Siragugal Vanthathu
Javed Ali | Madhu Shree • From “Sarvam”
What is the meaning of Siragugal Vanthathu Lyrics from Sarvam?
Pa.Vijay structures contradictions like ‘wings have sprouted to fly’ against ‘nights have faded from my eyes.’ The lines ‘world becomes a dot’ contrast expanding emotions with shrinking physical reality.
Siragugal Vanthathu Yengo SellaWings have sprouted to fly off somewhere.
Iravugal Theernthathu Kannil MellaNights have slowly faded from my eyes.
Ninaivugal Yenguthu Unnai KaanavaeMemories are yearning just to see you.
Kanavugal Ponguthu Yethilae AllaDreams are overflowing; what’ll I use to scoop them?
Valigalum Serndhathu Ullae KillaPains have also joined in to pinch me from within.
Sugangalum Kooduthu Unnai ThediyaePleasures are also growing as I search for you.
Unnai Unnai Thaandi SellaTo move past you.
Konja Kaalam Konja ThooramFor a little time or a short distance.
Konja Neram Kooda Yennal AagumoCan I even manage for a brief moment?
Unnai Unnai Thedi ThaanaeSearching for you and only you.
Intha Yekam Intha Paathai InthaThis longing, this path, and this,
Payanam Intha Vazhkai AanathoJourney; has this become my life?
Kanavugal Ponguthu Yethilae AllaDreams are overflowing; what’ll I use to scoop them?
Valigalum Serndhathu Ullae KillaPains have also joined in to pinch me from within.
Sugangalum Kooduthu Unnai ThediyaePleasures are also growing as I search for you.
Oh Nadhiyae Nee Enghae EndruOh river, asking where you are.
Karaigal Theda KoodaathaCan’t the riverbanks search for you?
Nilavae Nee Enghae EndruOh moon, asking where you are.
Mugilgal Theda KoodaathaaCan’t the clouds search for you?
Oh Mazhai Iravinil Kuyilin GeethamIn a rainy night, the ‘koel’ bird’s melody.
Thudipathai Yaar ArivaarWho knows how it’s trembling?
Kadal Madiyinil KidakkumLying in the lap of the ocean,
Palarin Kanavugal Ivar ArivarHe knows the dreams of so many people.
Azhage Nee YengirukiraaiMy beauty, where are you?
Valithaal Anbae Nee AngirukiraaiWhen it hurts, my love, you’re right there.
Uyirae Nee Enna SeigiraaiMy life, what are you doing?
Uyirin Ullae Vanthu SelgiraaiYou’re coming and going within my soul.
Anbae Enthan Nenjam EnghaeMy love, where’s my heart?
Poovin Ullae Nilavin MelaeInside the flower, or above the moon.
Theeyin KeezhaeBeneath the fire,
Kattrin Veliyae IllaiyaeIt’s not in the open breeze.
Unthan Kannil Unthan MoochilIt’s in your eyes and in your breath.
Unthan Iravil Unthan NenjilIn your nights and in your heart.
Unthan Kaiyil Unthan Uyiril UllathaeIt’s in your hands and within your life.
Enakke Naan Sumaiyaai MaariI’ve turned into a burden for myself.
Yennai Sumanthu VanthenaeAnd I’ve come along, carrying myself.
Unakke Naan Nizhalaai MaariI’ve turned into a shadow for you.
Unnai Thedi VanthenaeAnd I’ve come searching for you.
Vizhi Nanainthidum Neram PaarthuSeeing the moments when my eyes get wet.
Imai Vizhagi VidaathuMy eyelids won’t move away.
Uyir Thudithidum Unnai YenthanFor you, my life is throbbing.
Uyir Othukki VidaathuAnd my soul won’t push you away.
Ulagam Oru Pulli AagutheyThe world’s becoming a single dot.
Nenjam Yengo Mithanthu PogutheyMy heart’s floating away somewhere.
Uyiril Oru Poo VedikkutheyA flower’s exploding in my soul.
Sughamo Vazhiyo Ellai MeerutheyWhether joy or pain, it’s crossing all limits.
Siragugal Vanthathu Yengo SellaWings have sprouted to fly off somewhere.
Iravugal Theernthathu Kannil MellaNights have slowly faded from my eyes.
Ninaivugal Yenguthu Unnai KaanavaeMemories are yearning just to see you.
Oru Imai Engilum Thaenil MoozhghaWhile one eyelid’s drowning in honey.
Oru Imaii Mathiram Valiyil NoghaaThe other eyelid alone is aching in pain.
Idaiyinil Eppadi Kanavum KanumooIn between the two, how’ll I ever dream?
Unnai Unnai Thaandi SellaTo move past you.
Konja Kaalam Konja ThooramFor a little time or a short distance.
Konja Neram Kooda Yennal AagumoCan I even manage for a brief moment?
Unnai Unnai Thedi ThaanaeSearching for you and only you.
Intha Yekam Intha Paathai InthaThis longing, this path, and this,
Payanam Intha Vazhkai AanathoJourney; has this become my life?
