| Male | |
| Vazhiyil tholainthu pogavo | Did it get lost along the way? |
| En viralgal korththu nadanthathu | That which walked holding my fingers? |
| Valikka valikka yaaradi en | Who is it that so painfully, |
| Kanavai aruththu ponathu | Cut through my dream and left? |
| Male | |
| Uthiram urugum urulum | Blood melts and rolls down, |
| Valigal thaanadi….ooohooh.. | It is nothing but pain, my friend... |
| Kadakkum vazhiyil kidaikkumo | Will I find along the path I cross, |
| Un kaaladi…..oohoooh… | Your footprints?... |
| Female | |
| Laalaalaalaalaa…. | La la la la la... |
| Male | |
| Koondhal koondal alai vaasam | The wave-like fragrance of hair, |
| Ennai ennai suttruthae | Swirls all around me, |
| Theeyai pola pattruthae | Catching fire like a flame, |
| Uyirai ketkuthae | Demanding my very life. |
| Male | |
| Vizhiththu paarththa pothu en | When I opened my eyes and looked, |

வழியில் தொலைந்து போகவோ
என் விரல்கள் கோர்த்து நடந்தது
வலிக்க வலிக்க யாரடி என்
கனவை அறுத்து போனது
Did it get lost along the way?
That which walked holding my fingers?
Who is it that so painfully,
Cut through my dream and left?
உதிரம் உருகும் உருளும்
வலிகள் தானடி...ஓஓஹ்ஓஓஹ்
கடக்கும் வழியில் கிடைக்குமோ
உன் காலடி..ஓஓஹ்ஓஓஹ்
Blood melts and rolls down,
It is nothing but pain, my friend...
Will I find along the path I cross,
Your footprints?...
லாலாலாலாலாலா...
La la la la la...
கூந்தல் கூந்தல் அலை வாசம்
என்னை என்னை சுற்றுதே
தீயைப் போல பற்றுதே
உயிரைக் கேட்குதே....
The wave-like fragrance of hair,
Swirls all around me,
Catching fire like a flame,
Demanding my very life.
விழித்து பார்த்த போது என்
வெளிச்சம் களவு போனதே
வெளிச்சம் போன பாதையில்
இரவை தேடிப் பார்க்கிறேன்
இருளில் கலந்த மின்னலை பிரிப்பதாறடி
When I opened my eyes and looked,
My light had been stolen away.
Along the path where the light went,
I search for the night.
Who can separate the lightning dissolved in darkness?
எங்கே எங்கே எங்கே போனாய்
யாரின் தோளில் துயில்வேன் நான்
ஓசையின்றி அழுதேன்
உடைந்து போகிறேன்
Where, where, where did you go?
On whose shoulders will I sleep?
I cried without making a sound,
I am shattering into pieces.
இரும்பின் கரங்கள் கூடி என்
மனதை பறித்து போனதே
துயரம் தடைகள் தாண்டியே
அவளின் முகத்தை காணவே போவேன்
காற்று முடியும் ஊர் வரை
Iron hands joined together,
And snatched my heart away.
Surmounting grief and obstacles,
I will go to see her face.
வழியில் தொலைந்து போகவோ
என் விரல்கள் கோர்த்து நடந்தது
வலிக்க வலிக்க யாரடி என்
கனவை அறுத்து போனது
Did it get lost along the way?
That which walked holding my fingers?
Who is it that so painfully,
Cut through my dream and left?
உதிரம் உருகும் உருளும்
வலிகள் தானடி...ஓஓஹ்ஓஓஹ்
கடக்கும் வழியில் கிடைக்குமோ
உன் காலடி..ஓஓஹ்ஓஓஹ்
Blood melts and rolls down,
It is nothing but pain, my friend...
Will I find along the path I cross,
Your footprints?...
லாலாலலலாலா.....
La la la la la...
Vazhiyil tholainthu pogavo
Did it get lost along the way?
En viralgal korththu nadanthathu
That which walked holding my fingers?
Valikka valikka yaaradi en
Who is it that so painfully,
Kanavai aruththu ponathu
Cut through my dream and left?
Uthiram urugum urulum
Blood melts and rolls down,
Valigal thaanadi….ooohooh..
It is nothing but pain, my friend...
Kadakkum vazhiyil kidaikkumo
Will I find along the path I cross,
Un kaaladi…..oohoooh…
Your footprints?...
Laalaalaalaalaa….
La la la la la...
Koondhal koondal alai vaasam
The wave-like fragrance of hair,
Ennai ennai suttruthae
Swirls all around me,
Theeyai pola pattruthae
Catching fire like a flame,
Uyirai ketkuthae
Demanding my very life.
Vizhiththu paarththa pothu en
When I opened my eyes and looked,
Velichcham kalavu ponathae
My light had been stolen away.
Velichcham pona paathaiyil
Along the path where the light went,
Iravai thedi parkkiraen
I search for the night.
Irulil kalantha minnalai pirippathaaradi
Who can separate the lightning dissolved in darkness?
Engae engae engae ponaai
Where, where, where did you go?
Yaarin tholil thuyivaen naan
On whose shoulders will I sleep?
Osaiyindri azhuthaen
I cried without making a sound,
Udainthu pogiraen
I am shattering into pieces.
Irumpin karangal koodi en
Iron hands joined together,
Manathai pariththu ponathae
And snatched my heart away.
Thuyaram thadaigal thaandiyae
Surmounting grief and obstacles,
Avalin mugaththai kaanavae povaen
I will go to see her face.
Vazhiyil tholainthu pogavo
Did it get lost along the way?
En viralgal korththu nadanthathu
That which walked holding my fingers?
Valikka valikka yaaradi en
Who is it that so painfully,
Kanavai aruththu ponathu
Cut through my dream and left?
Uthiram urugum urulum
Blood melts and rolls down,
Valigal thaanadi….ooohooh..
It is nothing but pain, my friend...
Kadakkum vazhiyil kidaikkumo
Will I find along the path I cross,
Un kaaladi…..oohoooh…
Your footprints?...
Laalaalalalaalaa
La la la la la...
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This haunting track from 'Aanmai Thavarael' expresses profound grief, anguish, and despair resulting from a sudden loss or separation. The lyrics convey the agony of severed bonds and broken dreams—once held close like a hand in hand, now shattered by cruel circumstances. Sensorial imagery like melting blood, stolen light, and iron hands snatching away one's heart emphasizes the unbearable mental and physical torment experienced by the speaker. Despite the crushing darkness and silent tears, a subtle thread of determination persists. The protagonist resolves to cross all barriers and grief just to catch a glimpse of the beloved's face once more, making it a poignant reflection on heartbreak, longing, and desperate hope.
