Chandirane Suriyane Lyrics Translation (from “Amaran”)
Vairamuthu writes about love and resilience through vivid imagery like ‘a burnt scar that won’t heal.’ The wordsmith also draws parallels to the Mahabharata and Bhagavad Gita, suggesting life’s challenges must be faced head-on. He ends with hope, saying, ‘I’ll write a new story.’
Kizhakku VeluthadhadaThe east has brightened.
Manasum Ange Sivanthadha DaAnd there, my heart has grown passionate.
Sutta Vadu AralaThe burnt scar won’t heal.
Nenjil Patta Pinbu MaralaOnce it’s felt in the heart, it doesn’t fade away.
Sutta Vadu AralaThe burnt scar won’t heal.
Patta Pinbu MaralaOnce it’s felt, it doesn’t fade away.
Chandirane SuriyaneOh, Moon and Sun,
Natchathira NayaganeLord of the stars.
Chandirane SuriyaneOh, Moon and Sun,

Nenjile Neruppa VechaIf you’ve placed fire in my heart,
Neerum Anaika MudiyumaCan water extinguish it?
Kannile Mullu ThaichaIf a thorn pierces the eye,
Imayam Mooda MudiyumaCan you close your eyelid?
Bharatha KadhayunkoodaEven the story of the ‘Mahabharata’,
Pazhiyil Mudinja Kaviyam ThanIs a poem that ended in revenge.
Irupathum IrapathumTo live and to die,
Antha Iyarkayoda KayilaAre in nature’s hands.

Mannil Kalai Edutha ThavarilaIt’s not wrong to remove weeds from the soil.
