The lyrics describe a world where love grows within walls, ‘We wove our hearts together, in this inner hall.’ Sithara’s voice brings out the warmth and tension of shared moments, while the melody mirrors the ebb and flow of emotions.
Ee MathilkakathuWithin these walls
Pala Idamm PakuthuSharing many a space
Ee MathilkakathuInside this walled world
Pala Idamm PakuthuDividing many a corner
Naam AnudhinamEvery single day
Manam KoruthuWe wove our hearts together
Ee AkathalathuIn this inner hall
Chila KadhakathuSome stories hidden within
Naam Parasparam Chevi KoduthuWe gave ear to one another
Mohangal VarodumAs desires come flowing in
Kalangal NammoduAs time stays by our side
InangiyumReconciling
PinangiyumAnd falling out
Thoduthorambilu KurichuvachathuMarked upon the arrows we’ve aimed
Kadutha PremangalIntense, deep loves
Thaduthidumbalu NilathuveeniWhen blocked, they fell to the ground
Ttudanja MohangalShattered dreams
Namalenna LokamThe world we call ‘us’
Chodi MatturachanaalilOn the day we set our pace
Palavaakkukal NokkukalMany words and many glances
MoorchayullapoleSharp as a blade’s edge
Kaalamenna ThaalilUpon the page of time
Chila Vaakkukalkku MeethaOver certain words
Nira Snehamaam Souhridham Kothivacha PoleAs if carving a friendship full of love
Ee Manthari ChellatheWithout this ‘manthari’ ‘slow pace’ fading
Kadhayera ChollunnaTelling a thousand tales
Ee Chillakal Pookkathe NiramekunnaaThese branches giving color without even blooming
Pakuthathum Koruthathum ParasparamAll we’ve shared and woven together
ThoduthathallaamaIt’s more than just what we’ve started
