யார் போகும் வழியில் விழியே போகிறாய்
தினமும் நீ போகும் திசையில் இதயம் போகுதே
யார் போகும் வழியில் விழியே போகிறாய்
தினமும் நீ போகும் திசையில் இதயம் போகுதே
Oh eyes, along whose path are you wandering?
Every day, my heart travels in the direction you go.
Oh eyes, along whose path are you wandering?
Every day, my heart travels in the direction you go.
ஏன் இளமை பூத்ததோ
என் வாழ்விலே தானாக ஆனந்தம் தேடி வருதோ
யார் போகும் வழியில் விழியே போகிறாய்
தினமும் நீ போகும் திசையில் இதயம் போகுதே
Has my youth bloomed?
Is happiness searching for me and entering my life on its own?
Oh eyes, along whose path are you wandering?
Every day, my heart travels in the direction you go.
மேகம் ஓடிப்போனாலும் வானம் ஓடிப்போவதில்லை
தேகம் மாறிப்போனாலும் தாகம் மாறப்போவதில்லை
பாதை மாறவில்லை…பார்வை மாறிப்போனதே
யார் போகும் வழியில் விழியே போகிறாய்
தினமும் நீ போகும் திசையில் இதயம் போகுதே
Even if clouds drift away, the sky never runs away.
Even if the physical body moves away, the inner thirst never changes.
The path hasn't changed, yet my gaze has transformed.
Oh eyes, along whose path are you wandering?
Every day, my heart travels in the direction you go.
வானம் போடும் மேலாடை வண்ணம் இங்கு மாறிடலாம்
நாளும் தேடி பார்த்தாலும் நானும் இன்று மாறியதேன்
கண்கள் பார்த்த பார்வை காதலாக மாறுதோ
The colors of the sky's outer cloak may change here.
Though I search day after day, why have I transformed today?
Is the glance caught by the eyes slowly turning into love?
யார் போகும் வழியில் விழியே போகிறாய்
தினமும் நீ போகும் திசையில் இதயம் போகுதே
ஏன் இளமை பூத்ததோ
என் வாழ்விலே தானாக ஆனந்தம் தேடி வருதோ
Oh eyes, along whose path are you wandering?
Every day, my heart travels in the direction you go.
Has my youth bloomed?
Is happiness searching for me and entering my life on its own?
யார் போகும் வழியில் விழியே போகிறாய்
தினமும் நீ போகும் திசையில் இதயம் போகுதே
யார் போகும் வழியில் விழியே போகிறாய்
தினமும் நீ போகும் திசையில் இதயம் போகுதே
Oh eyes, along whose path are you wandering?
Every day, my heart travels in the direction you go.
Oh eyes, along whose path are you wandering?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poetic track revolves around the awakening of romantic feelings and the sweet confusion that comes with youth. The protagonist wonders why their eyes constantly follow a particular path and why their heart wanders relentlessly in that same direction. They ponder whether youth has finally blossomed in full force, bringing unexpected joy and affection into their life automatically.

Ethugai (Second-letter Rhyme)
“Megam odiponaalum vaanam odi povadhillai / Dhegam odi ponaalum thaagam maarapovadhillai”
The second letter 'ga' (g) in Megam and Dhegam creates a subtle second-letter Tamil rhyme scheme across the two lines.
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Megam odiponaalum vaanam odi povadhillai / Dhegam odi ponaalum thaagam maarapovadhillai”
Both lines end with the rhyming suffix 'povadhillai' / 'maarapovadhillai'.
Metaphor
“Megam odiponaalum vaanam odi povadhillai”
The transient clouds represent passing moments or physical distance, while the eternal sky symbolizes steadfast love and devotion.
