Shreya Ghoshal’s voice carries the weight of coastal solitude in ‘Para Para Sad’ from the album ‘Neer Paravai.’ Lyricist Vairamuthu and composer N.R. Raghunanthan frame a desolate shore where waves echo unanswered calls.

Para Para Sad Lyrics Meaning Shreya Ghoshal (Early Release: Chinmayi Sripada) | Neer Paravai
Vairamuthu contrasts nets holding water with water escaping nets, questioning survival after sending one’s soul with a distant lover. Ghoshal’s delivery sharpens the paradox of enduring without life’s essence.
Para Para Paravai OndruA fluttering bird, all alone
Kara Kara Karaiyil NindruStanding on the rugged shore
Kanneeril Kadal Alai NinaikutheFills the sea waves with its tears
En Devan Pona DhisayileIn the path my beloved went
Jeevan Serthu AnupinenI sent my very soul along
En Jeevan Vandhu SerumaWill my life return to me?
Dhegam Meendum VazhumaWill this body live again?
Para Para Paravai OndruA fluttering bird, all alone
Kara Kara Karaiyil NindruStanding on the rugged shore
Kanneeril Kadal Alai NinaikutheFills the sea waves with its tears
Thanneeril Valayum NirkumA net might hold inside water
Thanneera Valayil NirkumBut can a net hold water back?
En Devan Eppodhum ThirigiraanMy beloved wanders endlessly
Para Para Paravai OndruA fluttering bird, all alone
Kara Kara Karaiyil NindruStanding on the rugged shore
Kanneeril Kadal Alai NinaikutheFills the sea waves with its tears
Oorengum Mazhayum IllaiNo rain falls anywhere in town
Verungum Puyalum IllaiNo storm rages anywhere near
Endralum Nenjil Idi IdikutheYet thunder crashes in my heart
Para Para Paravai OndruA fluttering bird, all alone
Kara Kara Karaiyil NindruStanding on the rugged shore
Kanneeril Kadal Alai NinaikutheFills the sea waves with its tears
En Devan Pona DhisayileIn the path my beloved went
Jeevan Serthu AnupinenI sent my very soul along
En Jeevan Vandhu SerumaWill my life return to me?
Dhegam Meendum VazhumaWill this body live again?
Para Para Paravai OndruA fluttering bird, all alone
Kara Kara Karaiyil NindruStanding on the rugged shore
Kanneeril Kadal Alai NinaikutheFills the sea waves with its tears
