Komban Lyrics Meaning Neha S. Nair | Yakzan Gary Pereira | Nadikar
Baby Jean describes a defiant spirit breaking free: ‘You cut the very horns they tried to hold.’ The lyrics show a wolf-like resistance to control, with imagery of twisted vines and scorching heat shaping the struggle.
CherukidaAfter the rhythmic chaos of the beats,
Tharikida Tharikida KazhijittuOnce the frantic ‘Tharikida’ drums fade away,
Panjoru Kadalugal AppuramBeyond the vast expanse of the five seas,
Kaana Kazhcha JaalagamA window opens to sights never seen before,
Maara Novukal Perum PaathakalRevealing paths that bear the weight of incurable pain.
Kandalum Mundaatha ChennayiThe wolf that remains silent, even when spotted,
Kannile Thechalum MachalumEven if you rub it or try to hide it in your eye,
Pogatha Rothanam ChekuthanteThe devil’s filth refuses to be washed away.
Thalayile Kombukal EyyanTo take aim at the horns upon his head,
Ambukal Enthiya Naayi PadayudeAn army of dogs arrived, armed with arrows.
Thalayadh Koyyan Urkkinte MeyyaanuBut this body is built of steel to harvest that head,
Piraanth Keranu Adachu KoyyanMadness rises to cut it all down completely.
Pathayil Erija ThiyyaYou are the fire that blazed upon the path,
Pidicha Kombukal Murichu NiyyaYou cut the very horns they tried to hold,
Edanja Kombane Thalacha KayyaYou’re the hand that chained the rebellious Tusker.
CherukidaAfter the rhythmic chaos of the beats,
Tharikida Tharikida KazhijittuOnce the frantic ‘Tharikida’ drums fade away,
Panjoru Kadalugal AppuramBeyond the vast expanse of the five seas,
Kaana Kazhcha JaalagamA window opens to sights never seen before,
Maara Novukal Perum PaathakalRevealing paths that bear the weight of incurable pain.
Chamanju Paayum Piranthil AadanuDancing in the madness that rushes in disguised,
Cheruthu Keran Peruthu KeranuResisting as it climbs, expanding as it climbs,
Kurutha Vallikal PenanjuTwisted vines have entangled tight,
Thirija Kaalam Thirich NedanTo snatch back the time that turned away.
Erichel Eriya Parukkan KurachilBecoming rough and rugged in the scorching heat,
Aariya Kirukkan Aavanu KithachPanting, he turns into a cool-headed madman.
Kurachi Aariya Kirukkan AavanuSimmering down, he becomes a quiet lunatic,
Kithach Cheriya Kurukkan AakanuPanting, he transforms into a small fox,
Kithach Cheriya Kurukkan AanuPanting, he is indeed a cunning little fox.
Theera Novum Peri Pendu ParannorThose who took flight carrying endless pain,
Allo Nammal Kaana LokhamIsn’t this the unseen world we spoke of?
Kayari Padukkan KacharothikkiyaHe tightened his gear to climb and conquer,
Komban Theera Novum PeriThe Tusker, bearing the weight of endless pain.
Kond Parannor Allo Nammal KaanaThose who flew with it… isn’t this the unseen…
Lokham Kayri Padukkan KachaWorld, where he prepped to climb and conquer?
Murukkiya Komban ChamanjuThe prepared Tusker stands disguised,
Paayum Piranthil AadanuDancing in the rushing madness.
Cheruth Keran Peruthu KeranuResisting as it climbs, expanding as it climbs,
Kurutha Vailikal PenanjuTwisted vines have entangled tight,
Thirija Kaalam Thirich NedanTo snatch back the time that turned away.
Erichel Eriya Parukkan AavanuBecoming rough and rugged in the scorching heat,
Kurachil Aariya KirukkanIn the shortage, a cool-headed madman,
Aavsnu Erichel Eriya ParukanHe becomes the rough one burning in the fire,
Aavanu Aariya KirukkanHe becomes the cool-headed madman.
Aavanu Maara NovukalHe becomes the incurable pain,
Perum PaathikalWalking these heavy paths.
Piranth Kaathukal ChuvannuThe mad ears have turned red,
Chuvannu Chumakk ChumakkReddened… bear the weight, bear the weight,
Chumakk Chumakk Piranthu KeranuBear it, bear it, the madness is climbing.
