வகையில் தொலைந்தேனா
தொலைந்தாயே நீ என்னோடு
அதனால் தொலைந்தேனா
Did I get lost in sweet enmity?
Did I get lost in a natural way?
You got lost with me,
Is that why I got lost?
வண்ணங்கள் வண்ணங்கள்
இல்லாமல் வாழ்ந்தேனே தந்தாயே
நிறமெல்லாம் அதனால் தானா
Colors, colors,
I lived without them,
You gave them all across the land,
Is that why?
கண்ணுக்குள் கண்ணுக்குள்
காணாத கனவாக கண்டேனே நான்
உன்னை அதனால் தானா
Inside the eyes, inside the eyes,
As an unseen dream,
I saw you,
Is that why?
எதனாலே காதல்
பிட்சை கேட்கும் பக்தன்
நானா
How did I become a devotee begging for love's alms?
காற்றோடு சொல்லி
போனாயே எந்தன் மூச்சோடு
மொத்தம் சேர்ந்தாயே
You whispered to the wind and went away,
With my breath,
You merged completely.
ஓர பார்வையில் நீ
என் உதிரம் பருகினாய்
உந்தன் மீதி பார்வையில்
நீ என் உயிரை திருகினாய்
With a single side-glance,
You drank my blood.
With the rest of your glance,
You twisted my life.
கண் காது நாசியாவிலும்
கலகங்கள் நிறைய செய்கிறாய்
என் ஜானில் புகுந்து கொண்டு நீ
இறங்காமல் உறைய வைக்கிறாய்

In my eyes, ears, and nose as well,
You fill conflicts and chaos.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poetic track depicts the overwhelming impact of love on a protagonist who feels utterly consumed by their beloved's memory and presence. The lyrics emphasize how every sense—sight, breath, touch, and thought—has been invaded by the lover, comparing love's transformative nature to essential elements of life, such as rain dissolving salt or sculpture emerging from stone.
