Written And Directed God’s Kanmanee Lyrics Translation
The lyrics later call the absent loved one “the tear that gently falls” in a moment of sorrow. This directly connects the memory of the person to the physical act of grieving. The song also questions how to find comfort when there is no one left to embrace.
Kanmanee Njaanini Thazhukaanariyaa ViralayMy love, I’m now a finger that has forgotten how to caress
Kankalil Kadalaayi Nee Athiraay Azhakaay OzhukeIn my eyes, you’re an ocean, flowing boundless and beautiful
Nenjurukana Novil Peythaliyana Neer NeeIn this heart-melting sorrow, you are the tear that gently falls
Ennudaluyiraamen Vaazhvin NidhiyeYou are my body, my soul, the treasure of my life
Kannuzhiyana Neram Kunjilameyyaal NeeWhen my eyes search for you with your gentle form
Vannanayumee Nenjam NeeraatharikYou come to this heart, please don’t ever fade away
Mounam Paadumbol Thaarattaakaam NjaanWhen silence begins to sing, I’ll become its lullaby
Mounam Paadumbol Thaarattaakaam NjaanWhen silence begins to sing, I’ll become its lullaby
Kanmanee Njaanini Thazhukaanariyaa ViralayMy love, I’m now a finger that has forgotten how to caress
Kankalil Kadalaayi Nee Athiraay Azhakaay OzhukeIn my eyes, you’re an ocean, flowing boundless and beautiful
Njaanenne Thedunna KaalangalilIn all the moments I search for myself
Jeevante Aazham Nee Chaayum PoleIt feels like you’re leaning into the depths of my life
Oru Naalamaayi NernerinjuvoDid you burn softly, like a fading flame?
Mridhushwaasamaayi MaaralinjuvoDid you dissolve into my chest, a gentle breath?
Thoraathe Ee Vaanil VingumpozhumEven when this sky chokes back its endless tears
Neelaathe Raavellam NeelumpozhumEven when the night stretches on and never ends
Idanenjamaare PulkimaanjidumWho is there for this aching heart to embrace?
Nirakankalaare ChimmiyothidumWhose tear-filled eyes are there to soothe and close?
Ini Varum Pakalil NjaanIn the days that are still to come
Thirayumee VaramaayI will search for you as a sacred gift
Iravukal Nirayum NinAnd the nights will fill with
Chiriyude MozhiyaayThe language of your laughter
Kaalamitho KaavalupolTime itself seems to stand guard
Cherunne NeeyennullamAs you become one with my very soul
Kanmanee Njaanini Thazhukaanariyaa ViralayMy love, I’m now a finger that has forgotten how to caress
Kankalil Kadalaayi Nee Athiraay Azhakaay OzhukeIn my eyes, you’re an ocean, flowing boundless and beautiful
Nenjurukana Novil Peythaliyana Neer NeeIn this heart-melting sorrow, you are the tear that gently falls
Ennudaluyiraamen Vaazhvin NidhiyeYou are my body, my soul, the treasure of my life
Kannuzhiyana Neram Kunjilameyyaal NeeWhen my eyes search for you with your gentle form
Vannanayumee Nenjam NeeraatharikYou come to this heart, please don’t ever fade away
Mounam Paadumbol Thaarattaakaam NjaanWhen silence begins to sing, I’ll become its lullaby
Mounam Paadumbol Thaarattaakaam NjaanWhen silence begins to sing, I’ll become its lullaby
The track moves from a feeling of uselessness to a quiet resolve. The meaning of the ‘Kanmanee’ lyrics shows a person finding a new role by choosing to become a lullaby for the silence. This creates a final picture of acceptance, not by fighting grief but by tending to it.
