Roja Movie’s Kaadhal Rojave Lyrics (with English Translation)
Kadhal Rojave Enge Nee Enge,
Oh, my love Roja, where are you?
Kanneer Vazhiyudhadi Kanne,
Tears are rolling down, dear.
Kannukkul Needhan Kanneeril Needhan,
You are there in the eyes, and You are there in tears.
Kanmoodi Parthal Nenjukkul Needhan,
When eyes are closed, You are in my heart, too.
Ennanadho Edhanadho Sol Sol,
Tell, what happened?
Kadhal Rojave Enge Nee Enge,
Oh, my love Roja, where are you?
Kanneer Vazhiyudhadi Kanne,
Tears are rolling down, dear.
Thendral Ennai Theendinal Selai Theendum Nyabagam,
The touch of the breeze reminds me of your saree.
China Pookkal Parkaiyil Dhegam Partha Nyabagam,
Seeing tender flowers reminds me of your body.
Velli Odai Pesinal Sonna Varthai Nyabagam,
The Silver Stream speech reminds me of your words.
Megam Rendum Sergaiyil Mogam Konda Nyabagam,
When two clouds merge, it reminds me of our cuddle.
Vayillamal Ponal Varthai Illai Penne,
No words when there is a mouth.
Neeyillamal Ponal Vazhkkai Illai Kanne,
There is no life without me.
Mullodudhan Muthangala Sol Sol,
Do Kisses have thorns?
Kadhal Rojave Enge Nee Enge,
Oh, my love Roja, where are you?
Kanneer Vazhiyudhadi Kanne,
Tears are rolling down, dear.
Kannukkul Needhan Kanneeril Needhan,
You are there in the eyes, and You are there in tears.
Kanmoodi Parthal Nenjukkul Needhan,
When eyes are closed, You are in my heart, too.
Ennanadho Edhanadho Sol Sol,
Tell, what happened?
Veesugindra Thendrale Velai Illai Nindru Po,
Oh, blowing breeze, stop! You have no job.
Pesugindra Vennila Penmai Illai Oindhu Po,
Oh, whispering moonlight, Go away, no feminine here.
Poo Valartha Thottame Koondhal Illai Theirndhu Po,
Oh, garden with flowers. Wither it all, no more lovely hair.
Boomi Parkum Vaname Pulliyaga Theindhu Po,
Oh, the sky vanishes and fades away to a spot.
Pavai Illai Pavai Thevai Enna Thevai,
No dames are necessary now.
Jeevan Pona Pinne Sevai Enna Sevai,
What is service after once life has gone?
Mullodudhan Muthangala Sol Sol,
Do Kisses have thorns?
Kadhal Rojave Enge Nee Enge,
Oh, my love Roja, where are you?
Kanneer Vazhiyudhadi Kanne,
Tears are rolling down, dear.
Kannukkul Needhan Kanneeril Needhan,
You are there in the eyes, and You are there in tears.
Kanmoodi Parthal Nenjukkul Needhan,
When eyes are closed, You are in my heart, too.
Ennanadho Edhanadho Sol Sol,
Tell, what happened?
