உள்ள வலிக்குது
நெஞ்சு தவிக்குது
என்ன தாண்டி போனாயே
It hurts inside
My heart is aching
You walked past me and left
பிஞ்சு மொழியில
கொஞ்சி சிரிச்சவ
நெஞ்ச வீசி போனாளே
With sweet, tender words
She who giggled affectionately
Cast my heart away and left
என் அன்பால நீ வந்து தாலாட்டுன
அது இன்றோடு மண்ணானதே
வெறும் கண்ணாடி நேசத்த ஏன் காட்டுன
உடஞ்சாலும் வாழுவேன்
You lulled me to sleep with love
Today that has turned into dust
Why did you build love made of fragile glass?
Yet I will live with this deception
இந்த சாபம் போதும்
விடுதலை கிடச்சிடுமா
என் தூக்கம் போச்சு
என் கனவுல அவ வருவா
This curse is enough
Will I ever get freedom?
My sleep is gone
She appears in my dreams
எங்கும் போகும் போதும்
அவ முகம் தெரியுதடா
அவ காதல் வார்த்த
அடிக்கடி கேக்குதடா
Wherever I go
Her face appears before me
Her words of love
Keep echoing constantly
சொல்லாமல் நீயே என் வேதன
அணையாத நெருப்பாக உருக்கொள்ளுமோ
இல்லாம நீயே என் நெஞ்சோரமா
அது கூடி காயங்கள் உருகுவாமோ
Unspoken, you become my agony
Will it take shape as an unquenchable fire?
In your absence, near my heart
Will numerous wounds melt away?
தவிக்கிற மனசுக்கு தெரியலியே
கலவரக் காதலி இனி இல்லையே
விழிக்கிற எரிமல அடங்கலயே
கதிரென அடக்கியும் முடியலியே
The struggling heart does not understand
There is no longer any wild love
Like an awakening volcano without calming down
It cannot be suppressed like a blazing ray
எனடா நெஞ்சம் கேளடா
குருவியின் இதயத்தில் நீயடா
Why, my friend? Listen to the truth
You reside in the maiden's heart
பாருகள் இங்கு யாரடி
தனிமையின் கொடுமையை பாராடி
Who is here to comfort me, girl?
Look at the cruelty of loneliness, girl
இந்த சாபம் போதும்
விடுதலை கிடச்சுடுமா
என் தூக்கம் போச்சு
என் கனவுல அவ வருவா
This curse is enough
Will I get freedom?
Male: My sleep is gone
She appears in my dreams
கனவுல அவ வருவா
She appears in my dreams
எங்கும் போகும் போதும்
அவ முகம் தெரியுதடா
அவ முகம் தெரியுதடா
அவ காதல் வார்த்த
அடிக்கடி கேக்குதடா
Wherever I go
Her face appears before me
Her words of love
Keep echoing constantly

Adhu indrodu mannanadhae
Today that has turned into dust
Verum kannadi nesatha yen kattuna
Why did you build love made of fragile glass?
Udan jaalum vaazhuven
