எதோ எதோ
உள்ளே அரும்புகின்றதே
அதை திரும்ப திரும்ப
நினைக்க சொல்லி விரும்புகின்றதே
மறுவாழ்வுக்கே மனம் ஏங்குதே
Something, something
Is beginning to bud inside
To think about it over and over again
The heart desires and urges me
The heart longs for a second life
எதோ எதோ
உள்ளே விசும்புகின்றதே
நீண்ட தூரம் நிழல் தேடும் பறவை
இமை ஓரம் மீண்டும் இலைப்பாற வேண்டும்
என்ன சொல்ல மனதின் மொழி நீயோ
Something, something
Is sobbing gently inside
A bird searching for shade across long distances
Must rest once again near the edge of the eyelid
What can I say, are you the language of the mind?
எதோ எதோ
உள்ளே அரும்புகின்றதே
அதை திரும்ப திரும்ப
நினைக்க சொல்லி விரும்புகின்றதே
Something, something
Is beginning to bud inside
To think about it over and over again
The heart desires and urges me
போகும் வழி எங்கும்
புத்தம் புது முட்கள்
முத்தமிடும் பயணம்
கூட கை பிடித்து
நானும் நடக்கையில்
இன்னும் என்ன சலனம்
Everywhere on the path we travel
Brand new thorns
A journey that kisses them
Holding hands alongside
As I walk too
What hesitation remains anymore?
நினைவுள்ள வரை
நெஞ்சில் கனப்பது
கண்ணில் வந்து மிதக்கும்
இமை கதகதப்பாய்
நீ மாற வேண்டும்
As long as memory remains
What weighs down the heart
Floats up into the eyes
With the warmth of eyelashes
You must transform
எழுதாத பாடல்
யார் கையில் சேரும்
உயிர் மீட்டும் இசையாய்
உன் பாடல் மாறும்
இருவர் :
பிரிவென்பதே சேரத்தானே அன்பே
An unwritten song
Into whose hands will it fall?
Like life-reviving music
Your song will transform
Separation exists only for us to reunite, my love
எதோ எதோ
உள்ளே அரும்புகின்றதே
அதை திரும்ப திரும்ப
நினைக்க சொல்லி விரும்புகின்றதே
Something, something
Is beginning to bud inside
To think about it over and over again
The heart desires and urges me
இமையும் கண்ணும் சேர
இதயம் இன்னும் சேர
செய்வதென்ன கேட்கிறேன்
இந்த கரையில் நானும்
அந்த கரையில் நீயும்
சேர்க்க நதியை கேட்கிறேன்
For the eyelid and the eye to join
For our hearts to unite further
I ask what needs to be done
Me on this riverbank
You on that riverbank
I ask the river to bring us together
எந்தன் வீட்டின் வழியோடும்
நதி நீரை கண்டு நிற்கிறேன்
சில தூரம் தான்
நாம் தாண்ட வேண்டும்
Running outside my house
I stand looking at the river water
It is only a short distance
That we must cross
துளி ரெண்டு சேர்த்தே
கடல் ஒன்று செய்வோம்
பிரிவென்ற வலியில்
உறவொன்று சேர்வோம்
இருவர் :
புயல் ஓய்ந்த பின் பூ மழை தானே
Combining two drops together
We shall make a single ocean
In the pain of separation
We shall forge a bond
After the storm subsides, it is surely a shower of flowers

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Yedho Yedho' from the silent film 'Gandhi Talks' is a deeply emotional, reflective ballad about love, longing, and emotional restoration. The lyrics articulate the quiet stirrings of a blossoming emotion ('arumbhugindradhe') paired with underlying pain and tears ('visumbhugindradhe'). It portrays two souls yearning for connection despite life's obstacles, comparing their state to a weary bird seeking rest or two distant riverbanks waiting to be bridged by a river.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Monai (Initial Rhyme / Alliteration)
“Pogum vazhi engum / Putham pudhu mutkal”
Repetition of the initial 'P' sound ('Pogum', 'Putham', 'pudhu') creates a rhythmic flow in the verse.
Ethugai (Second Letter Agreement)
“Indha karaiyil naanum / Andha karaiyil neeyum”
The second consonant group 'ndha' matches between 'Indha' and 'Andha', creating harmony in the line structure.
Muran (Antithesis / Contrast)
“Indha karaiyil naanum / Andha karaiyil neeyum”
Contrasts 'this bank' (indha karai) and 'that bank' (andha karai) to poetically represent emotional and physical distance between lovers.
Metaphor (Uruvagaim)
“Thuli rendu saerthae / Kadal ondru seivom”
The lovers are metaphorically described as two small drops coming together to build an entire ocean, symbolizing the strength of their combined unity.
Personification
“Neenda thooram nizhal thedum paravai”
Gives human emotions of longing and weariness to a searching bird to symbolize a restless, seeking soul.

Trivia
'Gandhi Talks' is a silent black comedy film directed by Kishor Pandurang Belekar, starring Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swamy, and Aditi Rao Hydari. Because the movie lacks spoken dialogue, composer A.R. Rahman and lyricist Pa. Vijay use songs like 'Yedho Yedho' as a central narrative vehicle to convey the internal monologues and emotional depth of the characters.
