Nee Kaanum Kanave Lyrics Translation – Kodiyil Oruvan Soundtrack
Mohan Rajan defines struggle through immediate contrasts. Thadai Azhagu presents obstacles as pathways rather than barriers. Bhayam Unnai positions fear’s departure as strength’s arrival, reinforcing action over hesitation.
Nee Kaanum KanaveThe dream that you see,
Unnai UruvaakkumIs the dream that will make you.
Unakku VazhikkaattumIt’ll show you the way,
Valiyai SirithaakkumIt’ll make the pain feel small,
Vazhvai PerithaakkumAnd make your life feel grand.
Nee Ingu Yaar EndruIt’s what will tell the world
Oorukku SollumadaExactly who you are.
Oru Kazhugin SirageAn eagle’s wing alone,
Kaatrai PadiyaakkumCan make the wind submit.
Kadalai PodiyaakkumIt can turn the sea to dust,
Vaanai VazhiyaakkumAnd make the sky its path.
Kanavai NijamaakkumIt’s what makes a dream come true,
Tholviyin KelviyilAnd when faced with the question of defeat,
Vaazhvinai MaatrumadaIt’s what will transform your life.
