Tea Vibes Lyrics Translation – Pranav Giridharan | Vaibhav Murugesan
Rajesh Sridhar frames the tea stall as a charging point for tired workers. His lyrics note debates about politics unfold beside cups, while police watch gatherings nearby with batons ready.
Varum Yaarum Ondragi KalikkaEveryone who comes along can enjoy themselves as one.
Koodi Pesi Ondragi SirikaThey gather to talk and laugh together.
Therukoru Dheivam Kada Pottu IrukkaThere’s a deity and a shop on every street corner.
Manasu Mindum Straight Lineil NadakaMy mind starts walking in a straight line again.
Vidinjidum Kalai VeyilThe morning sun begins to rise.
Kaiya Kati AzhaikaIt calls to me with open arms.
Kedigarangal Suthi VandhuAs the hands of the clock spin around,
Break Point-ah NerungaThey approach the breaking point.
Sindhanayil Sandham VaraPeace enters my thoughts.
Adi Manam ThudikaMy heart starts to beat from deep within.
Iravo Pagalo Idio MazhaiyoWhether it’s day or night, thunder or rain,
Losso Gaino EdhuvandhalumOr even loss or gain, whatever comes my way.
Rottoram Oru Tea Oda NippenI’ll stand by the roadside with a cup of tea.
Thodum Sootoda Konjam Cool Agi KedapenI’ll cool down as I feel its warmth.
Rottoram Oru Tea Oda Nippen Na NaI’ll stand by the roadside with a cup of tea.
Varum Smell-oda Konjam Light AgiI’ll float away, feeling light from its aroma.
Medhapen Na Ne NaneI’ll just drift along.
Sutthi Ethana ExpectationThere are so many expectations surrounding me.
