மன்னிப்பாயா
என கேட்காதே எப்போதும்
என்னை நீங்காதே
Do not ask 'Will you forgive me?'
Never ever leave me
நானுமே நாளுமே
கரைந்திடும் இரவானேன்
I myself, day after day,
Have become a night that melts away
காற்றிலே ஊசலாய்
உருகிடும் மெழுகானேன்
Swinging like a pendulum in the wind,
I have become a melting wax candle
கோபம் கொண்டு
நீங்காதே எந்தன் நெஞ்சம்
தாங்காதே
Do not leave me in anger
My heart cannot bear the pain
அன்பு என்றும்
தீராதே என்னை விட்டு
போகாதே
Love will never fade away
Do not go away leaving me
பெண் & ஆண் :
மன்னிப்பாயா
என கேட்காதே எப்போதும்
என்னை நீங்காதே
Never ever leave me
Female: Never ever leave me
எப்போதும்
என்னை நீங்காதே
பெண் : எப்போதும்
என்னை நீங்காதே
Through all periods of time,
Will you walk along with me?
To heal all my wounds,
Will you lend me your comforting hands?
காலங்கள்
தோறுமே கூடவே
வருவாயே காயங்கள்
ஆற்றிட உன் கரங்களை
தருவாயே
Times may change,
But nothing else will ever change
I yearn for comfort; to hold me up,
Will you lend me your shoulders?
காலங்கள் மாறுமே
வேறேதும் மாறாதே
ஏங்குவேன் தாங்கிட
உன் தோள்களை தருவாயே
Could there ever be days
That exist without you?
நீ இல்லாத
நாட்களும் இல்லை
என்று ஆகுமா
My love, would my lifespan even
Extend beyond you?
அன்பே எந்தன்
ஆயுளும் உன்னை விட்டு
நீளுமா
பெண் & ஆண் :
வானம்
நாளும் பார்க்கலாம்
எல்லை இன்றி பேசலாம்
நீண்ட தூரம் போகலாம்
அன்பு கொண்டு வாழலாம்
பெண் & ஆண் :
மன்னிப்பாயா
என கேட்காதே எப்போதும்
என்னை நீங்காதே

Do not ask 'Will you forgive me?'
Eppodhum enai neengaathae
Never ever leave me
Naanumae naalumae
I myself, day after day,
Karaindhidum iravaanen
Have become a night that melts away
Kaatrilae oosalaai
Swinging like a pendulum in the wind,
Urugidum mezhugaanen
I have become a melting wax candle
Kobam kondu neengaathae
Do not leave me in anger
Endhan nenjam thaangaathae
My heart cannot bear the pain
Anbu endrum theeraathae
Love will never fade away
Ennai vittu pogaathae
Do not go away leaving me

Nee illaatha naatkalum
Could there ever be days
Illai endru aagumaa
That exist without you?
Anbae endhan aayulum
My love, would my lifespan even
Unnai vittu neelumaa
Extend beyond you?
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This emotional romantic track from '8 Thottakkal' conveys profound vulnerability, unconditional devotion, and a desperate plea against separation. The speaker implores their lover not to seek formal forgiveness or walk away in anger, expressing how fragile and lost they feel without their presence—comparing their mental state to a melting candle flickering helplessly in the wind. The second stanza emphasizes eternal togetherness, healing, and emotional support. The lyrics reaffirm that while time and circumstances change, true love remains immutable, making a life lived apart from the beloved completely unimaginable.
