Kanaa Lyrics Meaning N.R. Raghunanthan | Sarathi | Lockdown
Sarathi describes a restless mind, likening it to a wave, and talks about the pain of unanswered questions. The poet mentions legs that once spun like tops but now lie broken. These physical details highlight the emotional burden of the protagonist.
Kana Kalaindhume PonadheMy dream has shattered and it’s gone.
Vina Vidukadhai AnadheThis question has become an ‘unanswered riddle’.
Dhinam Valigalum KoodudheEvery day, the pain just keeps growing.
Manam Alaiyena AnadheMy mind has become like a restless wave.
Vazhi Thedi Nanum ThavikkireneI’m struggling as I search for a way out,
Padhaigal Mullanadhefor the paths have turned into thorns.
Karai Serum Dhooram TheriyavillaiI don’t know how far it’s to reach the shore,
Kanneer Arai Odudheas a river of tears flows through me.
Oh Pennena Bhoomiyil VandhaleOh, since I was born as a woman on this earth,
Ethanai Sodhanai Manmelehow many trials must I face on this land?
Pennena Anadhin PinnaleEver since I grew into a woman,
Nimmadhi Ponadhu Thannalemy peace of mind has vanished on its own.
Oh En Vali Yaridam SolvenoOh, who can I tell about my pain?
En Sumaithan Idhu EnbenoShould I just say this is my own burden?
En Pazhi Nan Ingu VelvenoWill I ever overcome this blame I carry?
Eppadi Nan Ini VazhvenoHow am I supposed to live from now on?
En Pizhaiyale En Thalai MeleBecause of my mistake, hanging over my head,
En Vidhi Mari Ponadhemy whole destiny has changed.
Pambaram Pole Sutriya KalgalMy legs that used to spin like a ‘spinning top’,
Pazhudhagi Ponadhehave now become broken and useless.
Oh Pennena Bhoomiyil VandhaleOh, since I was born as a woman on this earth,
Ethanai Sodhanai Manmelehow many trials must I face on this land?
Pennena Anadhin PinnaleEver since I grew into a woman,
Nimmadhi Ponadhu Thannalemy peace of mind has vanished on its own.
