தீர்ந்து போன தூறல்
திரும்பாதடி
காய்ந்த போன மலரில்
மணம் ஏதடி
A drizzle that has ended
Will not return, my dear
In a flower that has dried up
Where is the fragrance, my dear?
ஓ ..ஓ ..
Oh…oh…
தீர்ந்து போன வானில்
பகல் ஏதடி
வீழந்து போன அன்பில்
பறக்காதடி
In a sky where light has ended
Where is the daylight, my dear?
In a love that has fallen down
It cannot fly anymore, my dear
நான் தேடும் காதல்
உன்னில் இல்லையோ
உன் அன்பில் ஏதும்
உண்மை இல்லையோ
Is the love I am searching for
Not inside you?
Is there no truth
In your love at all?
ஓ ..ஓ ..
ஆஹா
ஊ ஹோ ..ஊ ஹோ
Oh…oh…
Male : Aha…
Female : Uhoo… uhooo…
காலந்தோறும் மார்பில்
உனை தாங்குவேன்
தேடி தேடி கற்றேன்
அது பாவமா
Forever on my chest
To hold and protect you
I searched and learned eagerly
Is that a sin?
வார்த்தைகளால் வாளெடுத்து
வீசிவிட்டே பூட்டிக்கொண்டாய்
காயங்களால் நான் அழுதேன்
வேஷம் என்றே கூறிவிட்டாய்
Wielding words like a sword
You struck me with them and locked yourself away
I wept because of the wounds caused
And you dismissed my tears as a mere act
நீ பார்க்கும் பார்வை
கூண்டில் ஏத்துதே
(நீ பார்க்கும் பார்வை
கூண்டில் ஏத்துதே)
The gaze with which you look at me
Traps me inside a cage
Echo : The gaze with which you look at me
Traps me inside a cage
எனை கேட்கும் கேள்வி
தீயில் வீசுதே
(எனை கேட்கும் கேள்வி
தீயில் வீசுதே)
ஆஹா..ஆஹா
The question you ask me
Throws me into a fire
Echo : The question you ask me
Throws me into a fire
Aha aha…
Theerndhu pona thural
A drizzle that has ended
Thirumbaathadi
Will not return, my dear
Kaaindhu pona poovil
In a flower that has dried up
Manam yedhadi
Where is the fragrance, my dear?
Oh…oh……….
Oh…oh…
Theerndhu pona vaanil
In a sky where light has ended
Pagal yedhadi
Where is the daylight, my dear?
Veezhndhu pona anbil
In a love that has fallen down
Parakkadhadi
It cannot fly anymore, my dear
Naan thedum kaadhal
Is the love I am searching for
Unnil illayo
Not inside you?
Unn anbil yedhum

Unnmai illayo
In your love at all?

Vesham endre koorivittaai
And you dismissed my tears as a mere act
Nee paarkum paarvai
The gaze with which you look at me
Koondil yethuthey
Traps me inside a cage
Echo :Nee paarkum paarvai
Echo : The gaze with which you look at me
Koondil yethuthey
Traps me inside a cage
Ennai ketkum kelvi
The question you ask me
Theeyil veesuthey
Throws me into a fire
Echo :Ennai ketkum kelvi
Echo : The question you ask me
Theeyil veesuthey
Throws me into a fire
Aha aha……..

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song depicts the anguish of a partner coping with emotional distance, mistrust, and the breakdown of communication in a relationship. Using vivid imagery of faded nature—such as a drizzle that won't return, a dried flower with no scent, and a fallen love that cannot fly—the protagonist reflects on the hopelessness of their bond. He laments how his genuine devotion was misconstrued as a sin, and how harsh words and suspicious glances feel like weapons, cages, and burning fire.
