Oororam Kadu Lyrics Translation (from “Rooban”)
Kamalamanogaran calls the forest ‘Thaai Veedu’ (mother’s home). He notes clouds becoming rain and peacock feathers forming umbrellas. These lyrics show nature’s interconnected systems.
Oororam Kadu OorurangathuThe forest at the edge of town never sleeps.
Oororam Kadu OorurangathuThe forest at the edge of town never sleeps.
Nee Illamal Ponaal Pala Uyirgal IngethuIf you vanished, where would all these living beings go?
Kaadana Kadu En Thaai VeeduThis wild forest is my mother’s home.
Thaayanadhu Inge PoongaaduThis flowering forest has become our mother here.
Kaadana Kadu En Thaai VeeduThis wild forest is my mother’s home.
Thaayanadhu Inge PoongaaduThis flowering forest has become our mother here.
Oororam Kadu OorurangathuThe forest at the edge of town never sleeps.
Nee Illamal Ponaal Pala Uyirgal IngethuIf you vanished, where would all these living beings go?
Alagaana Vandu SathamThe beautiful buzzing sound of the beetles.
Iravellam KetkuthuIt echoes through the night.
Pagalaana Paatu SathamWhen day breaks, the sound of music fills the air.
Kuyil Koovi PaaduthuAs the Cuckoo bird sings its melody.
Megamellam MazhaiyagutheAll the gathering clouds turn into rain.
Mayil Thogai Ellam KudaiyagutheThe peacock’s feathers spread out like an umbrella.
Un Perai Sollum PotheJust saying your name aloud.
Vaasam KoodutheMakes the fragrance in the air grow stronger.
Un Kaatil Vaazhum PotheWhen living within your woods.
Pudhu Nesam KoodutheA new sense of love begins to grow.
Oororam Kadu OorurangathuThe forest at the edge of town never sleeps.
Nee Illamal Ponaal Pala Uyirgal IngethuIf you vanished, where would all these living beings go?
