What is the meaning of Aaraanu Lyrics from Tsunami?
Lal asks ‘Who is this, who came searching for me?’ He describes love as an indelible drawing etched onto the heart with a sharp needle. The protagonist wonders if they’ve been waiting for this person all their life.
Aaraanitharaan Ithenne Thiranju VannuWho is this, who’s come looking for me?
Ithaaraan Ithaaraan Urakkathe Koottu VannuWho’s this, who’s come to stay by my side in this sleeplessness?
Hey Aararinju Raavitherey AayathumHey, who’d have known the night would stretch this long?
Raathri Mullakal VirinjhathumOr that the night jasmine would bloom so full?
Njhaan Arinjhathilla Entey UllilaayI didn’t even realize that deep inside of me,
Chitharum Aayiram NilaathiriA thousand wicks of moonlight are scattering.
Kaathu Kaathu KaathirunnoHave I been waiting and waiting all this while?
Innolam NinneyaanoIs it you I’ve been waiting for all my life?
Orthu Cherthu VachirunnuI’ve held onto these memories and kept them close,
Kinnakalellam NiranghalaayoHave all my dreams blossomed into colors?
Nertha Koortha SoojikondenteWith a needle so fine and sharp,
Changhinullil Varachu VachuIt’s been etched deep within my soul.
Chernna KaalamorthirikkanJust to remember the time we spent together,
Enikku Mathram Enikku MathramFor me alone, only for me.
Aadyamaayi Swarangalayi Vannu NeeYou first arrived as soft melodies,
Kaathilinnaa KaaryamodhiyoDid you whisper that secret in my ear today?
Aardramaay ManasucholliMy heart spoke with such tenderness,
Nee Althara Munnilente ChaarayilWhen you stood beside me at the ‘althara’ (altar).
Praavukal Kushumbinaal KurukiyoDid the pigeons coo with a touch of envy?
Kurumbinaalo Koottukaari ThazhukiyoOr did my friend brush against me in a playful way?
Veruthe NaanamaayathaanoOr did I just blush for no reason at all?
Oh Kaathu Kaathu KaathirunnoOh, have I been waiting and longing all this time?
Innolam NinneyaanoWas it truly you I’ve been seeking until today?
Orthu Cherthu VachirunnuI’ve gathered these thoughts and kept them safe,
Kinnakalellam NiranghalaayoHave my dreams finally filled with vibrant hues?
Nertha Koortha SoojikondenteWith a needle so delicate and pointed,
Changhinullil Varachu VachuI’ve carved this moment deep inside my heart.
Chernna KaalamorthirikkanTo cherish the time we were united,
Enikku Mathram Enikku MathramJust for me, and only for me.
