Arum Kaanathe Lyrics Translation – Zha Soundtrack
The lyrics poet notes how dreams burn like aching wounds, melting away unseen. ‘My soul melts away, unseen by anyone,’ she sings, describing a heart burdened by sorrow. The imagery of a flower shedding its petals adds to the song’s emotional depth.
Aarum KaanathurukunnennullamMy soul melts away, unseen by anyone.
Neerum Novaay KanavukaleriyunnooMy dreams burn like a stinging pain.
Aarum KaanathurukunnennullamWithin me, my heart’s melting without a witness.
Neerum Novaay KanavukaleriyunnooThese dreams are burning as an aching wound.
Ithaluthirum Poovin NombaramariyaatheWithout feeling the grief of a flower shedding its petals,
Pularoliyil ChaayumLeaning into the first light of dawn,
Arunamanikalozhuki NirayaveAs the crimson droplets flow and fill the air.
Nilayozhukum VimookatheeramUpon the silent shore where the river flows,
Ninavukalil Vithumbi MelleSoftly sobbing within my memories,
Niramizhikal Thalodi VingiAs my tear-filled eyes caress and swell,
Vida Parayaan MarannathennalSince the day I forgot to say goodbye.
Niramolum PookkaalamillatheyaayiThe vibrant spring has ceased to exist,
Kulirekaan HemanthamillaThere’s no winter left to offer a chill.
Eniyilla Nee VarumYou won’t be coming back anymore,
Madhupakarumoraanupama YaamamThat peerless hour which once poured nectar.
Akalukayaay Nilaavu NeyyumThe moonlit weaver’s now drifting away,
Mathiyazhakil Virinja ThaaramThe star that blossomed in the moon’s grace.
Pakaloliyil PolinjuthirnnuIt withered and fell in the light of day,
Thirimuriyaathoren KinaakkalMy dreams that once flowed unbroken.
Karimekhakkaiyaal PidanjuveenuFell struggling from the dark cloud’s grasp,
Mazhavillinnezhum NirangalThe seven colors of the rainbow.
Eniyekaakiyaay Njaan Irulilaliyumoru PaduthiriyaayI’m now alone, like a flickering lamp dissolving in the dark.
Aarum KaanathurukunnennullamMy soul’s melting away, unseen by anyone.
Neerum Novaay KanavukaleriyunnooDreams are burning as a stinging sorrow.
Aarum KaanathurukunnennullamDeep inside, my heart’s melting without a witness.
Neerum Novaay KanavukaleriyunnooThe dreams I hold are burning as an aching wound.
Ithaluthirum Poovin NombaramariyaatheWithout feeling the grief of a flower shedding its petals,
Pularoliyil ChaayumLeaning into the first light of dawn,
Arunamanikalozhuki NirayaveAs the crimson droplets flow and fill the air.
