ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்.....
போ போ என்
இதயம் தரையில்
விழுந்து சிதறி போகட்டும்
போ போ என்
நிழலும் பிரிந்து
என்னை தனிமை ஆக்கட்டும்
[Humming]
Go, go, let my
heart fall onto the ground
and shatter into pieces.
Go, go, let my
shadow depart
and leave me in solitude.
கோவம் உன் கோவம்
என் நெஞ்சை கொன்று போக....
கண்கள் என் கண்கள்
கண்ணீரில் நினையுதே
Your anger, as your anger
goes on killing my heart..
My eyes, my eyes
are soaked in tears.
போதும் போதும்
எப்போதும் உன் நினைவுகள்
பாவம் என் உள்ளம்
சொல்லாமல் கரையுதே
Enough, enough,
your memories are always present.
My poor heart,
melts silently without expressing.
ஹோ ஓ ஹா ஆ
காயத்தை கண்கொண்டு
பார்த்திட முடியும்
வழியை கண்டிட கண்கள் இல்லை....
காற்றினை கை நீட்டி
தீண்டிட முடியும்
ஓவியம் ஆக்கிட ஏதுமில்லை
Hoo ooo haa aaa
A wound can be seen
with the eyes,
but there are no eyes to see pain..
Reaching out one's hand,
one can touch the wind,
but there is no way to turn it into a painting.
காதல் மழலையின்
வார்த்தை அல்லவா
சொன்னால் புரிவது
கஷ்டம் அல்லவா
Isn't love like the words
of an infant?
Isn't it difficult to comprehend
when explained?
ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்.....
போ போ என்
இதயம் தரையில்
விழுந்து சிதறி போகட்டும்
போ போ என்
நிழலும் பிரிந்து
என்னை தனிமை ஆக்கட்டும்
Go, go, let my
heart fall onto the ground
and shatter into pieces.
Go, go, let my
shadow depart
and leave me in solitude.
ஏனோ என்னை மட்டும்
வாழ்க்கை கொல்லுதடி
நான்தான் என்ன செய்ய
எல்லாம் கை வந்து
போகுதடி...ஹோ ஓ ஆஆஆ....
ஹா...ஆ....ஆ....ஆ....
Why does life seem to
kill only me, my dear?
What can I possibly do
when everything comes within reach
and then slips away.. hoo ooo aaaa…
Haa…aa….aa…aa…
நீ என் அருகிலே
இருந்த போது பறந்தவன்
நீ என் தொலைவிலே
பிறந்தபோது சிதைந்தவன்
போதும் உன்னாலே
தூள் தூளாய் உடைகிறேன்
போதும் உன்னாலே
என்னோடு அழுகிறேன்
When you were beside me,
I was someone who flew high.
When you were far away in separation,
I became completely shattered.
Enough, because of you
I am breaking into tiny pieces.
Enough, because of you
I cry alone with myself.
ஏதும் என்னோடு
இல்லாமல் போகட்டும்
நீ என் கைகோர்த்து
வாழ்ந்தால் போதுமே....
ஹேஹ்....எஹ்ஹ ஹூ....
Let everything I possess
vanish into nothingness.
If you just hold my hand
and live with me, that alone is enough..
Heehh …ehh hooo…
Hmm mmm..

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Po Po Yen is a deeply emotional independent Tamil song featuring the soulful voice of Sid Sriram and lyrics by Mohan Rajan. The song captures the profound anguish of a protagonist coping with heart-wrenching heartbreak, emotional distance, and loneliness. The protagonist pleads for his shattered heart and shadow to leave him alone as his lover's anger continuously hurts his soul. Through evocative metaphors, the lyrics contrast visible physical injuries with invisible internal pain, comparing love to the enigmatic babble of an infant that defies easy explanation. Ultimately, the song portrays a lover willing to forfeit everything in life as long as they can hold hands and walk together with their beloved.
