Oru Mani Adithal
Deva | Pazhani Bharathi • From “Kaalamellam Kadhal Vaazhga”
Oru Mani Adithal Lyrics Translation Deva | Pazhani Bharathi | Kaalamellam Kadhal Vaazhga
Pazhani Bharathi writes the line, ‘When the bell rings once, my dear, I remember you.’ The poet mentions a sweet bird on a telephone, a blossom that only spreads its scent. He compares the singer’s voice to a fragile wing and turns love into firewood that burns away.
Oru mani adithal kanne un niyabagamWhen the bell rings just once, my dear, I remember you.
Telephone kuyile vendum un tharisanamOh ‘sweet bird’ on the telephone, I need a glimpse of you.
Pothum kanne nee nadathum nadagameEnough of the games you’re playing, my dear.
Thoongum pothum thoongavillai un niyabagameEven while I sleep, my memories of you don’t rest.
Padinal antha padalin swaram nee adiyo ooWhen I sing, you’re the melody of that song, aren’t you?
Thedinal vizhi eeram avathu enadiyo ooWhen I search for you, why do my eyes become damp?
Oru mani adithal kanne un niyabagamWhen the bell rings just once, my dear, I remember you.
Telephone kuyile vendum un tharisanamOh ‘sweet bird’ on the telephone, I need a glimpse of you.
Vasam mattum veesum pooveOh flower that only spreads your scent,
Vandhu konjam katuvayawon’t you come and show yourself for a moment?
Thendral pole engum unnai thedugirenI’m searching for you everywhere like a breeze,
Nan thedugirenI’m searching for you.
Thedi unnai parthu parthuAfter looking and searching for you,
Kangal rendum verthu verthuboth my eyes are strained and weary.
Sinthum vizhi neeril nane muzhgugirenI’m drowning in the tears that I shed,
Nan muzhgugirenI’m drowning.
Veesidum puyal katrileIn the middle of a blowing storm,
Nan otrai siraganenI’ve become like a single, fragile wing.
Kadhalin sudum theeyileIn the burning fire of love,
Nan eriyum viraganenI’ve become the firewood that burns away.
Medai thorum padal thantha vanmathiyeOh moon-like beauty who gave songs to every stage,
Jeevan pogum munbu vanthal nimathiyeif you come before my life ends, I’ll find peace.
Pothum kanne nee nadathum nadagameEnough of the games you’re playing, my dear.
Thoongum pothum thoongavillai un niyabagameEven while I sleep, my memories of you don’t rest.
Oh oru mani adithal kanne un niyabagamOh, when the bell rings just once, my dear, I remember you.
Telephone kuyile vendum un tharisanamOh ‘sweet bird’ on the telephone, I need a glimpse of you.
Unthan mugam partha pinneAfter seeing your face,
Kan izhanthu povathendralif I’m meant to lose my sight,
Kan irandum nan izhapen ippodheI’ll give up both my eyes right now,
Nan ippodheyes, right now.
Unthan mugam parkum munneBefore I even see your face,
Nan marainthu povathendralif I’m meant to fade away,
Kangal mattum appozhuthum moodadheeven then, my eyes won’t shut,
Imai moodadhemy eyelids won’t close.

Kanikai thanthu vittenoffered myself as a gift to you.
Sothanai ini thevaiyaIs any more testing necessary?
Sudum moochinil venthu vittenI’ve been scorched by my own hot breath.
Kadhalenum sabam thantha devathaiyeOh goddess who gave me the curse of love,
Kanalamo ragam indru povathu yencan we see why the melody is fading today?
Pothum kanne nee nadathum nadagameEnough of the games you’re playing, my dear.
Thoongum pothum thoongavillai un niyabagameEven while I sleep, my memories of you don’t rest.
Oru mani adithal kanne un niyabagamWhen the bell rings just once, my dear, I remember you.
Telephone kuyile vendum un tharisanamOh ‘sweet bird’ on the telephone, I need a glimpse of you.
