எங்க புள்ள இருக்க
நீ சொல்லடி
கண்ணுமுன்ன வந்து நீ
கொஞ்சம் நில்லடி
Where are you, my girl?
Tell me, dear
Come before my eyes
And stand for a little while
ஒத்தையா வேகுறேன்
மொத்தமா நோகுறேன்
இது ஏனோ தானோ
இல்ல இல்ல உசுரே
I am burning all alone
I am completely hurting inside
Is this just something casual?
No, no, my sweet life
எங்க புள்ள இருக்க
நீ சொல்லடி
கண்ணுமுன்ன வந்து நீ
கொஞ்சம் நில்லடி
Where are you, my girl?
Tell me, dear
Come before my eyes
And stand for a little while
அரிதான பொருளாக தெரிந்தாயடி
அடைகாக்க முடியாமல் தொலைத்தேனடி
எனக்குள்ளே புது மூச்சை கொடுத்தாயடி
சுழல் போல அதை நீயே இழுத்தாயடி
You appeared like a rare, precious gift
Unable to nurture and protect it, I lost you
You gave a new breath within me
Like a whirlpool, you sucked it back yourself
பொத்தி வச்ச ஓன் நினைப்பு
பொத்துக்கிட்டு கொட்டுதடி
சுத்தி விட்ட ராட்டினமா
என் மனசு சுத்துதடி
இது ஏனோ தானோ
இல்ல இல்ல உசுரே
The cherished thoughts of you I kept hidden
Are bursting open and pouring out
Like a giant wheel that was set spinning
My heart is spinning round and round
Is this just something casual?
No, no, my sweet life
எங்க புள்ள இருக்க
நீ சொல்லடி
கண்ணுமுன்ன வந்து நீ
கொஞ்சம் நில்லடி
Where are you, my girl?
Tell me, dear
Come before my eyes
And stand for a little while
அஹா....அஹா...ஆஆ....ஆஆ...
அஹா....அஹா...ஆஆ....ஆஆ...
அஹா....ஆஆ....அஹா.....ஆஆ...ஆஆ...

Ahaaa..ahaa..haa…aaa…aaa
Ahaaa..ahaa..haa…aaa…aaa
Ahaa..aaa.haaa…aaa…ahaa…aaa…aaa…aa….
Ahaa..aaa.haaa…aaa..
எனக்கான வரம்போல பிறந்தாயடி
தவமேதும் புரியாமல் கிடைத்தாயடி
இனிமேலும் இவன் வாழ முடியாதடி
இறந்தாலும் உனைத்தேடி அலைவேனடி
You were born like a divine boon meant for me
I obtained you without even performing any penance
He cannot live any longer without you
Even if I die, I will wander searching for you
உன்ன இவன் கண்ணுமுழி
பெத்தவளா காணுதடி
உன்ன எண்ணி அப்படியே
செத்திடவும் தோணுதடி
இது ஏனோ தானோ
இல்ல இல்ல உசுரே
The pupil of this guy's eyes
Sees you as the mother who gave birth
Thinking about you just like this
I feel like dying right away
Is this just something casual?
No, no, my sweet life
எங்க புள்ள இருக்க
நீ சொல்லடி
கண்ணுமுன்ன வந்து நீ
கொஞ்சம் நில்லடி

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Yenga Pulla Irukka from the movie Kayal (2014) is a deeply emotional Tamil song expressing a lover's intense grief, longing, and desperation upon losing his beloved. The protagonist frantically calls out to his partner, begging her to appear before his eyes even for a brief moment. He describes his inner agony as an unbearable solitary burn and compares his disoriented state of mind to a spinning giant wheel, overwhelmed by memories that pour out uncontrollably. He views her as a priceless blessing granted without penance, acknowledging her paramount importance in his life—reverencing her with the warmth and sanctity usually reserved for a mother. His devotion is so absolute that he declares his love will transcend mortality, promising to search for her even beyond death.
