Irave Lyrics Translation Arul Raj | K. S. Harisankar | Ottu
K. S. Harisankar sings a line about a mind’s search in a thousand different dreams. Arul Raj sings the plea, ‘Until I return, don’t wilt like a tender petal.’
Oru Mukham Manam ThiranjithaaMy mind has searched for this one face.
Orayiram KinaakkalilIn a thousand different dreams.
Avalilaayi Svayam AlinjithaaI’ve dissolved myself into her,
Orayiram KanangalilAcross a thousand moments.
Irave Velli Nilavaay Nin ArikilOh night, standing beside you as the silver moonlight,
Innu NjanilleAm I not here today?
Pakale Thulli VeyilaayOh day, becoming a drop of sunlight,
Ennum Uyiril Peythu ThookilleWon’t I always rain down into your soul?
Doorangalil MarayaveAs you fade into the distances,
Mizhikal Nee PeyyarutheYou must not let your eyes rain tears.
Thirike Njaan Cherum VareUntil I return to reach you,
Ithalupol VaadarutheDon’t wilt like a tender petal.
Oru Mukham Manam ThiranjithaaMy mind has searched for this one face.
Orayiram KinaakkalilIn a thousand different dreams.
Avalilaayi Svayam AlinjithaaI’ve dissolved myself into her,
Orayiram KanangalilAcross a thousand moments.
Neeyaaro RaakkanavaanoWho are you? Are you a dream of the night?
En Nenjil Neelum ThaalamoOr a rhythm lingering in my heart?
Njaan Polum ThedatthorenneRevealing a self I never even searched for,
Kannaale Kaanum JaalamoIs this a magic spell seen by my eyes?
Nin Swasamaayi Maarunnu NjaanI’m becoming your very breath,
Maarodu Kalarunna NerangalilIn these moments when I merge with you.
Ee Venkadal ThaandeeduvaanTo cross this ocean of white foam,
Chirakukal Aniyaam NaaleWe’ll wear our wings tomorrow.
Oru Mukham Manam ThiranjithaaMy mind has searched for this one face.
Orayiram KinaakkalilIn a thousand different dreams.
Avalilaayi Svayam AlinjithaaI’ve dissolved myself into her,
Orayiram KanangalilAcross a thousand moments.
Oru Mukham Manam ThiranjithaaMy mind has searched for this one face.
Orayiram KinaakkalilIn a thousand different dreams.
Avalilaayi Svayam AlinjithaaI’ve dissolved myself into her,
Orayiram KanangalilAcross a thousand moments.
