ஏனடி ஏனடி
காற்றிலே ஆடும்
காகிதம் போல
தூரமாய் போகவே
நேர்ந்தது ஏனடி
Why, oh girl, why?
Swaying in the wind
Like a piece of paper
To drift far away
Why did it happen, my girl?
கானலாய் தெரிகிற
காதலி நானும்
உண்மையே என்று
நம்பியே அருகிலே
சென்றது வீனடி
Appearing like a mirage
Even I, as your lover
Believing it to be real
Believing and going near
Has gone to waste, my girl!
வாவ் ஒஹ்ஹோஒ...(4)
Wow ohooo…
ஏனடி ஏனடி
காற்றிலே ஆடும்
காகிதம் போல
தூரமாய் போகவே
நேர்ந்தது ஏனடி
Why, oh girl, why?
Swaying in the wind
Like a piece of paper
To drift far away
Why did it happen, my girl?
கானலாய் தெரிகிற
காதலி நானும்
உண்மையே என்று
நம்பியே அருகிலே
சென்றது வீனடி
Appearing like a mirage
Even I, as your lover
Believing it to be real
Believing and going near
Has gone to waste, my girl!
இரு விழிகள் போதவில்லை
அழுதிட கண்கள் கோடி
எனக்கில்லையே
Two eyes are not enough
Ten million eyes to cry
I do not have!
கண்ணுக்கு இமை
இன்று தூரம்
நெஞ்சுக்கு நினைவு
இன்று தூரம்
உடலுக்கு உயிரின்று
தூரம் ஆனதே
To the eye, the eyelid
Is far away today
To the heart, the memory
Is far away today
To the body, the soul today
Has become distant!
கிளை மேலே
இணை சேர்ந்த பூக்கள்
புயலாலே ஒன்றிங்கு
மண்மேல் வீழ்ந்தாலும்
அது மீண்டும் சேர கூடுமோ
On top of the branch
The flowers paired together
Due to a storm here
Even if they fall onto the ground
Can they ever reunite again?
உன் தோளில்
நான் சாய்ந்த காதல் எங்கே?
நம் கைகள் கை
கோர்த்த வேர்வை எங்கே?
Where is the love where I leaned on your shoulder?
Where is that love?
When our hands intertwined,
Where is that warmth?
நமக்காக நாம்
செய்த உலகம் எங்கே?
எல்லாமே கண்
முன்னே மறைந்ததெங்கே?
The world we built for ourselves
Where is that world?
Everything right in front of my eyes
Where did it vanish?
எது வரையில் வானம்
உண்டோ அது வரை
மேகம் போக முடியாதம்மா
அடிப்பதுவும் அனைப்பதுவும்
காதல் என்று உணரும்
காதல் உடையாதம்மா
As far as the sky exists
That far the cloud cannot go
Oh girl, it is impossible
Both hurting and embracing each other
A heart that realizes this is love
Love will never shatter, my girl!
உன் சுவாசம் காற்றோடு
வாழ நினைத்தேனே
வேறென்ன கூற எல்லாமே
ஏன் இன்று மாறி போனதோ
With your breath in the wind
I wished to live
What else can be said, everything
Why did it change today?
காற்றென்றால் கடந்தோடும்
என்று புரியாமல் இருந்தேனே
அன்று என் மூச்சும்
தொலைவாக இன்று ஆனதோ
Saying that wind will just blow away
Thus
I lived without understanding back then
Today my very breath has gone far away
Has it become so?
உன்னோடு நான் வாழ்ந்த
நொடிகள்ளெல்லாம்
கண்ணாடி அது போல
உடைந்ததடி
ஒன்றாக நாம் சேர்த்த
நினைவு எல்லாம்
ஒவ்வொன்றாய் என் முன்னாள்
தெரிந்ததடி
All the moments I lived with you
Every single moment
Just like glass
It shattered, my girl!
All the memories we gathered together
All those memories
One by one before me
Appeared, my girl!
நினைத்ததெல்லாம்
கிடைத்து விட்டால்
வலிகளை மனம் தான்
உணராதம்மா
கிடைத்ததுதெல்லாம் பிடித்து விட்டால்
விழிகளும் அழுதிட
பழகாதம்மா
If everything one thought of
Was achieved easily
The pains of life, the heart
Would never feel, my girl!
If one liked everything they got
Even the eyes to weep
Would never learn, my girl!
என் காதல்
என் கோபம் தானா
உன் காதல்
உன் மௌனம் தானா
தெரியாமல் இருகின்றோம்
ஏனோ பாரடி
Is my love
Just my anger?
Is your love
Just your silence?
Remaining clueless
Why are we like this, look girl!
ஒரு வார்த்தை நான்
சொன்னால் போதும்
மறு வார்த்தை நீ
சொன்னால் போதும்
எல்லாமே தலைகீழாய்
மாறும் பேசடி
Just one word, if I
Speak, it is enough
Another word, if you
Speak, it is enough
Everything turned upside down
Will change back, talk to me girl!
ஏனடி ஏனடி
காற்றிலே ஆடும்
காகிதம் போல
தூரமாய் போகவே
நேர்ந்தது ஏனடி
Why, oh girl, why?
Swaying in the wind

To drift far away

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This emotional track captures the profound grief and disillusionment of a lover navigating separation and misunderstanding. The protagonist compares his fragile connection to a piece of paper tossed by the wind or a mirage that disappears upon approaching it. He laments how intimate memories—built shoulder to shoulder—have vanished like shattered glass, leaving a deep distance between his body and soul.
