Ayyaho Saamiye Lyrics Translation (from “James”)
Madhurakavi asks why sacred births receive pain and human lives face death. His lines connect universal wounds to specific grief over Appu Sami’s passing. The lyrics frame existence as divine gifts followed by inexplicable cruelty.
SamiyeOh God.
Manna Manna Intha MannaThis earth, this very earth,
Sami Nee PadachchaYou’re the one who created it, God.
Enga Poyi Nee OlinjaWhere’ve you gone to hide?
SamiyeOh God.
Odambu Paiyila Usira AtachchuYou packed life into this bag of a body,
Inga Anuppi VechchaAnd sent it down here.
Vithi Oosi Kuththi UtachchaFate’s needle pricked and shattered it.
Ayaho SamiyeAlas, oh God.
Sirikka Vechchu Azhuka VechchaYou made us laugh and you made us cry.
Veda ThariyeYou’re the giver of such agony.
Parakkum Bothu Siraka OtachchuYou broke our wings while we were mid-flight.
Peeda ThariyeYou’re the source of this misery.
Ho Ho Punithamana PirappukkuFor a birth that’s so sacred,
Novu Varuvathu YenWhy’s there so much pain?
Manithamana PiravikkuFor a life that’s so human,
Savu Tharuvathu YenWhy do you give us death?
Ranangalaki KitakkuthuIt lies there, covered in wounds,
Rajanila PuviyeThis earth that’s bright like the moon.
Sanangalota ManasulaIn the hearts of the people,
Appu SamiyeLives Appu ‘Puneeth Rajkumar’.
Ullam Yavum VazhuraHe lives within every soul,
Oru Manitha Kula RoobanA true icon for all of humanity.
Illamthorum AruluraHe’s a blessing in every home,
Oru Punitha Jeba DheebanLike a sacred prayer lamp.
Ayaho AyahoAlas, oh alas.
Intha Sami Boomi VittuThis god-like man has left the earth.
Ayaho AyahoAlas, oh alas.
Appu Sami PoyituchchoHas Appu really gone?
Sollu SamiyeTell us, oh God.
Ho Ho Punithamana PirappukkuFor a birth that’s so sacred,
Novu Varuvathu YenWhy’s there so much pain?
Manithamana PiravikkuFor a life that’s so human,
Savu Tharuvathu YenWhy do you give us death?
Ellaya Katha Appu SamiAppu, who guarded our very boundaries,
Kollaium PonatheHas been stolen away from us.
Kallaka Vazhum Vana SamiThe God in the sky, who’s as cold as stone,
Persistent divine interrogation forms the Ayyaho Saamiye lyrics meaning. No resolution comes for the paradox of a creator permitting suffering. The track leaves existential questions hanging over Josh Vivian’s mournful composition.
