Connect’s Naan Varaigira Vaanam Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Kadhirmozhi Sudha contrasts a fish trapped in a tank with rivers flowing seaward. Uthara Unnikrishnan sings about drawing one’s own sky. The lyrics reject limitations through water and flight imagery.
Nan Varaigira VaanamThe sky that I’m drawing,
Kai Thodugira Dhooramis within my reach.
Or Paravaiyai NanumLike a bird, I too,
Van Urasida Venumwant to graze the heavens.
Manam KulanthaiyaiMy heart, like a child,
Adam Pidikkutheis stubbornly insisting.
Idaiveli IllamalWithout any gap,
Kanavugal Thurathudhedreams are chasing me.
Kadal Alaigal SollamalThe ocean waves, without a word,
En Kaladi Urasudheare brushing against my feet.
