Ore Pakal Lyrics Meaning Zonobia Safar | Drishyam
Zonobia Safar questions whether silences become burdens in the translated lyrics. Her words describe identical suns and shadows across days. The repetition of ‘stretching on and on’ mirrors the film’s unresolved tension.
Ore Pakal Ore IrulIt’s the same day, the same darkness.
Athe Veyil Athe NizhalIt’s the same sun, the same shadow.
Etho Kaalam Doore ThedunnuSome era’s searching in the distance.
Theeraathee Janmam Neelunnu NeelunnuThis life’s stretching on and on, never ending.
Yaamangalil Raappaadikal MoolunnuvoAre the night-birds humming through the ‘watches of the night’?
Raavormmakal Thenmaariyaay ThorunnuvoAre night’s memories raining down like honey?
Mounangalum Bhaarangalaay TheerunnuvoAre even the silences turning into burdens?
Varum Kaalam Doore ThedunnuThe coming time’s searching in the distance.
Theeraathee Janmam Neelunnu NeelunnuThis life’s stretching on and on, never ending.
Ee Yaathrayil Kaalppaadukal MaanjeedumoWill the footprints fade away on this journey?
Swapnangalaam Aazhangalil ThaazhnneedumoWill I sink into the depths of my dreams?
Veshangalil Kolangalaay MaareedumoWill I turn into ‘mere caricatures’ within these roles?
Varum Kaalam Doore ThedunnuThe coming time’s searching in the distance.
Theeraathee Janmam NeelunnuThis life’s stretching on,
Neelunnu Neelunnustretching on and on.
