Stuttering, hiccuping, mocking, and unceasing, oh dear...
ஆதரவா அவ
தான் இருந்தா ஏதும்
சொல்லிடாம இப்போ
எங்க பறந்தா
As my support...
She alone was there
Without saying anything now
Where did she fly away to...
நாள் முழுசும்
கதைதான் அளந்தா
அத நம்பினேனே
என்ன ஏன்டா மறந்தா
All day long
She spun tall tales...
I believed all that, why
Did she forget me, oh dear...
அழகு போல
துள்ளி வந்த தேரு
அவ விலகிப்போவ
ஆச்சே சுக்குநூறு பழகி
மோசம் செஞ்சி புட்டா
பாரு இதை மனசிலேந்தி
திருந்த வேணும் ஊரு
The street where she bounced like beauty personified...
When she stepped away, it broke into pieces
Look how she bonded and then betrayed me
Bearing this in mind
The whole town needs to learn a lesson...
புத்துல நா ஊத்தி
வெச்சேன் காதல் பாலதான்
கொத்திப்புட்டு போய்ட்டாளே
பாம்ப போலத்தான்
I poured inside the anthill
The milk of love...
She bit me and went away
Just like a snake
பச்சி பறந்திரிச்சி
மனச பிச்சி எறிஞ்சிருச்சு
காதல் பச்சி பறந்திரிச்சி
மனச பிச்சி எறிஞ்சிருச்சு
The bird has flown away
Tearing my heart apart and tossing it away...
The bird of love has flown away
Tearing my heart apart and tossing it away...
.............................
என் மனச
அவதான் கலச்சா
அவ அப்பனால
என்ன தட்டி கழிச்சா
My heart
She was the one who disturbed it...
Because of her father
She brushed me aside...
நாடியில நரம்பா
துடிச்சா நா நெருங்கி
போவ நெஞ்ச ஏறி மிதிச்சா
In my pulse
She throbbed like a nerve
When I went close to her
She stepped on my heart and trampled it...
குறும்பு பேச்சில்
நித்தம் செஞ்ச சேட்டை
இப்போ விலகுடான்னு
பொரட்டிட்டாலே ஏட்டா
அவளுக்காக கட்டி வச்சேன்
கூட்ட அவ அவசரத்துல
கொளித்திட்டாளே காட்ட
She played pranks daily with naughty words
Now she rolled away far, asking me to step aside
For her sake, I built a nest
In her haste, she set fire to the forest...
பாத்து பாத்து
காதலிச்சேன் சேர்ந்து
வாழத்தான் பாவிப்புள்ள
சேதம் செஞ்சா பாழா
போகத்தான்
I loved her with utmost care
Hoping to live together
That sinful girl ruined everything
Only to go to waste...
பச்சி பறந்திரிச்சி
மனச பிச்சி எறிஞ்சிருச்சு
காதல் பச்சி பறந்திரிச்சி
மனச பிச்சி எறிஞ்சிருச்சு
The bird has flown away
Tearing my heart apart and tossing it away...
The bird of love has flown away
Tearing my heart apart and tossing it away...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses the deep pain, grief, and sense of betrayal experienced by a young lover whose partner abandoned him. Using vivid rural metaphors—such as a bird flying away from its nest or a snake biting after being fed milk—the protagonist laments how his innocent trust was broken. He describes how his once-vibrant life shattered into pieces after her departure influenced by external factors like her family. Despite the heartbreak, the lyrics carry a rhythmic and catchy folk quality, blending tragic romantic despair with lighthearted colloquialisms and cautionary lines about the perils of falling in love. It warns others about the vulnerabilities of love and the emotional damage left in the wake of sudden rejection.
