Thalladum Nenje Lyrics Translation Jagadeesh Kumar Balraj | Karthick Harsha | Idumbankaari
Viky frames repeated questions about existence after losing family. Lines like ‘no mother to wipe tears’ show complete abandonment. The leaf metaphor illustrates total isolation against overwhelming darkness.
Thalladum Nenje Thalladum NenjeMy heart’s swaying, my heart’s swaying.
Yaarumillai Inge EnakenaThere’s nobody here for me.
Theeramal Odum Kanneerum IngeMy tears flow endlessly here.
Thaayum Illai Adhai ThudaithidaThere’s no mother to wipe them away.
Naan Saaiyum Tholgal Kaanamal NindrenI’ve stood here, unable to find a shoulder to lean on.
Thanthai Illai Ennai SumanthidaThere’s no father to carry me.
Inaiyaga Nindre Enai Kaatha AnnanMy brother, who stood by me and protected me.
Uyirindri Unai Kaana AalanenoAm I forced to see you now without any life?
Karuvagha Ennai Sumakatha AnnaiYou were like a mother who didn’t carry me in her ‘womb’.
Unai Indru Izhanthaae Naan VeenanenoBy losing you today, have I become worthless?
Veenaneno Naan VeenanenoHave I become worthless? I’ve become worthless.
Un Paathaiyil Naan ServenoWill I join you on your path?
Yaar Iniyen Vethanaigal KetiruppaaroWho’ll listen to my pains from now on?
Punnagaikkum Neram Enai PaarthirupaaroWho’ll watch over me when I smile?
Thaavarangal Noorirunthaal Orr VanamaagumA hundred plants make a single forest.
Oar Ilai Naan En Nilayo Ini IrulaagumI’m just a single leaf, so my life will be dark from now on.
Maayaulagilae Enai Vaattum ThanimaiyeIn this world of illusions, my loneliness torments me.
Pothum Enaiyum MaaithiduvaayoIt’s enough, will you just end my life too?
Thalladum Nenje Thalladum NenjeMy heart’s swaying, my heart’s swaying.
Pothum Pothum Ini PurapaduIt’s enough, it’s enough, set out now.
Ellamum Ingae Illamal PonaalIf everything here is gone.
Paathai Varum Athil Uyir ViduA path will appear; surrender your life there.
Pogathae Endru Sonnalum KaalamEven if time tells me not to go.
Dhooram Sella Neeyum ThuninthiduMuster the courage to go far away.
Varnangal Illa Vaanavil PolaLike a rainbow without any colors.
Kalainthenae Naanum Thaan UlagilaeI’ve faded away in this world.
Oli Indri Naalum Irulaagi PonenWithout light, my days have turned to darkness.
Ini Enthan Vazhi Thedi Naan PogirenNow I’m going to search for my own path.
Naan Pogiren Naan PogirenI’m going, I’m going.
Un Paathaiyil Thaan Naan VeezhgirenI’m falling right into your path.
