மனமே வலியா
பிரிவே வழியா
கழியா நினைவின் பிழையா
Oh heart, are you pain?
Is separation the only way?
Is it the fault of memories that never fade away?
விழி எதிரில் தேயுது
நமது ஒரு வானம்
விரிகிறது பெண்னே
இதயங்களில் காயம்
Waning right in front of my eyes,
Our single shared sky
Is expanding with distance, oh girl.
There is a deep wound in our hearts.
கடலில் அலை பாயும்
எனது மௌன ராகம்
நடுவில் அது ஓயும்
எனில் அதுவா நியாயம்
Like waves surging in the sea,
My silent ragam
Ceases in the middle;
If so, is that fair?
...............
[Humming]
ஹே எந்நாளும் எந்தன்
மூச்சாக வாழ்வேன்
என்று கூறினாய்
என்னஆனதென்று
ஏது ஆனதென்று
நீங்க பார்க்கிறாய்
Hey, forever as my
Breath you would live,
You used to say so.
What happened to that,
How it changed like this,
You just watch passively.
ஒரு கனவாய்
சிறு கனவாய்
உந்தன் காதல் ஆகுமா
ஒரு நொடியில்
சிறு நொடியில்
என்னை நீங்கி போகுமா
Like a dream,
Like a fleeting dream,
Will your love turn into that?
In a single second,
In a tiny moment,
Will it leave me and go?
விழி எதிரில் தேயுது
நமது ஒரு வானம்
விரிகிறது பெண்னே
இதயங்களில் காயம்
Waning right in front of my eyes,
Our single shared sky
Is expanding with distance, oh girl.
There is a deep wound in our hearts.
உன் முத்தத்தின் வாசம்
என் காற்றில் இன்னும் வீசுகின்றதே
என் தீண்டல் சொற்கள்
உன் நெஞ்சில் இன்னும்
பேசுகின்றதா
The fragrance of your kiss
In my breeze, still
Keeps wafting.
My tender words,
In your heart, still
Do they echo and speak?
இணைகையிலே இறகெனவே
இந்த காதல் ஆனதே
பிரிகையிலே பெருமலையாய்
என்னை கொள்ளுகின்றதே
When uniting, like a feather,
This love became light.
When separating, like a huge mountain,
It is crushing me to death.
மனமே வலியா
பிரிவே வழியா
கழியா நினைவின் பிழையா
Oh heart, are you pain?
Is separation the only way?
Is it the fault of memories that never fade away?
Manamae valiyaa
Oh heart, are you pain?
Pirivae vazhiyaa
Is separation the only way?
Kazhiyaa ninaivin pizhaiyaa
Is it the fault of memories that never fade away?
Vizhi edhiril thaeyum
Waning right in front of my eyes,
Namadhu oru vaanam
Our single shared sky
Virigiradhu pennae
Is expanding with distance, oh girl.
Idhayangalil kaayam
There is a deep wound in our hearts.
Kadalil alai paayum
Like waves surging in the sea,
Enadhu mouna raagam
My silent ragam
Naduvil adhu ooyum
Ceases in the middle;
Enil adhuvaa nyaayam
If so, is that fair?
Humming….
[Humming]
Hey ennaalum endhan
Hey, forever as my
Moochaaga vaazhvaen
Breath you would live,
Endru koorinaai
You used to say so.
Ennaanadhendru
What happened to that,
Yedhaanadhendru
How it changed like this,
Neenga paarkkiraai
You just watch passively.
Oru kanavaai
Like a dream,
Siru kanavaai
Like a fleeting dream,
Undhan kaadhal aagumaa
Will your love turn into that?
Oru nodiyil
In a single second,
Siru nodiyil
In a tiny moment,
Enai neengi poogumaa
Will it leave me and go?

There is a deep wound in our hearts.
Un muthathin vaasam
The fragrance of your kiss
En kaatril innum
In my breeze, still
Veesuginradhae
Keeps wafting.
En theendal sorkal
My tender words,
Un nenjil innum
In your heart, still
Paesuginradhaa
Do they echo and speak?
Inaigayilae iragenavae
When uniting, like a feather,
Indha kaadhal aanadhae
This love became light.
Pirigayilae perumalaiyaai
When separating, like a huge mountain,
Enai kollugindradhae
It is crushing me to death.
Manamae valiyaa
Oh heart, are you pain?
Pirivae vazhiyaa
Is separation the only way?
Kazhiyaa ninaivin pizhaiyaa
Is it the fault of memories that never fade away?
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song explores the deep emotional turmoil of heartbreak and separation between two lovers. The protagonist contemplates whether pain is the true nature of love and questions if parting ways is the only remaining option. The lyrics highlight the tragic contrast between the sweetness of past promises and the current cold distance, expressing how love that felt weightless like a feather when together now crushes the soul like a massive mountain in separation.
