அடியே நெஞ்சும் அடங்கா போச்சு
அழவா இல்லை விழவா
உன் நெனப்போ என்னோட கைவிலங்காச்சு
வரவா உன்ன தொழவா
Oh my girl, my heart has gone completely out of control.
Should I cry, or should I fall down?
Your memories have become my handcuffs.
Should I come and worship you?
அடியே ...ஏ
அழுதிடவா...உடல் வாடுது
மனம் நோகுது
உயிர் போகுது
அலைச்ச்சிடு அழகே
Oh my girl...
Shall I weep...
My body is wilting.
My heart is aching.
My life is leaving me.
Call out to me, my beautiful one.
விதியே விதியே
எனதுயிரை நீ தருவாயே
விதியே விதியே
எனதுயிரை நீ தருவாயே
Oh fate, oh fate!

காதல் என்ன
எந்தன் உயிர் கொல்லும் தீயா
கடவுளை போல்
கண்கள் அறிவதில்லையா
What is love?
Is it a fire that consumes my very life?
Like God,
Do my eyes fail to understand?
ஒருகணம் நான் பிழைக்கிறேன்
மறுகணம் உயிர் துறக்கிறேன்
வலிகளை இங்கு சுமக்கிறேன்
என் இருளினை அகற்றிட
வா பெண் ஒளியே
One moment I survive,
The next moment I relinquish my life.
I carry all these pains here.
Come to banish my darkness, oh woman of light!
விதியே விதியே
எனதுயிரை நீ தருவாயே
விதியே விதியே
எனதுயிரை நீ தருவாயே
Oh fate, oh fate!
Will you return my life to me?
Oh fate, oh fate!
Will you return my life to me?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Adiye from the film Sagaa is a poignant and intense song expressing the agony of heartbreak and deep emotional suffering. The protagonist feels completely overwhelmed by his feelings, describing the memory of his lover as handcuffs that bind him and love as a destructive fire consuming his soul. Plunged into darkness and physical exhaustion, he desperately calls out to his beloved—his light—and begs fate to restore his spirit and life.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor
“Un nenappo ennoda kaivilangachu”
The speaker compares the persistent thoughts/memories of his beloved to 'kaivilangu' (handcuffs), highlighting how love constrains and imprisons his mind.
Metaphor
“Enthan uyirkollum theeya”
Love is directly described as 'uyirkollum theey' (a life-taking fire), symbolizing its deadly and painful intensity.
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Udal vaadudhu / Manam nogudhu / Uyir pogudhu”
The three successive short lines end with the rhyming suffix '-dhu' (vaadudhu, nogudhu, pogudhu), building a rhythmic cadence of physical and spiritual decay.
Apostrophe / Personification
“Vithiyae vithiyae / Enadhuyirai nee tharuvayae”
The speaker directly addresses 'Vithi' (Fate) as a conscious entity capable of listening and returning his lost life.
Antithesis / Contrast
“Oruganam naan pizhaikiren / Maruganam uyir thurakkiren”
Contrasting 'pizhaikiren' (I survive) in one second with 'uyir thurakkiren' (I give up life) in the very next to show extreme volatility of emotion.
