பதியே என்
பதியே ஏன் நீங்கினாய்
என்னை அரை நிழலோடு
தான் நான் போகிறேன் விழி
தேடுதே உன்னை
My half, oh 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 சொல்லு
I realize that you are not here
I move forward carrying your memories
Before your fragrance leaves my hands
Tell me, how shall I live without shedding tears?

I wander around like an illusion
Adorning fake smiles on my face
Hiding the agony within me

தொலைகிறேன்
முகமுடியில் வாழ்ந்தபடி
உன்னை பிரிந்து
I am losing my true face
Living life behind a mask
Being separated from you...
நீ இங்கு இல்லை
