The Road’s Nagaraatha Nodiyodu Tamil Lyrics English Meaning
Kapil Kapilan questions life’s hostility toward honest effort. Karthik Netha frames moral suffering through a puppet metaphor: ‘Where is the root of my dancing life?’ The lyrics reject false comfort in a world without answers.
Nagaraatha NodiyoduI’m stuck in a moment that doesn’t move,
Naan Vaazhgirenand this is how I’m living.
Iyangaatha SirakoduWith wings that can no longer fly,
Vaan PaarkirenI’m just staring at the sky.
Yeno Yeno KaneeroWhy, oh why, are these tears falling?
Yaarai Naan KetpenWho am I supposed to ask?
Veeno Veeno EllameIs every single thing in vain?
Yaarai Naan NovenWho am I supposed to blame?
Vazhve Enmel Yen VanmamLife, why do you hold such a grudge against me?
Yaarin Kobam En VaazhkaiyoWhose anger has become my life?
Kaanum Ellam Thee Endraal EngeIf everything I see is a wildfire, then where
En Deepamois my own little lamp?
Nermaiye Saabam EndraalIf honesty itself is a curse,
Naanum Enge Poovathowhere am I supposed to go?
Oor Ellam Poo Poo EndraalWhen the whole world is blooming with flowers,
Yarin Tholil Naan Saaivathowhose shoulder can I lean on?
Vidiyaatha Iravodu Naan VaazhgirenI’m living through a night that never ends.
Puriyaadha Ulagodu PooradinenI’ve struggled against a world I don’t understand.
Vaanil Undu VinmeengalThere are stars up in the sky.
Enge En VaazhvilWhere are they in my life?
Pogum Ellam PeitherilEverything’s swept away in a heavy downpour.
Kaneer En PoovilThere are tears on my flower.
Naal Ondru Ellorukkum UnduThey say everyone has their day.
Endraal Naan Thedum Naal EngeIf that’s true, where’s the day I’m looking for?
Noolil Aadum Bommai PolaJust like a puppet dancing on a string,
Aadum En Vazhvin Ver Engewhere’s the root of this life of mine?
Pizhaiye Needhi Adhuve Sedhi EndraalIf mistakes are justice and that’s the only news,
Inge Arangal Yenowhy is there any virtue left here?
Ini Naan Ini Naan YaaroWho am I now? Who have I become?
Vidiyaatha Iravodu Naan VaazhgirenI’m living through a night that never ends.
Puriyaadha Ulakodu PooradinenI’ve struggled against a world I don’t understand.
Vaanil Undu VinmeengalThere are stars up in the sky.
Enge En VaazhvilWhere are they in my life?
Pogum Ellam PeitherilEverything’s swept away in a heavy downpour.
Enge En KovilWhere is my sanctuary?
