Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?
Tell me, whose fault is this?
Whom should I go and ask?
Does the ocean of milk
Turn into mere foam and disappear?
It never ends, it never ends,
These tears will never run dry.
Without seeing your steps,
Even the stars in the sky cannot sleep.
Oh girl, won't you come back?
My precious one, won't you come back?
Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?
Won't you come back to me?
As a mother's heart turns to stone,
As you, my life, slip away,
From this one separation, every stirring
Turns into poison.
Where are you... where is life?
The one that breathes life with a smile,
Where is that face?
Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?
Won't you come here?
Won't you come today?
My life, won't you come?
Won't you give me life?
Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?
My darling, won't you come?
My precious one, won't you come?
Where have you gone?
Won't you come back to me?
Won't you come back to me?
Where have you gone?
Won't you come back?
Won't you come back?

Beyond the translation

'Enge Ponayoo' from the movie Blackmail (2025) is a deeply emotional lament expressive of intense longing, pain, and agonizing separation. The singer questions destiny and searches helplessly for a loved one whose absence renders life completely motionless and poisonous. The lyricist captures a sense of profound despair where even nature—symbolized by sleepless stars—feels the sorrow of the beloved's disappearance. Through endearing terms of endearment and repetitive cries for return, the song conveys the irreplaceable void left behind, appealing directly to the beloved to return and restore life.
