♫ Tanglish lyrics
↻ English translation
Poo maa thendral
Aadudhae kora thandavam
Vaazhvilae kodi boogambam
Nodiyilae naan
Yedhedho maatram kaangiren
Mudivilae naan
Ketkaadha tholvi vaanginen
Aanaal kaadhal vazhudhae
Theera kaadhal theerudhae
Aadudhae kora thandavam
Vaazhvilae kodi boogambam
Kaayamae pala maayamae
Idho idho enakae
Podhumae idhu podhumae
Vidamalae irukkae
Siluvaigal sumandhitta
Valigalum theeradho
Kodumaigal thurathiya
Kulavigal veezhadho
Yaaro naanaagiren
Yeno naan vaazhgiren
Aadudhae kora thandavam
Vaazhvilae kodi boogambam
A sweet, gentle breeze
Dances a fierce dance of destruction
A million earthquakes strike my life
In just a single moment!
I am seeing all kinds of changes
In the end, I...
Suffered a defeat I never asked for
Yet love still lives on!
An endless love is coming to an end!
Dances a fierce dance of destruction
A million earthquakes strike my life
Wounds and so many illusions
Are right here, happening to me
Enough! This is more than enough!
Yet it refuses to let me go
From carrying all these crosses,
Won't this pain ever end?
Chased by relentless cruelty,
Won't these stinging hornets fall?
I am turning into a stranger to myself
I don't know why I still live on
Dances a fierce dance of destruction
A million earthquakes strike my life

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song captures the deep pain, betrayal, and emotional turmoil of the protagonist.

The speaker reflects on how rapidly their world changed, forcing them to bear unexpected defeats and lingering suffering despite enduring endless emotional crosses. The lyrics depict a profound existential crisis where love crumbles, identity dissolves, and life feels like an inexplicable burden.
