A.R. Rahman | Sarthak Kalyani • From “Cobra”
Tharangini Lyrics Translation – Cobra Soundtrack
Thamarai compares dreams to self-made prisons through lines like ‘Kanavugal Ennum Valai Virithen.’ The lyrics describe Tharangini as both guiding light and confinement, using imagery of melting hearts and vanishing senses.
Tharangini TharanginiTharangini, Tharangini.
Gini Ni Gini GiniGini Ni Gini Gini.

Thanimaiyil Vidadhaval IvalShe’s the one who won’t leave me in solitude,
Kanavilum Ninaivilumwhether in my dreams or my waking thoughts.
Idaiveli Tharadhaval IvaleShe’s the one who never grants us any space,
Inimaiyin Innor Thugalejust another particle of pure sweetness.
Mudhal Mudhal Unarum AnbalWith this love I’m feeling for the very first time,
Moozhgivida Thondrum PenpalI feel like drowning within this woman’s essence.
Azhagi En Arugil VandhalWhen my beautiful one comes near me,
Aararivum Theyum Thannalall my six senses start to fade on their own.
Pudhayale Boomiyai KeeriLike a treasure that has split the earth,
Thedi Varum Munnalyou’ve appeared right before me.
Analmele Paniyai Urugi UrugiMelting and melting like dew upon a fire,
Karaiyum Enadhu Manam Urugi Urugimy heart is dissolving as it melts for you.
Irundhalum Idhuve Marugi MarugiEven so, this heart keeps aching for more,
Thodarum Adimanadhil Marugi Marugiit continues to throb deep within my soul.
Kalangarai Vilakkai VanthalShe arrived like a guiding lighthouse.
Karirulil Thoonai NindralShe stood as a pillar in the pitch-black night.
Mayiliragu Parvai KondalShe possessed a gaze as soft as a peacock’s feather.
Mamazhaiyum Thane ThanthalShe even brought the great rains with her.
Tharangini TharanginiTharangini, Tharangini.
Gini Ni Gini GiniGini Ni Gini Gini.
Tharangini Tharana TharanginiTharangini, Tharana Tharangini.
Dhinam Dhinam Unnai Thirudi ChellaTo steal you away day after day,
Vizhithirunthen Vidiyal VaraiI stayed awake until the break of dawn.
Kanavugal Ennum Valai VirithenI spread out a net made of dreams,
Athuvallavo Vimala Chiraiand isn’t that just a pure, beautiful prison?
Kadikaram Veenai Etharku NamakkuWhy do we even need a clock or a ‘veena’?
Uyiril Viralal Nee KeeraWhen you strum my soul with your fingers,
Puralum Nadhiyai Nan MeeraI overflow like a rolling river.
Po Endru Nane Sonnalum Pogathe NeeEven if I tell you to go, don’t you dare leave.

Mudhal Mudhal Unarum AnbalThrough this love I’m experiencing for the first time,
Moozhgivida Thondrum PenpalI’m tempted to submerge myself in this woman.
Azhagi En Arugil VandhalWhenever my beauty draws near,
Aararivum Theyum Thannalall my senses naturally begin to erode.
Pudhayale Boomiyai KeeriLike a hidden treasure surfacing from the soil,
Thedi Varum Munnalyou’ve come seeking me.
Analmele Paniyai Urugi UrugiLiquifying like ice over a flame,
Karaiyum Enathu Manam Urugi Urugimy soul is dissolving as it melts for you.
Irundhalum Idhuve Marugi MarugiRegardless, this longing keeps intensifying,
Thodarum Adimanadhil Marugi Marugiit persists within the depths of my mind.

Gini Ni Gini NiGini Ni Gini Ni.
Tharangini TharanginiTharangini, Tharangini.
