Maaya Manam Meaning & Lyrics (Sam Vishal | Santhosh Balaji)
Senthivel writes of fire turning cold and daylight hiding in darkness. Vishal describes standing alone after a dream vanishes. The lyrics show a heart still calling out for lost love.
Maaya ManamurugumMy illusory heart melts,
Thanal Eriyum DhegamMy body burns like glowing embers.
Nigazh Arindha Piragum EnnulEven though I know the truth now,
Nizhal Oliyil VaadumIt still wilts within me in the shadow’s light.
Kannil Nindra Kanavu PonadhaeThe dream that lived in my eyes is gone.
Karaiyil Nirkkiren NanumI’m left standing alone on the shore.
Nindru Pona Idhayam KetkkudhaeThis heart that stopped is calling out.
Kaadhal Theduthae Vaa AnbaeIt’s searching for love, so come to me, my dear.
Aagayam VadidudhaeThe sky is draining away.
Vaarthaiyindri PaadidudhaeIt’s singing a song without words.
Kaayam Vandhu Yengum NenjilIn my heart that’s longing and wounded,
Un Ninaivu OdudhaeYour memory keeps rushing back.
Paadhaigalaal PirindhenaeI’ve been separated by these paths,
Naanum EnnaiFrom my very own self.
Paarvaigalaal PurindhenaeI’ve finally understood you,
UnnaiThrough the depth of your gazes.
En Thaabam Edhu EndruDon’t your ‘velvigal’ ‘sacred rituals’ know,
Un Velvigal AriyaadhoWhat my deep longing is?
Nee Sollum Badhil YaavumWill our time ever accept,
Nam Kaalaangal YerkkumoAny of the answers you give?
Thanimaiyum Thanimaiyum NeelaAs this endless loneliness stretches on,
Maatram Moozhgi PogaAnd every change sinks away.
Nam Ninaivugal Ninaivugal TheeraAs our memories slowly run out,
Theindhu Pogiren UnnudanaeI’m fading away right along with you.
Theeyum Indru KulirgirathuEven the fire feels cold today.
Pagalum Irulil MaraigirathuThe daylight is hiding in the darkness.
Meedhamulla Oliyil UndhanIn the faint light that remains,
Imaiyin Ooram ThondruthaeThe edge of your eyelid appears.
