| Kannom neer thengiya kannom | Cheeks, cheeks where tears have pooled |
| Kaayam aaraadha kaayam nenjila | A wound, an unhealing wound in the heart |

| Aarainthe alinthene nanum | I searched deeply and destroyed myself |
| Oruthiyum illai oruththanukku | There is no woman meant for this man |
| Thanithevil ennaipol vaanam | On a lonely island, like me, stands the sky |
| Inimel itharkku thunai etharkku | Hereafter, why does this soul need a companion? |

காயம் அழுதா ஆகாயம் மீளல..
Cheeks, cheeks where tears have pooled
A wound, an unhealing wound in the heart
Thoughts, thoughts that I longed for
When the wound wept, the sky did not recover..
இறுக்கி பிடிச்ச மனசு
இடிஞ்சி ஒடஞ்சி இருக்கு
சிரிச்சி இருந்த வயசு
சரிஞ்சி அடஞ்சி கிடக்கு
The heart I held tightly
Lies broken and crumbled
The youth that was once happy
Has collapsed and lies buried
ஆராய்ந்தே அழிந்தேனே நானும்
ஒருத்தியும் இல்லை ஒருத்தனுக்கு
தனித்தீவினில் என்னைபோல் வானம்
இனிமேல் இதற்கு துணை எதற்கு
I searched deeply and destroyed myself
There is no woman meant for this man
On a lonely island, like me, stands the sky
Hereafter, why does this soul need a companion?
கண்ணோம் நீர் தேங்கிய கண்ணோம்
காயம் ஆறாத காயம் நெஞ்சில

Cheeks, cheeks where tears have pooled
A wound, an unhealing wound in the heart
Thoughts, thoughts that I longed for
When the wound wept, the sky did not recover..
