உறவொன்று
உறவில்லை
யாரின் மேல் பிழை
மனம் சொல்ல
மனம் இல்லை
யாரின் மேல் பிழை
A relationship
Is a relationship no longer
Whose fault is it?
To speak one's mind
The heart lacks the heart to do so
Whose fault is it?
நினைவொன்று
சிறையானால்
யாரின் மேல் பிழை
பிழை இங்கே
முறையானால்
யாரின் மேல் பிழை
If a memory
Becomes a prison
Whose fault is it?
If the mistake here
Becomes the norm
Whose fault is it?
ஆண்கள் :
ஏன் கோபங்கள் நீங்காமல்
இந்த போலிச் சிரிப்பு
ஏன் பாசங்கள் சொல்லாமல்
இந்த நீண்ட நடிப்பு.....ஏன்....
Even after crossing
So many distances to come here
Why did you leave your heart behind
Stuck in your yesterday?
தூரம் பல தூரம்
கடந்திங்கே வந்தும்
நெஞ்சத்தை ஏனோ
உன் நேற்றில் விட்டாய்
Even though a word
Was born within you
Stripping away its wings
Why did you release it into my sky?
வார்த்தை ஒரு வார்த்தை
உன்னுள்ளே பிறந்தும்
றெக்கைகள் நீக்கி
என் வானில் விட்டாய்
Do not hide it
For it is time that fades away
Do not deny it
As your feet step backward
As your eyes speak the truth
மறைக்காதே
மறைவது காலம்தான்
மறுக்காதே
ஆண்கள் :
உன் கால்கள் பின் செல்ல
உன் கண்கள் மெய் சொல்ல
A relationship
Is a relationship no longer
Whose fault is it?
To speak one's mind
The heart lacks the heart to do so
Whose fault is it?
ஆண்கள் :
ஏன் கோபங்கள் நீங்காமல்
இந்த போலிச் சிரிப்பு
ஏன் பாசங்கள் சொல்லாமல்
இந்த நீண்ட நடிப்பு ஏன்
For many wounds to heal
A few days are required
For certain wounds to heal
A lifetime is required
உறவொன்று
உறவில்லை
யாரின் மேல் பிழை
மனம் சொல்ல
மனம் இல்லை
யாரின் மேல் பிழை
To express love
There are tens of millions of ways
To express certain anger
There are no words available here
காயம் பல ஆற
சில நாட்கள் வேண்டும்
காயம் சில ஆற
ஒரு ஆயுள் வேண்டும்
Will you open up?
After all, you were the one who shut it
Will you forget?
As your silence punishes
Even while your heart forgives
காதல் அதைக் கூற
சில கோடி வழிகள்
கோபம் சில கூற
இங்கில்லை மொழிகள்
A relationship
Is a relationship no longer
Whose fault is it?
To speak one's mind
The heart lacks the heart to do so
Whose fault is it?
திறப்பாயா
அடைத்தது நீ தானே
மறப்பாயா
உன் மௌனம் தண்டிக்க
உள் நெஞ்சம் மன்னிக்க
ஆண்கள் :
ஏன் கோபங்கள் நீங்காமல்
இந்த போலிச் சிரிப்பு
ஏன் பாசங்கள் சொல்லாமல்
இந்த நீண்ட நடிப்பு....ஏன்....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poignant track delves into the psychological and emotional strain of strained relationships, internal guilt, and unexpressed pain. The lyrics repeatedly ask 'Whose fault is it?' as the protagonist grapples with broken bonds, unhealed emotional wounds, and memories that feel like a prison. It reflects on how time passes, how silence can be a punishment, and how some emotional injuries require an entire lifetime to heal. The song beautifully captures the tension between unsaid words and inner truth—where one's body language or eyes reveal honesty even as words fail or hesitation takes over. Ultimately, Madhan Karky's lyrics offer a philosophical meditation on forgiveness, regret, and the difficulty of bridging distance created by emotional blockades.
