Mannichiru Lyrics Translation (from “Sirai”)
Prabhakaran’s lyrics compare the singer’s disorientation to a kite without strings. The stars realign into the lover’s name, showing how her absence disrupts his world.
Ana Ana Ana Ena AnaikkaHold me, oh hold me, just hold me close.
Manam Manam Dhinam Unai AzhaikkaMy heart calls out for you every single day.
Ana Ana Ana Ena AnaikkaHold me, oh hold me, just hold me close.
