Mann Meedhu
P. Susheela • From “Kann Thiranthadhu”
What is the meaning of Mann Meedhu Lyrics from Kann Thiranthadhu?
Rao’s words compare female tears to endless rivers. A woman describes herself as straw tossed on turbulent water. Later verses use a hooked fish to represent inescapable grief.
Mann Meedhu Paayum Maanadhi YaavumAll the great rivers rushing over the earth
Pengalin KanneeroAre they simply women’s tears?
Paedhai Pengalin KanneeroThe tears of innocent souls?
Mann Meedhu Paayum Maanadhi YaavumAll the great rivers rushing over the earth
Pengalin KanneeroAre they simply women’s tears?
Paedhai Pengalin KanneeroThe tears of innocent souls?
Alaiyadhan Melae Thurumbhai PoleLike a wisp of straw upon the waves
Nilaithadumaari KalangidalaanenI’ve lost my balance, tossed in the haze
Alaiyadhan Melae Thurumbhai PoleLike a wisp of straw upon the waves
Nilaithadumaari KalangidalaanenI’ve lost my balance, tossed in the haze
Vaazhvidhu Veeno Vazhi KaanbenoIs this life in vain? Will I find a way?
Paarile Ennaalumae Vedhanai ThaanoMust I suffer in this world every single day?
Mann Meedhu Paayum Maanadhi YaavumAll the great rivers rushing over the earth
Pengalin KanneeroAre they simply women’s tears?
Paedhai Pengalin KanneeroThe tears of innocent souls?
Thoondilil Veezhndha Meen Pol NaaneLike a fish that’s fallen for the hook
Soozhndhidum Thuyaraal ThudithalaanenI writhe in the grip of closing grief
Thoondilil Veezhndha Meen Pol NaaneLike a fish that’s fallen for the hook
Soozhndhidum Thuyaraal ThudithalaanenI writhe in the grip of closing grief
Sodhanai Yeno Thunbamae ThaanoWhy this trial? Is it sorrow alone?
Kaar Irul Neengidum Kaalam VaaradhoWon’t the time come when the darkness is gone?
Mann Meedhu Paayum Maanadhi YaavumAll the great rivers rushing over the earth
Pengalin KanneeroAre they simply women’s tears?
Paedhai Pengalin KanneeroThe tears of innocent souls?
