Billion Kudhiraigal Lyrics Translation G. V. Prakash | Gnanakaravel | Mathimaran
Gnanakaravel contrasts a small existence with expanded horizons after love strikes. One line notes mountain peaks now feel accessible where footsteps once defined boundaries. Another compares the heart drying in absence to waterfalls flowing near the beloved.
Midhakkiren ParakkirenI’m floating, I’m flying.
Paalveliyil KalakkirenI’m merging into the Milky Way.
Uyir Billion KudhiraigalWith the spirit of a billion horses,
Odum Vegathil PaaigirathaeI’m rushing forward at full speed.
Udal Koondukkul Urangiya SingamThe lion that slept within the cage of my body,
Symphony IsaikkudhaeIs now conducting a symphony.
Avalai Paarthidum MunbuBefore I laid eyes on her,
En Ulagm Sila AdiyilMy world was only a few feet wide.
Aval Ennai Paartha Pinbe YenoAfter she looked at me, for some reason,
Malai Sigaram Kaal AdiyilThe mountain peaks are beneath my feet.
Naan Midhakkiren ParakkirenI’m floating, I’m flying.
Paalveliyil KalakkirenI’m merging into the Milky Way.
Uyir Billion KudhiraigalWith the spirit of a billion horses,
Odum Vegathil PaaigirathaeI’m rushing forward at full speed.
Udal Koondukkul Urangiya SingamThe lion that slept within the cage of my body,
Symphony IsaikkudhaeIs now conducting a symphony.
Nee Thaaragai Naan Min MiniYou’re a star and I’m a firefly,
Un Kaigalai Korkka MudiyumaCan I ever reach out and hold your hands?
Nee Vinveli Naan Pul VeliYou’re the vast cosmos and I’m a field of grass,
En Kanavugal Unnai SerumaWill my dreams ever find their way to you?
Yeno YenoWhy, oh why,
Indha Nenjam NenjamDoes this heart of mine,
Aasai SollaHesitate to speak its desire,
Lesaai Anjum KenjumFearfully pleading and begging?
Uyirae Urugum Osai KetkudhaCan you hear the sound of my soul melting?
Midhakkiren ParakkirenI’m floating, I’m flying.
Paalveliyil KalakkirenI’m merging into the Milky Way.
Midhakkiren ParakkirenI’m floating, I’m flying.
Paalveliyil KalakkirenI’m merging into the Milky Way.
Uyir Billion KudhiraigalWith the spirit of a billion horses,
Odum Vegathil PaaigirathaeI’m rushing forward at full speed.
Udal Koondukkul Urangiya SingamThe lion that slept within the cage of my body,
Symphony IsaikkudhaeIs now conducting a symphony.
En Vaanilae Pudhu VaanavilThere’s a new rainbow in my sky,
Adhan VannamaaiAnd as its color,
Unnai SerkkirenI’m adding you to it.
Un Punnagai Oru Per OliYour smile is a magnificent light,
Adhai Deepamaai Kannil YettrinenI’ve lit it like a lamp within my eyes.
Veyilil Vadagam Pola Idhayam KaayumMy heart dries up like a ‘vadagam’ ‘sun-dried crisp’ in the heat,
Arugil Unnai KandaalBut when I see you near me,
Aruvi PaayumA waterfall begins to flow.
Uyirae Urugum Osai KetkudhaCan you hear the sound of my soul melting?
Midhakkiren ParakkirenI’m floating, I’m flying.
Paalveliyil KalakkirenI’m merging into the Milky Way.
