Chithha’s Theera Swasame Tamil Lyrics English Translation
S. U. Arunkumar writes about concealing a loved one within eyelids to protect them from tears. Kapil Kapilan pleads for their return before heartache solidifies, repeating ‘Endhan Kannaiyae Kaanalaiyae’ to underscore absence.
Theera Swasame Maara VasamaeMy endless breath, my unchanging world.
Theera Swasame Maara VasamaeMy endless breath, my unchanging world.
Kannimaikkul Pothi VeithenI hid you safely within my eyelids,
Kanneer Thuli TheendumendruFearing a teardrop might touch you.
Kann Thirandhu Paartha NodiBut the moment I opened my eyes to look,
Endhan Kannaiyae KaanalaiyaeI couldn’t find my beloved anywhere.
Nenjil Thuliyin Eeram Kaayum MunBefore the wetness of the tear in my heart dries,
Niraindhu Vaaraiyoo Sogangal TheeraayaeWon’t you come back to heal these sorrows?
Kanneer Thuligal Kannangal ThangaadhuMy cheeks can’t bear the weight of these tears,
Vandhu Seradi Ododi SundhariyaeCome running back to join me, my beautiful one.
Kannil Kaanalaiyae KaanalaiyaeI can’t see you in my eyes, I can’t find you,
Undhan Kaalthadangal KaanalaiyaeI can’t even find your footprints.
Innum Kaanalaiyae KaanalaiyaeI still can’t see you, I still can’t find you,
Endhan Nunuyirai KaanalaiyaeI can’t find my soul’s delicate essence.
Kannae Maniye Muthae En UyiraeMy darling, my gem, my pearl, my life,
Un Muthangal Naan PeruvenI’ll receive your kisses.
Vidaiyae Nilavae Vaazhvae En ThaayaeMy answer, my moon, my existence, my nurturer,
Un Madiyil Naan VizhuvenI’ll collapse into your lap.
Theera Swasame Maara VasamaeMy endless breath, my unchanging world.
Theera Swasame Maara VasamaeMy endless breath, my unchanging world.
Kannimaikkul Pothi VeithenI hid you safely within my eyelids,
Kanneer Thuli TheendumendraeFearing a teardrop might touch you.
Kann Thirandhu Paartha NodiBut the moment I opened my eyes to look,
Endhan Kannaiyae KaanalaiyaeI couldn’t find my beloved anywhere.
Nenjil Thuliyin Eeram Kaayum MunBefore the wetness of the tear in my heart dries,
Niraindhu Vaaraiyoo Sogangal TheeraayaeWon’t you come back to heal these sorrows?
Kanneer Thuligal Kannangal ThangaadhuMy cheeks can’t bear the weight of these tears,
Vandhu Seradi Ododi SundhariyaeCome running back to join me, my beautiful one.
