|---|---|
| Male | |
| Nerunji mullaa | Like a caltrop thorn, |
| Manasukkulla nirappi ponaalae | She filled inside my heart and left. |
| Ninaippu thee pola | Her memory is like a fire, |
| Male | |
| Usurodainja valiyilathaan | In this soul-shattering pain, |
| Thavichaen thaangaama | I suffered uncontrollably, |
| Thudichaen thoongaama | I writhed in pain without sleep. |
| Male | |
| Antha perazhagu | That supreme beauty, |
| Kannukkulla padamaa irukka | Remains like a picture inside my eyes, |
| Eppai naan kanneerai adhula niraikka | How do I fill it with tears now? |
| Male | |
| Oru vaarththai illaama | Without a single word, |
| Nikkuraen veedhiyila | I stand stranded on the street, |
| Adhu yaennu sollaama | Without explaining why, |
| Thaniyaa ponaalae paathiyila | She left me all alone midway. |
நெருஞ்சி முள்ளா
மனசுக்குள்ள நிரப்பி போனாளே
நினைப்பு தீ போல
Like a caltrop thorn,
She filled inside my heart and left.
Her memory is like a fire,
உசுரொடைஞ்ச வலியிலதான்
தவிச்சேன் தாங்காம
துடிச்சேன் தூங்காம
In this soul-shattering pain,
I suffered uncontrollably,
I writhed in pain without sleep.
அந்த பேரழகு
கண்ணுக்குள்ள படமா இருக்க
எப்படி நான் கண்ணீரை அதுல நிறைக்க
That supreme beauty,
Remains like a picture inside my eyes,
How do I fill it with tears now?
ஒரு வார்த்தை இல்லாம
நிக்குறேன் வீதியில
அது ஏன்னு சொல்லாம
தனியா போனலே பாதியில
Without a single word,
I stand stranded on the street,
Without explaining why,
She left me all alone midway.
Nerunji mullaa
Like a caltrop thorn,
Manasukkulla nirappi ponaalae
She filled inside my heart and left.
Ninaippu thee pola
Her memory is like a fire,
Usurodainja valiyilathaan
In this soul-shattering pain,
Thavichaen thaangaama
I suffered uncontrollably,
Thudichaen thoongaama
I writhed in pain without sleep.
Antha perazhagu
That supreme beauty,
Kannukkulla padamaa irukka
Remains like a picture inside my eyes,
Eppai naan kanneerai adhula niraikka
How do I fill it with tears now?
Oru vaarththai illaama
Without a single word,
Nikkuraen veedhiyila
I stand stranded on the street,
Adhu yaennu sollaama
Without explaining why,
Thaniyaa ponaalae paathiyila
She left me all alone midway.
