Thug Life Movie’s Anju Vanna Poove Lyrics (with English Translation)

Anju Vanna Poove Thalelo Lale,
My five-hued blossom, I sing this lullaby for you.
Natchaththira Poove,
My star-like flower,
Kaatha Vaaren Kaappa Vaaren En Kaatha,
I breathe for you. I will come to protect you forever. I will always be by your side.

Vazhi Vazhi Ellam, Vedi Nedi Vedi Nedi,
On your path, You will find scattered stones and thorns.
Padu Kuzhi Padu Kuzhi, Thottam Enge Poovum Enge Vaasam Enge,
Deep pitfalls are everywhere; where has the garden gone, where is the flower, and where is its sweet scent?

Anju Vanna Poove Kaanum Unna,
O my myriad-coloured flower, I can’t find you anywhere.
Pinji Viral Enge, Konjum Kural Enge, Anjukame Kanne,
Where are your delicate fingers? Where is your gentle voice, my beloved, my darling?

O Vidaama Odi Padaama Aadi,
Oh, you used to run without ever stopping and dance without ever stumbling.
Nilava Meeri Vinaava Soodi,
You outshone the moon itself, and you wore your curiosity like a crown.
Paraari Pole Pittheari Vaadi,
You roamed like a carefree spirit with an almost frenzied energy, my dear.
Kulaavi Koodi Thulaavi Thedi, Aana Nee Paartha,
I mingled, I joined with others, I searched thoroughly, but it was you I hoped to see.

Anju Vanna Poove, Anju Vanna Poove,
Our five-hued blossom, our five-hued blossom.
Ul Irundhu Pesum, Otha Kural Podhum,
Just that one voice, speaking from deep inside, is all we need.
O Ul Irundhu Pesum, Otha Kural Podhum,
Oh, just that one voice, speaking from deep inside, is all we need.

Anju Vanna Poove, Anju Vanna Poove,
My five-hued blossom, my five-hued blossom.
Ul Irundhu Pesum, Otha Kural Podhum,
Just that one voice, speaking from deep inside, is all I need.
Anju Vanna Poove, Kaanalayae Unna, Kaanalayae Unna, Kaanalayae Unna,
My five-hued blossom, I still cannot find you; I cannot find you.

Nandhavanamo Or Malaro,
There are no gardens, no flowers.
Thaaymaiyin Kuralo Per Arulo, Ulagathil Illa,
No mother’s lullaby. No blessings in a forlorn world.

Vatta Vatta Paatha, Suththuthe En Kaala,
These twisted paths circle my feet.
Enge Ini Pova, Enge Ini Pova,
Circles you cannot escape.

Anju Vanna Poove, Va Konji Vilayaadu,
My five-hued blossom, please come and play lovingly with me.
Pinji Viral Theenda, Naan Kaathu Irupen Paaru,
Look, I will keep waiting for your delicate fingers to touch me.

Anju Vanna Poove, Anju Vanna Poove,
Our five-hued blossom, our five-hued blossom.
Ul Irundhu Pesum, Otha Kural Podhum,
Just that one voice, speaking from deep inside, is all we need.
O Ul Irundhu Pesum, Otha Kural Podhum,
Oh, just that one voice, speaking from deep inside, is all we need.

Anju Vanna Poove Thalelo Lale,
My five-hued blossom, I sing this lullaby for you.
