Kaatrin Mozhi

Kaatrin Mozhi Oliyaa Isaiyaa
is the language of the wind sound or music?
Poovin Mozhi Niramaa Manamaa
is the language of the flowers colors or fragrance?
Kadalin Mozhi Alaiyaa Nuraiyaa
is the language of the ocean waves or foam?
Kaadhal Mozhi Vizhiyaa Idhazhaa
is the language of love the eyes or the lips?

Iyarkaiyin Mozhigal Purinthuvidil
if we understand the language of nature
Manitharin Mozhigal Thevai illai
we don't need the languages of man
Idhayathin Mozhigal Purinthuvidil
if we understand the language of the heart
Manitharku Mozhiye Thevai illai....
men don't need language

Kaatrin Mozhi Oliyaa Isaiyaaa
Poovin Mozhi Niramaa Manamaa

Kaatru Veesum bothu Thisaigal Kidayaathu
when the wind blows, there's no direction
Kaadhal Pesum bothu Mozhigal Kidaiyaathu
when love talks, there's no language
Pesum Vaarthai Pola Mounam Puriyaathu
like you can understand spoken words, you can't understand silence
Kangal Pesum Vaarthai Kadavul Ariyaathu
the words that the eyes speak, god doesn't know
Ulavi Thiriyum Kaatruku Uruvam Theeta Mudiyaathu
The wandering wind that defies direction, cannot be given a form
Kadhal Pesum Mozhiyellam Sathakootil Adangaathu
all the languages that speak love, cannot be constricted to the world of sound

Iyarkaiyin Mozhigal Purinthuvidil
Manitharin Mozhigal Thevai illai
Idhayathin Mozhigal Purinthuvidil
Manitharku Mozhiye Thevai illai....

Kaatrin Mozhi.....

Vaanam Pesum Pechu Thuliyaai Veliyaagum
the speech spoken by the sky will be shown through rain drops
Vaanavillin Pechu Niramaai Veliyaagum
The speech of the rainbow will be shown through colors
Unnmai Oomai Aanal Kaneer Mozhi Aagam
If the truth is silenced, tears become a language
Pennmai Oomai Aanal Naanam Mozhi Aagum
If femininity is silenced, her shyness will become a language
Osai Thoongum Jaamathil Ucchi Meengal Mozhiyaagum
When all sounds are asleep, little stars become the language
Aasai Thoongum Idhayathil Asaivu Kooda Mozhiyaagum
In the heart where desires lie, restlessness too becomes a language

Iyarkaiyin Mozhigal Purinthuvidil
Manitharin Mozhigal Thevai illai
Idhayathin Mozhigal Purinthuvidil
Manitharku Mozhiye Thevai illai....

  2. Osai thoongum jaamathil, uchi meengal mozhi aagum - in this context 'meengal' doesn't mean 'fish', it means ' stars'. Pls correct as it changes that whole sentence!
