With profound metaphorical eloquence, Hanan Shaah’s Tamil lyrics for the fan-made “Ranjha” cover “Kanave Unnai Vanthu Sera,” AKA “Theeratha Thuyarathil Naanum Song,” capture the landscape of all-consuming love and longing. As the lovelorn protagonist beseeches his distant beloved to join him beyond even death, Shaah employs stirring imagery, conjuring an emotional realm that is both vibrant and melancholic.
Shaah’s minimalist composition puts his unadorned lyrics at center stage. Sparse strains of guitar echo the fragility articulated in each line—the hesitation of new love tinged by its world-shattering depth. The music’s simplicity underscores this profoundly universal phenomenon.
With no official music video available yet, Shaah has opted for an interim lyrical video, allowing listeners vivid glimpses into the Tamil words. This makes the song more accessible for non-Tamil speakers as well, granting a window into its lyrical essence. As phrases like “You are my blue lotus” appear visually, global audiences can now inhabit this poetic landscape.
KANAVE UNNAI VANTHU SERA SONG LYRICS ENGLISH MEANING | THEERATHA THUYARATHIL NAANUM
Oh, dream, come and embrace me
Naan Ingu Varam Ondru Ketten
I asked for just one blessing here
Maranam Nerungidumbodhum,
Even when death comes near
Un Ninaivinil Vazhnthiduvene
I will live within your memories
Theeratha Thuyarathil Naanum
In sorrow, I float.
Kaatrodu Karainthaai Neeyum
You faded away like the wind
Neengatha Nilavoli Aanaai
Yet you became an unending moonlight
Anbe Anbe
Oh love, my love
Maru Jenmam Irunthaal Kooda
Even if there is reincarnation
Uyire Un Karam Pidippene
My dear, I will hold your hand again
Un Kаl Thаdam Nan Thodаrvene,
I will follow your footprints
Anbe Anbe
Oh love, my love
