Jenmam Niraindhathu
Vairamuthu | Vijay Yesudas • From “Naatpadu Theral 2”
What is the meaning of Jenmam Niraindhathu Lyrics from Naatpadu Theral 2?
Vairamuthu’s lyrics compare death to an ancient truth, unavoidable as birth. The line ‘Maranathai Pol Oru Pazhaiaydhum Illai’ frames mortality as nature’s oldest constant, while ‘Marathiyai Pol Oru Mamarundhillai’ positions forgetfulness as a balm for grief.
Jenmam Niraindhadhu Sendravar VazhgaA life’s complete; may those who’ve gone live on.
Sindhai Kalangida Vandhavar VazhgaMay those who came to soothe a troubled mind live on.
Neeril Midhandhidum Kangalum KaigaEyes and hands now float upon the water.
Nimmadhi Nimmadhi Ivvidam SoozhgaLet peace, let peace surround this place.
Jananamum Boomiyil Pudhiyadhu IllaiBirth on this Earth isn’t anything new.
Maranathai Pol Oru Pazhaiaydhum IllaiThere’s nothing as ancient as death.
Irandumillavidil Iyarkaiyum IllaiNature wouldn’t exist without both.
Iyarkaiyin Anaithan Gyanathin EllaiNature’s embrace is the edge of all wisdom.
Pasam Ulaviya Kangalum EngeWhere are those eyes that once wandered with love?
Painth Thulaviya Kaigalum EngeWhere are the hands that once reached out and felt?
Dhesam Alaviya Kalgalum EngeWhere are the feet that once crossed the land?
Thee Undathendrathu Sambalum IngeThe fire’s consumed them; only ash remains here.
Kannil Therindhadhu Katrudan PogaLet what was seen in the eyes vanish with the wind.
Mannil Pirandhadhu Mannudal SergaLet what was born of the soil return to the soil.
Elumbhu Sahdai Konda Uruvangal PogaLet the forms made of bone and flesh depart.
Echangalal Andha Innuyir VazhgaMay that sweet life live on through its legacy.
Pirappu Illamale Nal Ondru IllaiThere’s no day without a birth.
Irappu Illamalum Nalondru IllaiThere’s no day without a death.
Nesathinal Varum Ninaivugal ThollaiMemories born of love are a burden.
Marathiyai Pol Oru MamarundhillaiThere’s no great medicine like forgetfulness.
Kadal Thodum Arugal KalanguvathillaiRivers that reach the sea don’t feel troubled.
Tharai Thodum Tharaigal Azhuvadhum IllaiShores that touch the ground don’t weep.
Nadhi Mazhai Pondrathe Vidhiyendru KandumEven when seeing that destiny’s like the rain and river,
Madhi Konda Manudar Mayanguvadhennawhy do wise humans remain so confused?
Maranathinal Sila Kobangal TheerumSome angers will end with death.
Maranathinal Sila Sabangal TheerumSome curses will end with death.
Vedham Solladhadhai Maranangal KoorumDeath tells us what the ‘Vedas’ ‘sacred texts’ don’t.
Vidhai Ondru Veezhndhida Chedivandhu SerumWhen a seed falls, a plant’s bound to arrive.
Boomikku Nan Yathirai VandhomWe came to this Earth on a pilgrimage.
Yathirai Keetroli Munn Nithirai KondomWe slept before the first light of the journey.
Nithirai Povadhu Niyadhi EndralumThough falling asleep is the natural law,
Yathirai Enbadhu Thodarkadhaiyagumthe journey’s a story that never truly ends.
Thendralin Poongaram Thendidum PodhumWhenever the breeze’s floral hand touches us,
Sooriya Keetroli Thondridum Podhumwhenever a ray of sunlight appears,
Mazhalaiyin Then Mozhi Seviyurum Podhumwhenever the honeyed words of an infant are heard,
Mandavar Emmudan Vazhndhida Koodumthe departed might still be living with us.
Mandavar Swasangal Katrudan SergaLet the breath of the departed join the wind.
Thooyavar Kannoli Sooriyin SergaLet the pure one’s vision join the sun.
Boothangal Aindhilum Pon Udal SergaLet the golden body join the ‘five elements’ ‘Pancha Bhootas’.
Ponavar Punniyam Emmudan SergaLet the merit of those who’ve gone stay with us.
Ponavar Punniyam Emmudan SergaLet the merit of those who’ve gone stay with us.
