My dear love,
Never ever change.
O love that gave me pain,
That wound will never heal.
Even after hearing stories that ended in sorrow,
My heart still longs for you.
The warmth your hands once gave
Is now turning into a burning fever.
Just like a mirror, love
Ends up shattered in the end.
Just like a kite adrift,
It drifts further and further away.
Just like the fleeting moonlight,
It vanishes in a short moment.
Just like a crashing waterfall,
It makes tears pour down like a stream.
The pain grows, my life slips away.
The pain grows, my life slips away.
Slipping away, slipping away, slipping away...
Slipping away, slipping away, slipping away...
Slipping away, slipping away...
Seeing a mirage in the distance
Is only a trick of the eyes,
Yet accepting the tears that roll down the cheek
Happens only because of love.
Eyes filled to the brim with love
Melt away in this separation.
The kiss that rested on the cheek
Has dried up in memories.
As you walk away into the distance,
My very soul slips away from me, girl.
When I look for my life,
You are not here beside me, girl.
Just like the fleeting moonlight,
It vanishes in a short moment.
Just like a crashing waterfall,
It makes tears pour down like a stream.
Between your fingers,
When another finger caresses,
Against your lips,
When another mustache brushes,
Inside your arms,
When another body embraces you,
If none of those belong to me,
Could your heart ever truly accept it?
My love, my love, my love, my love...
In this place where you belong,
If another man were to stand,
My heart could never bear it, my love.
My body could never accept it.
My soul would not survive.
My soul would not survive.
Oh my love, my dearest love...
Just like a mirror, love
Ends up shattered in the end.
Just like a kite adrift,
It drifts further and further away.
Just like the fleeting moonlight,
It vanishes in a short moment.
Just like a crashing waterfall,
It makes tears pour down like a stream.
The pain grows, my life slips away.
The pain grows, my life slips away.
Slipping away, slipping away, slipping away...
Slipping away, slipping away, slipping away...
Slipping away, slipping away...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song portrays the excruciating heartbreak and lingering grief that follows a painful breakup. The lyrics vividly describe how romantic memories, once warm and comforting, distort into a emotional fever. Love is depicted as fragile and transient—like a mirror that shatters, a kite drifting out of reach, short-lived moonlight, and a waterfall that transforms into endless tears.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Simile (Uvamai Ani)

Kaadhal oru kannadiyaai

Love is directly compared to a mirror ('kannadiyaai') that inevitably shatters at the end.

Metaphor (Uruvagak Ani)

Kaneerum aruviyaai aagudhae

The speaker's tears are poetically metaphorized as a cascading waterfall ('aruviyaai').

Anaphora / Repetition (Adukku Thodar)

Pogudhae pogudhae pogudhae

The word 'Pogudhae' (it goes/slips away) is repeated consecutively to emphasize the slipping away of life and love.

Ethugai (Second-letter Rhyme)

Kangalaal kaanal nerai / Kannathil vilum neerai

The second consonant sound 'n/ng' aligns across these lines, creating a rhythmic Tamil poetic structure.
