| Yaarumillaa vaazhkaiyil | In a life where there is no one else, |
| Nee irukka yenginen | I longed for you to be there. |
| Kaalam varai kaadhalaai | With love that lasts till the end of time, |
| Un madiyil thoonginen | I slept peacefully in your lap. |
| Male | |
| Nee pirinthu pogiraai | Now you walk away, separating from me, |
| En uyiril odaigiren | And I break deep within my soul. |
| Enji vitta dhoosilae | From the tiny dust particles left behind, |
| Naan ennai korkkiren | I try to piece myself back together. |
| Male | |
| Aval paarvaigal sumakkamalae | Without bearing her gaze, |
| Andha naalaiyum varuthae | Even that day arrives. |
| Nodi nerathil uyar vanathu | Reaching the high heavens in a split second, |

| Naan oligiren | I hide myself away. |
| Aanaathai kaattilae naan karaigiren | I dissolve into an orphaned forest. |
| Kaneerai kappaattri unakaaga serkkiren | I save my tears and gather them for you, |

யாருமில்லா வாழ்க்கையில்
நீ இருக்க ஏங்கினேன்
காலம் வரை காதலாய்
உன் மடியில் தூங்கினேன்
Aaa... aaa... aa...
Haa... aaa... aaa... aaa... aa...
In a life where there is no one else,
I longed for you to be there.
With love that lasts till the end of time,
I slept peacefully in your lap.
நீ பிரிந்து போகிறாய்
என் உயிரில் ஒடைகிறேன்
எஞ்சி விட்ட தூசிலே
நான் என்னை கோர்க்கிறேன்
Now you walk away, separating from me,
And I break deep within my soul.
From the tiny dust particles left behind,
I try to piece myself back together.
அவள் பார்வைகள் சுமக்காமலே
அந்த நாளையும் வருதே
நொடி நேரத்தில் உயர்வானது
அந்த சாவென்னும் வரமே
Without bearing her gaze,
Even that day arrives.
Reaching the high heavens in a split second,
That boon called death.
நீ தொலைத்த ஆழத்தில்
நான் ஒழிகிறேன்
அனாதை காட்டிலே நான் கரைகிறேன்
கண்ணீரை காப்பாற்றி உனக்காக சேர்க்கிறேன்
தடாகமே......
In the depths where you lost me,
I hide myself away.
I dissolve into an orphaned forest.
I save my tears and gather them for you,
Oh reservoir of love...
தாகம் இல்லாத
மீனும் தண்ணீரில்
வாழும் நியாத்தை ஏற்கிறேன்
யாரும் செல்லாத தீவின் மையத்தில்
புள்ளி பூவாக போகிறேன்
Without any thirst,
Even a fish living in water—
I accept the logic of its existence.
At the center of an uninhabited island,
I am fading away like a tiny dotted flower.
ஈசல் ரெக்கைமேல்
ஈயின் பாதங்கள்
பாரம் எப்படி தாங்குவேன்
நீயே இல்லாத கீறல் கொள்ளாத
நெஞ்சை எங்கே நான் வாங்குவேன்
Upon the fragile wings of a winged termite,
Even the weight of a fly's footstep—
How can I bear such a burden?
Without you around, a heart that doesn't get scratched—
Where can I go buy such a heart?
கண்ணீரை காப்பாற்றி
உனக்காக சேர்க்கிறேன்
தடாகமே.....
Saving my tears,
I gather them for you,
Oh reservoir...
ஆஅ.....ஆஅ.....ஆ.....
ஹா....ஆஅ.....ஆஅ.....ஆஅ....ஆ.....
Aaa... aaa... aa...
Haa... aaa... aaa... aaa... aa...
Aaa…..aaa….aa….
Aaa... aaa... aa...
Haa…..aaa…..aaa….aaa…aa…
Haa... aaa... aaa... aaa... aa...
Yaarumillaa vaazhkaiyil

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poignant song expresses the intense grief, despair, and emotional fragility of a lover coping with a sudden separation. The protagonist describes feeling completely desolate and orphaned without his beloved. He compares his internal state to fading away in an isolated forest or an uninhabited island, gathering all his grief and tears into an endless reservoir ('Thadaagam'). The narrative highlights how even the lightest emotional weight feels unbearable in his shattered condition. The protagonist reflects on the idea of death as a merciful boon that could end his suffering, expressing a deep yearning for a heart that wouldn't feel broken or scarred in her absence.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uvamaani)
“Kaneerai kappaattri unakaaga serkkiren / Thadaagamae…”
The lyrics metaphorically compare the vast collection of tears shed in heartbreak to a large lake or reservoir ('Thadaagam').
Hyperbole & Imagery
“Eesal rekkai mel / Eeyin padhangal / Baaram eppadi thaanguven”
Uses extreme hyperbole to depict emotional vulnerability, questioning how one can bear even the weight of a fly walking on a termite's delicate wing.
Monai (Initial Rhyme / Alliteration)
“Eesal rekkai mel / Eeyin padhangal”
The repeating starting sound 'Ee' ('Eesal' and 'Eeyin') creates a rhythmic Tamil Monai structure.
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Naan oligiren / Aanaathai kaattilae naan karaigiren”
The rhyming suffix sound '-iren' at the end of consecutive lines ('oligiren' and 'karaigiren') forms Iyaipu.
