Deva | Rajasri • From “Suriyan”
What is the meaning of Mannathi Mannargal Lyrics from Suriyan?
Vaali compares fragile lives to thatched roofs in whirlwinds. He contrasts a nurturing figure’s divine love with biological motherhood, stating even birth mothers cannot equal her sacrifice.
Mannathi MannargalJust look at the kings of kings,
Kathai Kettu Paruand listen to their stories.
Soorathi Sooran NeeYou are a hero among heroes.
Unai Vella YaaruWho is there to defeat you?
Thalai Meethu KreedamA crown for your head,
Thanai Vanthu Serumwill come to you on its own.
Enge Pogum VeeramWhere could your bravery go?
Mannathi MannargalJust look at the kings of kings,
Kathai Kettu Paruand listen to their stories.
Vellai Ullam VaithaWith a heart as pure as white,
Pillai Vaadum Neramwhen this son withers in pain,
Annai Pola Kaathathe goddess who guarded like a mother,
Deivam Vanthu Serumwill come to join you.
Soorai Kaatril SaayumLeaning in the whirlwind,
Koorai Veeda Vazhkaiis your life just a thatched roof?
Kundrai Pola NindruStand firm like a hill,
Thottu Paru Vaanaiand reach out to touch the sky.
Itho Inge AarambamLook, it begins right here;
Puthiya Puratchi Thaanit’s truly a new revolution.
Enge Pogum VeeramWhere could your bravery go?
Mannathi MannargalJust look at the kings of kings,
Kathai Kettu Paruand listen to their stories.
Pethu PottathillaiShe didn’t give birth to you.
Perum VaithathillaiShe didn’t even name you.
Deivam Pola VanthaalShe came like a deity,
Deivam Pola Sendraaland she left like a deity.
Anbal Vantha PaavamIt was a bond born of love;
Vere Enna Sollawhat else is there to say?
Eendra Thaayum KoodaEven the mother who bore you
Ival Pola Allais not equal to her.
Pillai Pola Kolli Veikka Illai Yogam ThaanTo light the pyre like a son, you didn’t have the fortune.
Enge Pochu VeeramWhere has your bravery gone?
