நீ போகாத
என்ன விட்டு என்
கண்ணே உன் முன்னே
என் உசுர தவியா தவிக்க
விட்டுப்புட்டு
Don't go leaving me behind
My dear, right in front of your eyes
Leaving my life to suffer in deep anguish
Having abandoned me

விட்டுப்புட்டு
Don't go leaving me behind
My dear, right in front of your eyes
Leaving my life to suffer in deep anguish
Having abandoned me
{ ஒரு மரம்
அது வேறாக பொழப்புது
போலிங்கு ஆனேனே
உன்னால் பெண்ணே
உயிர் வலி அது என்னென்று
நான் கண்டுகொண்டேனே
உன்னாலே பெண்ணே
பெண்ணே } (2)
Like a tree that is reduced to firewood
So has my existence become here because of you, girl
I have been reduced to this state because of you, girl
What real soul-deep pain feels like
I have finally realized today
Because of you, oh girl, oh girl
நீ போகாத

உன்னவிட பூமியில
எல்லாமுமே வீணோ
வீணோ } (2)
For the first time, a mistake occurred
I wonder why I changed like this too
More than you, on this earth
Everything else feels completely useless and wasted
காலம் இங்க
தீரும் வரை காக்க
வச்சு போற ஆசை
அத தந்துப்புட்டு
ஏனோ தள்ளிப் போற
கொல்லாம
கொல்லாம என்னக்
கொல்லாத
Until time runs out here
You keep me waiting and leave
Having sparked this desire in me
Why do you move far away
Female: Without killing me once and for all
Don't torment and kill me slowly
