Gowri Lakshmi wrote, composed, and performed “Kathirunne” for the album Idi Mazha Katt. The song, from a film starring Chemban Vinod Jose and Sreenath Bhasi, opens with the line “I kept waiting for you.” This waiting continues through sun, rain, and snow.

Idi Mazha Katt’s Kathirunne Lyrics Translation
The meaning of the Kathirunne lyrics develops a sense of endurance. The words describe inner flames dying out while a smile is maintained. It later shows a person alone in the dark, with eyes burning like embers.

The track builds through repetition of the phrase “I kept waiting.” This structure links the waiting to the natural cycles mentioned in the verses. The song presents devotion as a constant force that withstands seasonal changes and personal exhaustion.
