Stanley Xavier | Sanjana Kalmanje’s 222 Lyrics (with English Translation) | Pesamal Pona Penne Penne
Pesamal Pona Penne Penne
Oh woman, you who left without a word,
Oru Varthai Mattum Podhum Kanne
Just one word is enough, my dear.
Vegudhooram Dhooram Sellum Podhum Ennaruge
Even when you go far away,
Un Vasam Mella Vandhu Vandhu Sellum Aruge
Your fragrance lingers near me.
Konjam Sirichu Nenjjai Kizhichu
You smiled a little, tore my heart apart,
Parvaiyila Ennai Paadhi Azhichu
destroyed half of me with your gaze.
Mella Anaichu Mutham Nanaichu
You gently embraced me, drenched me with kisses,
Kaathalukku Innum Rekka Mulaichu
and gave wings to our love.
Azhaga Partha Maname Mella
Oh my heart, you saw beauty,
Valiyai Vartha Sugame
Oh my comfort, you spoke of pain.
Endhan Viralgal Korththa Kaname
Oh my dream, you intertwined our fingers,
Ulle Uyirai
You held my soul within.
Neelamai En Vaazhvil Indru,
Valiyinai Thantha Vadhaname
You, who brought pain into my long life today,
Aazhamai En Nenjjile Sendru,
Irangiya Oru Thuyarame Enakkul
Oh my sorrow, you settled deep within my heart.
Erindha Ninaive Engum Kanave
Oh burning memory, oh yearning dream,
Nee Thirumbi Vandhal Podhum Urave
It’s enough if you come back, my love.
Unnai Ninaiththe Urugi Thavithe
Thinking of you, I melt and yearn,
Nenjukulle Ninren Unmai Pudhaiththe
I stand here with my heart filled, burying the truth.
Ovvoru Nimisamum Uyirai Niruthudhu
Every moment stops my breath,
Thanimaihal Uruthudhu Meendum Vandhuvidu
Loneliness hurts; come back to me.
Neeyatra Irupidam Irundhen Nerupidam
I was in a fiery place without you.
Nee Illai Endru Nambavillai
I don’t believe you’re not here.
Ulagame Uraiyudhu Unarchchi Karaiyudhu
The world is freezing, and emotions are fading.
Urakkangal Maraiyudhu Meendum Vandhuvidu
Sleep is disappearing; come back to me.
Ninaivugal Thurathudhu
Memories chase me,
Adi Unnai Thaedithaan Nee Kaiyasaitthu Maraindhai
I’m searching for you; you waved goodbye and disappeared.
Nanagi Ennul Neeyagi Endrum Namagi Vara Vandhen
I became you, you became me, we became one, I came to be.
Yadhagi Uyir Melagi Nenjjil Thodhagi Ennaith Thandhen
I became everything; I became life itself; I settled in your heart; I gave myself to you.
Pazhagi Konda Pin Imaigal Irandumey
After getting used to each other, will our eyelids
Vilagi Pogumo Vizhigalai
ever part from our eyes?
Purindhu Kolvadha Pirindhu Selvadha
Should we understand or separate?
Arugil Vandhuvidu Anbe…
Come closer, my love.
Pesamal Pona Penne Penne
Oh woman, you who left without a word,
Oru Varthai Mattum Podhum Kanne
Just one word is enough, my dear.
Vegudhooram Dhooram Sellum Podhum Ennaruge
Even when you go far away,
Un Vasam Mella Vandhu Vandhu Sellum Aruge
Your fragrance lingers near me.
Konjam Sirichu Nenjjai Kizhichu
You smiled a little, tore my heart apart,
Parvaiyila Ennai Paadhi Azhichu
destroyed half of me with your gaze.
Mella Anaichu Mutham Nanaichu
You gently embraced me, drenched me with kisses,
Kaathalukku Innum Rekka Mulaichu
and gave wings to our love.
