ஒசர பறந்து வா
வெரசாக நீயும் தான்
ஒடஞ்சி கிடக்கிறேன்
புயல் காத்தில் பூவும் தான்
காணாம போச்சே
செவத்த சிரிப்பு தான்
முகம் காட்டு ராசா
இறங்கும் பாரம் தான்
Come flying high,
Swiftly come, you too.
I am lying here broken,
Like a flower caught in a stormy wind.
It has gone missing,
That bright red smile.
Show your face, my king,
So this heavy burden will lighten.
உசுரும் உசுரும் ஏங்குதே
உன்னை தேடி பாக்குதே
திசைய திசைய தேடுதே
புலம்பி சாயுதே
My life and soul are longing,
Searching everywhere for you.
Searching in every direction,
Lamenting and collapsing.
உசுரும் உசுரும் ஏங்குதே
உன்னை தேடி பாக்குதே
திசைய திசைய தேடுதே
புலம்பி சாயுதே
My life and soul are longing,
Searching everywhere for you.
Searching in every direction,
Lamenting and collapsing.
சுழலும் பூமி நரகம் ஆச்சு
தெரிஞ்ச சாமி மறந்து போச்சு
நெறஞ்ச கேணி வறண்டு போச்சு
வா தவிக்கிறேன் தனியா
The spinning earth has turned into hell,
The God I knew has forgotten me,
The full well has completely dried up,
Come, I am suffering alone.
எதிர்க்க யாரும் துணிஞ்சா போதும்
அடங்கிடாத கருப்பு சாமி
குதற ஏறி உசுர பாக்க
நீ சீறி வா
Even if anyone dares to oppose,
Oh unyielding deity Karuppasamy,
Mount your horse to protect this life,
Come charging fiercely!
உசுரும் உசுரும் ஏங்குதே
உன்னை தேடி பாக்குதே
திசைய திசைய தேடுதே
புலம்பி சாயுதே
My life and soul are longing,
Searching everywhere for you.
Searching in every direction,
Lamenting and collapsing.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song is a deeply emotional, folk-infused plea capturing intense grief, helplessness, and an urgent cry for protection. The speaker feels utterly shattered—like a fragile flower trapped in a storm or a well that has completely dried up—as their world turns into a living hell. They search frantically in every direction for their beloved or protector, feeling abandoned even by destiny.

Cultural Allusion & Apostrophe
