Innum Paarthu Lyrics Translation – Vallavan Oruvan Soundtrack
P. Susheela questions passive longing: ‘Was I born a woman just for this gaze?’ T. M. Soundarajan responds with metaphors about unlocking hearts and natural attractions, comparing love to birdsong in nests.
Innum Parthu Kondirundhal EnnavadhuIf we keep on just looking, what will happen?
Indha Parvaikku Thana PennanadhuWas I born a woman just for this gaze?
Nan Kettadhai Tharuvai IndravadhuYou’ll give me what I’ve asked for today.
Innum Kettu Kondirundhal EnnavadhuIf I keep on just listening, what will happen?
Indha Kelvikku Thana PennanadhuWas I born a woman just for your questions?
Nenja Kottai Thirappai IndravadhuWon’t you open your heart’s fortress today?
Innum Parthu Kondirundhal EnnavadhuIf we keep on just looking, what will happen?
Malaikku Malai Kadhalar PesumEvery evening, lovers speak.
Varthigal Pesida VendumThe words they must speak.
Pesidum Bothe KaigalinaleWhile speaking, they should also use their hands.
Veddikkai Seiyavum VendumThey should make playful gestures too.
Adhil Adi Varum Inbam Odi VarumThe pleasure we crave will come running then.
Innum Parthu Kondirundhal EnnavadhuIf we keep on just looking, what will happen?
Indha Parvaikku Thana PennanadhuWas I born a woman just for this gaze?
Nan Kettadhai Tharuvai IndravadhuYou’ll give me what I’ve asked for today.
Innum Parthu Kondirundhal EnnavadhuIf we keep on just looking, what will happen?
Kattu Purakkal Koottukkal PadumWild pigeons sing in their nests.
Pattukku Yar Thunai VendumWho needs help for their songs?
Thottathu Poovai Marbukku MeleTo place a picked flower over your heart,
Soodida Yar Solla VendumWho needs to be told that?
Ingu Yarum Illai Ini Yarum IllaiThere’s no one here now, no one anymore.
Innum Kettu Kondirundhal EnnavadhuIf I keep on just listening, what will happen?
Indha Kelvikku Thana PennanadhuWas I born a woman just for your questions?
Nenja Kottai Thirappai IndravadhuWon’t you open your heart’s fortress today?
Innum Kettu Kondirundhal EnnavadhuIf I keep on just listening, what will happen?
Shenbaga Poovil Vandu VilundhuJust like a bee falls into a Shenbaga flower
Then Kudithadudhal PoleAnd plays while drinking its honey,
Serppadhai Serthu Parppadhai ParthuWe’ll unite what needs uniting, and see what needs seeing.
Vazhnthida ThudipadhanaleBecause we’re yearning to live,
Ini Pirivadhillai Unnai ViduvadhillaiNow we won’t separate, I won’t ever leave you.
Innum Parthu Kondirundhal EnnavadhuIf we keep on just looking, what will happen?
Innum Kettu Kondirundhal EnnavadhuIf I keep on just listening, what will happen?
