Rhyme, reason – lost in translation

போகும் வழி நூறானதே, கண்ணீரினால் சேறானதே
இல்லாத உறவுக்கு நான் செய்யும் அபிஷேகம்

path lost in the maze, I cry. Tears
make mires of tracks. Here
I offer them in worship of us who never were.

Oh! Dint know there was a sorrow-y version…
Surprisingly, these lyrics are more touching than the famous duet.

Difficult one and an interesting attempt.

A side attempt on your attempt.

The path forks a ton; My tears,
form a mire; Here
I offer them for us, a relation never.
