Oru Ronaldo Chithram’s Mele Manathu Lyrics Translation

The lyrics then present a core belief as a response to that reality. A promise is made that even if the world stands against you, faith will offer a safe place. This guidance shifts the focus from avoiding pain to having a source of strength during hardship.

Mele Manathunnee MadiyilFrom the heavens above, into my lap
Veezhum Malakha PaithaleYou fall, my angel child
Ninne KoodathillarumeWithout you, there is no one else
Ennum EnnennumAlways and forever
Kaanekkaane Valarnnu NeeBefore my eyes, you continue to grow
Naalekkararay TheerilumAnd tomorrow, you’ll be on a different shore
Enikkennum Kunjay KaanenamBut to me, you must always be a child
Ninne Ee NinneYou, always you
Ninnomal Kannullil MinnumIn your precious, shining eyes
Kanneere Thanneedum LokamThe world will give you tears
Sneham Vazhi Nedan Orungenam NeeYou must learn to find your way with love
Oh OhOh oh
Irulil Kadalil Uyirazhnnu PoyalumEven if your soul is lost in a sea of darkness
Ulakam Muzhuvan Ethirayi NinnalumEven if the whole world stands against you
Eesho Thannidum AashrayamJesus will give you refuge
Orunalum MaaridatheA refuge that will never fail
Thellum Vaadalle KanmaniDon’t you fade, my precious one
Thaliru Poleyaano NeeYou are like a tender sprout

Swargam Chaare EnnorkkanamRemember that heaven is near
Murivellam MarakkanTo help you forget every wound
Karayathammathan Kurunne NeeSo don’t cry, my little one
Kaalam Kazhiyum VareAs time passes on
Njaano Thaniye IthileI walk this path alone
Thaazhe Paazhmannil VeezhumFalling on the barren earth below
PalanaalariyatheUnaware for so many days
Thudarum Vidhiye Ethiradan KazhiyatheUnable to fight against the fate that follows
ThalaratheWithout faltering

Swargam Chaare EnnorkkanamRemember that heaven is near
Murivellam MarakkanTo help you forget every wound
Karayathammathan Kurunne NeeSo don’t cry, my little one
Nee NeeYou, you
