Kaikku Ettinadhu Meaning & Lyrics (Super Subu | Vijaynarain)
Super Subu frames repeated near-misses through lines like ‘What reached the hand didn’t reach the mouth.’ Vijaynarain’s protagonist observes foreigners chatting with his crush while his own attempts spark public mockery. Cultural values and daily work sour into irritants amid rejection.
Kaikku Ettunadhu Vaaikku EttulaWhat’s in my hand hasn’t reached my mouth.
Kaathuvaakula Kaadhalum SikkalaLove didn’t even get caught in the breeze.
Vathaalum ThothalumWhether I’m worn out or losing,
Oruthanm MadhikalaNot a single person respects me.
Ponnenae PonnenaeI’m done for, I’m done for.
Poram Pokka PonnenaeI’ve become a total waste.
Ponnenae PonnenaeI’m finished, I’m finished.
Poram Pokka PonnenaeI’ve turned into a complete nobody.
Perazhagae Unnaiya Paatha NodiOh great beauty, the moment I saw you,
Oru Pattu Moolaiya ThaakudhadiA song struck my mind.
Adha Naanum PaadunaIf I actually started singing it,
Oorae SirikaadhooWon’t the whole town laugh at me?
Aanenae AanenaeI’ve become, I’ve become.
Verum Jokka AanenaeI’ve become nothing but a joke.
Aanenae AanenaeI’ve turned, I’ve turned.
Verum Jokka AanenaeI’ve turned into just a joke.
Thaanae ThaanaeThaanae Thaanae,
Thanae NooThanae Noo.
VellakarangalumWhen foreigners,
Vadakathi PasangalumAnd guys from the North,
Unna Suthi Pesi NinnaStand around you and keep talking,
Utchi Manda Sulunnu SoodagumMy head starts burning with jealousy.
Enna Yaarum UngkittaIf anyone tells me to stand by you,
Kanna Paarthu Pesa SonnaAnd asks me to look into your eyes,
Bakku Bakku BakkunnuMy heart goes thump, thump, thump,
Bayam Vandhu ThelaagumAnd fear stings me like a ‘scorpion’.
Panpaadu Kaduppa PochiMy values have become an irritation.
Puzhapunna Sirippa PochiMy hard work has become a joke.
Oru Vaartha Pesum MunnaeBefore I can even say a word,
Oorae KadupaachiThe whole town gets annoyed.
Sindhaamana SidharamaWithout spilling or scattering anything,
Vazhinji Paathen Kolanji PaathenI tried to be smooth, I tried to plead.
Sirichi Paathen Morachi PaathenI tried smiling, I even tried acting tough.
Oru Tharam Neeyum Paatha PodhumIt’s enough if you just look at me once.
Marunodiyae Usiru Kara SerumIn the next second, my soul will reach the shore.
Aambala Buthi KalimannuA man’s mind is just made of clay.
Pathodu PadhinonnuI’m just another face in the crowd.
Aambala Buthi KalimannuA man’s mind is just made of clay.
Pathodu PadhinonnuI’m just another face in the crowd.
Pathodu PadhinonnuOne among many.
Pathodu PadhinonnuJust one of the many.
Pathodu PadhinonnuLost in the crowd.
Pathodu PadhinonnuOne of the many.
Kaikku Ettunadhu Vaaikku EttulaWhat’s in my hand hasn’t reached my mouth.
Kaathuvaakula Kaadhalum SikkalaLove didn’t even get caught in the breeze.
Vathaalum ThothalumWhether I’m worn out or losing,
Oruthanm MadhikalaNot a single person respects me.
Ponnenae PonnenaeI’m done for, I’m done for.
Poram Pokka PonnenaeI’ve become a total waste.
Ponnenae PonnenaeI’m finished, I’m finished.
Poram Pokka PonnenaeI’ve turned into a complete nobody.
Aanenae AanenaeI’ve become, I’ve become.
