Kannile
Adithya Rk | Santhosh Narayanan • From “Andhagan The Pianist”
Kannile Lyrics Translation (from “Andhagan The Pianist”)
Uma Devi writes about flames in the eyes and an unquenchable inner fire. The singer asks if life becomes defined by conflict or if dreams survive the surrounding darkness. Lines question whether humanity survives personal battles.
Kannile AnaiyathaAn unquenchable fire in the eyes,
Thee AlaiA wave of flames.
Ennamellam AlainthuAll my thoughts wander,
Kaarirul SozhutheAs pitch darkness surrounds me.
Theeratha Perum PoraagaLike a great, unending war,
Thedal Sumakindra KalamTime carries the burden of this search.
Ondrirandaa Pei ManamIs this ghostly mind one or two?
Vovvondrume Or NiramEach one wears a different color.
Vizhiyile ThengidumWill the dreams lingering in the eyes,
Kanavugal PazhikumoEver come to life?
Unmaikkul Thee SudaAs fire burns within the truth,
Uravukkul PeridaiThere’s a massive rift within relations.
Ullam Ennum Thogai ThaanWill the plumage that is the soul,
Vendridumo VenthidumoWin this battle, or burn to ash?
YaaragumoWhat will it become?
Bathil Naan AagumoWill I become the answer?
Por Soozhum VaazhvoIs this a life besieged by war?
Ithuvoo Ethuvooo OoIs it this, or is it that?
Thanakkena VaazhnthidumLiving only for itself,
Kanakkugal PottidumCasting its calculations,
Suyanala KodugalWill these lines of selfishness,
Thodarumo TholaiyumoContinue on or fade away?
Oru Thuli NeerilumEven in a single drop of water,
Nilam Inge PookutheThe land here blooms.
Manithathai ThorkathanHaving defeated humanity,
Manam Inge ThudikutheThe heart is beating here.
Veenagumo Uyir VeenagumoWill life go to waste? Will it be in vain?
Thirai Podum En Vaazhkai IthuvoIs this my life that draws the curtain?
Kanavo Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh OhOr is it just a dream?
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh OhOh, oh, oh.
Ha Ha HaHa, ha, ha.
