♫ Tanglish lyrics
↻ English translation
Naam indru naan aanadhae
Idhu enna maatramo
En nizhal veeranadhae
Idhu naalai maarumo
Thodar ottam odum nerathil
Dhisai konjam maarudhae
Uyir sorndhu saayum velaiyil
Pudhu paadhai thondrudhae
Kadal neerilae…
Alai polavae…
Vizhunthaalumae…
Ezhunthaalumae…
Imai orathil…
Thuli polavae…
Maraithaalumae…
Vazhinthodumae…
"We" has become just "I" today,
What kind of change is this?
Even my shadow has become a stranger,
Will this change tomorrow?
While running this endless race,
The direction is slightly shifting.
At the moment life grows weary and falls,
A new path appears...
In the waters of the sea...
Just like a wave...
Even if it falls...
It rises back up...
At the edge of the eye...
Just like a tear...
Even if you hide it...
It will still overflow and roll down...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This introspective song explores themes of personal transformation, loneliness, and emotional resilience. The speaker reflects on how a collective 'we' has disintegrated into an isolated 'I', forcing them to become strong and self-reliant. As life's journey takes unexpected detours and brings fatigue, new opportunities and directions unexpectedly open up. The imagery of ocean waves endlessly falling and rising, and tears that inevitably trickle down despite attempts to conceal them, symbolizes the unstoppable flow of time, sorrow, and human perseverance.
