Oru Nadiaayi
Pooja Venkatraman | Sachin Shankor Mannath • From “Vellaripattanam”
Oru Nadiaayi Lyrics Translation – Vellaripattanam Soundtrack
Vinayak Sasikumar describes silence as a river dividing two people. The singers mention memories humming like a distant song. They write about unsaid words keeping hearts apart.
Oru Nadhiyayi Mounam IrukaralaayiSilence flows like a river between two shores,
Oro Novin NimishavumivideyEvery moment of pain lingers right here.
Theera Thaazham Kanalugal ChoriyeEndless deep embers of sorrow shower down,
Aararo PaadunnuvoooSomeone’s singing a distant song.
Veezhunnu Maayunnu KaadhilIt falls and fades away in my ears,
Naamonnu Moolunnu RaaAnd we’re humming along to that melody,
Thaarattu Pattenna PoleyJust like a soft lullaby.
Ohhh Ohhh OhhohoOhhh Ohhh Ohhoho
Ohhh Ohh OhhohooOhhh Ohh Ohhohoo
Karalil Ezhuthiyathanu NjanithennI’ve written this deep within my heart,
Uyiriley MurivukalellamAll the wounds that scar my soul.
Palavooru Karuthiyathanu CholluvanI’ve thought of saying it many times,
Nidariya MozhigaliloodeyThrough words I could never quite find.
Ohhh Ohhh OhhohoOhhh Ohhh Ohhoho
Ohhh Ohh OhhohooOhhh Ohh Ohhohoo
Ohhh Ohhh OhhohoOhhh Ohhh Ohhoho
Ohhh Ohh OhhohooOhhh Ohh Ohhohoo
Ethra Dhooramaayalum Thedidunnu NjaneareNo matter the distance, I’m searching for you,
Ninneyen NenjaleDeep within my heart.
Ormagal KinavumayiMemories blend with dreams,
Kathuvachora Baalyam Mohangal TheeratheyA childhood I’ve kept safe, with endless desires.
Pakalugalorupidi PoyaalumEven if a handful of days slip away,
Pathivugal ThudaruminiThese patterns will continue on.
Chirimalaroru NjodimaanjalumEven if the flower of a smile fades for a moment,
Porum PookkalamA season of blossoms will return.
Mounam Polum PaathiEven silence feels half-finished,
Moolunna NeragalilIn the moments when we hum.
Aaararo PaadunnuvoSomeone’s singing a distant song.
Veezhunnu Maayunnu KadhilIt falls and fades away in my ears,
Naamonnu Moolunnu RaaAnd we’re humming along to that melody,
Thaarattu Pattenna PoleyJust like a soft lullaby.
Ohhh Ohhh OhhohoOhhh Ohhh Ohhoho
Ohhh Ohh OhhohooOhhh Ohh Ohhohoo
Ohhh Ohhh OhhohoOhhh Ohhh Ohhoho
Ohhh Ohh OhhohooOhhh Ohh Ohhohoo
