Kaadum Kathanu Lyrics Translation (from “Oru Ronaldo Chithram”)
Joe Paul’s words describe a soul burning in the wilderness, asking, ‘Whose could it be?’ The poet mentions traps and hidden arrows, using the Yazh’s strings as a metaphor for betrayal. The vocalists capture the struggle of a character weighed down by a terrible burden, one they must carry alone.
Kaadum Kadannu Kathanam KaanamattiluCrossing through the wilderness, the story unfolds unseen.
Aavi Pollalu Athumaav EthanuA soul is burning, but whose could it be?
Theera PraakkiluCaught in an endless curse.
Thaalam Thettalil Thaane PettathaanOne missed beat, and I was caught in a trap.
Oorakettilu Praanan KitinelMy life force is snared in a tightening knot.
Vene Itharaam Otta PaachiluIt’ll take a single, desperate dash from here.
Variyo Nakathal Murivo Thodum MunpeBefore a nail can even scratch, before a wound is even felt,
Thirike Kurukaanaayi Valayo Virikkunnu Vazhiyila trap is laid on the path for my return.
Kaadum Kadannu Kathana KaanamattiluCrossing through the wilderness, the story unfolds unseen.
Aavi Pollalu Athumaav EthanuA soul is burning, but whose could it be?
Theera PraakkiluCaught in an endless curse.
Veruthe Adi Veril BoothameOh demon, lurking needlessly at the root of it all,
Priya Vendaa DheenameI don’t want this beloved malady.
Oliyambaal Neeyo Veenidum ChathiYou’ll fall to a hidden arrow, a betrayal,
Yaaazha Thattil Kondidumplayed out on the strings of a ‘Yazh’.
Shkkalam GanithamIt’s all just a bit of calculation.
Kadikaara Choodil NinnavalShe who stood against the heat of the clock,
Maru Thanthram Inneriyumeknows a counter-move to play today.
Nin Mathramo ThakarumeAnd it’s only your strategy that’s destined to fail.
Thone Kadum Vela TheeraThere’s so much intense, endless struggle,
Kodum Peedayaa Baaram PadachonaOh Creator, this pain is a terrible burden.
Thozhike Aarariyaan KolamWho else can know its form but the shoulder that carries it?
Kadam VaaganamIt’s a debt I have to carry,
Vegham Aninjadanam Neram PodikillaI’ve got to wear this mask, there’s no time to spare.
KaiayaanIt’s all in my hands now.
Ithu Verumoru ChoothattamoIs this just a game of dice?
Bhayamaadi PotathamoOr is it a bluff, playing on my fear?
Vidhiyezhuthuvatha RaanadimaWho is it that writes the fate of this slave?
Raajav AaravoAnd who is the king in this game?
Tharikida KaliA game of pure deception.
Pandullathellame Kai Vittu Poyoru PokkeThe way everything from the past just slipped through my hands,
Vallatha Haalanu Chunkaayi Irunnonteit’s a terrible state for the one who used to be the kingpin.
Ummakki Veeshunna VaakkeHis words are now just a hollow blow to the cheek.
Kollunna Vaalanu OrkapurathuAn unexpected word can be a killing sword.
Shaapamaayi Maarum Shythaan VarukilumIt becomes a curse, even if the devil himself arrives.
Kan Tholkkan Orukki NirthidumHe’ll set you up, just waiting for you to lose focus,
Paade Verkkum Vazhiyilumleaving you sweating on what should be an easy path.
Mukha Mukham Varatheyo PinnilWhy come face-to-face when you can scheme from behind?
UpaayameridaamIt’s the perfect way to lay a trap.
Katha Gathi Ore Dhinam ThanneThe story’s entire course, in just a single day,
Maamoduvilaayihas been turned completely on its head.
The meaning behind ‘Kaadum Kathanu’ is a tale of deception and destiny. Tribemama Marykali, Anila Rajeev, and Rag Sagar deliver a performance that is both intense and unforgettable.
