Oruthi en nejukulla adichutta
Adichu ennaiyum ippo tholachitta
Sirichu en sirippellam thiruditta

Vazhi maari ippo ponaale

A girl struck deep into my heart
Striking me, she made me lose myself
With her smile, she stole all my smiles away
And dissolved away like a dream
She came close and held my palm
Then let go of my hand and flew away
Flying away, she forgot all about my love
Now I am left yearning in pain
I was left all alone
She came as my companion
I gave her my hand to hold
Yet she walked past and left me behind
She gave me one half of love
As for the other half...
She changed her path and walked away
Leaving me suffering in agony
A girl struck deep into my heart
Striking me, she made me lose myself
With her smile, she stole all my smiles away
And dissolved away like a dream
I tried to hate you
Hating myself, I suffered in pain
I thought of you as my own eyes
Yet you faded away like a dream
I shut the doors of my heart
And sowed only you within
You flew so far away
And I was completely shattered
To cross beyond the shore, you...
Gave me a blessing
Yet I got lost in the middle of the sea
And you vanished, my little star
I felt the comforting scent of a mother's womb in your room
Yet you wrapped me in the darkness of a grave and left
Male
Male
Male

Oruthi en nejukulla adichutta / Adichu ennaiyum ippo tholachitta / Sirichu en sirippellam thiruditta

The line endings 'adichutta', 'tholachitta', and 'thiruditta' feature matching rhythmic end sounds (Iyaipu), creating a lyrical flow.

Muran (Antithesis/Contrast)

Karuvariyin vasathai undhan araiyil paarthen / Kallaraiyin iruttai nee katti ponaaye

Stark contrast between 'Karuvarai' (womb/life) and 'Kallarai' (grave/death) highlights the transition from absolute comfort to unbearable grief.

Metaphor

Maraindhaaye vinmeene

The beloved is metaphorically addressed as a 'vinmeen' (star) who shone brightly but has now vanished into the dark sky.

Anaphora / Sequential Linking

Pudichu en kaiya vittu parandhitta / Parandhu en kaadhalathaan maranthutta

The starting word of the second line ('Parandhu') picks up from the ending verb of the previous line, creating an interconnected emotional narrative.
