Theekari Lyrics Translation (from “Dasara”)

Vivek’s lyrics describe checking for physical wounds that don’t exist, contrasting internal pain with external normalcy. One couplet compares the singer to a severed wing while observing the other person’s unaffected smiles. This juxtaposition emphasizes irreversible damage against apparent indifference.

Theekari Dhooram AaguriyadiYou scorching flame, you’re pulling away.
Thadumaara Vittu PaakuriyadiYou leave me stumbling and just watch.
Unakkaaga Kannu VerkkurendiMy eyes are burning for you, girl.
Oruvatti Yennu KekkurendiWon’t you just ask me what’s wrong?
Nethu Naan PaatheneI only saw you yesterday.
Indha KaayamillayeThis wound wasn’t there.
Nenja Thottu PaatheneI touched my chest to feel it,
Sevappu SaayamillayeBut there’s no red dye of blood.
Ulla Ninnu PochchudiEverything’s just stopped inside me.
Pechu Moochu IllaiyeThere’s no speech, there’s no breath.
Satham KekkudhennuWhen I hear a sound,
Thottu Paakka Neeyum IllaiyeI reach out, but you’re not there to touch.
Theekari Dhooram AaguriyadiYou scorching flame, you’re pulling away.
Thadumaara Vittu PaakuriyadiYou leave me stumbling and just watch.
En Kili Nee IllaiyeYou’re not my ‘parrot’ anymore,
Unma SuttalumEven if the truth scorches me.
Unna Nenju ThedumMy heart keeps searching for you.
Buthiye IllaamaleYou came so thoughtlessly,
Uravaada VandhaTo build a bond with me.
En Nenappu VarumI know you’ll think of me.
Paasama VandhavaThe one who came with such affection,
Padhiyil ParakkuraFlies away in the middle of the journey.
Kaathula Uyir AadudheMy life is trembling in the wind.
Kanneerula Kaalam PogudheTime just slips away in tears.
Manam Saaya Idam ThedudheMy heart is looking for a place to rest.
Vettu Patta Rekka PolaLike a severed wing,
Sirippo Thara Kotta KottaYou just keep showering down smiles.
Katti Vacha NiyabagathilFrom the memories I’ve kept locked away,
Onnu Rendu Ratham SottaOne or two are starting to drip blood.
Un Muttu Katta ThediSearching for a place on your lap,
Naan Enna Kolli VaikkaShould I be the one to light my own pyre?
Un Manasu Mattum VaazhattumI just hope your heart lives on.
Manasum Illa Madiyum IllaI have no heart, no lap ‘to call my own’.
Idhukku Mela Valiyum IllaThere’s no pain greater than this.
Puzhuthiyaaga Porandha Jeevan NaaneI’m just a life that was born from dust.
