நான்தானே ஏங்குகிறேன் உன் நினைவாலே
நாள்தோறும் பாடுகிறேன் உன் பிரிவாலே
என் மேல் கோபம் ஏனோ
என்னைக் கொஞ்சம் பாரும்
ராவெல்லாம் தூங்காம நான் வாடுறேன்
It is I who long for you in your memory
I sing every day because of our separation
Why are you angry with me?
Look at me a little
I wither away without sleeping all night

அப்புறம்தான் காதலிச்சேன்
காதலிச்ச நாள் முதலா
கண்ணு ரெண்டும் உறங்கலையே} ( 2 )

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses the poignant longing and heartfelt distress of a young woman experiencing the agony of separation from her beloved. She passionately questions his sudden anger and hatred toward her, describing how her love grew incrementally until it completely took over her life, leaving her unable to sleep at night. The lyrics evoke innocent nostalgia, recalling how she used to skip out during school hours just to catch a glimpse of him, and how colorful yet tormenting dreams now consume her sleepless nights.
