Blackmail’s Yengae Ponayyo Lyrics Translation
Karthik Netha’s lyrics directly ask who is to blame for the separation. He writes that the world has lost all substance, comparing it to a divine ocean becoming worthless foam. These questions mark a spiral into despair.
Enge Ponayoo NeeWhere did you go?
Enge Ponayoo NeeWhere did you go?
Enge Ponayoo NeeWhere did you go?
Nee Enge PonayooWhere did you go?
Yar Pizhai Idhu UraiTell me, whose fault is this?
Yarai Poi KettpadhooWho am I supposed to go and ask?
Parkkadal Verum NuraiThe celestial ‘Ocean of Milk’ becomes mere foam,
Avadhoo TheervadhooIs this how it ends, is this the resolution?
Theeradhe TheeradheIt never ends, it never ends.
Inneere TheeradheThese tears will never end.
Un Padham KanamaWithout a trace of your steps,
Vin Meenum ThoongadheEven the stars in the sky can’t sleep.
Penne Varayoo NeeOh girl, won’t you come?
Ponne Varayoo NeeOh precious one, won’t you come?
Enge Ponayoo NeeWhere did you go?
Nee Enge PonayooWhere did you go?
Nee Vandhu SerayooWon’t you come back to me?
Annai Ullam Kallai PogaAs a mother’s heart turns to stone,
Uyir Nee PogaBecause you, my life, have gone.
Orr Pirivale AsaivellamWith this one separation, all my desires,
Vishamai PogaHave turned into poison.

Un Sirippale Uyir MoottumThe one that ignited my soul with just a smile,
Mugame EngeWhere is that face now?
