Neeladho Lyrics Translation Arrol Corelli | Madhu Iyer | Kalaga Thalaivan
Priyan contrasts choice and surrender with ‘Vizhiyin Araiyileho’—entering the eyes’ chamber willingly. Madhu Iyer sings ‘Urugum Nodiyile,’ freezing while melting in the moment.
Neeladho Innum NeeladhoWon’t it stretch out, won’t it stretch even further?
Nee Ennum KaranamYou’re the reason for all of this.
Thalamal Ingu Nan YengaI’m yearning here, unable to bear it any longer.
Nee Thane KaranamYou’re the only reason for this.
Vizhiyin AraiyilehoWithin the chambers of your eyes,
Virumbi NuzhaigirenI’m entering by my own choice.
Vazhigal TherinthumeehoEven though I know the way back out,
Thirumba MarukkirenI’m refusing to return.
Neeladho Innum NeeladhoWon’t it stretch out, won’t it stretch even further?
Ennai Nee Thangum Nazhigai ThanoIs this the moment you’re holding onto me?
Urugum NodiyileIn the very moment I’m melting away,
Nan Uraindhu KidakkirenI lie here completely frozen.
Neevum ImaigalYour eyelids brush against me,
Uyirin Kadhavai KeerumAnd they’re scratching at my soul’s door.
Thazhai ThirakkumAs the latch finally opens,
Pathattram ParavasamI feel a mix of panic and pure ecstasy.
Merum TharunamIn this rising moment,
Anaigal Udaikka KoodumMy self-control’s dams might just burst.
Meela Enakkum Illai AnubavamI’ve got no experience in finding my way back.
Pookkumo VervaraiWill this bloom all the way down to the roots?
Podhumo Padhi Ezhuthiya KavithaiIs a half-written poem ever going to be enough?
Nee En ArugilWhen you’re right here by my side,
Nerungi Pagirum NeramAnd we’re sharing this moment so closely,
Idaiyil NigazhumEverything that’s happening between us,
Edhuvum Un VasamIt’s all entirely in your hands.
