Samshayam’s Samshayam Lyrics Translation

The questions shift from the universal to the personal. The lyrics ask if God is real, then wonder if a friend is a true companion or a form of shackle. This shows how an idle brain can escalate a small whim into a major discomfort.

Kaalamo Bhoolokamo Ethu PirannadhyamWhich came first, time or the earth?
SamshayamA doubt.
Ee Shankayo Aashankayo Manda PukachaadhyamThis suspicion or this anxiety, which fogged the mind first?
SamshayamA doubt.
Verutheyirikana MasthishkamAn idle brain,
Cherungane Thonnana ThannishtamA little whim that takes hold,
Valuthaai Maariya ViddithamA foolishness that grows so big,
Pala Vidha VimmishttamAll sorts of discomfort.
Jeevithamennoru NettottamLife is one frantic sprint,
Kandaalenthoru ThonnyasamWhat a bizarre show to watch.
Thaalam Thettana VishwasamA faith that has lost its rhythm,
Venam AashwasamI need some peace.
Thaananane ThaanananeThaananane Thaananane
Thaanananana ThaananananeThaanananana Thaanananane
Thaananane ThaanananeThaananane Thaananane
Thaanananana ThaananananeThaanananana Thaanananane
Daivamennathu Nero PoykkathayoIs this thing called God real or just a story?
Ee Changaayiyennathu Chanko ChangalayoIs this friend my heart or just my shackles?
Ullil Varum Pinne UnthithallumIt gets inside you, then it shoves you around,
Pambarampol Paade ChuttiykkumAnd spins you completely like a top.
OOh,
Minnunnathellam PonnalladoAll that glitters isn’t gold, you know.
Pandu Thotte Ketta ChollalleIsn’t that a saying we’ve heard for ages?
Thaananane ThaanananeThaananane Thaananane
Thaanananana ThaananananeThaanananana Thaanananane
Thaananane ThaanananeThaananane Thaananane
Thaanananana ThaananananeThaanananana Thaanananane
