நதியென நான் ஓடோடி
கடலினை தினம் தேடினேன்
தனிமையின் வலி தீராதோ
மூச்சுக் காற்று போன பின்பு
நான் வாழ்வதோ
Running like a river,
I searched for the ocean every day.
Doesn't the pain of loneliness show?
After my breath leaves me,
How shall I live?
தீராத காயம்
மனதில் உன்னாலடி
ஆறாதடி
An unhealing wound,
In my heart because of you, my dear,
It does not heal, my dear.
வானம் பாா்த்தேன்
பழகிய விண்மீன் எங்கோ
போக பாறை நெஞ்சம் கரைகிறதே
I looked at the sky,
As a familiar star,
Goes somewhere away,
My heart, hard as a rock, melts away.
ஏனோ இன்று தூரம்
போனால் இடப் பக்கம் துடித்திடும்
இருதய இசையென இருந்தவள்
அவள் எங்கு போனாலோ
Why today, when she went far away,
Beating on the left side,
Like the music of my heart,
She who was there,
Where has she gone?
இரு விழி இமை
சேராமல் உறங்கிட மடி
கேட்கிறேன் மழையினை
கண் காணாமல் மேகம் பாா்த்து
பூமி கேட்க நான் பாடினேன்
நீ இல்லா நானோ நிழலை
தேடும் நிஜம் ஆனேனடி
Without my two eyelids meeting,
I ask for your lap to sleep.
Without seeing the rain with eyes,
Like the earth looking at clouds and asking,
I sang.
Without you, I...
Have become a reality searching for its shadow,
My dear.
வானம் பாா்த்தேன்
பழகிய விண்மீன் எங்கோ
போக பாறை நெஞ்சம் கரைகிறதே
I looked at the sky,
As a familiar star,
Goes somewhere away,
My heart, hard as a rock, melts away.
எங்கும் பாா்த்தேன்
உந்தன் பிம்பம் கனவிலும்
நினைவிலும் தினம் தினம்
வருபவள் எதிாினில்
இனி வர நேராதோ
I looked everywhere,
Your reflection...
In my dreams and thoughts,
The one who comes day after day,
Is it time for her to stand before me now?
நதியென நான் ஓடோடி
கடலினை தினம் தேடினேன்
தனிமையின் வலி தீராதோ
தூண்டில் முள்ளில் மாட்டிக்
கொண்ட மீன் நானடி ஏமாறும்
காலம் இனிமேல் வேணாமடி கை சேரடி
Running like a river,
I searched for the ocean every day.
Doesn't the pain of loneliness show?
Caught on a fishhook,
I am like a fish, my dear.
A time of being deceived,
I don't want it anymore, my dear.
Join hands with me, my dear.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poignant song depicts the immense grief, yearning, and deep love of a man separated from his soulmate over a long period. He compares his life's journey to a river endlessly searching for the ocean, expressing how incomplete and wounded he feels without her presence. Her absence leaves an unhealing wound in his heart, making him feel like a reality that has lost its own shadow. Every memory of her continues to haunt his dreams and thoughts. Comparing his plight to a drought-stricken earth waiting for rain or a fish trapped on a hook, he pleads for reunion and warmth, hoping that the painful era of separation and longing finally comes to an end as they hold hands once again.
