Theeye Dhaagamo
Madhurakavi | Poornachandra Tejaswi S.V. • From “Dhoomam”
Theeye Dhaagamo Lyrics Translation – Dhoomam Soundtrack
Madhurakavi asks whether tears can cool burning embers of guilt. His Ganges river metaphor rejects purification, framing sins as ropes binding the soul across lifetimes.
Theeye DhaagamoIs the fire a thirst?
Theeraadha MogamoIs it an unending obsession?
Pogum Dhooram EllaamEverywhere you go,
Azhiya Paavamoit’s an indestructible sin.
Saambal MeattilumEven in a mound of ashes,
Pugaiyaai Neeludhaeit stretches out like smoke.
Ullae Thee RanamInside, there’s a fiery wound;
Adhu Aaralaiyohasn’t it healed yet?
Netraya TheeYesterday’s fire
Chidhaiyil Pularumwill dawn in the funeral pyre.
Naalaienum VidiyalaeEven in tomorrow’s dawn,
Indru Eludhumany history written today
Saridham Edhuvumconsists of truths-swallowing lies.
Mei Vizhungum PoigalaeThese are truths-swallowing lies.
Vizhi Neer ThelithaalIf you sprinkle your tears,
Analdhaan Kedumowill the heat really fade?
Nee Pogum VeedhiyilOn the street where you walk,
Pala Kaalamfor a long time,
Neelum Paava Theeye Neeyou’re the fire of sin that stretches on.

Thodarum NizhalaeOh, following shadow,
Unnai Pirindhaeif it separates from you,
Varumo Varumowill it come, will it come?

Kayiraai PinaiyumLike palm lines tied like a rope,
Kai Reagaigal Poljust like the lines on a hand,

Vidhiyaa MadhiyaaIs it fate or wisdom?
Vizhanga SadhiyaIs it a conspiracy to trap you?
Agamum PuramumInside and out,
Nidhamum Pizhaiyaeverything is a mistake every day.
Pala GangaiEven if you dive into many ‘Ganges’ (sacred river),
Neeril Muzhgaiand emerge from the water,

Azhiya Paavamoit’s an indestructible sin.
