Minmini’s Iru Perum Nadhigal Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Halitha Shameem pairs a caged bird’s freedom with sky imagery. The singers address shared journeys directly: ‘I wished to return you to yourself’ frames love as active restoration.
Kaathirundha Oru ParavaikingaeFor a bird that’s been waiting,
Thaazhthirandha Vaanamthe sky has unlocked itself.
Nedunaal Thuvandu Irukkum ManadhaiFor the heart that’s been weary for many days,
Seri Seidhen En Dhisai PoovaeI’ve mended it, my flower of direction.
Iru Perum Iru Perum NadhigalTwo great rivers, two great rivers,
Inaithidum Ini Oru Jadhiyilwill join together in a new ‘rhythm’.
Iru Perum Iru Perum NadhigalTwo great rivers, two great rivers,
Inaidhae Sellumwill flow along as one.
