Mohan Rajan contrasts an eternal dawn with sleepless nights. His lyrics compare devotion to clouds inseparable from the sky. Rajan’s phrases describe lingering agony balanced by divine play.
Avizhadha KalaiAn un-dawning morning.
Pirazhadha ParvaiAn unwavering gaze.
Amizhadha Asai ThanthayeYou’ve given me an un-sinking desire.
Thuyiladha VelaiA sleepless hour.
Tholaiyadha LeelaiAn eternal ‘leelai’ (divine play).
Theliyadha Vadhai KondeneI’ve endured a lingering agony.
Masuzhal ManadhileIn my clouded mind,
Un Ninaivinilwithin your memories,
Dhinam Dhinamday after day,
Uzhandridum Neramas I’m struggling.
Thee Thiral UyirileIn my soul’s intense fire,
Nee Tholaivinil Enai Vittuwhen you’re far away from me,
Vilagidum Neramat the time you drift apart.
Vanam Thandi Pogum MegamA cloud that passes beyond the sky,
Indha Bhoomi Kandathum Illaithis Earth hasn’t ever seen.
Unnai Thandi Pogum EnnamA thought that moves beyond you,
Endhan Manadhu Kondathum Illaimy heart hasn’t ever felt.
Avizhadha KalaiAn un-dawning morning.
