My name is, and always will be, Manickam.
I am 24 years old.
The last heir of the AK Group of Companies.
What can I do? When we do things
that our parents do not approve of,
the parents who gave birth to us end up disliking us.
Even so, one year ago,
a life that I built for myself...
Kayalvizhi... my Kayalu, Kayalu... (Dialogue)
It hurts, my chest hurts so much.
I have buried so many desires deep down.
Trembling inside my eyes,
I have held back all my tears.
Written with the tip of a pen,
will this poem of mine
ever reach your feet?
If you say you don't want me anymore,
will that ever make up for this pain? Will it?
It hurts so much, girl, it hurts so much.
Thinking about you deep in my heart,
my soul is burning right now, girl.
Here I go, searching for a drink.
It hurts so much, girl, it hurts so much.
Thinking about you deep in my heart,
my soul is burning right now, girl.
Here I go, searching for a drink.
Searching for a drink... oh... oh...
Searching for myself... oh... oh...
It hurts, my chest hurts so much.
I have buried so many desires deep down.
Trembling inside my eyes,
I have held back all my tears.
Written with the tip of a pen,
will this poem of mine
ever reach your feet?
If you say you don't want me anymore,
will that ever make up for this pain? Will it?
When I walk around all alone,
I look like a lone, barren tree, girl.
I, who used to roam fearlessly like Virumandi,
am now lying around as a worthless nobody, girl.
Because of you, for you, towards you,
my affection will never fade away.
You, who were once my companion,
left me all alone and went away.
You, who once smiled so happily,
are leaving behind only agony.
Even my own shadow hates me, girl.
My conscience pricks me from within.
My life, I am drifting away from you, girl.
I am a walking corpse, living without truly living.
Written with the tip of a pen,
will this poem of mine
ever reach your feet?
If you say you don't want me anymore,
will that ever make up for this pain? Will it?
It hurts so much, girl, it hurts so much.
Thinking about you deep in my heart,
my soul is burning right now, girl.
Here I go, searching for a drink.
Searching for a drink... oh... oh...
Written with the tip of a pen,
will this poem of mine
ever reach your feet?
Do you know what true cruelty is?
The person we love most in our life,
the one who loved us with all their heart,
having their last breath slip away on our lap...
...that is true agony. Today is her memorial day.
She left a child in my care and passed away. (Dialogue)

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song expresses the deep anguish and sorrow of a young man named Maanikam following the loss of his beloved partner, Kayalvizhi. He reflects on his past choices, family alienation, and the unbearable pain of watching his loved one pass away in his arms, leaving behind a child or memory that sustains him while he feels like a walking corpse. The lyrics balance dialogue-style monologue with lyrical expression, conveying themes of guilt, eternal affection, and heartbreak.
