| Veezhadhae manamae en manamae | Do not fall, my heart, oh my heart. |
| Enai neengadhae kanamae | Do not leave me, oh moment. |
| Uyarathil enai nee yetrinaai | You raised me up to great heights. |
| Vaanilae naan pogayil megamaai vaazhgaiyil | When I floated in the sky, living like a cloud, |
| Udaindhae vizhi thuliyaai | I shattered into a drop of tears. |

வீழாதே மனமே என் மனமே
எனை நீங்காதே கணமே
உயரத்தில் எனை நீ ஏற்றினாய்
வானிலே நான் போகயில்
மேகமாய் வாழ்கயில்
உடைந்தே விழி துளியாய்
Do not fall, my heart, oh my heart.
Do not leave me, oh moment.
You raised me up to great heights.
When I floated in the sky, living like a cloud,
I shattered into a drop of tears.
வீழாதே மனமே என் மனமே
வீழாதே மனமே என் மனமே
பிழை செய்யாதே என் மனமே
Do not fall, my heart, oh my heart.
Do not fall, my heart, oh my heart.
Do not commit a mistake, my heart.
தலைகீழாய் எரியும் கேள்விகள்
ஆயிரம் நான் பார்க்கயில்
நான் விடை கேட்கையில்
உடைத்தே துகள் துகளாய்
வீழாதே மனமே என் மனமே
Questions burning upside down,
As I see a thousand of them, as I seek an answer,
I shatter into tiny particles.
Do not fall, my heart, oh my heart.
நான் செய்த தவறா உன் தவறா
விடை இன்றி இதயம் நின்றதோ
மனசுவர் எல்லாம் கோடு வரைந்தே
சிரித்தாயே ரசித்தாயே
Is it a mistake made by me, or a mistake of yours?
Did the heart freeze without an answer?
Drawing lines across all the walls of the mind,
You laughed and you relished it,
ஓவியம் அல்ல கீறல் என்றாயே
விரிந்திடும் கீறலில் உன் எரிகிற தூரிகை
வான் முழுதும் புகையினிலே
கனவுகள் யாவுமே கரியென மாறுதே
You said it is not a painting, but a scratch.
In the expanding scratch, your burning paintbrush
Fills the entire sky with smoke.
All dreams turn into charcoal.
நில்லாய் என் காலமே
அவசரமாக நீ எனை விட்டு போகிறாய்
மறுபடி தொடங்கி முன்னுரை சொல்லவோ
முடிவுரை எழுதவோ முயலுகிறேன்
Stand still, my time.
You are leaving me in such a hurry.
Shall I start over and speak the preface?
I am trying to write the epilogue.
ஹா...ஆஅ......ஹோ ...ஓ ....
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa. hoo oooo oooo oo
மறுபடி தொடங்கி முன் உரை சொல்லவோ
முடிவுரை எழுதவே முயலுகிறேன்
Shall I start over and speak the preface?
I am trying to write the epilogue.
Veezhadhae manamae en manamae
Do not fall, my heart, oh my heart.
Enai neengadhae kanamae
Do not leave me, oh moment.
Uyarathil enai nee yetrinaai
You raised me up to great heights.
Vaanilae naan pogayil megamaai vaazhgaiyil
When I floated in the sky, living like a cloud,
Udaindhae vizhi thuliyaai
I shattered into a drop of tears.
Veezhadhae manamae en manamae
Do not fall, my heart, oh my heart.
Veezhadhae manamae en manamae
Do not fall, my heart, oh my heart.
Pizhai seiyaadhae en manamae
Do not commit a mistake, my heart.
Thalai keezhzai eriyum kelvigal
Questions burning upside down,
Aayiram naan paarkkaiyil naan vidai ketkkaiyil
As I see a thousand of them, as I seek an answer,
Udaindhae thugal thugalaai
I shatter into tiny particles.
Veezhadhae manamae en manamae
Do not fall, my heart, oh my heart.
Naan seidha thavara un thavara
Is it a mistake made by me, or a mistake of yours?
Vidai indri idhayam nindradho
Did the heart freeze without an answer?
Mana chuvar ellaam kodu varaindhae
Drawing lines across all the walls of the mind,
Sirithaayae rasithaayae
You laughed and you relished it,
Oviyam alla keeral endraayae
You said it is not a painting, but a scratch.
Virinthidum keeralil un erigira thoorigai
In the expanding scratch, your burning paintbrush
Vaan muzhudhum pugaiyinilae
Fills the entire sky with smoke.
Kanavugal yaavumae kariyena maarudhae
All dreams turn into charcoal.
Nillaai en kaalamae
Stand still, my time.
Avasaramaaga nee enai vittu pogiraai
You are leaving me in such a hurry.
Marupadi thodangi munnurai sollavo
Shall I start over and speak the preface?
Mudivurai ezhudhavo muyalugiren

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa. hoo oooo oooo oo
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa. hoo oooo oooo oo
Marubadi thodangi munn urai sollavo
Shall I start over and speak the preface?
Mudivurai ezhudhavae muyalugiren

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses deep heartbreak, emotional anguish, and existential contemplation. The narrator pleads with their heart not to give up or collapse under the burden of lingering memories and grief. Feeling lifted high by love only to crash down into tears, the narrator reflects on unanswered questions, broken dreams turning to ash, and the rushing passage of time. They grapple with trying to restart their story's preface while simultaneously attempting to write its final conclusion.
