| Male | |
| Theendum dhooram thaandi ponaai | You went beyond the reach of my touch |
| Naan azhugiren nee sirikkiraai | I cry, while you laugh |
| Veru vaanam soodi kondaai | You adorned yourself with a different sky |
| En maruvamae yen kalaigiraai | My reflection, why do you fade away? |
| Male | |
| Un nyabagam ennai theeyida | As your memories set me ablaze |
| Unakkaai naan yenginen | I longed only for you |
| Vazhikkamalae ennai kolgiraai | You kill me without pain |
| En siragai erikkiraai | You burn down my wings |

தீண்டும் தூரம் தாண்டி போனாய்
நான் அழுகிறேன் நீ சிரிக்கிறாய்
வேறு வானம் சூடி கொண்டாய்
என் மருவமே ஏன் கலைகிறாய்
You went beyond the reach of my touch
I cry, while you laugh
You adorned yourself with a different sky
My reflection, why do you fade away?
உன் ஞாபகம் என்னை தீயிட
உனக்காய் நான் ஏங்கினேன்
வலிக்காமலே என்னை கொல்கிறாய்
என் சிறகை எரிக்கிறாய்
As your memories set me ablaze
I longed only for you
You kill me without pain
You burn down my wings
தீண்டும் தூரம் தாண்டி போனாய்
நான் அழுகிறேன் நீ சிரிக்கிறாய்
You went beyond the reach of my touch
I cry, while you laugh
ஆஆ.....ஆ....
Aaaa...aaa...
போதை போல் தோன்றும்
நாம் வாழ்ந்த காலங்கள்
கண்ணீரில் பார்த்தேன் அவை யாவும் மாயங்கள்
நீர் இல்லா தோட்டம் வெறும் முட்கள் தானடி
நீ இல்லா வாழ்வில் ஆண் விதவை நானடி
It feels like an intoxication
The times that we lived together
I saw through my tears that all of it was an illusion
A garden without water is merely full of thorns, my dear
In a life without you, I am a male widow, my dear
ஆறாத ரணமாய் என் காலை மாறுதே
தீக்குள்ளே நிலவாய் என் இரவும் நீளுதே
நீ இன்று வேண்டும்
உன் காதல் ஒன்றே போதும்
வலித்தாலும் இன்பம் நீயடி
My morning transforms into an unhealable wound
My night stretches out like a moon inside a fire
I need you today
Your love alone is enough
Even if it brings pain, you are my bliss, my dear
தீண்டும் தூரம் தாண்டி போனாய்
நான் அழுகிறேன் நீ சிரிக்கிறாய்
வேறு வானம் சூடி கொண்டாய்
என் மருவமே ஏன் கலைகிறாய்
You went beyond the reach of my touch
I cry, while you laugh
You adorned yourself with a different sky
My reflection, why do you fade away?
உன் ஞாபகம் என்னை தீயிட
உனக்காய் நான் ஏங்கினேன்
வலிக்காமலே என்னை கொல்கிறாய்
என் சிறகை எரிக்கிறாய்
As your memories set me ablaze
I longed only for you
You kill me without pain
You burn down my wings
ஹோ ஹோ ஓஒ ஹோ ஓஒ
ஹோ ஹோ ஓ ஹோ ஓஒ
ஹோ ஹூ ஓ ஹோ ஓஒ
Hooo hoo ooo hoo ooo
Hooo hoo oo hoo ooo
Hooo hooo oo hoo ooo
Theendum dhooram thaandi ponaai
You went beyond the reach of my touch
Naan azhugiren nee sirikkiraai
I cry, while you laugh
Veru vaanam soodi kondaai
You adorned yourself with a different sky
En maruvamae yen kalaigiraai
My reflection, why do you fade away?
Un nyabagam ennai theeyida
As your memories set me ablaze
Unakkaai naan yenginen
I longed only for you
Vazhikkamalae ennai kolgiraai
You kill me without pain
En siragai erikkiraai
You burn down my wings
Theendum dhooram thaandi ponaai
You went beyond the reach of my touch
Naan azhugiren nee sirikkiraai
I cry, while you laugh
Aaaa…..aaa…..

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses the deep anguish and sorrow of a lover who has been abandoned by his partner. The protagonist reflects on the painful contrast between his ongoing grief and her apparent indifference, feeling as though she has moved on to a completely different world. He describes the memories of their shared past as an intoxicating illusion and compares his current life without her to a waterless garden filled with thorns and himself to a male widow. Despite the intense suffering and emotional destruction, he still craves her love, finding a strange solace and joy even in the pain she causes.
