Lyrics & meaning
| ♫ Tanglish lyrics | ↻ English translation |
|---|---|
| Male | |
| Maaya manamurugum | The illusionary heart melts |
| Thanal eriyum dhegam | The body burns like hot embers |
| Nigazh arindha piragum ennul | Even after knowing the reality, within me |
| Nizhal oliyil vaadum | It wilts in the shadow's light |
| Male | |
| Kannil nindra kanavu ponadhae | The dream that stood in my eyes is gone |
| Karaiyil nirkkiren nanum | I stand alone on the shore |
| Nindru pona idhayam ketkkudhae | The heart that stopped beating asks |
| Kaadhal theduthae vaa anbae | It searches for love, come my dear |
| Male | |
| Aagayam vadidudhae | The sky pours down tears |
| Vaarthaiyindri paadidudhae | It sings without any words |
| Kaayam vandhu yengum nenjil | In the heart aching with wounds |
| Un ninaivu odudhae.. | Your memory runs through |
| Hoo oo hoo……hoo oo hooo | Hoo oo hoo……hoo oo hooo |
| Male | |
| Paadhaigalaal pirindhenae | I parted ways due to paths |
| Naanum ennai | Losing even my own self |
| Paarvaigalaal purindhenae | I understood through glances |
| Unnai | You |
| Male | |
| En thaabam edhu endru | What my intense longing is |
| Un velvigal ariyaadho | Won't your quest understand it? |
| Nee sollum badhil yaavum | All the answers you give |
| Nam kaalaangal yerkkumo | Will our times accept them? |
| Male | |
| Thanimaiyum thanimaiyum neela | As solitude and solitude stretch on |
| Maatram moozhgi poga | As change sinks away |
| Nam ninaivugal ninaivugal theera | As our memories wear out |
| Theindhu pogiren unnudanae | I am fading away along with you |
| Male | |
| Theeyum indru kulirgirathu | Even fire feels cold today |
| Pagalum irulil maraigirathu | Even daytime hides in darkness |
| Meedhamulla oliyil undhan | In the remaining trace of light |
| Imaiyin ooram thondruthae | It appears at the edge of your eyelid |
| Hoo oo hoo…hoo oo hoo… | Hoo oo hoo…hoo oo hoo… |
மாய மனமுருகும்
தனல் எரியும் தேகம்
நிகழ் அறிந்த பிறகும் என்னுள்
நிழல் ஒளியில் வாடும்
The illusionary heart melts
The body burns like hot embers
Even after knowing the reality, within me
It wilts in the shadow's light
கண்ணில் நின்ற கனவு போனதே
கரையில் நிற்கிறேன் நானும்
நின்று போன இதயம் கேட்குதே
காதல் தேடுதே வா அன்பே
The dream that stood in my eyes is gone
I stand alone on the shore
The heart that stopped beating asks
It searches for love, come my dear
ஆகாயம் வாடிடுதே
வார்த்தையின்றி பாடிடுதே
காயம் வந்து ஏங்கும் நெஞ்சில்
உன் நினைவு ஓடுதே
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஹோ ஓ ஓ
The sky pours down tears
It sings without any words
In the heart aching with wounds
Your memory runs through
Hoo oo hoo……hoo oo hooo
பாதைகளால் பிரிந்தேனே
நானும் என்னை
பார்வைகளால் புரிந்தேன
உன்னை
I parted ways due to paths
Losing even my own self
I understood through glances
You
என் தாபம் எதுவென்று
உன் வேள்விகள் அறியாதோ
நீ சொல்லும் பதில் யாவும்
நம் காலங்கள் ஏற்குமோ
What my intense longing is
Won't your quest understand it?
All the answers you give
Will our times accept them?
தனிமையும் தனிமையும் நீள
மாற்றம் மூழ்கிப்போக
நம் நினைவுகள் நினைவுகள் தீர
தேய்ந்து போகிறேன் உன்னுடனே
As solitude and solitude stretch on
As change sinks away
As our memories wear out
I am fading away along with you
தீயும் இன்று குளிர்கிறது
பகலும் இருளில் மறைகிறது
மீதமுள்ள ஒளியில் உந்தன்
இமையின் ஓரம் தோன்றுதே
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஹோ ஓ ஓ
Even fire feels cold today
Even daytime hides in darkness
In the remaining trace of light
It appears at the edge of your eyelid
Hoo oo hoo…hoo oo hoo…
Maaya manamurugum
The illusionary heart melts
Thanal eriyum dhegam
The body burns like hot embers
Nigazh arindha piragum ennul
Even after knowing the reality, within me
Nizhal oliyil vaadum
It wilts in the shadow's light
Kannil nindra kanavu ponadhae
The dream that stood in my eyes is gone
Karaiyil nirkkiren nanum
I stand alone on the shore
Nindru pona idhayam ketkkudhae
The heart that stopped beating asks
Kaadhal theduthae vaa anbae
It searches for love, come my dear
Aagayam vadidudhae
The sky pours down tears
Vaarthaiyindri paadidudhae
It sings without any words
Kaayam vandhu yengum nenjil
In the heart aching with wounds
Un ninaivu odudhae..
Your memory runs through
Hoo oo hoo……hoo oo hooo
Hoo oo hoo……hoo oo hooo
Paadhaigalaal pirindhenae
I parted ways due to paths
Naanum ennai
Losing even my own self
Paarvaigalaal purindhenae
I understood through glances
Unnai
You
En thaabam edhu endru
What my intense longing is
Un velvigal ariyaadho
Won't your quest understand it?
Nee sollum badhil yaavum
All the answers you give
Nam kaalaangal yerkkumo
Will our times accept them?
Thanimaiyum thanimaiyum neela
As solitude and solitude stretch on
Maatram moozhgi poga
As change sinks away
Nam ninaivugal ninaivugal theera
As our memories wear out
Theindhu pogiren unnudanae
I am fading away along with you
Theeyum indru kulirgirathu
Even fire feels cold today
Pagalum irulil maraigirathu
Even daytime hides in darkness
Meedhamulla oliyil undhan
In the remaining trace of light
Imaiyin ooram thondruthae
It appears at the edge of your eyelid
Hoo oo hoo…hoo oo hoo…
Hoo oo hoo…hoo oo hoo…
Beyond the translation
