Theethiriyaai Lyrics Translation Pritam | Sid Sriram | BrahmāStra
Madhan Karky equates the beloved to carved starlight: ‘He gathered sky beauty to create you.’ The line ‘I became a spark in your love’ frames surrender as joyful self-destruction.
Punalo Asaiyaamale AadutheThe river sways without a ripple,
Endhan Ulage Un Kannile Aadutheand my whole world sways within your eyes.
Vinnellam Mozhi Minnum AzhagaiHe gathered all the beauty that flashes across the sky,
Iru Kaiyil Kuviththaanheld it all within his hands.
Avan Unnai PadaiththaanAnd with it, he created you.
Iravai Un Kangal ChedhukkiHe carved the very night from your eyes,
Naan Ulle Vizhaso that I would fall deep inside them,
Enakkaaga Avan Koduthaanand gave them to me for my sake alone.
Theethiriyaai AanenI’ve become a spark,
Undhan Anbilein your love.
Seeri Theendaal InbaIf you fiercely touch me,
Thee Endhan Melea blissful fire is upon me.
En Meedhi Vaazhvil Nee VendumeI need you for the rest of my life,
Uyir Aanai Endraal Adhu Podhumeand if you swear on your soul, that’s all I’ll ever need.
Theethiriyaai AanenI’ve become a spark,
Undhan Anbilein your love.
Seeri Theendaal InbaIf you fiercely touch me,
Thee Endhan Melea blissful fire is upon me.
En Meedhi Vaazhvil Nee VendumeI need you for the rest of my life,
Uyir Aanai Endraal Adhu Podhumeand if you swear on your soul, that’s all I’ll ever need.
Nee Adhikaalai Keetrin OliyaaAre you the light of a morning sunbeam,
Menpesum Kaatrin Mozhiyaathe whisper of a gentle breeze,
Kannaale Ennai Koththithe glance that sculpts me with your eyes,
Azhagaakkum Aasai Oliyaaathe beautiful light of longing?
Nee Tharai VeezhnthaAre you a fragment of a fallen star,
Vinmeen Thugalaathe very last daughter of the moon?
Vennilaavin Kadaisi MagalaaThe one who speaks of the creator’s pride,
Padaithavanin Perumai Pesumare you his living glory?
Needhaan Avan PugazhaaYou are his living glory.
Andaththin Inbaththin MoththaththaiHe took all the joy in the universe,
Than Kaiyil Eduthaanheld it within his hand.
Pin Unnai VadiththaanAnd from it, he sculpted you.
Iravai Un Kangal ChedhukkiHe carved the very night from your eyes,
Naan Ulle Vizhaso that I would fall deep inside them,
Enakkaaga Avan Koduthaanand gave them to me for my sake alone.
Theethiriyaai AanenI’ve become a spark,
Undhan Anbilein your love.
Seeri Theendaal InbaIf you fiercely touch me,
Thee Endhan Melea blissful fire is upon me.
En Meedhi Vaazhvil Nee VendumeI need you for the rest of my life,
Uyir Aanai Endraal Adhu Podhumeand if you swear on your soul, that’s all I’ll ever need.
Theethiriyaai AanenI’ve become a spark,
Undhan Anbilein your love.
Seeri Theendaal InbaIf you fiercely touch me,
Thee Endhan Melea blissful fire is upon me.
En Meedhi Vaazhvil Nee VendumeI need you for the rest of my life,
Uyir Aanai Endraal Adhu Podhumeand if you swear on your soul, that’s all I’ll ever need.
Theethiriyaai AanenI’ve become a spark,
Undhan Anbilein your love.
Seeri Theendaal InbaIf you fiercely touch me,
Thee Endhan Melea blissful fire is upon me.
