| Udaigiraen udaigiraen idhathayaththin virisalil | I am breaking, I am breaking in the cracks of my heart |
| Kizhigiraen kizhigiraen mounaththin iraichalil | I am tearing, I am tearing in the noise of silence |
| Paadhai illaamalae alaigiraen alaigiraen | Without a path, I wander, I wander |
| Uruvam illaamalae kalaigiraen kalaigiraen | Without a form, I fade away, I fade away |
| Yaarum illaadha ooril | In a town where no one resides |
| Naanum illaamalae tholaigiraen | I get lost, even without my own self |

| Pudhaigiraen pudhaigiraen | I am getting buried, I am getting buried |
| Manam ennum sagadhiyil | In the quagmire called the mind |

உடைகிறேன் உடைகிறேன் இதயத்தின் விரிசலில்
கிழிகிறேன் கிழிகிறேன் மௌனத்தின் இரைச்சலில்
பாதை இல்லாமலே அலைகிறேன் அலைகிறேன்
உருவம் இல்லாமலே களைகிறேன் கலைகிறேன்
யாரும் இல்லாத ஊரில்
நானும் இல்லாமலே தொலைகிறேன்
I am breaking, I am breaking in the cracks of my heart
I am tearing, I am tearing in the noise of silence
Without a path, I wander, I wander
Without a form, I fade away, I fade away
In a town where no one resides
I get lost, even without my own self
புதைகிறேன் புதைகிறேன்
மனம் என்னும் சகதியில்
I am getting buried, I am getting buried
In the quagmire called the mind
.............................
...
காற்றில் ஈரம் இங்கில்லையே
காதல் வாசம் இங்கில்லையே
நான் யாரென்று என்னை மனம் கேட்கும் போது
நான் என்ன சொல்வேனோ
ஏன் மௌனம் ஆவேனோ
There is no moisture in the air here
There is no fragrance of love here
When my heart asks me who I am
What shall I reply?
Why do I turn silent?
நொறுங்கினேன் நொறுங்கினேன்
உலகமே பிழை என
பேச சொற்கள் எல்லாமே
நெஞ்சில் முட்கள் என்றே கிழிகிறேன்
I shattered, I shattered
Thinking that the world itself is a mistake
All the unspoken words
Become thorns in the heart and tear me apart
Udaigiraen udaigiraen idhathayaththin virisalil
I am breaking, I am breaking in the cracks of my heart
Kizhigiraen kizhigiraen mounaththin iraichalil
I am tearing, I am tearing in the noise of silence
Paadhai illaamalae alaigiraen alaigiraen
Without a path, I wander, I wander
Uruvam illaamalae kalaigiraen kalaigiraen
Without a form, I fade away, I fade away
Yaarum illaadha ooril
In a town where no one resides
Naanum illaamalae tholaigiraen
I get lost, even without my own self
Pudhaigiraen pudhaigiraen
I am getting buried, I am getting buried
Manam ennum sagadhiyil
In the quagmire called the mind
………………..
...
Kaatril eeram ingillaiyae
There is no moisture in the air here
Kaadhal vaasam ingillaiyae
There is no fragrance of love here
Naan yaarendru ennai manam kaetkum podhu
When my heart asks me who I am
Naan enna solvaeno
What shall I reply?
Yaen mounam aavaeno
Why do I turn silent?
Norunginaen norunginaen

Ulagamae pizhai ena
Thinking that the world itself is a mistake
Paesaa sorkkal ellaamae
All the unspoken words
Nenjil mutkal endrae kizhigiraen
Become thorns in the heart and tear me apart
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song powerfully expresses the deep existential crisis, solitude, and emotional suffering of a person trapped within their own mind. The protagonist feels shattered inside, describing silence not as peace, but as a deafening noise that tears them apart. They feel lost without an identity or direction in a world devoid of warmth and love. The internal struggle deepens as unexpressed feelings and unspoken words transform into sharp thorns, causing agonizing heartaches.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Oxymoron
“Kizhigiraen kizhigiraen mounaththin iraichalil”
The phrase combines two contradictory concepts: silence (mounam) and noise/din (iraichal) to describe deafening emotional distress.
Metaphor
“Manam ennum sagadhiyil”
Compares the human mind to a muddy quagmire (sagadhi) in which one gets trapped and buried.
Metaphor
“Paesaa sorkkal ellaamae / Nenjil mutkal endrae kizhigiraen”
Compares unexpressed words (paesaa sorkkal) to sharp thorns (mutkal) that tear the heart.
Repetition (Epanalepsis)
“Udaigiraen udaigiraen idhathayaththin virisalil”
Repetition of words like 'Udaigiraen', 'Kizhigiraen', and 'Alaigiraen' intensifies the emotional impact of suffering.

Trivia
Vaayai Moodi Pesavum (2014), directed by Balaji Mohan, revolves around a fictional 'Dumb Flu' epidemic that causes a town to go completely mute. Lyricist Madhan Karky penned these lines to capture the psychological toll of enforced silence and the agony of unspoken thoughts, aligning perfectly with the film's core theme.
