Kanne Maniye
Gayathry Rajiv | Yadhu Krishna • From “Ninnu Vilayadu”
Kanne Maniye Lyrics Translation – Ninnu Vilayadu Soundtrack
Gayathry Rajiv sings about wandering together before splitting midway. Yadhu Krishna questions survival when the sky burns, asking where the moon can escape.
Kanne Maniye Endhan ThunaiyeMy dear, my precious gem, my soul’s companion.
Nenju Erinju YeruthuthadiMy heart is burning, consumed by these flames.
Unnai Kanum Ovvoru NodiyumEvery single moment that I see you,
Mannul Puthaigiren NanumadiI feel like I’m being buried alive in this earth.
Onna Thirunjom VeedhiyilaWe wandered these streets together as one,
Namma Renda Pirunjom PaadhiyilaBut we were torn in two, halfway down the road.
Ellam Nadanthum Veli IllaEverything has happened, yet there is no escape.
Ippo Thunda Ponom Nadhi IllaiWe’ve become broken pieces, stranded without a river’s flow.
Anbodu Nadakuren OthaiyilaI walk this lonely path, still carrying my love,
Alladi Thavikiren MathiyilaStruggling and thrashing about in the middle of nowhere.
Unai Enni Thane Manasula NaaneThinking of only you, here in my mind,
Thathalichene Unnala ThaneI’ve been struggling, and it’s all because of you.
Thathalichene Unnala ThaneI’ve been struggling, and it’s all because of you.
Theeyin Pidiyil Vaanam IrunthaalIf the sky itself is caught in the grip of fire,
Nilavu Enge PovathuWhere is the moon supposed to go?
Nerunga Pogum Vaazhkai KulleWithin this life that we tried to hold so close,
Iniyum Enge VaalvathuWhere are we supposed to live from now on?
Naan Unnala Themburen Nalla YengurenI’m sobbing over you, aching with a deep longing.
Solla Thanguren Nalla Vanum ThanI hesitate to speak, though I only want what’s best.
Vaaduren Ulla ThondurenI am withering away, feeling hollowed out inside.
Ennai Theduren Varla Neeyum ThanI’m searching for myself, but you still haven’t come.
Neeyum Naanum Sernthu PogaFor you and me to journey on together,
Iniyum Illa Yogam ThanIt seems we simply don’t have that fortune anymore.
Rendu Uyirum Onnu SeraFor our two souls to finally merge into one,
Kangal Nadathuthu Yaagam ThanMy eyes are performing a sacrificial ritual of tears.
Unnala MunnalaBecause of you, in the days before,
Thooruna Mazhai KaanalaThe gentle rain is nowhere to be seen.
Vila Maari Ponathu VaanilaThe sky itself has changed its hues.
Aaduna Ela Vaaduthu Pizhai AanathuThe dancing leaf is withering; it has all become a mistake.
Vithi PoovulaA cruel fate written in the flowers.
Kanne Maniye Endhan ThunaiyeMy dear, my precious gem, my soul’s companion.
Nenju Erinju YeruthuthadiMy heart is burning, consumed by these flames.
Unnai Kanum Ovvoru NodiyumEvery single moment that I see you,
Mannul Puthaigiren NanumadaI feel like I’m being buried alive in this earth.
