உன் கூட சேர்ந்தா போதும் புள்ள
இன்னும் நான் தாங்க தெம்பு இல்ல
It's enough if I am united with you, my girl.
I don't have the strength to endure any more pain.
உன் கூட சேர்ந்தா போதும் புள்ள
இன்னும் நான் தாங்க தெம்பு இல்ல
It's enough if I am united with you, my girl.
I don't have the strength to endure any more pain.
வார்த்தை இல்ல தீந்தாச்சு
கண்ணீர் கூட காஞ்சாச்சு
அய்யயோ நெஞ்சு சாகும் மெல்ல
மீண்டும் நீ வந்த என்ன கொல்ல
Words are gone, they are completely exhausted.
Even my tears have dried up.
Oh my, my heart is slowly dying.
Have you come again to kill me?
கொஞ்சும் பார்வ என்னாச்சு
மண்ணு குள்ள மண்ணாச்சு
தீராத பாரம் பெண்ணே உள்ள
ஏறாத போதை தந்த மெல்ல
What happened to that playful, loving glance?
It has turned into dust beneath the earth.
An unceasing weight remains inside me, girl.
You slowly gave me an intoxicating feeling like no other.

ஹே......நெஞ்சம் எல்லாம் தீயாச்சு
தூறல் நின்னு போயாச்சு
ஹே......பார்த்து பார்த்து நான் கண்ட
காட்சி எல்லாம் வீணாச்சு
Hey... my whole heart has turned into fire.
The gentle drizzle has completely stopped.
Hey, all the visions I watched and dreamed of...
Every single vision has gone to waste.
வாடி வாடி காதல் பெண்ணே
கண்கள் பார்த்து நாளாச்சு
தாங்கி தாங்கி ஏங்கி ஏங்கி
விட்ட மூச்சு சூடாச்சு
Come to me, come my beloved girl.
It has been days since our eyes met.
Enduring endlessly, longing endlessly,
The breath I let out has turned hot.
காதல் என்னும் நோயாச்சு
தேனும் கல்லும் ஒன்னாச்சு
நானும் நீயும் வேறாச்சு
வாழ்க்கை மாறி போயாச்சு
It has become a disease called love.
Honey and stone have become one.
You and I have separated.
My life has changed completely.
எங்கேதான் போவேன் சொல்லு புள்ள
வானத்தில் நிலா இல்ல இல்ல
எங்க போனா அம்மடி
எட்டு திக்கும் நீ தான்டி
அய்யயோ நெஞ்சு சாகும் மெல்ல
மீண்டும் நீ வந்த என்ன கொல்ல
Tell me, where will I go, girl?
There is no moon in the sky, no moon.
Where did you go, my dear girl?
You are everywhere in all eight directions.
Oh my, my heart is slowly dying.
Have you come again to kill me?
Un kooda saernthaa pothum pulla
It's enough if I am united with you, my girl.
Innum naan thaanga thembu illa
I don't have the strength to endure any more pain.
Un kooda saernthaa pothum pulla
It's enough if I am united with you, my girl.
Innum naan thaanga thembu illa
I don't have the strength to endure any more pain.
Vaarththai illa theenthaachchu
Words are gone, they are completely exhausted.
Kanneer kooda kaanjaachchu
Even my tears have dried up.
Aiyyayo nenju saagum mella
Oh my, my heart is slowly dying.
Meendum nee vantha enna kolla
Have you come again to kill me?
Konjum paarva ennaachchu
What happened to that playful, loving glance?
Mannukkulla mannachchu
It has turned into dust beneath the earth.
Theeraatha baaram pennae ulla
An unceasing weight remains inside me, girl.
Yaeraatha bodhai thantha mella
You slowly gave me an intoxicating feeling like no other.
