Oru Manam
Harris Jayaraj | Karthik • From “Dhruva Natchathiram”
What is the meaning of Oru Manam Lyrics from Dhruva Natchathiram?
Karthik and Shashaa Tirupati sing of one heart asking to stay and another pushing away. They question which to listen to as hesitation hits. To see their love daily, they seek to reclaim a stolen heart.
Oru Manam Nirkka SollutheOne heart tells me to stay,
Oru Manam Etti Thallutheanother pushes me away.
Yedhai Nanum KetpadhuWhich one do I listen to,
Thadumatram Thakudhuas this hesitation hits me.
Dhinarasri Unnai ParkaveTo see you every day,
Thirudiya Nenjai Meetkaveto reclaim my stolen heart.
Un Veettai ThedavaShould I come looking for your home,
Urangamal Theiyavaand waste away without any sleep?
Nee Vandha SoppanamThe dream you appeared in,
Ninaivil Narthanamdances in my memory.
En Anbe Ayiram Dhinam VarumMy love, a thousand days will come,
Idhu Dhan Mudhal Kanambut this is our very first moment.
Oru Manam Nirkka SollutheOne heart tells me to stay,
Oru Manam Etti Thallutheanother pushes me away.
Yedhai Nanum KetpadhuWhich one do I listen to,
Thadumatram Thakudhuas this hesitation hits me.
Innum Enna IdaiveliWhy is there still this distance,
Dhooram Maruthalilet’s push it all away.
Pakkam Vandhal AnumadhiIf I come closer, just give me your leave,
Podhum Arai Nodihalf a second is all I’ll need.
Ennai Unnai PirithidumThis thing that separates you and I,
Katril Kadhakaliis a ‘kathakali’ dance in the wind.
Mele Nindru SirithidumLaughing at us from above,
Manjal Nilavozhiis the golden moonlight.
Haa Thee Moottum VanathaiHaa, this fire-starting sky,
Thitta PogirenI’m going to give it a piece of my mind.
Mazhai Vandhum KaivathalEven when the rain fell within my reach,
Mutham ThedinenI was still searching for a kiss.
Oru Puram Nanam KillutheOn one side, shyness pinches me,
Marupuram Asai Thallutheon the other, desire is pushing me.
Enai Nanum KetpadhuI keep asking myself,
Thadumatram Thakuthuas this hesitation takes its hold.
Dhinarasri Unnai ParkaveTo see you every day,
Thirudiya Nenjai Meetkaveto win back my stolen heart,
En Veettai Thedi Vacome looking for my home,
Urangamal Theiyavaand let me waste away without sleep.
Vanam PeiyakadavadhuThe sky shouldn’t rain,
Eeram Iniyadhuthis dampness is just too sweet.
Muththam Kondu ThulaippadhuTo pierce you with a kiss,
Innum Eliyadhuis even easier now.
Ulle Thoongum Anal IdhuThis fire sleeping inside me,
Urakkam Kalaiyudhuis waking from its slumber.
Eththanai Natkal PoruppadhuHow many more days can it endure this,
Yengi Thavikkudhuit’s yearning and suffering.
Hoo Nan Indru Nan IllaiHoo, today I’m not myself,
Nanal AgirenI’m becoming a reed.
Nadhi Pole Nee SendralIf you flow like a river,
Nanum ValaigirenI’ll bend right along with you.
Oru Manam Nirkka SollutheOne heart tells me to stay,
Oru Manam Etti Thallutheanother pushes me away.
Yedhai Nanum KetpadhuWhich one do I listen to,
Thadumatram Thakudhuas this hesitation hits me.
Dhinarasri Unnai ParkaveTo see you every day,
Thirudiya Nenjai Meetkaveto win back my stolen heart,
En Veettai Thedi Vacome looking for my home,
Urangamal Theiyavaand let me waste away without sleep.
Nee Vandha SoppanamThe dream you appeared in,
Ninaivil Narthanamdances in my memory.
En Anbe Ayiram Dhinam VarumMy love, a thousand days will come,
Idhu Dhan Mudhal Kanambut this is our very first moment.
