♫ Tanglish lyrics
↻ English translation
Poiyinnu sonniyae
Adhu ennaachu
Kaathula karanjadhaa
Adi on pechu
Kattingu bodhaiya
En kaadhal thelinju pochu..
Kalandinu poraddhukkaa
Enna kaadhalicha
Nambuna manasathaan
Nee nogadicha
Sincere love-a thaan
Nee simple-a saavadicha
Summaathaan
Saanjiyaa en thozhula
Unnaala verthutten
Naan kadhala
En love-u maarava
pona nee thooramaa
Maranjita pirinjita
Nee sollaama
Thavikkuren kalanguren
Nee illaama
Naragatha kaattura
Enkooda nee seraama….
You told me it was a lie,
whatever happened to that?
Did it just vanish into thin air,
hey girl, everything you said?
Like the buzz from a drink wearing off,
my love has completely sobered up..
Was it only to walk out on me in the end
that you ever loved me?
A heart that trusted you completely,
you deeply hurt and broke.
A love that was so sincere,
you simply killed it off.
Was it just for nothing
that you leaned on my shoulder?
Because of you, I have grown to hate
love itself.
Was it so my love would fade away
that you went so far away?
You disappeared and parted ways
without saying a single word.
I am struggling and falling apart
without you by my side.
You are putting me through hell
by refusing to be with me....
