| Kanneerilaamal pokkuven nee sol | Tell me how I can spend my days without shedding tears. |

பதியே என்
பதியே ஏன் நீங்கினாய்
என்னை அரை நிழலோடு
தான் நான் போகிறேன் விழி
தேடுதே உன்னை
Oh my husband, my partner,
Why did you leave me?
I walk along with only half a shadow,
My eyes keep searching for you.
நீ இங்கு இல்லை
உணர்கிறேன் உன் நினைவில்
நகர்கிறேன் என் கைகளில் உன்
வாசனை போகாமலே கண்ணீர்
இல்லாமல் போக்குவேன் நீ சொல்
I realize you are not here,
I move forward carrying your memory.
Without the fragrance of you fading from my hands,
Tell me how I can spend my days without shedding tears.

போலியாய்
அலைகிறேன் புன்னகைகள்
அணிந்தபடி வேதனைகள்
மறைத்தபடி
I wander around feeling hollow and fake,
Adorning forced smiles,
Concealing all my deep pain,
என் முகம்
தொலைகிறேன்
முகமுடியில் வாழ்ந்தபடி
உன்னை பிரிந்து
I am losing my own identity,
Living behind a mask.
Having been separated from you...
நீ இங்கு இல்லை
உணர்கிறேன் உன் நினைவில்
நகர்கிறேன் என் கைகளில் உன்
வாசனை போகாமலே கண்ணீர்
இல்லாமல் போக்குவேன் நீ சொல்

I move forward carrying your memory.
Without the fragrance of you fading from my hands,
Tell me how I can spend my days without shedding tears.
