Hridayapoorvam’s Vida Parayaam Lyrics Translation
The song returns to the struggle of leaving without crying, while admitting an inability to become distant. A later line offers a resolution, promising the departed person will shine like moonlight inside the heart. This shows a turn from present pain to future memory.
Vida Parayaam ChiriyodeLet’s say goodbye with a smile
Marumozhiyum IdaraatheWithout a tremor in our words
Idanenjil PeyyaameghakkaarodeWith these storm clouds in my chest that won’t rain
Vazhi Maarippaari VenalppoothumbiA summer dragonfly changes its path and flies away
Niravaay EnnaalumThough this feeling is so full
Ninavaay PonneedaanLet it live on as a precious memory
Ee Moodal ManjilIn this shrouding mist
Mungum Thaaram PolLike a star that’s sinking from sight
Aa KaanaadoorathundeFar in that unseen distance
AaraaroThere is someone, somewhere
Kan Nanayaathe Kan NanayaatheWithout my eyes getting wet, without my eyes getting wet
Povukayaay AkalaanaavaatheI’m leaving, unable to grow distant
