| Male | |
| Yedhum solladhae | Don't say anything, |
| Ellaam ennaalae | It is all because of me, |
| Endrae naanum ingu | Thus, even I here, |
| Kandu kondenae | Have come to realize. |
| Male | |
| Yaaro pol ennai | When you looked at me, |
| Neeyum paarthalae | Like I am a stranger, |
| Uyirum rendu thundaai | My soul split into two pieces, |
| Poga kandenae | I felt it break apart. |
| Male | |
| Pen megam endhan | The female cloud touches my lightning, |
| Minnal thottu kanneer sindhudhae | And sheds tears of grief. |
| Neerodai nadhi paadhai vittu | The stream left the river's path, |
| Maari ponadhae | And strayed far away. |
| Ennai kolludhu en pizhai thaanae | My own mistake is killing me, |
| Oh pennae | Oh girl... |

ஏதும் சொல்லாதே
எல்லாம் என்னாலே
என்றே நானும் இங்கு
கண்டு கொண்டேனே
Don't say anything,
It is all because of me,
Thus, even I here,
Have come to realize.
யாரோ போல் என்னை
நீயும் பார்த்தாலே
உயிரும் ரெண்டு துண்டாய்
போகக்கண்டேனே
When you looked at me,
Like I am a stranger,
My soul split into two pieces,
I felt it break apart.
பெண் மேகம் எந்தன்
மின்னல் தொட்டு கண்ணீர் சிந்துதே
நீரோடை நதி பாதை விட்டு
மாறி போனதே
என்னை கொல்லுது என் பிழை தானே
ஓ பெண்ணே
The female cloud touches my lightning,
And sheds tears of grief.
The stream left the river's path,
And strayed far away.
My own mistake is killing me,
Oh girl...
ஏதும் சொல்லாதே
எல்லாம் என்னாலே
என்றே நானும் இங்கு
கண்டு கொண்டேனே
Don't say anything,
It is all because of me,
Thus, even I here,
Have come to realize.
யாரோ போல் என்னை
நீயும் பார்த்தாலே
உயிரும் ரெண்டு துண்டாய்
போகக்கண்டேனே
When you looked at me,
Like I am a stranger,
My soul split into two pieces,
I felt it break apart.
Yedhum solladhae
Don't say anything,
Ellaam ennaalae
It is all because of me,
Endrae naanum ingu
Thus, even I here,
Kandu kondenae
Have come to realize.
Yaaro pol ennai
When you looked at me,
Neeyum paarthalae
Like I am a stranger,
Uyirum rendu thundaai
My soul split into two pieces,
Poga kandenae
I felt it break apart.
Pen megam endhan
The female cloud touches my lightning,
Minnal thottu kanneer sindhudhae
And sheds tears of grief.
Neerodai nadhi paadhai vittu
The stream left the river's path,
Maari ponadhae
And strayed far away.
Ennai kolludhu en pizhai thaanae
My own mistake is killing me,
Oh pennae
Oh girl...
Yedhum solladhae
Don't say anything,
Ellaam ennaalae
It is all because of me,
Endrae naanum ingu
Thus, even I here,
Kandu kondenae
Have come to realize.
Yaaro pol ennai
When you looked at me,
Neeyum paarthalae
Like I am a stranger,
Uyirum rendu thundaai
My soul split into two pieces,
Poga kandenae
I felt it break apart.
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This emotional song depicts a protagonist overwhelmed by regret and remorse after causing distress in his relationship. Recognizing that he is entirely to blame for the rift, he admits that his own mistakes are tormenting him. The pain becomes unbearable when the person he loves treats him like a stranger, making him feel as though his very soul has been severed in two. Using poetic nature metaphors—such as clouds weeping tears upon encountering lightning and a stream wandering off its natural course—the song conveys a sense of tragic disruption, deep melancholy, and the heartbreaking realization of unfixable mistakes.
