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.

Aame Tum Baalo BhaashiI love you
Kaathirunne Njan NinneI kept waiting for you
Kaathirunne NjanI kept waiting
Veyilaayi Mazhayaayi Manjaayi EnnittumAs sun, as rain, as snow, and still
Kaathirunne NjanI kept waiting
Kaathirunne NjanI kept waiting
Ennullile ThirinaalangalThe little flames inside me
AnayumpozhumEven as they were dying out
Vaadaathe Njan ChiriA smile on my face that wouldn’t wither
Maayaathe NeengumpozhumAs I went on, not letting it vanish
Doorangalil Nin Nizhal KoodaveYour shadow with me from so far away
Iniyennu Nee Arikil VarumWondering when you would finally come near
EnnorkkayaayLost in the thought
Irulil ThaniyeAlone in the darkness
Mizhikal NirayeMy eyes brimming over
KanalaayeriyeBurning like a glowing ember
EnnorkkayaayLost in the thought
Irulil ThaniyeAlone in the darkness
Mizhikal NirayeMy eyes brimming over
KanalaayeriyeBurning like a glowing ember
Veyilaayi Manjaayi Mazhayaayi EnnittumAs sun, as snow, as rain, and still
Kaathirunne NjanI kept waiting
Kaathirunne NjanI kept waiting
