{ சாமிகிட்ட
சொல்லிப்புட்டேன்
உன்ன நெஞ்சில்
வச்சி கிட்டேன்
I have told God,
I have kept you in my heart.
ஒத்தயா நீ நானும்
பேசிக்கவே முடியலன்னு
மனசுக்குள்ளே பேசிக்கிட்டோம்
சுத்தமா நீ நானும் பாா்த்துக்கவே
முடியலன்னு கனவுக்குள்ளே
பாா்த்துக்கிட்டோம் } (3)
Having drawn a ten-million-dotted,
Pattern of love in rangoli,
Before even half of it was completed,
Time erased it completely.
If I am born again in another life,
I will be waiting for you...
If even then we must part without uniting,
I will simply cease to be born again...
ஒரு கோடி
புள்ளி வச்ச நான்
போட்ட காதல் கோலம்
ஒரு பாதி முடியும் முன்ன
அழிச்சிருச்சு காலம் காலம்
இன்னொரு ஜென்மம் நான்
மறுபடி பொறந்து வந்து
உனக்காகக் காத்திருப்பேன்
அப்பவும் சேராமல் இருவரும்
பிரியனும்னா பொறக்காமல்
போயிடுவேன்
I have told God...
I have told God...
சாமிகிட்ட
சொல்லிப்புட்டேன்
சாமிகிட்ட
சொல்லிப்புட்டேன்
The moss settled in a temple tank,
Will scatter if a stone is thrown...
But the love settled in the heart's pond,
In which fire can it ever burn away?
Along the path you walked...
Was it pleasant to pass like dry leaves?
All your memories...
Are an unhealing wound inside my heart.
To break past all strict barriers,
This loving heart begs.
தெப்பக் குளத்தில்
படிஞ்ச பாசி கல் எறிஞ்சா
கலையும் கலையும் நெஞ்சக்
குளத்தில் படிஞ்ச காதல்
எந்த நெருப்பில் எரியும்
எரியும் நீ போன பாத மேல
சருக்காக கடந்த சுகமா
உன்னோட ஞாபகம் எல்லாம்
மனசுக்குள்ள இருக்கும் ரனமா
கட்டுக் காவல் மீறி வர
காதல் நெஞ்சு கெஞ்சுதே
If you locked it inside your heart and hid it,
Then why did you smile on the outside?
You played chase inside my dreams,
Yet hesitated when showing real affection.
Go away, you coward of a girl!
Why give these subtle hints?
Gathering this heart where you once resided,
Into which fire should I cast it?
The loving heart that pleaded with you is now thumping in despair.
மனசுக்குள்ள
பூட்டி மறச்ச அப்போ
எதுக்கு வெளியில சிரிச்ச
கனவுக்குள்ள ஓடி புடிச்ச
நெசத்துல தான் தயங்கி
நடிச்ச அடி போடி பயந்தாங்கோலி
எதுக்காக ஊமை ஜாடை நீ இருந்த
மனச அள்ளி எந்த தீயில் நானும்
போட உன்னை என்னை
கேட்டுக்கிட்டா காதல் நெஞ்ச
தட்டிச்சு

The loving heart that pleaded with you is now thumping in despair.
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poignant song depicts a lover's intense grief, eternal devotion, and feelings of betrayal after a failed relationship. The protagonist compares his love to an elaborate, multi-dotted 'kolam' (rangoli) that time cruelly wiped away before it could be completed. He vows to wait for his beloved even in a future birth, adding that if fate separates them again, he would prefer non-existence over living without her.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Naan pootta kaadhal koolam”
Compares love to a complex 'koolam' (rangoli pattern) and the heart to a temple tank ('nenja kulam').
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navitchi)
“Oru koodi pulli vacha”
Exaggerates the grand effort of love by referencing a kolam made with 'a crore of dots' (oru koodi pulli).
Contrast / Imagery
“Theppa kulathil padincha paasi ...”
Juxtaposes physical moss in a pond that can be cleared by throwing a stone against deep love in the heart that no fire can burn away.
