நீ தந்த காதல்
நிரந்தரம் இல்லையே
நீ தந்த வலி மட்டும்
நிரந்தரம் ஆனதேன்
The love you gave
Is not permanent
Only the pain you gave
Has become permanent
நீ தந்த காதல்
நிரந்தரம் இல்லையே
நீ தந்த வலி மட்டும்
நிரந்தரம் ஆனதேன்
The love you gave
Is not permanent
Only the pain you gave
Has become permanent
அநியாயம் பெண்ணே நீ போனது
என்னை கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சம் நீ கொன்னது
என் பாட்டின் வரி நீ தான்
நீ போனபின் இசை மட்டும் தானே
It is unfair, girl, that you left
That you killed me bit by bit
You were the lyrics of my song
Now that you are gone, only the music remains
தனிமை என்னோடு நிலை
நீ விட்டு சென்ற நினைவுகள் தங்கும் வரை
இரவெல்லாம் நீளும் நிலை
ஏன் டி தந்த இது காதல் கேட்கும் விலை
Solitude is my constant state
As long as the memories you left behind remain
The nights seem to drag on endlessly
Why did you give this? Is this the price love demands?
ரெண்டு வருஷமா என்ன தொலைச்சேன்
இது வேஷமா... எண்ணி தொலைஞ்சேன்
யார் கூடவோ நீ வாழ
ஏன்டி என்னை கொன்ன
I lost myself for two years
Thinking it was all real, I ended up lost in illusion
Just for you to live with someone else
Why did you kill me, girl?
அநியாயம் பெண்ணே நீ போனது
என்னை கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சம் நீ கொன்னது
என் பாட்டின் வரி நீ தான்
நீ போனபின் இசை மட்டும் தானே
It is unfair, girl, that you left
That you killed me bit by bit
You were the lyrics of my song
Now that you are gone, only the music remains
நீ தந்த காதல்
நிரந்தரம் இல்லையே
நீ தந்த வலி மட்டும்
நிரந்தரம் ஆனதேன்
The love you gave
Is not permanent
Only the pain you gave
Has become permanent
போ மாட்டேன் போ மாட்டேன் ன்னு சொன்ன
உன் குரல் தான் கொஞ்சுது அவன
போடி உன் காதல் தேவை இல்ல
நா வாழ முடியாது உன் நெஞ்சில்
என் இசை வாழும் புள்ள
You said 'I won't go, I won't go'
Yet your voice now sweet-talks him
Go away girl, I don't need your love
Even if I cannot live in your heart
My music will live there forever, girl
அநியாயம் பெண்ணே நீ போனது
என்னை கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சம் நீ கொன்னது
என் பாட்டின் வரி நீதான்
நீ போனபின் இசை மட்டும் தானே
It is unfair, girl, that you left
That you killed me bit by bit
You were the lyrics of my song
Now that you are gone, only the music remains
போனா... தோழி எதையோ தேடி
போனா... தோழி எதையோ தேடி
போனா... தோழி எதையோ தேடி
போனா... தோழி எதையோ தேடி
போனா...
Gone... my beloved seeking something
Gone... my beloved seeking something
Gone... my beloved seeking something
Gone... my beloved seeking something
Gone...
