Naatpadu Theral’s Naam Nadandha Theruvil Tamil Lyrics English Meaning
Aalaap Raju narrates walking the street alone, a place once shared. The road now echoes their unspoken conversations. He observes how the cuckoos’ poetic songs have vanished and time has dried up.
Nam Nadandha TheruvilOn the street where we walked,
Nan MattumI’m all alone.
Nizhal Vizhundha TheruvilOn the street where shadows fall,
Irul Mattumthere’s only darkness.
Kavidhai Padiya KuyilgalThe cuckoos that once sang poetry,
Irandhu Ponadhadihave all died.
Kalam Ennum NadhiyooThe river they call ‘Time’,
Vadindhu Ponadhadihas completely dried up.
Kanneer Eritha Sambal MattumOnly the ashes from my burnt tears,
Katril Alaiyudhadiare drifting in the wind.
Nam Nadandha TheruvilOn the street where we walked,
Nan MattumI’m all alone.
Nizhal Vizhundha TheruvilOn the street where shadows fall,
Irul Mattumthere’s only darkness.
Indha Theruvil Kagam KaraindhalIf a crow caws on this street,
Isai Thanit’s music.
Indha Theruvil Puzhudhi ParandhalIf the dust flies on this street,
Manam Thanit’s a fragrance.
Indha Theruvil Veppam Kaniyum Then ThanThe warmth on this street ripens into honey.
Ithanai Mayam Nigazhndha Karanam NeethanYou’re the reason all this magic happened.
Kadhal Nadandha VeedhiyileWalking down the lane where our love once strolled,
Nadandhu Parthal Kodumaiyeis pure cruelty.
Dhegam Thedi Adai OndruA body searching for another,
Nadandhu Podhal Naragamewalking on is hell itself.
Oru Sollum PesamaleWithout a single word being spoken,
Oomai Kadhal Mudindhadhadiour silent love came to an end.
Nam Idhayangalin Uraiyadalai ThanThe conversations of our hearts,
Indha Theruve Pesudhadiare now what this street gossips about.
Nam Nadandha TheruvilOn the street where we walked,
Nan MattumI’m all alone.
Nizhal Vizhundha TheruvilOn the street where shadows fall.
Sayam Pona Pookkal PookkumFlowers that have lost their color still bloom,
Marangalon the trees.
Nam Kannam Pola Karai PeyarndhaLike our cheeks, the stains have faded,
Suvargalfrom the walls.
Thinnai Ellam Odi Pona KudilgalThe porches are all that’s left of runaway huts.
Unnai Ennai Thedi Parkum ThadangalThese are the traces that search for you and me.
Veedhiyirundhum VerumaiyaiEven with a street, there’s emptiness,
Nadhiyirundhum Thanimaiyaieven with a river, there’s loneliness.
Ilakkanathil Mattum AllaNot just in grammar,
Vazhkkaiyilum Orumaiaibut in life, too, we’re singular.
Oru Sollum PesamaleWithout a single word being spoken,
Oomai Kadhal Mudindhadhadiour silent love came to an end.
Nam Idhayangalin Uraiyadalai ThanThe conversations of our hearts,
Indha Theruve Pesudhadiare now what this street gossips about.
Nam Nadandha TheruvilOn the street where we walked,
Nan MattumI’m all alone.
Nizhal Vizhundha TheruvilOn the street where shadows fall,
Irul Mattumthere’s only darkness.
Kavidhai Padiya KuyilgalThe cuckoos that once sang poetry,
Irandhu Ponadhadihave all died.
Kalam Ennum NadhiyaThe river they call ‘Time’,
Vadindhu Ponadhadihas completely dried up.
Kanneer Eritha Sambal MattumOnly the ashes from my burnt tears,
Katril Alaiyudhadiare drifting in the wind.
Nam Nadandha TheruvilOn the street where we walked,
Nan MattumI’m all alone.
Nizhal Vizhundha TheruvilOn the street where shadows fall.
