Digambara Samiyar’s Naane Paavi Lyrics Translation
The speaker directly confronts the accusation against her. She states her innocence, arguing people only speak of a wrong her mother committed. The lyrics then contrast this judgment with society’s acceptance of a flawed moon rising in the sky.
Nane Pavi Enave ThaneI’m the sinner, that’s what they say
Ulagor Pazhi Kooruvadhe NeedhiThe world calls it justice to condemn me
En Kadhal Pazhagumoo VazhvinileWill my love ever find a place in this life?
Uyir Nadha Nam InaiyavoomaMy soul’s love, will we ever be one?
Ha Nane PaviAh, I’m the sinner
Nane Pavi Veene Ulagil ThondriI’m the sinner, born into this world for nothing
Thuyar Than KanavooIs all this sorrow just a dream?
Kanniladhorr Varthai YavumWill these cruel, unseeing words
Kadhal Nadhan KetppadhoReach the one that I love?
Pedhai Enaiye YerppadhoWill he accept an innocent girl like me?
Nane PaviI’m the sinner
Naiyai Aruginil SertheThey’ll keep a dog close by their side
Seipole Kakkum ParileAnd protect it like a child in this world
Pavai Enaiye VeenileBut an innocent girl like me, they just
Ariyar Seivar Perum KeliyeTurn into a target for their cruel jokes
Theedhu NanariyenI know of no wrongdoing
Theedhu NanariyenI’m not aware of any fault
En Madha Seidha Pazhiaye KooridumThey only talk about the sin my mother committed
Kanniladhorr Varthai YavumWill these cruel, unseeing words
Kadhal Nadhan KetppadhoReach the one that I love?
Pedhai Enaiye YerppadhoWill he accept an innocent girl like me?
Nane PaviI’m the sinner
Kalangam Mevum Venmadhi VanmeedheA moon with stains appears in the sky
Valardhal KangirarAnd they’ll watch as it rises
Oodhilla Siru Pavaiye MannmeedhuBut a helpless little girl on this earth
Vazhdhal YerkilarThey won’t accept her right to live
Katril MegamA cloud in the wind
Katril Megam Pole UllamA heart like a cloud in the wind
Mevi Inge VazhndhidumIt drifts and tries to live here
Kanniladhorr Varthai YavumWill these cruel, unseeing words
Kadhal Nadhan KetppadhoReach the one that I love?
Pedhai Enaiye YerppadhoWill he accept an innocent girl like me?
The song unfolds as a direct public plea. This repetition of “Naane Paavi” establishes the inescapable label she faces. The structure reinforces how this inherited judgment defines her existence to others.
