நெஞ்ச தெறந்து வைக்க வழியுமில்லையே
நெசத்த எடுத்து சொல்ல மொழியுமில்லையே
நெஞ்ச தெறந்து வைக்க வழியுமில்லையே
நெசத்த எடுத்து சொல்ல மொழியுமில்லையே
There is no way to open up my heart.
There are no words to express my love.
There is no way to open up my heart.
There are no words to express my love.
விழி நீராடுது மனம் போராடுது விதி விளையாடுது
நெஞ்ச தெறந்து வைக்க வழியுமில்லையே
நெசத்த எடுத்து சொல்ல மொழியுமில்லையே
My eyes bathe in tears, and my heart struggles in pain.
Fate is playing its tragic game.
There is no way to open up my heart.
There are no words to express my love.
ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்........ம்ம்ம்ம்......ம்ம்ம்ம்...ம்ம்....ம்ம்ம்ம்...
ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்........ம்ம்ம்ம்......ம்ம்ம்ம்...ம்ம்....ம்ம்ம்ம்...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This emotional passage captures deep sorrow, vulnerability, and helpless grief. The speaker feels completely unable to express their true feelings of affection due to overwhelming constraints and emotional barriers. The struggle within their mind manifests physically through tears, highlighting a sense of surrender to an unfair destiny that seems to play games with their life.
