Navarasa’s Aval Parandhu Ponaaley Tamil Lyrics English Meaning
Madhan Karky contrasts creative inspiration with loss, describing a partner who ‘became the lesson in my music.’ Karthik sings of performing at London Tower, directly crediting this success to her departure. English phrases mark the singer’s geographical and emotional distance.
Aval Parandhu PonaaleShe flew away from me,
Ennai Marandhu PonaaleShe has forgotten all about me.
Naan Kaigal Neeti Theendidum BodhuJust as I reached out my hands to touch her,
Maraindhu PonaaleShe vanished from my sight.
Endhan Isaikku KatraanalShe was the lesson in my music,
Endhan Mozhikku OotraanalShe was the source of my language.
Ethirkaalam Paarthu Kidandha EnnaiAs I was looking toward the future,
Kadandha NetraanalShe became my bygone yesterday.
She And I TogetherShe and I together,
Thought It Was ForeverThought it was forever.
How The Sparks FlewHow the sparks flew,

Even If We Are OverEven if we are over,
She Gave Me The PowerShe gave me the power,
To Find My Own GrooveTo find my own groove.
She And I TogetherShe and I together,
Thought It Was ForeverThought it was forever.
How The Sparks FlewHow the sparks flew,
They FlewThey flew.
No Longer My LoverNo longer my lover,
Sang At London TowerSang at London Tower,
Owe That To YouI owe that to you,
To YouTo you.
Aval Parandhu PonaaleShe flew away from me,
Ennai Marandhu PonaaleShe has forgotten all about me.
Naan Kaigal Neeti Theendidum BodhuJust as I reached out my hands to touch her,
Maraindhu PonaaleShe vanished from my sight.
Andru En Vaazhvin YedanaalBack then, she was a page in my life,
Indru Avvettil KodanaalBut today, she’s just a line on that page.
Aval Pona Pinnum Naalum NaalumEven after she’s gone, day after day,
Naan Seiyum PaattanalShe lives on in the songs I create.
Aval Parandhu Ponaaley lyrics translation reveals progress through absence. Karthik and Madhan Karky frame separation as both artistic catalyst and personal wound. The Navarasa track documents how memories persist through creative work.
