நான் உணர்வோடு விழிக்கின்றேன்
உன் நேசம் கண்ணீரில் தீட்டுகின்றேன்
என் சோகம் உன் மூச்சில் அலசுகிறேன்
உன் ஸ்வாசம் உன் நினைவில் துவட்டுகிறேன்
I wake up with full consciousness
I paint your affection with my tears
I wash my sorrow in my breath
I dry your breath in your memories
உறவு இல்லாத
உரிமை கொள்ளாத
இதுவே உலகின் முதல் மொழி
Without any relationship
Without claiming any right
This indeed is the world's
First language
புது வித ஏக்கம்
தனிமை துவக்கம்
மீண்டும் துரத்தும் என் விதி
A new kind of longing
The beginning of solitudes
Chasing me once again
Is my fate
பௌர்ணமி தேயும் வானில்
இரவின் நிசப்தம்
வெண் பனி மூடும் பூவில்
காற்றின் நிசப்தம்
மௌனங்கள் பேசும் கண்கள்
உலகின் நிசப்தம்
நீ இல்லாத எந்தன் பூமி நிசப்தம்
In the sky where the full moon wanes
The silence of the night
In the flower covered by white snow
The silence of the wind
Eyes that speak through silence
The silence of the world
Without you, my
World is total silence
நான் உணர்வோடு விழிக்கின்றேன்
உன் நேசம் கண்ணீரில் தீட்டுகின்றேன்
I wake up with full consciousness
I paint your affection with my tears
தோழமை தந்து தனிமை போக்கினாய்
வாழ்வின் அர்த்தம் மனத்தில் ஊட்டினாய்
சிறை கொண்ட எந்தன் பெண்மை
சுகமாக மாற்றினாயே
வரம் என்று உன்னை நினைத்தேன் மறைந்தாயே
Giving me friendship
You eradicated my loneliness
The meaning of life
You instilled in my heart
My womanhood that was imprisoned
You transformed pleasantly
I thought of you as a boon
Yet you vanished
பௌர்ணமி தேயும் வானில்
இரவின் நிசப்தம்
வெண் பனி மூடும் பூவில்
காற்றின் நிசப்தம்
மௌனங்கள் பேசும் கண்கள்
உலகின் நிசப்தம்
நீ இல்லாத எந்தன் பூமி நிசப்தம்
In the sky where the full moon wanes
The silence of the night
In the flower covered by white snow
The silence of the wind
Eyes that speak through silence
The silence of the world
Without you, my
World is total silence
ஆஅ.....ஆஆ......ஆஆ......
Aaaa...aaa...aa...
மறுஜென்மம் கேட்பேன் நட்பு கிடைக்குமா
மறுபடி உன்னை காண ஆகுமா
அங்கும் இங்கும் எங்கும் கண்டேன்
உந்தன் பிம்பம் நினைவின் ஜூவாலை
கண்ணீருக்குள் மூழ்கி தவித்தேன் ஓர் அபலை
I will pray for another birth
Will I get your friendship again?
To see you once more
Will it ever be possible?
Here and there
Everywhere I looked
I saw your image
The flame of memory
Drowned in tears, I suffered
Like a helpless woman
பௌர்ணமி தேயும் வானில்
இரவின் நிசப்தம்
வெண் பனி மூடும் பூவில்
காற்றின் நிசப்தம்
மௌனங்கள் பேசும் கண்கள்
உலகின் நிசப்தம்
நீ இல்லாத எந்தன் பூமி நிசப்தம்
In the sky where the full moon wanes
The silence of the night
In the flower covered by white snow

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This soulful track expresses profound grief, yearning, and deep emotional solitude following the loss of a beloved companion. The narrator reflects on a bond that transcended formal relationships and rights—a silent, pure language of connection. Without this presence, the protagonist feels trapped in an unbearable stillness where nature itself (the night moon, snow, wind, and speaking eyes) echoes silence.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Epiphora / Refrain (Iyaiybu)
“Iravin nishaptham / Kaatrin nishaptham / Ulagin nishaptham”
The word 'Nishaptham' (Silence) is repeated at the end of successive lines in the chorus to emphasize overwhelming stillness.
Metaphor
“Ninaivin jwaalai”
Comparing memories to a burning flame ('Ninaivin jwaalai') highlights the burning pain of recollection.
Couplet Rhyme (Iyaiybu)
“Uravu illatha / Urimai kollatha”
Matching ending structures 'illatha' and 'kollatha' create rhythmic symmetry.
