Siragugal Vanthathu

Siragugal vanthathu yengo sella
I sprouted wings and they carried me off somewhere
Iravugal theerthathu kannil mella
The darkness in my eyes slowly disappeared
Ninaivugal yenguthu unnai kaanave
memories yearn for you when you're missing

Kanavugal ponguthu yethele alla
My dreams spill out of me
Valigalum serdhathu ulle kella
And rejoin again in my path
Sugangalum kooduthu unnai theydiyeeeee
It's such a pleasure to search for you

Unnai unnai thaandi sella
As I move on past you
Konja kaalam konja thooram konja neram kooda yennal aagumoo
a few days, a little distance, a little time , what happens to them?
Unnai unnai thedi thaane
as i searched for you
Intha yaekam intha paathai intha payanam intha vazhkai aanathoo
this yearning, this path, this journey, this life was given a purpose


Kanavugal ponguthu yethele alla
Valigalum serdhathu ulle kella
Sugangalum kooduthu unnai theydiyeeeee


Nadhiye ne yengae endru karaikal thedak koodaathaa
o river, shouldn't the foam search for where you are?
Nilave ne yengae endru mugilhal thedak koodaathaa
o moon, shouldn't i search for where you will rise today?

Mazhlai iravinil kuyilin geetham thodipathaai yaar arivaar
in the darkness of rain, when the cuckoo's song stops, who will  know?
Kadal nodiyyin kidakkum palarain kanavugal yaar arrivar
the dreams found in the corners of the ocean, who will find them?

Alzahe nee yengi irukkiraai vazhithaal anbe nee angi irukiraaai
o my beauty, where are you? You're where it hurts 
Uyire nee yenna sei kiraai uyirin ulle vanthu selkiraai
o my life, what are you doing? you have come inside my soul

Anbe yenthan nenjam yenge poovin ulle nilavin meyle
love, where is my heart, in a flower, on the moon
Theeyin kile kariku veliye illayeee....
under the fire, outside of the _____ , its not there

Unnthan kannil unnthan moochil unnthan iravil unnthan nenjil
inside your eyes, in your breath, in your eyelashes, in your heart
Unnthan kaiyil unnthan uyiril ulla vazhiyeee...
in your hands, in your soul, its there [your heart]

Yenake nan sumaiyaai maari yennai sumanthu vantheyne
for me i turned into a _carrier [?] , i carried [?] myself and came
Unnakke nan nillalai maaari unnai theydi vantheyne
for you, i turned into a shadow and came in search of you

Vizhi ninaikira neram paarthu immai vilahi vidaathu
at the time when i'm thinking of your face, my eyelids won't stop blinking 
Uyir thudithidum munnney yenthen uyir othukki vidaathu
my life wont' let me save the soul struggling before me

Ulaham oru pulli yaahuthey
the whole world becomes a dot
Nenjam yengo mithanthu poguthey
and my heart starts floating away 
Uyiril oru poo vedikkuthey
a flower explodes inside my soul
Suhamo vazhiyo ellai meeruthey
all my joys and pains are vaporized

Siragugal vanthathu yengo sella
Iravugal theerthathu kannil mella
Ninaivugal yenguthu unnai kaanave


Oru immai yengilum thenil moolga
I yearned for one sweetness submerged in honey
Maru immai maathiram vazhiyil noga
the rest of the sweetness is submerged in pain
Yidayinil yeppadi kanavum kaanumoooo
How will I dream dreams in the daylight?

Unnai unnai thaandi sella
Konja kaalam konja thooram konja neram kooda yennal aagumoo
Unnai unnai thedi thaane
Intha yaekam intha paathai intha payanam intha vazhkai aanathoo

  1. Shall I translate this song and send you? Sorry but the translation is nowhere near the beauty of the language here.
