Kadhir Mozhi contrasts surplus sand with foundational sand to show emotional transformation. Rakshita Suresh sings of imperfections accepted, comparing love to the moon’s unbroken light despite surface marks.
Otha Kannula Thoosiya PolaLike a speck of dust in a single eye.
Rendu Kannulaiyum KuththuraiyaeYou’re irritating the vision in both.
Kallu Erinja Kolaththu ThanniyaaLike the water in a pond struck by a stone,
Enna Kalanga Nee VaikkuraiyaeYou’ve left me completely disturbed.
Kaththi Munaiyilae Naththaiyaa NimishamLike a snail moving on a knife’s edge,
Nagarnthu Nagarntha PoguthungaEvery minute crawls past so slowly.
Kannu Kuzhiyila Vizhuntha ThanneerThe tears that pooled in the hollows of my eyes
Samuththiramaa MaaruthungaAre turning into a vast ocean.
Yuththamaa Raththamaa Nithamaa VenaaIs this war? Is it blood? We don’t need this daily.
Moththamaa Naan Thaaraen Kann MuzhidaaI’ll give you my everything, just open your eyes.
Kannaadi Thottikkul Meenaaga VaazhnthaFor someone who lived like a fish in a glass bowl,
Kadala Kaatturaen EnthiridaaI’m showing you the sea, so rise up now.
Vedha Manalaa Iruntha ManamMy heart was once like useless surplus sand,
Potha Manalaa IzhukkuthadaaBut you’re gathering it like essential foundation sand.
Vedha Manalaa Iruntha ManamMy heart was once like useless surplus sand,
Potha Manalaa IzhukkuthadaaBut you’re gathering it like essential foundation sand.
Vaanaththa Urasum PattathukkuFor the kite that brushes against the sky,
Tharaiyila Oru Pidi UnduThere’s still a grip holding it to the ground.
Kallaththanam SeiyumWhile playing your little tricks,
Unnil Naanum Kollai PonaI was completely stolen by you,
Nodi KandukittaenAnd I recognized that very moment.
Vaarthaigal Ellaam Thaandi UllaBeyond where all words end,
Mounaththil Oru Paashai UnduThere is a language within the silence.
Kallippoo Kalladi ThaangikittuLike a cactus flower enduring a hit from a stone,
Kaayaththil Sirikkum KatrukkolluLearn to smile even through the wound.
Sila Neram EnakkagaSometimes, live for me.
Pala Neram UnakkagaMany times, live for yourself.
Inimelum Namakkaaga VaazhnthidanumBut from now on, we must live for us.
Veyilodum MazhaiyodumThrough the scorching sun and the rain,
Paniyodum KulirodumThrough the mist and the cold,
Nizhalaaga Enkooda VanthidanumYou must walk with me like a shadow.
Vazhipariyaa VizhipariyaaIs this highway robbery? Or a theft of my sight?
Theriyala Onnum PiriyalayaeI don’t know, and nothing makes sense.
Kadavulthaan KandathumillaI haven’t ever seen God,
KandukondaenBut I’ve found Him now,
Naan KadhalukkullaInside this love.
KadhalukkullaeDeep inside this love.
Kaayaththa Kothum KaakkaiyenaLike a crow that pecks at a sore,
Kaalangal Ennai ThoraththuthaeTime was chasing after me.
Theevaaga Enna Nee Soozhntha PinnaeBut after you surrounded me like a sanctuary,
Aaraatha Kaayangal AariduthaeEven unhealed wounds are fading away.
Eththanai Thunbangal VanthathunduI’ve faced so many sorrows before,
Thaayinmadi Theda ThonalaiyaeBut I never thought to seek a mother’s lap.
Intha Nodi Neeyum ThaayumadiIn this moment, you are my mother too.
Paththu Viral Enthan Thoppul KodiYour ten fingers are my umbilical cord.
Kalankaththa SumanthaalumEven though it carries dark stains,
Oli Veesa MarukkaathaIt never refuses to shine its light.
Nilavaaga En Vaazhvil VanthaayadiYou’ve come into my life like that moon.
Eravaana ElipolaLike a rat caught as prey,
Enakkulla NeeyodiYou’ve run deep inside me,
En Thookkam Ippothu KalaiththaayadiAnd now you’ve disturbed my sleep.
Thanni Vandiyaa IrunthavanaI was like a wandering water tanker,
Thallivida Nee NinaikkalaiyaeBut you didn’t think to push me away.
Tharikettuthaan ThirinjavanaI used to roam without direction,
Onakkullathaan KaraikiraiyaeBut now you’re dissolving me into you.
Otha Kannula Thoosiya PolaLike a speck of dust in a single eye.
Rendu Kannulaiyum KuththuraiyaeYou’re irritating the vision in both.
Kallu Erinja Kolaththu ThanniyaaLike the water in a pond struck by a stone,
Enna Kalanga Nee VaikkuraiyaeYou’ve left me completely disturbed.
