Praavu’s Oru Kattu Pathayil Lyrics Translation
The song describes a journey where unspoken feelings grow. One line notes how a connection is woven through small glances, while another shows the mind flowing like a river with ripples. The meaning of the ‘Oru Kattu Pathayil’ lyrics is about this quiet, internal stirring.
Oru Kaattu Pathayil Ithalayi MaariyoOn a path of wind, have I become a petal?
Ilakal Pozhinjoree Churameri YathrayayiThis journey climbs a mountain pass of fallen leaves
Nimisham Oronnilum AriyunnuvoIn every passing moment, do you feel it?
Ariyaadoorangale ThirayunnuvoAre you searching for unknown horizons?
Aakaasham Pole Theliyum MizhiEyes as clear as the sky
Aavolam Kaanum Uyirin VazhiThat see the path of life so deeply
OzhukukayayiFlowing onward
Aadyamaadyam Chiri Padarum KauthukangalAt first, little wonders spread like a smile
Pathiye Naruveyilupole ThoovidumGently, they sprinkle down like soft sunlight
Ariyaathora ThonnalayiAs a feeling yet unknown
Padarum AkameIt spreads deep inside
Athilitha SwayamaliyaveAnd in it, I slowly dissolve
Alakal Njoriyum Nadhiyayi ManamozhukumMy heart flows like a river of rippling waves
Oru Kaattu Pathayil Ithalayi MaariyoOn a path of wind, have I become a petal?
Ilakal Pozhinjoree Churameri YathrayayiThis journey climbs a mountain pass of fallen leaves
Aa AaAh… ah…
Nooluneythu Cheriya Chila NokkiludeWeaving a thread with just a few small glances
Mozhi Palathum Minduvan VembiyoDid we yearn to speak so many words?
Aruthennathum CholliyoDid we speak even of things we shouldn’t?
Patharaathariye Iruvarum Yathra ThudaraveAs we journeyed on, steady and unaware
Mounasangeetham Kelppoo PularmazhayayiWe hear a silent song, like the morning rain
Oru Kaattu Pathayil Ithalayi MaariyoOn a path of wind, have I become a petal?
Ilakal Pozhinjoree Churameri YathrayayiThis journey climbs a mountain pass of fallen leaves
Nimisham Oronnilum AriyunnuvoIn every passing moment, do you feel it?
Ariyaadoorangale ThirayunnuvoAre you searching for unknown horizons?
Aakaasham Pole Theliyum MizhiEyes as clear as the sky
Aavolam Kaanum Uyirin VazhiThat see the path of life so deeply
OzhukukayayiFlowing onward
