எங்க போன எங்க போன ராசா
நெஞ்சு பாரம் தாங்கலியே
எங்க போன எங்க போன ராசா
சொல்லி விட்டு போகலியே
Where did you go, where did you go, my dear king?
The burden in my heart is unbearable.
Where did you go, where did you go, my dear king?
You departed without even telling us goodbye.
தரணி ஆளவே
செங்காட்டில் பிறந்த ராசனே
பறவையாகவே
தங்காம பறந்த நேசனே
Fit to rule the entire world,
O king born in the red soil!
Like a bird,
O beloved friend who flew away without staying!
ஊர சேர கேட்டாயே
ஒன்னு கூடியாச்சே
கண்ண கெட்டிபோட்டாலும்
ஊரே கண்ணீர் ஆச்சே
You wished for the entire village to unite,
Now everyone has gathered together.
Even if eyes are blindfolded,
The whole village is drowned in tears.
எங்க போன எங்க போன ராசா
நெஞ்சு பாரம் தாங்கலியே
சிங்கம் போல வந்த மகாராசா
சொல்லி விட்டு போகலியே
Where did you go, where did you go, my dear king?
The burden in my heart is unbearable.
O majestic king who arrived like a lion,
You departed without even telling us goodbye.
எதிரிக்கும் தீம நீ நினக்கலியே
மறுத்தவன் கூட உன்ன வெறுக்கலியே
எங்களுக்காக ஓடி வந்து
ஊர காத்த சாமியே
You never wished ill upon your enemy,
Even the one who opposed you did not hate you.
Running to us for our sake,
O deity who protected the village!
உன் நிழலும் கூட
பாசமான ஆளு என்று தேடுமே
ஊருக்காக வாழ்ந்த வீரனே ஓ…
தேரில் ஏறி தூரம் போவதேன் ஓ… ஓஹஹோ…
Even your shadow
Will search for an affectionate soul.
O brave hero who lived for the village!
Why are you riding a chariot towards a distant place?
எங்க போன எங்க போன ராசா
நெஞ்சு பாரம் தாங்கலியே
சிங்கம் போல வந்த மகாராசா
சொல்லி விட்டு போகலியே
Where did you go, where did you go, my dear king?
The burden in my heart is unbearable.
Where did you go, where did you go, my dear king?
You departed without even telling us goodbye.
உயரப் போகவே தந்தாயே
சிறகு ஆயிரம்
மறையப் போகுதே உன்னோட
சிரிக்கும் பூ முகம்
To help us soar high, you gave us
A thousand wings.
Now it vanishes along with your
Smiling, flower-like face.
இந்த நாளு மாறாதோ
மீண்டும் வந்து சேர
பொய்யா மாறிப் போகாதோ
மீண்டும் எழுந்து வாயேன்
Will not this day change?
So that you come back and join us again?
Will this tragedy not turn out to be a lie?
Please rise up and come back!
எங்க போன எங்க போன ராசா…
Where did you go, where did you go, my dear king?
சிங்கம் போல வந்த மகாராசா….
O majestic king who arrived like a lion!
Enga pona enga pona rasa
Where did you go, where did you go, my dear king?
Nenju baram thangaliyae
The burden in my heart is unbearable.
Enga pona enga pona rasa
Where did you go, where did you go, my dear king?

Onnu koodiyaachae
Now everyone has gathered together.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Enga Pona Enga Pona Rasa from the movie Kazhuvethi Moorkkan is a poignant eulogy expressing deep grief over the loss of a beloved leader and protector of the village. Sung with soul-stirring emotion by Vaikom Vijayalakshmi, the song laments the sudden departure of a heroic figure born from the red soil who lived selflessly for his community. The lyrics highlight his noble virtues—how he harbored no ill intentions toward enemies, stood up for the helpless, and united the village. The villagers plead desperately for his return, clinging to the hope that his tragic death might turn out to be a bad dream or a lie. They contrast his vibrant life, characterized by a smiling flower-like face and lion-like strength, with the sorrowful sight of his final journey, leaving behind an entire village submerged in tears and an unbearable weight in their hearts.
