{ சொல் சொல்
என் நெஞ்சே என்ன
நான் உறைப்பேன்
உன்னில் நான் இன்றி
எங்கு நான் வசிப்பேன் } (2)
Tell me, oh tell me, my heart,
What shall I say?
Without existing within you,
Where will I reside?
இந்த வேதனையை
என்று நான் தொலைப்பேன்
Tell me, oh tell me, my heart,
What shall I say?
சொல் சொல்
என் நெஞ்சே என்ன
நான் உறைப்பேன்
உன்னில் நான் இன்றி
எங்கு நான் வசிப்பேன்
Without existing within you,
Where will I reside?
This agonizing distress,
When will I ever shed it?
தனிமையில் தேயும்
நிலவென நானும் கனவை
பொழுதை ஏன் கலைத்தேனோ
Tell me, oh tell me, my heart,
What shall I say?
Without existing within you,
Where will I reside?
சிலுவையின் பாரம்
தாலியில் தாங்கும் உறவே
உனை நான் நோகடித்தேனோ
Waning away in isolation,
Like the moon, I too,
Spent my time like a dream,
Why did I shatter it?
இருவரும் சேர்ந்து
பாடவே பாடல் வாங்கினோம்
ஒருவரே பாடி ஓய்ந்ததால்
மவுனமாய் நானும் தேங்கினேன்
ஏங்கினேன் தீயிலே தூங்கினேன்
The heavy burden of a cross,
Borne upon the sacred wedding thread,
Oh my beloved, did I,
Cause you so much pain?
For both of us to sing together,
சொல் சொல்
என் நெஞ்சே என்ன
நான் உறைப்பேன்
உன்னில் நான் இன்றி
பெண் : ஆஹா... ஆஆஆ
We received a song,
Since one sang alone to exhaustion,
I stagnated in silent grief,
I yearned... and slept amidst flames.
மனம் அறியாமல்
புரியும் தீங்கால் மனமே
உடையும் இதுதான் வாழ்க்கை
Tell me, oh tell me, my heart,
What shall I say?
Without existing within you...
Female vocalization: Ahaaa…aaa…aaaa…aaaa….
வெளித்தெரியாமல்
நேரும் காயம் உயிரை குடையும்
கதை தான் வாழ்க்கை
Without the mind intending,
The unintended harm that happens,
Breaks the entire heart,
This indeed is life.
கனவுகள் சூழ்ந்த
காதலே தீராகாவியம்
உறவுகள் ஊமை ஆகினால்
யாவுமே ஆகும் நாடகம்
மாறுமே மாறுமே சோகமே
Unseen from the outside,
The wound that forms,
Gouges at the soul,
Life is a story like this.
Love enveloped in dreams,
Is an unending epic,
சொல் சொல்
என் நெஞ்சே என்ன
நான் உறைப்பேன்
உன்னில் நான் இன்றி
எங்கு நான் வசிப்பேன்
If relationships fall silent,
Everything becomes mere theater,
Will it change? It will change,
This deep sorrow!
இந்த வேதனையை
என்று நான் தொலைப்பேன்
Tell me, oh tell me, my heart,
What shall I say?
சொல் சொல்
என் நெஞ்சே என்ன
நான் உறைப்பேன்
உன்னில் நான் இன்றி
எங்கு நான் வசிப்பேன்

Where will I reside?

When will I ever shed it?
