Mannuminge Lyrics Translation – Kalaga Thalaivan Soundtrack
Egnath Raj’s writing describes soil turned toxic and hearts crushed by grief. Corelli sings how rivers now trade life itself as commercial goods. Padmalatha Ramanand’s voice deepens the despair when describing forests choked by pollution.
Mannumingu NanjacheThe soil here has turned to poison.
Manasellam NainjacheEvery heart has been crushed by sorrow.
Kannu Muzhi OnjacheOur eyes have grown weary from exhaustion.
Kathuminga VesamacheEven the air here has become a toxic ‘poison’.
Kadu BoomiThe forests and the land,
Aaru NeeruThe rivers and the water,
Aache MasuThey’ve all become polluted.
Kathe PesuNow, tell their story.
Thanneer Suva MarutheThe taste of water is changing.
Thagam Vela KekkutheMy thirst is asking for a price.
Nathum VayalumWill the saplings and the fields,
Nalam VazhnthidumaEver live in prosperity again?
Moochum ThadumarutheMy breath is faltering.
Peechum ThavipagutheMy speech is filled with distress.
Kathum DhenamumWill the wind blow through,
Vandhu VeesidumaTo reach us every single day?
Iyarkai UruvakkiNature created everything,
Thandhadhu Nelame NelameAnd gave us this land as a gift.
Manusan ThanathakiBut man claimed it as his own,
Nattadhu Vesame VesameAnd planted only seeds of ‘deception’.
Olage Perun SandhaiThe whole world’s a giant marketplace ‘sandhai’,
Suthum Valaiya ValaiyaSpinning like a recurring trap.
Uyire Viyabaram KekkumIt’s a time when life itself,
Velaiya VelaiyaAsks for a commercial price.
Mannumingu NanjacheThe soil here has turned to poison.
Manasellam NainjacheEvery heart has been crushed by sorrow.
Kannu Muzhi OnjacheOur eyes have grown weary from exhaustion.
