Megangal Lyrics Translation G. V. Prakash | Saindhavi | Karumegangal Kalaigindrana
Vaira Muthu contrasts broken relationships with lingering emotions: ‘Uravu pirivathaal, Unarchi piriyumaa.’ G. V. Prakash’s vocals emphasize the physical toll of unresolved grief in ‘Udalin thandanai.’
Megangal KalinthathennaWhy’ve the clouds scattered?
Vaanam TholainthathennaWhy’s the sky gone missing?
Uyirai ThurathikondaeWhile chasing after life,
Udalgal Alaivathennawhy’re our bodies wandering?
Megangal KalinthathennaWhy’ve the clouds scattered?
Vaanam TholainthathennaWhy’s the sky gone missing?
Uyirai ThurathikondaeWhile chasing after life,
Udalgal Alaivathennawhy’re our bodies wandering?
Uyirgal AlaivathennaWhy’re our souls wandering?
Uravu PirivathaalIf a relationship breaks,
Unarchi Piriyumaado the emotions ever part?
Unmaikku Thookam VarumaaDoes the truth ever fall asleep?
Kulaththil VeezhvathaalJust by falling into a pond,
Nizhalum Nanaiyumaadoes a shadow get wet?
Nenjukkul Vali NirkkumaaWill the pain in the heart ever stop?
Vaazhvu ThediyaeWhile searching for a life,
Vaazhvu Theerumaadoes life itself run out?
Paadhai TheeralaamA path might end,
Payanam Theerumaabut does the journey ever end?
Alaiyum PizhaippilaeIn this wandering survival,
Amaidhi Kidaikumaawill peace ever be found?
Un AnbuWill your own love,
Unnai Thodumaaever reach out to touch you?
Megangal KalinthathennaWhy’ve the clouds scattered?
Vaanam TholainthathennaWhy’s the sky gone missing?
Uyirai ThurathikondaeWhile chasing after life,
Udalgal Alaivathennawhy’re our bodies wandering?
Uyirgal AlaivathennaWhy’re our souls wandering?
Dhisaiyai TholaiththavanThe man who’s lost his way
Thedi Pogiraangoes searching for it.
Selvadhu Endha DhisaiyoI wonder which way he’s heading.
Udaindha TholgalilOn broken shoulders,
Malaiyai Sumappadhuas he carries a mountain,
Unaku Vandha Vidhiyois this the fate you’ve been dealt?
Muthumai EnbadhaeOld age itself
Udalin Thandanaiis a punishment for the body.
Ilamai ThavarugalYouthful mistakes,
Muthumai Thandanaiare what old age punishes.
Manidhan OrupakkamMan’s on one side,
Vazhkkai Orupakkam\Irandum Muran Paduthaelife’s on the other, and the two are constantly at odds.
Megangal KalinthathennaWhy’ve the clouds scattered?
Vaanam TholainthathennaWhy’s the sky gone missing?
Uyirai ThurathikondaeWhile chasing after life,
Udalgal Alaivathennawhy’re our bodies wandering?
Uyirgal AlaivathennaWhy’re our souls wandering?

The ‘Megangal’ lyrics in English question whether peace arrives after life’s struggles. Vaira Muthu’s metaphors of scattered clouds and lost skies frame existential uncertainty.
