Vaadi Valarpiraye Lyrics Translation N.R. Raghunanthan | Rakshita Suresh | Azhagiya Kanne
Vaira Muthu contrasts suffocation imagery like ‘earth spins but I can’t breathe’ with defiant solutions. The pair declare ‘two hands can stop the ocean’ as proof of shared capability.
Vaadi ValarpiraiyaeCome to me, my waxing moon.
Vaazhvin ThunaikiliyaeYou’re the companion bird of my life.
Vaadi ValarpiraiyaeCome to me, my waxing moon.
Vaazhvin ThunaikiliyaeYou’re the companion bird of my life.
Dhisaigalai Thirandhu ThirandhuWe’ll open up the horizons one by one,
Parandhu PogalaamAnd we can fly away freely.
Vaazhvae ValarpiraiyaeLife itself is blooming like the moon.
Vaazhvom ThunaikiliyaeLet’s live fully, my companion bird.
Dhisaigalai Thirandhu ThirandhuWe’ll throw open the doors to every direction,
Parandhu PogalaamAnd we can fly away together.
Sutham Boomi Suzhalum KaathuThe earth spins and the wind swirls around,
Swasikka Naanum Vazhi IllaiyaeBut I can’t find a way to breathe.
Vannathupoochi Vaazhum PodhuWhen even a butterfly has a place to live,
Naanum Vaazha IdamyillaiyaaIs there no space left for me to exist?
Kaalam NamakkuThis time belongs to us now.
Ini Kaneer EdhukkuSo why shed tears anymore?
Kadalai ThadukkaTo hold back the mighty ocean,
Iru Kaigal IrukkuWe have our own two hands.
Kaalam NamakkuThis moment is ours.
Ini Kaneer EdhukkuThere’s no need for tears.
Kadalai ThadukkaTo stop the rising tides,
Iru Kaigal IrukkuWe have the strength of our hands.
Vaadi ValarpiraiyaeCome, my waxing moon.
Vaazhvin ThunaikiliyaeYou’re the partner bird of my life.
Vaadi ValarpiraiyaeCome, my bright waxing moon.
Vaazhvin ThunaikiliyaeYou’re the soulmate of my life.
Maalai Malar MaatriWe’ll exchange garlands in the evening,
Manjathil Idhazh MaatriAnd trade soft kisses on our bed.
Kaalaiyil EzhuvomaShall we wake up together in the morning,
Kani MozhiyaeOh, my sweet-voiced love?
Iravil Udal MaatriMerging our bodies in the darkness of night,
Pagalil Unai MaatriAnd sharing our true selves in the light of day.
Uravai ThodarvomaShall we continue this bond forever,
Uyir AzhagaeOh, beautiful soul of mine?
Maarbukku Naduvae KoodukattiI’ve built a nest deep within my chest,
Kaadhali Unai Naan Vaazha VaippenAnd I’ll keep you safe there, my love.
Kulathin Ullae NeeInside this sanctuary,
Edhu PadaithaaiWhatever you create,
Uyirukku UraiyaagaI’ll be the shield that protects your life,
Naan IruppenI’ll always be there.
Vaadi ValarpiraiyaeCome, my waxing moon.
Vaazhvin ThunaikiliyaeYou’re the companion bird of my life.
Dhisaigalai Thirandhu ThirandhuWe’ll open up the horizons one by one,
Parandhu PogalaamAnd we can fly away freely.
Vaazhvae ValarpiraiyaeLife itself is blooming like the moon.
Vaazhvom ThunaikiliyaeLet’s live fully, my companion bird.
Dhisaigalai Thirandhu ThirandhuWe’ll throw open the doors to every direction,
Parandhu PogalaamAnd we can fly away together.
Sutham Boomi Suzhalum KaathuThe earth spins and the wind swirls around,
Swasikka Naanum Vazhi IllaiyaeBut I can’t find a way to breathe.
Vannathupoochi Vaazhum PodhuWhen even a butterfly has a place to live,
Naanum Vaazha IdamyillaiyaaIs there no space left for me to exist?
Kaalam NamakkuThis time belongs to us.
Ini Kaneer EdhukkuSo why cry anymore?
Kadalai ThadukkaTo block the endless ocean,
Iru Kaigal IrukkuWe have two strong hands.
Kaalam NamakkuThe future is ours now.
Ini Kaneer EdhukkuThere’s no reason to weep.
Kadalai ThadukkaTo stop the crashing waves,
Iru Kaigal IrukkuWe have each other’s hands.
