Kiss Movie’s Thirudi Lyrics English (Translation)
Thaniye naa thavichchu ninnaene
I stood all alone, aching with sorrow
Naa odanchu ninnaene adadaa
I remained broken, shattered from within
Nilavae nee olinchu ninnaalum
Even if you hide away like the moon
Unna thedi varuven, mugilaa
I’ll still come searching like a drifting cloud
Ada puncture aana wheel’ah pola
Like a wheel gone flat
Kaaththu illaama ninnen
I stayed deflated, with nothing left inside
Nenja thottu konji poyen di
Touch my heart and soothe this hurt
Oru joker kuda enna paaththaa kanneer vittu kalanguvaan
Even a joker would weep seeing me like this
Yen vidhiya konjo maaththi thaayen di
Change my fate just a little, my dear
Thirudi nee pothum di
Just steal me away — that alone will do
Thukkam pogum di, odane
The sadness will fade in an instant
Sirukki vanthu seru di
Come near me, little one
Kaadhal pesu di, odane
Whisper your love to me, right now
Yeh onna renda vaazhkkaiyila naa patta kashtam
The pain I carried alone in this life
Ava paarva patta kaanaamale pogum
Melts away unseen with just one look from her
Yeh soththu sogam ella irundhum enna machan laabam
What good is all this wealth and grief, brother?
Ava illaati na ella veena pogum
Without her, everything loses meaning
Yeh santhosaththa moottakatti thoranthathu da kaalam
Time sealed up my happiness and locked it away
Kannukulla epothume thangidu da sogam
There’s always a weight of sorrow behind my eyes
Yen nenjukkulla epo machan kavalaiyellam theerum
When will the ache in my heart finally end, brother?
Ava nenachcha ellam maarum
If she remembers me, everything will change
Ava kannadi machan
She’s like a mirror, brother
Enna ava kaatti vacha
She showed me who I really am
Puthusaa sirikka vacha
She made me smile like I never had before
Dhinusaa manasa thachchaa
She shaped my heart little by little
Enna thallaada vachcha
And she made me cry as well
Thimira thoraththi vacha
She drove away my pride
Muththam pathichi vecha
Marked me with her kisses
Moththam marakka vecha
And made me forget everything
Thirudi nee pothum di
Just steal me — and that will be enough
Thukkam pogum di, odane
My sorrow will vanish right away
Sirukki vanthu seru di
Come close to me, little one
Kaadhal pesu di, odane
Speak your love to me, right now
