Uyir Koottula
Gnanakaravel | Gowtham Bharadwaj • From “Yamakaathaghi”
What is the meaning of Uyir Koottula Lyrics from Yamakaathaghi?
Gnanakaravel’s writing positions the beloved as a waterfall cascading over the singer’s chest. One verse describes the beloved’s face as the only visible world, eclipsing all other sights.
Uyir Koottula VaazhuraYou’re living in the nest of my soul.
Nee En Kaadhal ChittukkuruviYou’re my ‘little sparrow’ of love.
Vaazhkkaiye NeethaanadiYou’re my life itself, my dear.
Maarbil Paanji Kottum AruviYou’re a waterfall that rushes and pours over my chest.
Vizhi Urutti Orathil PaarkkaiyilaWhen you roll your eyes and look at me from the corner,
Enna Surutti VeesiriyeYou roll me up and toss me away.
Uyir Puratti Podura Un SirippilWith your smile that turns my soul upside down,
Idhayam Katti AaluraYou’ve tied up my heart and now you’re ruling it.
AzhageMy beautiful one,
Nee Vaikkum Nethi PottuAs for the ‘bindi’ (forehead dot) you wear,
Naanaaga OttikittuI’ll stick there as if it were me.
Un Kannu NaduvulaRight between your eyes,
Vaazhven Thookam KettuI’ll live even if I lose all my sleep.
Koondhalil SoodikkollaTo be worn in your tresses,
Thoattathil Nee ParikkumInside the flower you pick from the garden,
Poovukkul Naa IrundhuI’ll hide within those petals,
Unna Naan ParippenAnd I’ll pluck your heart away.
Unna Meeri Kannil Vera Kaatchi IllaBeyond you, there’s no other sight for my eyes.
Ulagame Un Mugam DhaanadiThe whole world is just your face, my dear.
Thudukku Pechila SaachittaYou’ve knocked me over with your cheeky talk,
Innum Naan EzhumbalayeAnd I haven’t even managed to get back up yet.
Nee Sindhum VetkamFrom the shyness you shed,
Korthadhil Naalum Vaanavil VadippeneI’ll weave a rainbow every single day.
En UyireOh, my life,
Or Nodi Pirivilum KollaamaDon’t kill me with even a second’s separation.
Kooda Vaazhndhidu KogilamaeCome and live with me, my ‘songbird’.
Nee Vaikkum Nethi PottuAs for the ‘bindi’ (forehead dot) you wear,
Naanaaga OttikittuI’ll stick there as if it were me.
Un Kannu NaduvulaRight between your eyes,
Vaazhven Thookam KettuI’ll live even if I lose all my sleep.
Koondhalil SoodikkollaTo be worn in your tresses,
Thoattathil Nee ParikkumInside the flower you pick from the garden,
Poovukkul Naa IrudthuI’ll hide within those petals,
Unna Naan ParippenAnd I’ll pluck your heart away.
Uyir Koottula VaazhuraYou’re living in the nest of my soul.
Nee En Kaadhal ChittukkuruviYou’re my ‘little sparrow’ of love.
Vaazhkkaiye NeethaanadiYou’re my life itself, my dear.
Maarbil Paanji Kottum AruviYou’re a waterfall that rushes and pours over my chest.
