Otherwise, kill me completely from the roots.

பக்குவமா சோறாக்கி
பட்டினிய நீ போக்கி பெத்தவள
கண் முன்னே கொண்டு வந்த நேத்து
With such care,
Cooking rice and driving away hunger,
You brought my mother who birthed me
Before my very eyes yesterday.
என்னாச்சு அந்த
பாசம் எதிலேயும் இல்ல
வேசம் என் மேல என்ன
பூவே ரோசம்
What happened to that
Affection? It is nowhere to be seen now.
Why this act of pretense against me,
Oh flower, my pride?
முள்ளாச்சே முல்லை
வாசம் வச்சேனே அல்லி நேசம்
வேரென்ன செஞ்சேன் மோசம் மோசம்
The jasmine flower has turned into a thorn,
I gathered and kept your fragrance close,
What else did I do with my true affection?
Is it a betrayal, a total betrayal?
நீ எப்போ நீ
எப்போ நீ எப்போ புள்ள
சொல்ல போற
When will you,
When will you, when will you,
Girl, tell me?

The silver moon belongs with the sky,
The betel leaf belongs in the mouth,
And my entire world is with you,
So I truly believed.
யம்மாடி என்ன
சொல்ல அன்பாலே வந்த
தொல்ல உன் மேலே தப்பே
இல்ல இல்ல
Oh my, what can I
Say? Trouble came only because of love.
There is no fault on you, none at all.
என்னோட கண்ணுக்குள்ள
கண்ணீரும் சிந்த இல்ல செத்தேனே
இப்ப மெல்ல மெல்ல
Inside my eyes,
There are no tears left to shed,
I am dying now slowly, slowly.
நீ எப்போ நீ
எப்போ நீ எப்போ புள்ள

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Nee Eppo Pulla Solla Pora is a poignant Tamil emotional track from the movie Kumki (2012). The song captures the profound heartache of a protagonist yearning for an explanation from his beloved, who has suddenly distanced herself from him. He reminisces about her warmth, care, and former affection, contrasting them with her present silence and emotional detachment. Overwhelmed by grief and confusion, he expresses that if she cannot give him a reason for her departure, her silence hurts as severely as a death sentence.
