விழி வேர்க்குறேன்
ஏதோ ஆகுறேன்
என் நண்பா நீயும் என்ன
ஏன் விட்டு போன
My eyes are sweating
Something is happening to me
My friend, why did you
Leave me and go?
தவறாகுமா
சரியாகுமா
என் நண்பா நீயும் ஏனோ
தனி ஆக்கி போன
Is it wrong?
Will it become right?
My friend, why did you
Leave me all alone?
நீ செஞ்சதெல்லாம்
நியாயம்தான்
ஒரு நாள் தெரியும்
எல்லாருக்கும்தான்
கலங்காம போ.....
கலங்காம போ.....
Everything you did
Is indeed justified
One day it will be known
To everyone
Go without getting distressed...
Go without getting distressed..
ஒரு தோள் கொடுக்க
தோழனா
இனி யார் இருக்கா
என்கூடத்தான்
அட போடா போ
வலி தீர்த்து போ
To offer a shoulder to lean on
As a true friend
Who is left anymore
By my side?
Oh come on, go
Relieve the pain and go
உயிரா இருப்பான்
உயிர கொடுப்பேன்
அந்த கடவுள் படைச்ச
உறவில் இதுதான்
எதிர்பார்ப்பு இல்லாதது
He will treat me as his life
He will sacrifice his life
Among all created by God
In relationships, this is the only one
That asks for nothing in return
விழி வேர்க்குறேன்
ஏதோ ஆகுறேன்
என் நண்பா நீயும் என்ன
ஏன் விட்டு போன
My eyes are sweating
Something is happening to me
My friend, why did you
Leave me and go?
தவறாகுமா
சரியாகுமா
என் நண்பா நீயும் ஏனோ
தனி ஆக்கி போன
Is it wrong?
Will it become right?
My friend, why did you
Leave me all alone?
Vizhi verkkuren
My eyes are sweating
Yedho aaguren
Something is happening to me
En nanba neeyum enna
My friend, why did you
Yen vittu pona
Leave me and go?
Thavaragumaa
Is it wrong?
Seriyagumaa
Will it become right?
En nanba neeyum yeno
My friend, why did you
Thani aakki pona
Leave me all alone?
Nee senjathellam
Everything you did
Nyaayam thaan
Is indeed justified
Oru naal theriyum
One day it will be known
Ellarukkum thaan
To everyone
Kalangaama poo…
Go without getting distressed...
Kalangaama poo..
Go without getting distressed..
Oru thol kudukka
To offer a shoulder to lean on
Thozhana
As a true friend
Ini yaar irukka
Who is left anymore
En kooda thaan
By my side?
Ada poda poo
Oh come on, go
Vali theerthu poo
Relieve the pain and go
Uyiraa iruppaan
