Midhun Eeswar asks direct questions about a missing person’s laughter and mischief. ‘Where did your laughter go?’ highlights the emotional weight of specific memories. The lyrics contrast past suffering with a present dulled by time.
Mulmuna KondinnakaleToday, you’re far away on a sharp edge.
Ingu Doore Nee EvideyoWhere are you, so far from here?
Cheru Kurumpukal EvideWhere’s your little mischief now?
Ninte Chirikal EngupoyWhere did your laughter go?
Kanaleriyunna KaalamIn this burning time,
Innividem Cheruthennaleeven the breeze feels small here today.
Mizhi Nanayunna Megham Angakale MarayunnuvoAre the clouds that wet my eyes fading away in the distance?
Manju PoyathenthinenthinoWhy did you fade away, for what reason?
Angu PoyathenthinenthinoWhy did you go so far away, for what reason?
Mulmuna KondinnakaleToday, you’re far away on a sharp edge.
Ingu Doore Nee EvideyoWhere are you, so far from here?
Cheru Kurumpukal EvideWhere’s your little mischief now?
Ninte Chirikal EngupoyWhere did your laughter go?
O OOh, oh.
