தங்கத்துல வீடு கட்டி
வைரமே உன்ன சேராமலே
போறேன் என் சொந்தமே
நா போறேன்
Even after building a house of gold,
Without uniting with you, my diamond,
I am leaving, my beloved kin,
I am leaving.
பொத்தி வெச்ச ஆசை எல்லாம்
வீதியில் நா விட்டுபுட்டு
போறன் என் நெஞ்சமே
நா போறேன்
All the desires I had kept hidden inside,
Leaving them abandoned on the street,
I am leaving, my heart,
I am leaving.
யாரும் பாக்காத தூரம் போறேன்
உன்ன பாத்துகாம விட்டு போறேன்
என் பாசம் எல்லாம்
பாதியில் நிறுத்தி போறேன்
I am going to a distance unseen by anyone,
Leaving you without being able to look after you,
All of my affection,
Stopping it halfway, I go.
தங்கத்துல வீடு கட்டி
வைரமே உன்ன சேராமலே
போறேன் என் சொந்தமே
நா போறேன்
போறேன் என் நெஞ்சமே
நா போறேன்
Even after building a house of gold,
Without uniting with you, my diamond,
I am leaving, my beloved kin,
I am leaving.
I am leaving, my heart,
I am leaving.
Thangathula veedu katti
Even after building a house of gold,
Vairame unna seramale
Without uniting with you, my diamond,
Poran en sonthame
I am leaving, my beloved kin,
Na poran
I am leaving.
Poththi vecha asai ellaam
All the desires I had kept hidden inside,
Veedhiyil na vittuputtu
Leaving them abandoned on the street,
Poran en nenjame
I am leaving, my heart,
Na poran
I am leaving.
Yarum pakatha dhooram poran
I am going to a distance unseen by anyone,
Unna pathukama vittu poran
Leaving you without being able to look after you,
En pasam elaam
All of my affection,
Paathiyil niruthi poran
Stopping it halfway, I go.
Thangathula veedu katti
Even after building a house of gold,
Vairame unna seramale
Without uniting with you, my diamond,
Poran en sonthame
I am leaving, my beloved kin,
Na poran
I am leaving.
Poran en nenjame
I am leaving, my heart,
Na poran
I am leaving.
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses a poignant farewell, highlighting the speaker's inevitable departure from a beloved person referred to as 'Vairam' (diamond). Despite building a prosperous life metaphorically represented as a 'house of gold', the protagonist laments that all material accomplishments mean nothing without the presence of their loved one. They leave behind unfulfilled desires abandoned on the streets and abandon their affectionate bonds halfway, embarking on a lonely journey into the unknown where no one can follow.
