“Oru Naalil Lyrics Meaning,” AKA “Porkalathil Piranthu Vitom,” a Tamil composition by Yuvan Shankar Raja from the film “Pudhupettai,” is a philosophical contemplation on the fleeting nature of life and its challenges. The lyrics’ title, which translates to “In a Day,” refers to the concept that life’s troubles are fleeting and ever-changing. Na. Muthukumar’s words express a feeling of stoic resilience, implying that both joy and sadness are ephemeral. Yuvan Shankar Raja’s composition complements this theme by producing a soundscape that is both introspective and ultimately optimistic. This song, featuring Dhanush, is from the Selvaraghavan-directed film.

Pudhupettai Movie’s Oru Naalil Lyrics Meaning (in English) | Porkalathil Piranthu Vitom
Oru Nalil Vazhkkai Inge, Engum Odi Pogathu,
No life is ruined in a day
Maru Nalum Vanthu Vittal, Thunbam Theiyum Thodarathu,
there’s a tomorrow to solve whatever’s at bay
Eththanai Kodi Kanneer, Mann Meedhu Vizhunthirukkum,
the world has seen many a tear
Aththanai Kanda Pinnum, Boomi Ingu Poo Pookkum,
and despite it all, it still blooms a flower!
Ho Ho Ho, Karu Vasal Vittu Vantha Nal Thottu,
Oh! Since the day we are born
Ho Ho Ho, Oru Vasal Thediye Vilaiyattu,
Oh! Life’s a journey of seeking a new door
Ho Ho Ho, Kann Thiranthu Parthal Pala Koothu,
Oh! Open your eyes to the many plays of life
Ho Ho Ho Oh, Kanmudi Kondal,
Oh! If you close your eyes.
Por Kalathil Piranthu Vittom Vаnthavаi Ponavai Varuthаm Illai,
We’re born amidst war, don’t fret about what comes and goes
Katinile Vazhkindrom Mutkalin Vali Ondrum Maranam Illai,
when home is a forest, a prick of a thorn is just a test
Iruttinile Nee Nadakkaiyile,
When you walk in the dark,
Un Nizhalum Unnai Vittu Vilagividum,
even your shadow abandons you!
Nee Mattum Than Intha Ulagathile,
You are your only ally!
Unakku Thunai Endru Vilangividum,
Do you see that now?
Theeyoda Pogum Varaiyil, Theerathu Intha Thanimai,
Until we burn in the pyre, this loneliness doesn’t part from us
Karai Varum Neram Parthu, Kappalil Kathiruppom,
waiting for the shore, we stand on the ship’s deck
Erimalai Vanthal Kooda, Yeri Nindru Por Thoduppom,
but if faced with a volcano, we will stand tall and fight it too!
Ho Ho Ho, Andha Theiva Ragasiyam Purigirathe,
Oh! Now we understand life’s mystery
Ho Ho Ho, Ingu Ethuvum Nilai Illai Karaigirathe,
Oh! Nothing’s permanent, there’s no history
Ho Ho Ho, Manam Vetta Veliyile Alaigirathe,
Oh! The heart’s in space, seeking more
Ho Ho Ho, Antha Kadavulai Kandal,
Oh! If it finds god.
Athu Unakku Ithu Enakku, Idhayangal Podum Thani Kanakku,
That’s yours, and this is mine. Hearts make their calculations
Aval Enakku Ival Unakku, Udalgalum Podum Puthir Kanakku,
she’s yours, she’s mine bodies make their plans, too
Unakkum Illai Ithu Enakkum Illai, Padaithavane Ingu Eduthu Kolvan,
Neither yours nor mine, lord the giver, takes it all
Nallavan Yar Ada Kettavan Yar, Kadaisiyil Avane Mudivu Seivan,
who’s a saint, a crook, in the end, he decides it all!
Pаzhi Podum Ulаgam Inge Baliyana Uyirgal Enge,
The world’s unfair… Where are its poor victims?
Ulagathin Oram Nindru Aththanaiyum Parthiruppom,
Let’s stand aside and watch the show.
Nadappavai Nadagam Endru Namum Sernthu Nadithiruppom,
It’s all a play anyway, so let’s take part too!
Ho Ho Ho, Pala Muganggal Vendum, Sari Mattikolvom,
Oh! There are masks aplenty, let’s wear them all!
Ho Ho Ho, Pala Thiruppam Theriyum, Athil Thirumbi Kolvom,
Oh! There are twists aplenty, let’s take them all
Ho Ho Ho, Kathai Mudiyum Pokkil Athai, Mudithu Kolvom,
Oh! When life ends, we’ll end it all
Ho Ho Ho, Maru Piravi Venduma,
Oh! And when you want to live again.
