Maaya Neer Vizhchiye Lyrics Translation – The Great Indian Kitchen Soundtrack
Dr. Kiruthiyaa describes bathing without getting wet, illustrating emotional numbness. Padmaja Sreenivasan questions dark clouds hiding moonlight, expressing frustration with obscured happiness.
Maaya Neer VizhchiyeOh, you illusory waterfall,
Kanakkal Nalum PaigindradheDreams keep pouring down all day.
Kulithum Nan NanaiyavillaiBut even after bathing, I haven’t gotten wet.
Thooya VinmeengalaiThe pure stars,
Padhitha Pon Thodu JolikkindradheShine like studded golden earrings.
Vidinthum Yen KanavillaiBut even after dawn, why haven’t my dreams ended?
Then Eekalin ThedalA honeybee’s search,
Poongavana Kadhavai TheendaAs it tries to touch the garden’s gate,
Oyamale Anumadhi IllaiyeIt’s relentlessly denied permission.
Sendruva Endru Nam KooralamWe could just tell it to go away,
Va Rai ThozhiCome on, my friend.
Regai Nedunjalai PolLike the long road of a palm line,
Adhu Neendu Engeyoo SelgindradheIt stretches on and disappears somewhere.
Piriyamanavan Oor ThediyooIs it searching for my loved one’s town?
Kaindha Panai OlaigalThe dried palm leaves,
Katrodu Vidamal VayadadheWon’t stop rustling with the wind.
Avai Enna Rettai ThozhigalooAre they like a pair of twin friends?
Ilai Pookkalai Mooda KoodathenaSo that the leaves don’t cover the flowers,
Adhattuven NaneI’ll scold them myself.
Karmegame Nilavinai MaraikkaveYou dark clouds, to hide the moon…
Urimai Yar KoduthathuWho gave you the right?
Kandippom Varai ThozhiLet’s go find out, my friend.
