காதல் கதை ஒன்று சொல்வேன்
கதையின் முடிவை நீ சொல்வாயா
கடைசி மூச்சு என் மார்பில் என்றாய்
ஏனோ அவளோடு நீ சென்றாய்
முட்டாள்தனம் அது
காதல் அளக்கும் நேரம் வந்தது
I will tell a love story
Will you tell the end of the story?
You said your last breath would be on my chest
Yet why did you leave with her?
That was utter foolishness
The time to measure love has arrived
டூ யூ ரியலி லவ் மீ ? சொல்லு
பொய் சொன்னா பொசுக்கிடுவேன்
எவ்ளோ யு லவ் மீ ?
டூ யூ ரியலி லவ் மீ ? டூ யூ ரியலி லவ் மீ ?
Do you really love me? Tell me...
If you lie, I will burn you to ashes
How much do you love me?
Do you really love me?
Do you really love me?
பொய் சொன்னா பொசுக்கிடுவேன்
பொசுக்கிடுவேன் பொசுக்கிடுவேன்
சொல்லு எவ்ளோ யு லவ் மீ ?
If you lie, I will burn you to ashes
I will burn you up, I will burn you up
Tell me, how much do you love me?
தோழா தோழா காதல் எங்கே
ஹான் தோழா நீ தந்த வாக்கும் எங்கே
தோழா தோழா நீயும் எங்கே
தோழா தோழா காதல் எங்கே
Friend, friend, where is love?
Ah friend, where is the promise you gave?
Friend, friend, where are you too?
Friend, friend, where is love?
முத்தங்கள் போதாதோ கேளாயோ தோழா
பரிசாய் பொழிவேன்
முத்தங்கள் யாவும் தோட்டாக்களாய்
Aren't kisses enough? Listen to me, friend
I will shower them as a gift
All the kisses turn into bullets
சொல்லு சொல்லு மெய்யைச் சொல்லு
இல்லேன்னா மகனே நான்
பொசு பொசு பொசுக்கிடுவேன்
Tell me, tell me, tell the truth
Otherwise, my dear, I will...
Burn, burn, burn you up
தோழா தோழா காதல் எங்கே
ஹான் தோழா நீ தந்த வாக்கும் எங்கே
தோழா தோழா நீயும் எங்கே ஹான்
தோழா தோழா காதல் எங்கே
Friend, friend, where is love?
Ah friend, where is the promise you gave?
Friend, friend, where are you too?
Ah friend, friend, where is love?
இன்னும் உனக்காய் என்நெஞ்சம் துடிக்க
ஆனால் உனக்கு அவளைப் பிடிக்க
கண்ணா காதல்கொண்டு மீண்டும் வா
போதும் நான் உன்னை மன்னிப்பேன்
நேற்றின் காயம் யாவும் இன்று
நாமும் மறப்போமா வா
My heart still throbs for you
But you like her
My darling, come back with love
Enough, I will forgive you
All of yesterday's wounds today
Shall we forget them? Come
வா கால்கள் பின்னிக் கொள்வோம் வா
நாம் ஒன்றாய் அட்டிக்கொள்வோம் வா
உன் காதல் ஆழம் என்ன காட்டோயோ
Come, let us entwine our feet, come
Let us stick close together, come
Won't you show the depth of your love?
டூ யூ ரியலி லவ் மீ ?
பொய் சொன்னா பொசுக்கிடுவேன்
எவ்ளோ யு லவ் மீ ?
டூ யூ ரியலி லவ் மீ ? டூ யூ ரியலி லவ் மீ ?
டூ யூ ரியலி லவ் மீ ?
Do you really love me? Tell me...
If you lie, I will burn you to ashes
How much do you love me?

Do you really love me?
Do you really love me?
பொய் சொன்னா பொசுக்கிடுவேன்
பொசுக்கிடுவேன் பொசுக்கிடுவேன்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This track from '99 Songs' portrays a feisty, passionate lover confronting her partner after feeling hurt and betrayed. She demands absolute honesty about his feelings after he seemingly drifted towards someone else, despite his previous promises of eternal togetherness. The lyrics balance intense possessiveness with a lingering willingness to forgive him if he returns with sincere devotion. Using a blend of quirky threats—such as turning kisses into bullets and burning him if he lies—the song portrays a complex mix of vulnerability, anger, playful aggression, and deep affection. It explores the chaotic emotional spectrum of love, heartbreak, and desperate longing for reconciliation.
