Meesha’s Thee Kulir Nilaa Veyil Lyrics Translation

The verses describe a deep friendship using the image of horses running together on one path. This picture of unity is broken when the lyrics state the horses scattered and went their separate ways. The song directly names the sorrow with the line about “some wounds that never heal.”

Thee Kulir Nilaa VeyilFire, coolness, moonlight, sunlight
Udal Kadal Alakalil MarayukayoDoes the body just vanish in the ocean’s waves?
Thee Kulir Nilaa VeyilFire, coolness, moonlight, sunlight
Udal Kadal Alakalil MarayukayoDoes the body just vanish in theocean’s waves?
Gathakaalangal Pala SaarangalThe past holds so many stories
Athilethetho Puthu MaanangalAnd in them, strange new horizons
Nilayillathe AthinaazhangalWithout a foothold, their endless depths
Murivaarathe Chila KaayangalAnd some wounds that never, ever heal
Akaleyakale AlakadalilathirinFar away, beyond the churning ocean’s shore
MarukarayeOn the other side
Uyareyuyare Parannu MukilerumSoaring high above, climbing to the clouds
SouhridhameOh, our friendship
Kuthariyurumarore GathiyilCharging ahead on a single path
Orupol KuthirakalLike horses running as one
Chithariyadaradaray Oru NaalThen one day, scattered and torn apart
Palathayi PoyavarWe went our separate ways
Thee Kulir Nilaa VeyilFire, coolness, moonlight, sunlight
Udal Kadal Alakalil MarayukayoDoes the body just vanish in the ocean’s waves?
Gathakaalangal Pala SaarangalBygone times held countless truths
Athilethetho Puthu MaanangalAnd within them, new dimensions appeared
Nilayillathe AthinaazhangalUnsteady, plunging into their depths
Murivaarathe Chila KaayangalAnd certain wounds that just won’t heal
Kaalam Maarum VegamTime changes so fast
Lokam Paayum NeramAs the world rushes onward
Jaalam Theerthu NaamumWe too, just weave our own illusions
Thee Kulir Nilaa VeyilFire, coolness, moonlight, sunlight
Udal Kadal Alakalil MarayukayoDoes the body just vanish in the ocean’s waves?
