Nadhi’s Theera Nadhi Tamil Lyrics English Meaning
Kapil Kapilan questions if he lives only in Srinisha Jayaseelan’s breath. Thamarai’s lyrics compare their shared life to a river. The singer recalls an anklet sound that still echoes.
Kanal Neeril Pootha MullaiyeOh, jasmine that bloomed in a mirage,
Jal Jal KolusoliThe ‘jal jal’ sound of your anklets,
En Kadhil Kadhakaliis a ‘kathakali’ dance in my ears.
Nil Nil ThanimaiyilStop, stop… in this loneliness,
Kal Veesichel Kal Veesichelyou went, casting stones at me.
Mul Mul Iniya MulA thorn, a thorn, a sweet thorn,
En Yengum Manadhinulis deep inside my longing heart.
Nil Nil Oru BathilStop, stop… with just one answer,
Sollamal Sol Sollamal Solspeak without speaking.
Andrum Indrum Manamellam NeeyeThen and now, you’re all that fills my heart,
Anbin Katil Alaipayum Theeyeyou’re a flame swaying in the winds of love.
Neer Thedum PodheJust as I was searching for water,
Mazhaiyai Nee Vandhayeyou came to me like the rain.
Nee Meetkathan Nan MoozhginenaDid I drown just so you could rescue me?
Un Moochilthan Nan VazhgirenaAm I living only within your breath?
