ஏதேதோ ஏதேதோ
ஏதேதோ ஏதேதோ ஆகிப்போச்சே
என் கண்ணாடி கூண்டில் உன்
கல் வந்து மோதி போச்சே
Something or the other,
Something or the other has gone wrong.
Into my glass cage,
Your stone came and crashed.
இது என்ன புது
வலியா உனக்கது தெரியலயா
எனக்குள்ளே ஏதும் பிழையா
என்னை நானே தேடும் நிலையா
Is this some kind of new pain?
Don't you understand it?
Is there some flaw within me?
Am I in a state of searching for myself?
ஏதேதோ ஏதேதோ
ஏதேதோ ஏதேதோ ஆகிப்போச்சே
என் கண்ணாடி கூண்டில் உன் கல்
வந்து மோதி போச்சே
Something or the other,
Something or the other has gone wrong.
Into my glass cage,
Your stone came and crashed.
இது என்ன புது
வலியா உனக்கது தெரியலயா

Am I in a state of searching for myself?
நீ இருந்த வீட்டிலே
என் நினைவு வசிக்கும் நீ
அணைத்த ஞாபகம் என்
உயிரை குடிக்கும்
In the home where you used to stay,
My memory now resides.
The memory of your embrace,
Slowly consumes my life.
நீ படுத்த மெத்தையில்
என் உறக்கம் மரிக்கும் சொல்லு
பெண்ணே எங்குஇருக்கிறாய்
On the bed where you used to lie,
My sleep now dies away.
Tell me girl, where are you?
நீயும் நானும் ஒன்றென்ன
பேசி கொண்ட பழக்கம் நீ என்னை
விட்டு போனதால் ஏக்கம்
கொண்டு துக்கிடும்
That you and I were as one,
The habit of talking together,
Since you left me behind,
Grieves with intense longing.
நீ இல்லாத
வாழ்க்கையில் என்
நெஞ்சை சுட்டு எரிக்கும்
சொல்லு பெண்ணே
எங்குஇருக்கிறாய்
In a life without your presence,
It scorches and burns my heart.
Tell me girl, where are you?
நிஜமாய் நிஜமாய்
என் கண்ணு ரெண்டை
காணவில்லையே நிஜமாய்
நிஜமாய் நீ போன பின்பு
வாழ்க்கை இல்லையே
Truly, truly,
Both my eyes can no longer see.
Truly, truly,
There is no life after you are gone.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Yededho Yededho' expresses deep melancholy, confusion, and grief following the painful loss or disappearance of a beloved partner. The protagonist feels shattered, comparing their fragile heart and sheltered life to a delicate glass structure destroyed by a sudden stone thrown by love. The lyrics dwell on everyday places—the home, the bed, and shared memories—where the absence of the loved one causes unbearable emptiness and insomnia. Ultimately, the song portrays a psychological spiral where the speaker questions their own identity and struggles to find purpose or life in the wake of abandonment.
