Radhan | Sarath Santosh • From “Sila Nerangalil Sila Manidhargal”
Un Pirivu Lyrics Translation Radhan | Sarath Santosh | Sila Nerangalil Sila Manidhargal
R. J. Vijay portrays a speaker feeling like a flower without roots. The lyrics question if days will stretch on for such a flower. The song recalls moments of being lifted high, which now exist only in memory.
Un PirivuYour departure,
Un Maraivu Un ThadangalYour passing and your footprints,
Ini Theda Padhai IllayeThere isn’t a path left to search for anymore.
Nan Thaniya Yar ThunaiyaI’m all alone, so who’s here to support me?
Ver IzhandhaFor a flower that’s lost its roots,
Poovukku Natkkal NeelumaWill its days ever stretch on?
Tholile Thookki NeeYou lifted me onto your shoulders,
Van Uyaram KattinaiAnd showed me how high the sky is.
Osaiye KettidaJust so I could hear the sound,
Dhoorathil Isai MeettinaiYou played music from afar.
Varthaiyum VazhkkaiyumCan words and life,
Pugaipadam Kadhai SollumaOr even a photograph, tell the whole story?
Dhinam Adhai ParthidaIf I look at it every single day,
En Manam Than ThangumaWill my heart even be able to bear it?
Un PirivuYour departure,
Un Maraivu Un ThadangalYour passing and your footprints,
Ini Theda Padhai IllayeThere isn’t a path left to search for anymore.
Un PirivuYour departure,
Un Maraivu Un ThadangalYour passing and your footprints,
Ini Theda Padhai IllayeThere isn’t a path left to search for anymore.
Nan Thaniya Yar ThunaiyaI’m all alone, so who’s here to support me?
Ver IzhandhaFor a flower that’s lost its roots,
Poovukku Natkkal NeelumaWill its days ever stretch on?
