|---|---|
| Female | |
| Thanimai sirayilae | In the prison of solitude |
| Vaazhum andril paravayaai | Like an Andril bird living alone |
| Orae mezhugaai ilagi uruginen | I melted completely like a single candle |
| Un kaadhal dhesathin | In your kingdom of love |
| Mazhayil nanaindha paravayaai | Like a bird drenched in the rain |
| Un kudai thedi nanum alaigiren | I wander searching for your shelter |
| Female | |
| Yaavum neeyaga aanaayada | You became my everything, my love |
| Un vaasam en swasamae | Your fragrance is my very breath |
| Indru yen ennai nee neenginaai | Why did you leave me today? |
| Kaattrodu sarugaagiren | I turn into a dry leaf drifting in the wind |
| Female | |
| Mudhalmurai oru pirivin | For the first time, from a separation |
| Vali thaanga nenjam | To bear the excruciating pain, my heart... |
| Uraindhidum dhinam iravugal kanava | Freezes every day, are the nights just a dream? |
| Nijam nijam ena therindhadhum | The moment it realized this is truth, absolute truth |
| Manam thazhmai thaava | My heart plunges into the depths |
| Nadandhadhu enna nadapadhu ennavo | What has happened, and what is yet to happen? |
| Uyirae | Oh my soul |
| Female | |
| Hoo oo oo oo hoo oo oo oo | Hoo oo oo oo hoo oo oo oo |
| Female | |
| Maraiyum pirayumaai | Like a fading crescent moon |
| En nilai | Is my condition |
| Irulum vaanilai | The sky turns completely dark |
| Varnam nee varaindhida | For you to paint colors upon it |
| Vizhigalil valiyum kanavugalum | As the dreams flowing from my eyes |
| Kalangida nee yenai varaindhidadaa | Get blurred, won't you paint me, my love? |
| Female | |
| Vaarthai illayae uyiril osai illaiyae | There are no words left, no sound in my soul |
| Indru naanaaga naanum illaiyae | Today, I am not myself anymore |
| Pullin nuniyilae vaazhum ottrai panithuli | Like a single dewdrop living on the tip of a blade of grass |
| Nee varum paadhai paarthu nirkkiren | I stand watching the path you will return on |
| Female | |
| Yavum neeyaga aanaayada | You became my everything, my love |
| Un vaasam en swasamae | Your fragrance is my very breath |

தனிமை சிறையிலே
வாழும் அன்றில் பறவையாய்
ஓர் மெழுகாய் இளகி உருகினேன்
உன் காதல் தேசத்தின்
மழையில் நனைந்த பறவையாய்
உன் குடை தேடி நானும் அலைகிறேன்
In the prison of solitude
Like an Andril bird living alone
I melted completely like a single candle
In your kingdom of love
Like a bird drenched in the rain
I wander searching for your shelter
யாவும் நீயாக ஆனாயடா
உன் வாசம் என் ஸ்வாசமே
இன்று ஏன் என்னை நீ நீங்கினாய்
காற்றோடு சருகாகிறேன்
You became my everything, my love
Your fragrance is my very breath
Why did you leave me today?
I turn into a dry leaf drifting in the wind
முதல்முறை ஒரு பிரிவின்
வலி தாங்கா நெஞ்சம்
உறைந்திடும் தினம் இரவுகள் கனவா
நிஜம் நிஜம் என தெரிந்ததும்
மனம் தாழ்மை தாவா
நடந்தது என்ன நடப்பது என்னவோ
உயிரே
For the first time, from a separation
To bear the excruciating pain, my heart...
Freezes every day, are the nights just a dream?
The moment it realized this is truth, absolute truth
My heart plunges into the depths
What has happened, and what is yet to happen?
Oh my soul
ஹோ ஓ ஹோ ஓ ஓ
Hoo oo oo oo hoo oo oo oo
மறையும் பிறையுமாய்
என் நிலை
இருளும் வானிலை
வர்ணம் நீ வரைந்திட
விழிகளில் வலியும் கனவுகளும்
கலங்கிட நீ எனை வரைந்திடடா
Like a fading crescent moon
Is my condition
The sky turns completely dark
For you to paint colors upon it
As the dreams flowing from my eyes
Get blurred, won't you paint me, my love?
வார்த்தை இல்லையே
உயிரில் ஓசை இல்லையே
இன்று நானாக நானும் இல்லையே
புல்லின் நுனியிலே
வாழும் ஒத்த பனித்துளி
நீ வரும் பாதை பார்த்து நிற்கிறேன்
There are no words left, no sound in my soul
Today, I am not myself anymore
Like a single dewdrop living on the tip of a blade of grass
I stand watching the path you will return on
யாவும் நீயாக ஆனாயடா
உன் வாசம் என் ஸ்வாசமே
இன்று ஏன் என்னை நீ நீங்கினாய்
காற்றோடு சருகாகிறேன்
You became my everything, my love
Your fragrance is my very breath
Why did you leave me today?
I turn into a dry leaf drifting in the wind
முதல்முறை ஒரு பிரிவின்
வலி தாங்கா நெஞ்சம்
உறைந்திடும் தினம் இரவுகள் கனவா
நிஜம் நிஜம் என தெரிந்ததும்
மனம் தாழ்மை தாவா
நடந்தது என்ன நடப்பது என்னவோ
உயிரே
For the first time, from a separation
To bear the excruciating pain, my heart...
Freezes every day, are the nights just a dream?
The moment it realized this is truth, absolute truth
My heart plunges into the depths
What has happened, and what is yet to happen?

There are no words left, no sound in my soul
Indru naanaaga naanum illaiyae
Today, I am not myself anymore
Pullin nuniyilae vaazhum ottrai panithuli
Like a single dewdrop living on the tip of a blade of grass
Nee varum paadhai paarthu nirkkiren

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poignant song conveys the deep sorrow, vulnerability, and sense of loss experienced by a woman facing separation from her beloved for the very first time. She compares her lonely existence to a solitary Andril bird (a classical motif of inseparable devotion) and a fragile dewdrop perched on a blade of grass. Describing her lover's presence as her life force and fragrance as her breath, his absence leaves her feeling hollow, drifting aimlessly like a dry leaf in the wind.
