Nee Maaya Nizhal Lyrics Translation Bhadra Rajin | Vineeth Sreenivasan | Hi Nanna
Vivek compares longing to a fish grasping a drying pond. Bhadra Rajin questions if shared memories became a desert, asking ‘who are you now?’ in the chorus. The imagery shifts from gardens to discarded roses, mapping emotional desolation.
Dhaagam Konda Meenin KaiyilIn the hands of a thirsty fish,
Kaayum KulamaIs it a drying pond?
Kadhal Endru Kaneer Neer AmmaIs what we call love just the water of tears?
Aasai Konda Nenjai ThandhuBy giving my heart full of longing,
Vangum RanamaIs this the wound I’ve bought?
Naanum Nenjum Paalai VanamaAre my heart and I just a desert?
Yen Unnil Kaadhal KondenWhy did I fall in love with you?
Yaarale Kaayam KandenBecause of whom did I get this wound?
Ye Edhu Marithaalum Manam ThaduthaalumEven if everything changes or my mind resists,
En Nenjil Nee Thaane Nee ThaaneYou’re the only one in my heart.
Nee Maaya NizhalYou’re an illusionary shadow,
Naan Dhora PagalAnd I’m a distant day.
Andru SerndhirunthomWe were together back then,
Indru Yaaru Nee YaaruBut who are you today?
Nee Maaya NizhalYou’re an illusionary shadow,
Sudum Gyabaga MulA stinging thorn of memory.
Uyir VaazhnthirunthomWe were living our lives together,
Vittu Ponaval YaarBut who’s the one who left me?
Idhu Thaan Kai Naluviya KanavaIs this the dream that slipped through my fingers?
Poi Varam Idhuvaa En Vazhi MudivaaIs this a false blessing or the end of my path?
Uyir Neeengatha Per OosaiyaaIs it a loud cry that won’t leave my soul?
Nee Maaya NizhalYou’re an illusionary shadow,
Naan Dhora PagalAnd I’m a distant day.
Andru SerndhirunthomWe were together back then,
Indru Yaaru Nee YaaruBut who are you today?
Nee Maaya NizhalYou’re an illusionary shadow,
Sudum Gyabaga MulA stinging thorn of memory.
Uyir VaazhnthirunthomWe were living our lives together,
Vittu Ponaval YaarBut who’s the one who left me?
Kannai Vittu Dhooram Sellum Malar VanamaAre you a flower garden moving away from my eyes?
Kuppai Roja Endhan ManamaIs my heart just a discarded rose?
Moochadaikkum Mounam Ini NirandharamaIs this suffocating silence permanent now?
Kaatru Thaeril KalavaramaIs there a riot on the chariot of the wind?
Yaaro Nee Endru PinnumEven after you’ve become a stranger,
Yen Nenjai Pinni SendraaiWhy did you entwine my heart and leave?
Hoo Oo Pul Vanam PogaAs the grasslands fade away,
Pudhu Mazhai PogaAnd the fresh rain disappears,
Aal Illa Theevoram Poo AanenI’ve become a flower on a deserted shore.
Ithu SoozhnilaiyaaIs this just the situation,
Illai Theal ValaiyaaOr a scorpion’s web?
Nammai Neruppinil VeesiyaLook at the power that threw us,
Per Edhu PaarInto the fire.
Idhu Thaan VidhiyaIs this fate,
Iraivan SathiyaOr God’s conspiracy?
Madal Kaaviyam AzhaithidumIs it the river of milk,
Paal NadhiyaThat the epic poems call for?
