மனசெல்லாம் உன்னிடம் கொடுத்தேன்
என்னுயிர் தோழா.....
பழசெல்லாம் நினைவுக்கு வருதே....
நேரில் வாடா.....
I gave my entire heart to you
My soulmate...
All old memories come flooding back..
Come before me in person..
வான் என்று உன்னையும் நினைத்தேன்
வானவில்லாய் மறைந்தாயே....
திருக்குறலாய் வந்து என் வாழ்வில்
இரு வரியில் முடிந்தாயே
I thought of you as the sky
But you disappeared like a rainbow..
You came into my life like a Thirukkural
And ended in just two lines…
{கண் மூடினால் இருள் ஏது நீயே தெரிகிறாய்
நான் பேசினால் மொழியாக தானே வருகிறாய்} (2)
When I close my eyes, where is darkness? Only you appear
When I speak, you come forth as the language itself (2)
மனசெல்லாம் உன்னிடம் கொடுத்தேன்
என்னுயிர் தோழா.....
பழசெல்லாம் நினைவுக்கு வருதே....
நேரில் வாடா.....
I gave my entire heart to you
My soulmate...
All old memories come flooding back..
Come before me in person..
Show me the meaning
Of being lonely
Tell me why
I cant be there
Where you are
There is something missing in my heart
Show me the meaning
Of being lonely
Tell me why
I cant be there
Where you are
There is something missing in my heart
கரை மோதும் அலைகளை போல
நினைவுகள் மோதிடுதே
ஊதுகின்ற சிகரெட் துண்டுகள்
கதைகள் சொல்லிடுதே....
தண்ணீரில் குமிழியை போல
வந்தவன் போனானே....
விளையாடும் மைதானங்கள்
மயானம் ஆகியதே....
Like waves hitting the shore
Memories keep crashing in
The smoked cigarette butts
Are telling stories..
Like a bubble on water
The one who came has passed away…
The playgrounds we played in
Have turned into a graveyard..
இங்கு எனக்கென்று ஏதும் இல்லையே
என் பள்ளியே முற்று புள்ளியே
இனி முழுவதும்.....நான் அழுவதும்
உன்னை நினைத்தே தோழா.....
There is nothing left here for me..
My school is the full stop
From now on completely... my crying
Will be thinking of you, my friend…
கண் மூடினால் இருள் ஏது நீயே தெரிகிறாய்
நான் பேசினால் மொழியாக தானே வருகிறாய்
When I close my eyes, where is darkness? Only you appear
When I speak, you come forth as the language itself
எனக்கு இருந்த ஒரே பிரண்ட் இப்ப இல்ல
ஸ்கூல்லுக்கு போகவும் புடிக்கல
இனிமே எனக்கு யாரு இருக்கா (வசனம்)
The only friend I had is not there anymore
I don't even feel like going to school
Who do I have left hereafter?
{கண் மூடினால் இருள் ஏது நீயே தெரிகிறாய்
நான் பேசினால் மொழியாக தானே வருகிறாய்} (2)
When I close my eyes, where is darkness? Only you appear
When I speak, you come forth as the language itself (2)
கண் மூடினால்
நான் பேசினால்
When I close my eyes
When I speak
கண் மூடினால்
நான் பேசினால்
When I close my eyes
When I speak
மனசெல்லாம் உன்னையே நினைத்து
மனசெல்லாம் உன்னையே நினைத்து
Thinking of you with my entire heart
Thinking of you with my entire heart
Manasellam unnidam koduthen
I gave my entire heart to you
Ennuyir thozha…
My soulmate...
Pazhasellam ninaivukku varuthae..
All old memories come flooding back..
Nerinil vaada..
Come before me in person..
Vaan endru unnaiyum ninaithaen
I thought of you as the sky
Vaanavillai marainthaayae..
But you disappeared like a rainbow..
Thirukuralaai vanthu en vaazhvil
You came into my life like a Thirukkural
Iru variyil mudinthaayae…
And ended in just two lines…
{Kan moodinaal irul yethu neeyae therikiraai

Of being lonely
Of being lonely
Tell me why
Tell me why
I cant be there
I cant be there
Where you are
Where you are
There is something missing in my heart
There is something missing in my heart
Karai modhum alaigalai pola
Like waves hitting the shore
Ninaivugal modhiduthae
Memories keep crashing in
Oothugindra cigarette thundugal
The smoked cigarette butts
Kadhaikal solliduthae..
Are telling stories..
Thanneeril kumizhiyai pola
Like a bubble on water
Vanthavan ponaanae…
The one who came has passed away…

Kan moodinaal irul yethu neeyae therikiraai
When I close my eyes, where is darkness? Only you appear
Naan pesinaal mozhiyaaga thaanae varukiraai
When I speak, you come forth as the language itself
Enakku iruntha orae friendu ippa illa
The only friend I had is not there anymore
Schoolukku pogavum pudikala
I don't even feel like going to school
Inimael enakku yaaru irukka
Who do I have left hereafter?

Naan pesinaal
When I speak
Kan moodinaal
When I close my eyes
Naan pesinaal
When I speak
Manasellam unnaiyae ninaithu
Thinking of you with my entire heart
Manasellam unnaiyae ninaithu
Thinking of you with my entire heart
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses deep grief and heartbreak over the loss of a soulmate and best friend during school days. The speaker reminisces about shared memories, feeling a profound void now that the friend is no longer present. Powerful imagery—such as a rainbow vanishing or a concise two-line Thirukkural—emphasizes how brief yet impactful their time together was. The emotional turmoil transforms once-vibrant spaces like playgrounds into desolate graveyards in the speaker's mind. Overwhelmed by grief, the protagonist loses interest in school and life, holding onto memories while crying for the lost companion.
