நெஞ்சே....ஏ....ஏ....ஓஒ....ஹோ
நெஞ்சே....ஏ....ஏ....ஓஒ....ஹோ
கண்கள் ரெண்டும் காதல் சொல்ல
அன்பே நீயோ தள்ளிச் செல்ல
கண்ணைக் கட்டி காட்டில் விட்டால்
அன்பே நானும் எங்கே செல்ல
Oh heart... ae... ae... ooo... hoo
Oh heart... ae... ae... ooo... hoo
As both my eyes speak of love,
My beloved, why do you walk away?
If I am blindfolded and left in a forest,
My beloved, where can I possibly go?
ஒரு முறை என்னை நீ பார்த்திடு
விழிகளில் பேசிடும் மொழி கேட்டிடு
மனதினால் மெல்ல மழை தூவிடு
வலிக்கிறதே
சில முறை கண்கள் பொய் சொல்லுமே
சூழ்நிலை பொய்யை மெய்யாக்குமே
புகையென தோன்றும் பனி மூட்டமே
விலகுமே.....ஏ......
Look at me just once,
Listen to the language spoken by my eyes,
Gentle rain shower from your heart,
It hurts so much...
Sometimes eyes might lie,
Circumstances can turn a lie into truth,
The dense fog that appears like smoke,
Will eventually clear away...
நெஞ்சே....ஏ....ஏ....ஓஒ....ஹோ
Oh heart... ae... ae... ooo... hoo
வேறென்ன அன்பே வேறென்ன
உன்னை நானும் கேட்பேன்
வாழ்ந்தாலும் மண்ணில் விழுந்தாலும்
உந்தன் அன்பை கேட்பேன்
இடைவெளிகள் குறைந்திடுமா
இனி இந்த தூரம் தாங்காதே
மனத் திரைகள் விலகிடுமா
எதற்க்கிந்த மௌனம் போதும்
What else, my beloved, what else,
Would I ever ask of you?
Whether I live or fall into the dust,
I will only ask for your love.
Will the distance between us decrease?
I cannot bear this separation anymore.
Will the curtains of the mind part?
Why this silence? Enough of it!
போகாதே போகாதே
என் நெஞ்சம் பாவம்
கண்ணீரில் தள்ளாடும்
என் காதல் ஓடம்
Do not leave, do not leave,
My heart is innocent and pitiful,
It staggers helplessly in tears,
This boat of my love.
நெஞ்சே....ஏ....ஏ....ஓஒ....ஹோ
கண்கள் ரெண்டும் காதல் சொல்ல
அன்பே நீயோ தள்ளிச் செல்ல
கண்ணைக் கட்டி காட்டில் விட்டால்
அன்பே நானும் எங்கே செல்ல
Oh heart... ae... ae... ooo... hoo
As both my eyes speak of love,
My beloved, why do you walk away?
If I am blindfolded and left in a forest,
My beloved, where can I possibly go?
பார்க்கதே என்னை பார்க்கதே
பார்த்தால் கோபம் கூடும்
பேசாதே ஏதும் பேசாதே
உன்னால் துன்பம் போதும்
நடந்ததெல்லாம் மறந்திடலாம்
மனதினில் காயம் ஆறாதே
இதயத்திலே கீறி விட்டாய்
வலிக்குது பெண்ணே நாளும்
Do not look at me, do not look at me,
If you look, my anger will only grow.
Do not speak, do not say anything,
The distress caused by you is enough.
We could forget everything that happened,
Yet the wound in the heart will not heal.
You have scratched deep into my heart,
It hurts every single day, oh girl.
ஏன் உன்னை பார்த்தேனோ
என்னுள்ளே காயம்
உன் காதல் முள்ளாக
என் நெஞ்சில் பாயும்
Why did I ever lay eyes on you?
There is a deep wound inside me,
Your love, like a sharp thorn,
Will continue to live inside my heart.
நெஞ்சே....ஏ....ஏ....ஓஒ....ஹோ
ஹா.....ஆ.....ஆஅ....ஆ....ஆ...ஆ.....
ஹா.....ஆஅ....ஆஅ.....ஆஅ....ஆஅ.....ஆ....ஆஅ.....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Panivizhum Nilavu' depicts the emotional turmoil, longing, and bitter pain between lovers facing separation and misunderstanding. One protagonist pleads for a second chance, asking the lover to look past misleading circumstances and hear the silent plea of love, comparing their fragile bond to a boat struggling in a sea of tears. In response, the partner expresses deep hurt and anger, lamenting that despite attempting to move on, the emotional scars remain unhealed and that love has turned into a painful thorn lingering in the heart.
