Captain’s Ninaivugal Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Madhan Karky compares escaping memories to teardrops falling despite closed eyelids. His Tamil lines state fading experiences aren’t controlled by human effort. The composition reinforces this through fluctuating vocal textures mirroring memory’s instability.
Ninaivugal Pon NinaivugalMemories, golden memories.
Ninaivugal Pon NinaivugalMemories, golden memories.
Adutha Adutha Nodi EnnendruWhat’s in the very next moment,
Adhai Ariya Thudikkum VizhiyeIs what these eyes are eager to know.
Mudintha Mudintha Nodi PonnendruThe moment that’s just passed is golden,
Adhai Ninaivil Padhikkum VizhiyeAnd these eyes etch it into memory.
Puthiyena PoothidumbothellameEverything that blooms anew,
Pazhaiyena Neengidum ThannaleWill naturally fade into the old.
Idhu Varai Vazhntha Un VazhvellameThe entire life you’ve lived until now,
Nodi Pole Kannin MunnaleFlashes before your eyes like a single moment.
Ninaivugal Pon NinaivugalMemories, golden memories.
Vizhiyile Un VizhiyileIn your eyes, in your eyes.
Ninaivugal Pon NinaivugalMemories, golden memories.
Vazhiyile Un VazhiyileOn your path, on your path.
Vidiyal Vidiyal Enum KolaleWith the resounding call of a new dawn,
Dhinam Vizhiyai Thirakkum UlagamThe world opens its eyes each day.
Thunivai Anindhu Athil PonaleIf you wear your courage and step into it,
Kadum Paniyil Thirayum VilagumEven the harshest mist will part its veil.
Ninaivugal Pon NinaivugalMemories, golden memories.
Vazhiyile Un VazhiyileOn your path, on your path.
Mudhal Mudhal NinaivedhuWhat’s the very first memory?
Irudhiyin NinaivedhuWhat’s the final memory?
Rendum Endum IllaiNeither one truly exists,
Rendum Thevai IllaiAnd neither one is needed.
Naduvinil VaruvadhumWhat comes in between,
Nilaippadhum Marappadhumwhat stays, and what’s forgotten,
Undhan Kaiyil IllaiIsn’t in your hands.
Muyalvadhum ThollaiEven trying is a burden.
Neerodaiyil Pidikkira MeenagaLike a fish you catch in a stream,
Un Kaiyile OndruThere’s one in your hand.
Kaiyai Vittu Nazhuvidum MeenagaLike a fish that slips from your grasp,
Veenanadho OndruAnother one is lost in vain.
Mudindhum Nee ThodarndhidaFor you to continue on, even after it’s over,
Oru VazhiyeThere’s only one way.
Piraradhu NinaivugalaiIt’s to be born from memories.
Ninaivugal Pon NinaivugalMemories, golden memories.
Vizhiyile Un VizhiyileIn your eyes, in your eyes.
Nigazhum NigazhumIt happens, it happens.
Indha Nal OndrilOn a day just like this,
Oru Ninaivu Ninaivu MalarumA memory, a memory will bloom.
Nilavu Nilavu Ena Theindhe DhanAnd just like the waning moon,
Sila Ninaivu Ninaivu UdhirumSome memories, some memories will fade.
Pudhayalile Vizhum Vairam PoleLike a diamond that falls into a treasure trove,
Manadhinile Vizhum Or NinavuOne memory falls into the mind.
Imai Thaduthum Vizhum Kanneer PoleLike a teardrop that falls despite the eyelid’s barrier,
Veliyerum Maru NinaivuAnother memory escapes.
Ninaivugal Pon NinaivugalMemories, golden memories.
Vizhiyile Un VizhiyileIn your eyes, in your eyes.
Ninaivugal Pon NinaivugalMemories, golden memories.
D. Imman’s arrangement supports Karky’s lyrics translation about accepting memory’s transient quality. ‘Ninaivugal’ positions life as a continuous flow where past moments shape identity without consent. Listeners seeking Tamil lyrics in English find clear parallels between sound and theme.
