Phoenix’s Pokoo Nee Rave Lyrics Translation

The lyrics compare a person’s life to a fragile flame flickering inside a helpless bird’s nest. A core question appears later, asking if the new dawn will only bring another form of internal darkness. This moment points to a loss of faith in the promise of a new day.

Pokoo Nee Raave Pokoo Nee RaaveGo now, oh night, go now, oh night
Kankaana Pemaari Thoraathe PeyyeThis endless, unseen torrent falls without a pause
Thaarangal Kanmoodi Maayunno DooreThe stars close their eyes and fade far away
Praananaalam KaattilaadumThe flame of life flickers in the wind
Paavamaam Pakshithan KunjukoodilIn the small nest of a helpless bird
Vennilaavo VannathillaThe moonlight has not come
Paathiraakkoorirul OnnumaathramOnly the deepest midnight darkness remains
Ulshwaasam Poraathe Nenchaake Vallaathe NeerumpolWhen each breath falls short and my chest aches with strain
Vinvaazhum Swapnangal Mannodu MannaayitheerumpolWhen dreams that lived in the sky turn to dust on the ground
Ini Varum Pulariyo Ulraavaay PokayoWill the coming dawn just become an inner night?
Aarumillathe Nee Mizhikal Poottu IravurangWith no one left, close your eyes and sleep through the night
Novu Theerum NimishamaayAs the moment when the pain will end
Aa AaAh, ah
Theerame Theerame Vida Tharoo Vida TharooOh shore, oh shore, bid me farewell, bid me farewell
Thirakale Thirakale Vida Tharoo Vida TharooOh waves, oh waves, bid me farewell, bid me farewell
Theerame Theerame Vida Tharoo Vida TharooOh shore, oh shore, bid me farewell, bid me farewell
Thirakale Thirakale Vida Tharoo Vida TharooOh waves, oh waves, bid me farewell, bid me farewell
Vida Tharoo Vida Tharoo AaBid me farewell, bid me farewell, ah
Vida Tharoo Vida Tharoo AaBid me farewell, bid me farewell, ah

The song moves from commanding the night away to a final, somber request. The repeated lines asking the shore and waves for farewell mark a shift in focus. This creates the feeling of a person seeking permission to depart from the world and its pain.
