Kaarmekham Moodunnu Lyrics Meaning Ranjin Raj | Santhosh | Kaaval
Harinarayanan writes that a candle flame snuffs out like wind, showing memories fade to darkness. He says the beloved left without a word, leaving only two sobs behind.
Kaarmekham MoodunnuDark clouds are gathering.
Kanneeraay PeyyunnuThey’re pouring down as tears.
Idari VeezhumeeStumbling and falling,
Kinavu Koottilaayin this nest of dreams.
Izha Murinja NeeYou’ve become a snapped thread,
Iru Thengal Baakkiyaayleaving only two sobs behind.
Oru Kaattinaal ThiriyoothaveAs a breeze blows out the flame,
Mezhuvormakal Irulaakavewaxy memories turn to darkness.
Parayaathe Poyi NeeYou’ve gone without a word.
Orkkave Varumoru MaathrayilIn a moment when memories rush back,
Arumayodannu Ninteof those times with your tender love,
Paithalaayirunna Naalukalthe days when I was just a child.
Praanane Thodumoru ThaalamaayLike a rhythm that touches the soul,
Karuthalin AazhamaayarinjaI knew the depth of your care;
Naalamengananju Poywhere did that light vanish to?
Ullu Neytha KambalaminnuThe blanket woven from the heart,
Oornnu Veenuvohas it slipped and fallen today?
Nirayunne AagaveIt’s filling up everywhere,
Urayunno Manjupolfreezing just like the snow.
Chalanam NilkkumoWill all life come to a standstill?
Kaarmekham MoodunnuHeavy clouds are closing in.
Kanneeraay PeyyunnuIt’s raining down as tears.
Idari VeezhumeeCollapsing and falling,
Kinavu Koottilaaywithin this nest of dreams.
Izha Murinja NeeYou’re a thread that’s been snapped,
Iru Thenjal Baakkiyaayleaving only two sobs behind.
Oru Kaattinaal ThiriyoothaveWhen a gust snuffs out the candle,
Mezhuvormakal Irulaakavewaxy memories fade to black.
Ini Aaru KaavalaayWho’ll be the guardian now?
