Sollathan Ninaikkiren 2
K. Jamunarani | P. Susheela • From “Engal Selvi”
What is the meaning of Sollathan Ninaikkiren 2 Lyrics from Engal Selvi?
Kannadasan repeats ‘I long to speak my mind, but I just can’t’ to frame internal struggle. The lyrics question society’s values by asking ‘Where is the righteousness that showed the chastity of virgins?’
Sollaththaan Ninaikkiraen MudiyavillaiI long to speak my mind, but I just can’t
Sollaththaan Ninaikkiraen MudiyavillaiI long to speak my mind, but I just can’t
Adhai Sonnaalum Ketpavarukku PuriyavillaiEven if I say it, the listener won’t understand
Adhai Sonnaalum Ketpavarukku PuriyavillaiEven if I say it, the listener won’t understand
Sollaththaan Ninaikkiraen MudiyavillaiI long to speak my mind, but I just can’t
Adhai Sonnaalum Ketpavarukku PuriyavillaiEven if I say it, the listener won’t understand
Sollaththaan Ninaikkiraen MudiyavillaiI long to speak my mind, but I just can’t
Ullaasa Ulagamendru Piranthu VittaenI was born into what I thought was a world of joy
Idhan Unmai Nilai AriyaamalBut I’m blind to its true reality
Mayangugindraen NaanAnd now I’m spiraling in confusion
Kann Mayakkam Theerththu VaippaaiClear this daze from my eyes
IyarkkaiyammaaOh, Mother Nature
Kadhal Mudhal Dharmam Varai Kaatta VaaraaiCome show me the path from love to duty
Un Magalukkuthavu Seivaai IyarkkaiyammaaHelp your daughter, Mother Nature
Ulanganinthu Vanthu Vidu Varuga ThaayaeCome with a compassionate heart, Mother, please come
Varuga Thaayae Varuga Thaayae Varuga ThaayaeCome Mother, come Mother, come Mother
Kadhal Kadhal KadhalLove, love, love
Kavalaiyai Theerppathu KadhalLove is what heals all worries
Paathi Paathiyai Aangalum PengalumAs equal halves, men and women
Pangu Perum Sugam KadhalFind their shared bliss in love
Aadhi Mudhalilae Ulagam PiranthathumSince the very beginning when the world was born
Aarambamaanathum KadhalLove’s been the spark that started it all
Thagathagavena PalapalavenaGlittering and gleaming with a golden shine
Jolippathuthaan SelvamThat’s how wealth puts on a show
Thannai Maranthae Unnai ArugilWealth pulls you close while you lose yourself
Izhuppathuthaan SelvamIt lures you in with a tight grip
Pettra Magalai Thanthaiyai VittuTearing a daughter away from her father
Pirippathuthaan SelvamThat’s the power of wealth
Pesum Vaayai OomaiyaakkiStriking the speaking tongue dumb
Madakkuvathe SelvamWealth silences the boldest voice
Kannirunthum KurudanaagaTurning those who have eyes
Maattruvathe SelvamInto the completely blind
Kalviyillaa MoodaraiyumForcing us to bow to fools
Vananguvathe SelavamWho have no wisdom at all
Engae DharmamWhere’s the righteousness?
Engae Dharmam Engae DharmamWhere’s the duty? Where’s the truth?
Mannavar Mudiyum Thennavar NaadumIn the crowns of kings and the southern lands
Valarntha Dharmam Engae EngaeWhere’s the duty that used to thrive?
Kanniyar Karpum Annaiyar PanbumThe maiden’s grace and the mother’s love
Kaattiya Dharmam Engae EngaeWhere’s the virtue they once showed us?
Kaalgal Thalarnthu Kaigalum OinthuMy legs are failing and my hands are tired
Kadhurugiraen En ThaayaeI’m crying out to you, my Mother
Kanniyam Valarkkum Dharmaththin UravaiThe bond of duty that builds our dignity
Kaattiduvaai NeeyaeOnly you can show it to me
Kanniyam Valarkkum Dharmaththin UravaiThe bond of duty that builds our dignity
Kaattiduvaai NeeyaeOnly you can show it to me
