Thunbam Soozhum
A. M. Rajah • From “Genova”
What is the meaning of Thunbam Soozhum Lyrics from Genova?
Ramani questions whether a woman’s value decreases because she embodies compassion. Lyrics paraphrase ‘Anbu vadivaai aanathaalae, arumai ponatho’ to challenge societal perceptions. The song asserts that modest sacrifices lead to eventual victory.
Thunbam Soozhum Pengal VaazhvilIn the lives of women surrounded by sorrow,
Thunbam Thollaiyaa Inbam IllaiyaaIs misery a constant plague? Is there no joy?
Thunbam Soozhum Pengal VaazhvilIn the lives of women surrounded by sorrow,
Thunbam Thollaiyaa Inbam IllaiyaaIs misery a constant plague? Is there no joy?
Anbu Vadivaai AanathaalaeBecause they’ve become the very embodiment of love,
Arumai PonathoHas their precious value faded away?
Anbu Vadivaai AanathaalaeSince they’re the living form of compassion,
Arumai PonathoHas their worth just vanished?
Idhai Yaarthaan Arivaar BhoomiyilaeWho on this earth would truly understand this?
Yaeno VaethamaeWhy’s there so much agony?
Idhai Yaarthaan Arivaar BhoomiyilaeWho in this world’s going to recognize this?
Yaeno VaethamaeWhy’s there such deep pain?
Elithaana Vaazhvil Maathar ThiyaagamIn a simple life, a woman’s sacrifice,
Jeyamae KoodumaeWill surely result in victory.
Elithaana Vaazhvil Maathar ThiyaagamThrough their humble lives, their sacrifice,
Jeyamae KoodumaeWill lead them to triumph.
Elithaana Vaazhvil Maathar ThiyaagamEven in a modest life, a woman’s sacrifice,
Jeyamae Koodumae Jeyamae KoodumaeWill surely bring victory. Triumph will be theirs.
Jeyamae KoodumaeVictory will surely come.
Thunbam Soozhum Pengal VaazhvilIn the lives of women surrounded by sorrow,
Thunbam Thollaiyaa Inbam IllaiyaaIs misery a constant plague? Is there no joy?
Thunbam Soozhum Pengal VaazhvilIn the lives of women surrounded by sorrow,
Jeyamae Koodumae Jeyamae KoodumaeVictory will surely bring triumph. Success will be theirs.
Jeyamae KoodumaeVictory will surely come.
