Color Photo’s Tharagathi Pathos Lyrics Translation
The song’s focus stays on a mind left behind in a classroom long after time has moved on. The lyrics describe eyes searching everywhere for a companion who cannot be found. This search becomes a rain of glances falling in sorrow.
Raane Panjaraana Kadhai PoyeThe queen in her cage has faded into a story.
Raathe Thaarumaarai Gatham KoreMy destiny, turned upside down, clings to the past.
Doorapu Kondallo Daagina SooreeduThe sun is now hidden in those distant hills,
Cheekati Kanullo Chammanu NimpáduAnd fills my darkened eyes with unshed tears.
Tharagathi Gadhilone Migilina ManasuA mind that’s still left behind in the classroom,
Samayamu Gadichena NeduWhile time itself has passed on by.
Atu Itu Etu Antoo Vethikina KanuluMy eyes search everywhere, this way and that.
Dorakani Jatha Kosam Choopula VaanaiFor the unfindable partner, they become a rain of glances,
JaareAnd they fall.
