Don't go,
My heart, I beg of you,
Don't go, please don't go.
Don't look,
My eyes, I ask you to close,
Don't look, oh don't look.
Why do wings
Spread wide toward the sky
And fly up so high?
Why have all worries
Scattered into the breeze
And vanished away?
Into my innocent heart,
A sweet deceit steps in.
Even so, a mischievous
Joy wells up inside.
The rainbow
Is nowhere to be seen,
All its seven colors
Are not enough.
Should these paintings fade away?
A gentle breeze
Is nowhere to be found.
The words of the wind
That came searching for me,
Can I believe they are true?
Lightning patterns fill the sky,
Golden clouds shower honey.
When I open my eyes,
It is only a dream.
You came caring like a mother,
Why did you shower me with so much love?
Whenever I close my eyes,
All I see is your face, oh...
Today my feet
Are not on the ground,
Both my steps
Do not touch the earth.
Only the sky above
Is the boundary to reach.
My hands here
Are beyond my control,
Bound by restraint
They will not stay still.
This desire to embrace
Is a sweet trouble.
Don't go,
My heart, I beg of you,
Don't go, please don't go.
Don't look,
My eyes, I ask you to close,
Don't look, oh don't look.
Why do wings
Spread wide toward the sky
And fly up so high?
Why have all worries
Scattered into the breeze
And vanished away?
Into my innocent heart,
A sweet deceit steps in.
Even so, a mischievous
Joy wells up inside.
The rainbow
Is nowhere to be seen,
All its seven colors
Are not enough.
Should these paintings fade away?
A gentle breeze
Is nowhere to be found.
The words of the wind
That came searching for me,
Can I believe they are true?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Pogadhey' from the film 'Nadhi' (2022) is an emotionally rich track depicting a protagonist caught between self-restraint and the intoxicating surge of affection. She pleads with her own heart and eyes to refrain from falling further, feeling both vulnerable and exalted. The lyrics vividly describe her feelings of weightlessness and floating in a dreamlike reality where motherly warmth, innocence, and deep romantic longing entwine.
