Classil Kerathe Lyrics Translation – Soothravakyam Soundtrack
Manu Manjith asks why kids skip class and why police give up. He describes them learning from streets instead of schoolrooms. The lyrics tell of a new generation forging its own path.
Kannakum NaadaneOh, this land that we see,
Palathaaramithu NaattarumAnd its people of every kind.
Innadin MuttathuIn the courtyard of this new day,
Oru GurukulamunarunneA new school of thought is waking up.
Pathinaarin Parana PillerThese sixteen-year-old kids,
Pathivaayi Kerana ChillelOn the branches they always climb,
Arivuruvidum AaranuWho is it that’s shaping their minds?
Neravazhi KaattanathaaranuWho’s the one showing them the right path?
Kannakum NaadaneOh, this land that we see,
Palathaaramithu NaattarumAnd its people of every kind.
Innadin MuttathuIn the courtyard of this new day,
Oru GurukulamunarunneA new school of thought is waking up.
Pathinaarin Parana PillerThese sixteen-year-old kids,
Pathivaayi Kerana ChillelOn the branches they always climb,
Arivuruvidum AaranuWho is it that’s shaping their minds?
Neravazhi KaattanathaaranuWho’s the one showing them the right path?
Aa Classil KeratheInstead of going to that class,
Pillerenthana ThengaaneWhy are the kids just hanging around?
Aa Kaakkipolisum Muttu MadakkanathenthaaneAnd why are the police just giving up?
Aa Classil KeratheInstead of going to that class,
Pillerenthana ThengaaneWhy are the kids just hanging around?
Aa Kaakkipolisum Muttu MadakkanathenthaaneAnd why are the police just giving up?
Kalichiyoru ThudarkkathaThe game’s a story that never ends,
Padanavumathil KalrnnithaAnd learning has become a part of it.
Padipadavukal Kayarana KandoLook, they’re climbing the steps,
Vazhikal Thirayana PuthumurathaaneA new generation searching for its own way.
Kaduganithami Saynum KosumThis tough math with its ‘sine’ and ‘cosine’,
Athilalithamayi Ithaa SathaIs made so simple and true right here.
Ladu Nunayana Mathurami TheettaThis lesson is as sweet as savoring a ‘ladu’,
Pakarana Janm KoodeA destiny that’s meant to be shared.
Niyamaniravil Kaaval VarumiiThe blessing of a teacher from the fighting crew,
Poruthana Padayude Guru VaramWho stands guard where the real rules are written.
Palakuriyavar Panay PaadamThey’ve learned their lessons many times over,
Thalakalil Nirayana NimishamitholamIn these moments that fill up their minds.
Rasafaathika Jeeval ShasthramChemistry and the science of life,
Purake Palamozhi Rasa ThodamFollowed by the wisdom of old sayings.
Kalariyivide ThudaranuThe training ground is right here,
Pularaanu PuthuvithyaAnd a new kind of knowledge is dawning.
Classil Kerathe PillerethanathengaaneWhy are the kids just hanging around instead of going to class?
Aa Kaakkipolisum Muttu MadakkanathenthaaneAnd why are the police just giving up?
Aa Classil KeratheInstead of going to that class,
Pillerenthana ThengaaneWhy are the kids just hanging around?
Aa Kaakkipolisum Muttu MadakkanathenthaaneAnd why are the police just giving up?
