சொல்லடி எந்தன் இதயம்
எனதா... உனதா...
நில்லடி நீ செய்வது
சரியா... சரியா...
Tell me girl, my heart,
Is it mine or yours?
Stop girl, is what you do
Right or is it right?
உன் தோட்டத்துப் பூவா...
என் இதயம்.. என் இதயம்..
நீ போகின்ற போக்கில்... பறித்தாயே..
குழு :
பறித்தாயே..
Is my heart a flower
In your garden, my heart?
You plucked it randomly as you passed by
Chorus: You plucked it
உன் கிணற்றில் உள்ள நீரா...
என் இதயம்.. என் இதயம்..
நீ நினைத்து நினைத்து வாறி இறைத்தாயே...
குழு :
இறைத்தாயே... ஓஹோ....
Is my heart the water
In your well, my heart?
Whenever you felt like it,
You scooped and splashed it away
Chorus: Splashed it away
சொல்லடி எந்தன் இதயம்
எனதா... உனதா...
நில்லடி நீ செய்வது
சரியா... சரியா...
Ohooo... ohooo.
Ohooo... ohooo... ooohhooo
Ohooo... ohooo.
Ohooo... ohooo... ooohhooo
உன் கட்டில் மெத்தை
என் இதய வாசல்
சுகமாக படுத்து
நீயும் புரண்டாயே ....
Tell me girl, my heart,
Is it mine or yours?
Stop girl, is what you do
Right or is it right?
உந்தன் புத்தகத்தின்
முதல் பக்கம் என் இதயவாசல்
உன் பெயரை எழுதிவிட்டு போனாயே...
Is the threshold of my heart
A mattress for your bed?
Lying comfortably,
You tossed and turned...
உன் கூந்தல் காட்டில் ஒளியும்
ஒரு குழலா எந்தன் இதயம்
ஒரே முடிச்சில் என்னை அள்ளி புதைத்தாயே
குழு :
புதைத்தாயே
The threshold of my heart is
The first page of your book,
On which your name
You wrote and walked away.
உன் வீட்டின் முற்றத்தின் மேல்
விழும் மழையா எந்தன் இதயம்
ரசித்த பின்னால்
ஜன்னல் சாற்றிப் படுத்தாயே....
Hiding in the forest of your tresses,
Is my heart like a strand of hair?
In a single knot, you scooped me up and buried me
Chorus: Buried me
சொல்லடி எந்தன் இதயம்
எனதா... உனதா...
நில்லடி நீ செய்வது
சரியா... சரியா...
On the courtyard of your house,
Is my heart the falling rain?
After enjoying it,
You shut the window and went to sleep
...............................
Tell me girl, my heart,
Is it mine or yours?
Stop girl, is what you do
Right or is it right?
உன் நெற்றியின் வேர்வைத் துளியாய்
போராடும் எந்தன் இதயம்
ஒற்றை விரலில் என்னை சுண்டி
எரித்தாயே அடியே.....
Pabab paabhaa...(4)
உன் கை கடிகாரத்தில்
ஓடுகின்ற முள்ளாய் என் இதயம்
ஒரே பார்வை வீசி
பின்னர் மறந்தாயே
Like a drop of sweat on your forehead,
My struggling heart,
Flicked me away with a single finger
And threw me, oh girl!
நீ போடும் வாசல் கோலம்
அது தானா எந்தன் இதயம்
ஒரு சில கோடுகளால்
என்னை வளைத்தாயே
குழு :
வளைத்தாயே
My heart is like the ticking hand
Of your wristwatch,
You cast a single glance
And then forgot me...
உன் காலை தாங்கும் செருப்பா
போராடும் எந்தன் இதயம்
ஊரெங்கும் சுற்றி வாசலில்
கழற்றி வைத்தாயே...
Is my heart
The threshold rangoli pattern you draw?
With just a few lines,
You entrapped me
Chorus: Entrapped me
சொல்லடி எந்தன் இதயம்
எனதா... உனதா...
நில்லடி நீ செய்வது
சரியா... சரியா...
Is my struggling heart
The sandal supporting your foot?
After roaming all around town,
You slipped it off at the doorstep...
Tell me girl, my heart,
Is it mine or yours?
Stop girl, is what you do
Right or is it right?
Solladi endhan idhayam
Tell me girl, my heart,
Enathaa unathaa
Is it mine or yours?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poignant song from Kadhalil Vizhunthen captures the raw pain and anguish of a lover whose heart is treated carelessly by his beloved. Through a series of brilliant, everyday metaphors written by lyricist Thamarai, the protagonist questions why she treats his devotion as something disposable. He compares his heart to a garden flower casually picked, water splashed from a well, rain enjoyed before closing a window, or shoes discarded at the doorstep. Despite the emotional imbalance, his overwhelming love persists as he struggles to comprehend her indifference.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Urvagam)
“Un thottaththu poovaa / En idhayam en idhayam”
Compares the heart to everyday temporary objects like a garden flower, rain on a courtyard, and a drop of sweat to illustrate vulnerability.
Anaphora (Edukku Thodar)
“Solladi endhan idhayam / Enathaa unathaa”
Repetition of the line 'Solladi endhan idhayam' throughout the song reinforces the persistent questioning of ownership over his own emotions.
Tactile and Visual Imagery
“Un netriyin vervai thuliyaai... Otrai viralil ennai sundi erinththaaiyae”
Creates striking imagery of flicking a drop of sweat off a forehead to represent quick discard.

Trivia
