Neeradum
Ranjin Raj • From “Yugi”
Neeradum Lyrics Translation (from “Yugi”)
Kabilan compares tears to raindrops falling on eyes, questioning their persistence. His line ‘Pesidum Udal, Uyir Saagira Varai’ describes a body vocalizing pain until life ends.
Neeradum Mazhaithuli PølaeLike the raindrops bathing the earth,
Yen Indha Vizhigalin Melaewhy do they settle upon these eyes?
Kudai Mel VaanamThe sky rests above the umbrella,
Vizhi Paarthida Neelumextending as far as the gaze can reach.
Karai Mel NeelamThe blue tint on the shore,
Kadal Sernthidavaenumyearns to dissolve into the sea.
Neeradum Mazhaithuli PølaeLike the raindrops bathing the earth,
Yen Indha Vizhigalin Melaewhy do they settle upon these eyes?
Pesidum UdalMy body continues to speak,
Uyir Saagira Varaiuntil the soul finally fades away.
Yen Indha VinaiWhy is this burden my fate?
Nenjil Aayiram KanaiIt feels like a thousand arrows in my heart.
Kangal Serum VaraiUntil the moment our eyes meet,
Kannil Thaangumacan my vision truly endure it?
Unaiyae NinaithenI’ve been thinking only of you.
Dhinamum ThavippenI’m languishing in pain every day.
Kudai Mel VaanamThe sky rests above the umbrella,
Vizhi Paarthida Neelumextending as far as the gaze can reach.
Karai Mel NeelamThe blue tint on the shore,
Kadal Sernthidavaenumyearns to dissolve into the sea.
Neeradum Mazhaithuli PølaeLike the raindrops bathing the earth,
Yen Indha Vizhigalin Melaewhy do they settle upon these eyes?
Neeradum Mazhaithuli PølaeLike the raindrops bathing the earth,
Yen Indha Vizhigalin Melaewhy do they settle upon these eyes?
