Where are you, my girl?

Won't you tell me?

Come before my eyes

and stand for a moment.

I am burning all alone,

I am aching all over.

This isn't just a casual feeling,

no, it isn't, my life.

Where are you, my girl?

Won't you tell me?

Come before my eyes

and stand for a moment.

You appeared like a rare treasure,

failing to protect you, I lost you.

You gave me a new breath of life,

and like a whirlpool, you pulled it right back.

The memories of you I kept hidden

are now bursting and spilling out.

Like a spinning giant wheel,

my mind keeps spinning around.

This isn't just a casual feeling,

no, it isn't, my life.

Where are you, my girl?

Won't you tell me?

Come before my eyes

and stand for a moment.

Aha... aha... aa... aa...

Aha... aha... aa... aa...

Aha... aa... aha... aa... aa...

Aha... aa... aha... aa... aa...

You were born like a blessing meant just for me,

I received you without even doing any penance.

I can no longer go on living,

even if I die, I will wander searching for you.

My eyes look at you

and see the mother who gave me life.

Thinking of you,

I feel like dying right here.

This isn't just a casual feeling,

no, it isn't, my life.

Where are you, my girl?

Won't you tell me?

Come before my eyes

and stand for a moment.

I am burning all alone,

I am aching all over.

This isn't just a casual feeling,

no, it isn't, my life.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

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.
