Irumanam Kalanthal Thirumanam’s Idhu Niyaayamaa Pathos Lyrics Translation
The verses compare a pining heart to a flowering vine withering without rain. This feeling then shifts from passive decay to active destruction. Separation becomes a cyclone that ravages a grove, illustrating a more violent loneliness.
Idhu Niyayama Idhu NiyayamaIs this justice? Is this justice?
Idhu Niyayama Idhu NiyayamaIs this justice? Is this justice?
Enai Maranthu PogalamaHow can you just forget me?
Sariyaguma MuraiyagumaIs it right? Is it proper?
Enai Varuntha SeiyalagumaHow can you make me suffer like this?
Van Mazhai NeengiyaWithout the rains from the sky,
Poongodi Poljust like a tender vine,
Maname Yengi Vaduthemy heart longs for you and fades.
Van Mazhai NeengiyaWhen the heavenly rain is gone,
Poongodi Pollike a flowering plant,
Maname Yengi Vaduthemy spirit just pines and wilts.
Then Mozhi PesidumThe one who spoke such honeyed words,
Anbu Parvaiyathuthat loving gaze of yours,
Enge Endre Theduthemy heart is searching, asking where it’s gone.
Ennam Unnai NadutheMy every thought now follows you.
Idhu Niyayama Idhu NiyayamaIs this justice? Is this justice?
Enai Maranthu PogalamaHow can you just forget me?
Sariyaguma MuraiyagumaIs it right? Is it proper?
Enai Varuntha SeiyalagumaHow can you make me suffer like this?
Solaiyai SoozhnthidumSurrounding a beautiful grove
Sooraiyai Pollike a devastating storm,
Pirivum Ennai Vattuthethis separation scourges me.
Un Pol Sundhara Roopam En Kannil ThondriYour lovely form appears before my eyes,
Ennai Parai Endre Azhaikkuthecalling out and telling me to look.
Pasam Ennai IzhukkutheThis deep affection pulls me in,
Neram Inge Izhukkuthewhile time itself just drags on here.
Idhu Niyayama Idhu NiyayamaIs this justice? Is this justice?
Enai Maranthu PogalamaHow can you just forget me?
Inimaiyum Thanimaiyil KidaikkumaCan any sweetness be found in solitude?
Inbam NerumaWill happiness ever come?
Idhu Niyayama Idhu NiyayamaIs this justice? Is this justice?
Enai Maranthu PogalamaHow can you just forget me?

The track builds through the repetition of its central question. This refrain ties the escalating natural images together. The structure moves from a lament about absence to a direct argument against abandonment’s cruelty.
