நான் எழுதிய கதையினை
யார் தொலைத்தது என் இரவினை
போகாத தூரம் காதல் தூரம் போக
நீயாக தாண்டி வானம் தாண்டி போக
பேசாத காற்றே கால வீசி போக
தூவாத மேகம் தோலை தட்டி போக
போகாத தூரம் காதல் தூரம் போக
நீயாக தாண்டி வானம் தாண்டி போக
பேசாத காற்றே கால வீசி போக
தூவாத மேகம் தோலை தட்டி போக
The story that I wrote,
Who lost my night?
To go untraveled distances, distances of stories,
To cross as yourself, crossing beyond the sky,
Oh silent wind, blowing time away,
Oh cloud that does not rain, knocking from afar,
To go untraveled distances, distances of stories,
To cross as yourself, crossing beyond the sky,
Oh silent wind, blowing time away,
Oh cloud that does not rain, knocking from afar,
நான் இங்கு விதியின் விலியில் விழுந்து போக
யார் இங்கு கதையின் முடிவை மாற்றி போக
வான் இங்கு தூக்கம் கெட்டு தொலைந்து போக
பேர் அன்பு கனவு வெளிச்சம் காட்டும் ..ம்ம்ம்
As I fall here as a victim to the price of fate,
Who here will change the outcome of destiny?
As the sky loses its sleep and gets lost here,
Immense love and dreams will show the light...
ஹே கனா காணும் நேரம்
ஹே கனா காணும் நேரம்
Hey, it is the time of dreaming dreams,
Hey, it is the time of dreaming dreams,
ஹே கனா காணும் நேரம்
ஹே கனா காணும் நேரம்
Hey, it is the time of dreaming dreams,
Hey, it is the time of dreaming dreams
Naan eluthiya en kadhaiyinai
The story that I wrote,
Yaar tholaithathu en iravinai
Who lost my night?
Pogatha dhooram kadha dhooram poga
To go untraveled distances, distances of stories,
Neeyaaga thaandi vaanam thaandi poga
To cross as yourself, crossing beyond the sky,
Pesadha kaatre kaala veesi poga
Oh silent wind, blowing time away,
Thoovadha megam tholai thatti poga
Oh cloud that does not rain, knocking from afar,
Pogatha dhooram kadha dhooram poga
To go untraveled distances, distances of stories,
Neeyaaga thaandi vaanam thaandi poga
To cross as yourself, crossing beyond the sky,
Pesadha kaatre kaala veesi poga
Oh silent wind, blowing time away,
Thoovadha megam tholai thatti poga
Oh cloud that does not rain, knocking from afar,
Naan ingu vidhiyin vilaiyil vilundhu poga
As I fall here as a victim to the price of fate,
Yaar ingu kadhiyin mudivai maatri poga
Who here will change the outcome of destiny?
Vaan ingu thookam kettu tholaindhu poga
As the sky loses its sleep and gets lost here,
Per anbu kanavu velicham kaattum..mmm
Immense love and dreams will show the light...
Hey kanaa kanoom neram
Hey, it is the time of dreaming dreams,
Hey kanaa kanoom neram
Hey, it is the time of dreaming dreams,

Hey, it is the time of dreaming dreams,
Hey kanaa kanoom neram
Hey, it is the time of dreaming dreams
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song captures a profound sense of existential contemplation, emotional longing, and struggle against destiny. The narrator reflects on their own life story and the sleep lost to hardship, feeling constrained by fate. Despite feeling lost in darkness, the lyricist clings to the belief that vast love and dreams will eventually guide the way through the night.
