சிறகுகள் வந்தது
எங்கோ செல்ல இரவுகள்
தீர்ந்தது கண்ணில் மெல்ல
நினைவுகள் ஏங்குது உன்னை
காணவே
Wings have grown to fly somewhere
Nights slowly ended in my eyes
Memories yearn to see you
கனவுகள் பொங்குது
எதிலே அள்ள வலிகளும்
சேர்ந்தது உள்ளே கிள்ள
சுகங்களும் கூடுது உன்னை
தேடியே
Dreams overflow, with what can I gather them?
Pain joins in to pinch from within
Joys increase searching for you
உன்னை உன்னை
தாண்டி செல்ல கொஞ்ச
காலம் கொஞ்ச தூரம்
கொஞ்ச நேரம் கூட
என்னால் ஆகுமோ
To go beyond you
For a little time, a little distance
Or even a short moment, can I manage?
உன்னை உன்னை
தேடி தானே இந்த ஏக்கம்
இந்த பாதை இந்த பயணம்
இந்த வாழ்க்கை ஆனதோ
Searching only for you
This longing, this path, this
Journey, has my life become this?
கனவுகள் பொங்குது
எதிலே அள்ள வலிகளும்
சேர்ந்தது உள்ளே கிள்ள
சுகங்களும் கூடுது
உன்னை தேடியே
Dreams overflow, with what can I gather them?
Pain joins in to pinch from within
Joys increase searching for you
ஆஆ ஆஆ ஆஆ
ஆஆஹா ஆஆஹா
ஆஆஹா ஆஆஹா
Aaahhh... aahh... aaahh...
Aahhaah.. aaahhaah.. aaahhah
Aaaaahaaahhhh....
ஓ நதியே நீ எங்கே
என்று கரைகள் தேட கூடாதா
நிலவே நீ எங்கே என்று
முகில்கள் தேட கூடாதா
Oh river, asking where you are
Can't the riverbanks search for you?
Moon, asking where you are
Can't the clouds search for you?
ஓ மழை இரவினில்
குயிலின் கீதம் துடிப்பதை
யார் அறிவார் கடல் மடியினில்
கிடக்கும் பலரின் கனவுகள்
யார் அறிவார்
Oh, on a rainy night, the song of a cuckoo
Who knows its throbbing pain?
Lying in the lap of the ocean
Who knows the dreams of many lying there?
அழகே நீ எங்கிருக்கிறாய்
வலித்தால் அன்பே நீ அங்கிருக்கிறாய்
உயிரே நீ என்ன செய்கிறாய்
உயிரின் உள்ளே வந்து செல்கிறாய்
Oh beauty, where are you?
When it hurts, my love, you are right there
My life, what are you doing?
You keep entering and leaving my soul
அன்பே எந்தன்
நெஞ்சம் எங்கே பூவின்
உள்ளே நிலவின் மேலே
தீயின் கீழே காற்றின்
வெளியே இல்லையே
My love, where is my heart?
Inside a flower.. above the moon..
Beneath the fire..
Outside the wind, it is not there..
உந்தன் கண்ணில்
உந்தன் மூச்சில் உந்தன்
இரவில் உந்தன் நெஞ்சில்
உந்தன் கையில் உந்தன்
உயிரில் உள்ளதே
In your eyes, in your breath
In your night, in your heart
In your hands, in your soul, it resides..
ஓஹ்.......எனக்கே நான் சுமையாய் மாறி
என்னை சுமந்து வந்தேனே
உனக்கே நான் நிழலாய் மாறி
உன்னை தேடி வந்தேனே
Ohhhhh... Becoming a burden to myself
I came carrying myself..
Becoming a shadow for you
I came searching for you..
விழி நனைந்திடும் நேரம் பார்த்து
இமை விலகி விடாது
உயிர் துடித்திடும் உன்னை
எந்தன் உயிர் ஒதுக்கி விடாது
Watching the moment eyes get soaked
The eyelids will not drift apart
Throbbing with life, my soul
Will not push you away
உலகம் ஒரு புள்ளி ஆகுதே
நெஞ்சம் எங்கோ மிதந்து போகுதே
உயிரில் ஒரு பூ வெடிக்குதே
சுகமோ வழியோ எல்லை மீறுதே....
The world is becoming a single dot..
My heart is floating away somewhere..
A flower explodes within my soul..
Whether pleasure or pain, it crosses all boundaries..
சிறகுகள் வந்தது
எங்கோ செல்ல இரவுகள்
தீர்ந்தது கண்ணில் மெல்ல
நினைவுகள் ஏங்குது உன்னை
காணவே
Wings have grown to fly somewhere
Nights slowly ended in my eyes
Memories yearn to see you
ஒரு இமை எங்கிலும்
தேனில் மூழ்க ஒரு இமை
மாத்திரம் வலியில் நோக
இடையினில் எப்படி கனவும்
காணுமோ
Even if one eyelid drowns in honey
And one eyelid hurts in pain
How can dreams be dreamt in between?
உன்னை உன்னை
தாண்டி செல்ல கொஞ்ச
காலம் கொஞ்ச தூரம்
கொஞ்ச நேரம் கூட
என்னால் ஆகுமோ
To go beyond you
For a little time, a little distance
Or even a short moment, can I manage?
உன்னை உன்னை
தேடி தானே இந்த ஏக்கம்
இந்த பாதை இந்த பயணம்
இந்த வாழ்க்கை ஆனதோ
Searching only for you
This longing, this path, this
Journey, has my life become this?...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Siragugal is an emotionally resonant romantic track from the 2009 Tamil film Sarvam. The song delves into the agonizing yet beautiful experience of profound love, longing, and separation. The lyrics convey how the protagonist's entire existence—their dreams, pain, joy, and physical perception—has become completely intertwined with their beloved, rendering them unable to function or move forward without them.
