பாடல் ஆசிரியர் : அறிவு
On an incomprehensible path
I walk unknowingly
In a love that has not drenched me
I see the depth of the ocean
புரியாத பாதையில்
அறியாமல் போகிறேன்
நனையாத காதலில்
கடல் ஆழம் காண்கிறேன்
Just to see your face
My heart longs
In the opposing wind
I hear your voice
முகம் பார்க்க தான்
மனம் ஏங்குறேன்
எதிர் காற்றிலே
உன் குரல் கேக்குறேன்
Hey cloud that pushes the train
Hey crow that caresses the rain
The intoxication of love that touches the soul
ஹே ரயிலை தள்ளும் மேகமே
மழையை கொஞ்சும் காகமே
உயிரை தீண்டும் காதல் போதமே
Hey, I go in search of her
I burn in the fire of worry,
Appearing in dreams, I become a mirage
ஹே அவளை தேடி போகிறேன்
கவலை தீயில் வேகிறேன்
கனவில் தோன்றி கானல் ஆகிறேன்
The sky within two eyelids
You and I are opposite poles
Your shadow continues there
My eyes search for you daily
இமை ரெண்டில் வானம்
துருவங்கள் நீயும் நானும்
தொடரும் உன் நிழல் அங்கே
கண் நிதமும் உன்னை தேடும்
Journeys will lengthen
Seasons will change their path
Only at the moment of parting
Our affection multiplies
பயணங்கள் நீளும்
பருவங்கள் பாதை மாறும்
பிரிகின்ற பொழுதில் தான்
நம் பிரியங்கள் கூடும்
Going along the path the bird travels
As time extends its wings
The sky where dusk settles
I see in solitude
பறவை போகும் பாதை போக
சிறகு நீளும் காலம் கூட
பொழுது சாயும் வானம்
நான் காண்கிறேன் தனிமையிலே
Going on the path she travels
I wither without understanding
On one evening, I slump down
In solitude
அவள் போகும் பாதை போக
புரியாமல் நானும் வாட
ஒரு சாயங்காலம் நான் சாய்கிறேன்
தனிமையிலே
Hey cloud that pushes the train
Hey crow that caresses the rain
The intoxication of love that touches the soul
ஹே ரயிலை தள்ளும் மேகமே
மழையை கொஞ்சும் காகமே
உயிரை தீண்டும் காதல் போதமே
Hey, I go in search of her
I burn in the fire of worry,
Appearing in dreams, I become a mirage
ஹே அவளை தேடி போகிறேன்
கவலை தீயில் வேகிறேன்
கனவில் தோன்றி கானல் ஆகிறேன்
Hey cloud that pushes the train
Hey crow that caresses the rain
The intoxication of love that touches the soul
ஹே ரயிலை தள்ளும் மேகமே
மழையை கொஞ்சும் காகமே
உயிரை தீண்டும் காதல் போதமே

Hey crow that caresses the rain

The intoxication of love that touches the soul

Hey, I go in search of her
Kavalai theeyil vegirean,
I burn in the fire of worry,
Kanavil thondri kaanal aagirean
Appearing in dreams, I become a mirage

The sky within two eyelids

You and I are opposite poles
Thodarum un nizhal ange
Your shadow continues there
Kan nidhamum unnai thedum

Going on the path she travels

Hey cloud that pushes the train
Mazhaiyai konjum kaagame
Hey crow that caresses the rain
Uyirai theendum kadhal bodhame
The intoxication of love that touches the soul
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song captures the bittersweet ache of longing, distance, and emotional turmoil experienced by a lover searching for his partner. The protagonist feels adrift on an unfamiliar path, torn between the comforting memory of love and the burning pain of separation. Through surreal imagery connecting human emotions to nature, the lyrics illustrate how separation paradoxically deepens love, even as solitude weighs heavily upon the soul.
