Viduthalai Part 2 Movie’s Manasula Lyrics Translate to English
Manasula Manasula, Oru Maathiriya Irukku
There’s a strange feeling in my heart,
Nenappula Nenappula, Adhu Pudhividhama Irukku
a new kind of thought in my mind.
Manasula Manasula, Oru Maathiriya Irukku
There’s a strange feeling in my heart,
Nenappula Nenappula, Adhu Pudhividhama Irukku
a new kind of thought in my mind.
Than Vazhiye Nadakkiradhaa
Should I walk my path
Illa Vazhi Vittu Velagidudhaa
or step aside and make my way?
Thanimaikku Thonaiya Thedanumaa
Should I seek companionship for my loneliness
Pogira Pookkil Poganumaa
or go with the flow?
Manasula Manasula, Oru Maathiriya Irukku
There’s a strange feeling in my heart,
Nenappula Nenappula, Adhu Pudhividhama Irukku
a new kind of thought in my mind.
Chittu Rendu Erai Edukka
Two little birds take flight,
Vattam Ittu Serakattikkum
circling and building their nest together.
Serakattikkum Serakattikkum
Circling and building, circling and building.
Suthi Suthi Thirinja Pinne
After flying around and around,
Koottil Onnaa Kudiyirukkum
they’ll settle down together in their nest.
Kudiyirukkum Kudiyirukkum
Living together, living together.
Thaniya Irundhathu Podhaadhaa
Isn’t it enough to be alone?
Thonaiyonnu Enanjaa Aagaadhaa
Wouldn’t it be nice to have some company?
Kuruviyapola Vazhvmaiyaadhaa
If only my heart desired a life like the sparrows,
Manam Irundhaa Adhu Kidaikaadhaa
Is it possible?
Nalladhunnu Solthamma, En Manasu Mudivaaga
They say it’s good, and my heart finally decides.
Manasula Manasula, Oru Maathiriya Irukku
There’s a strange feeling in my heart,
Nenappula Nenappula, Adhu Pudhividhama Irukku
a new thought.
Than Vazhiye Nadakkiradhaa
Should I walk my path
Illa Vazhi Vittu Velagidudhaa
or step aside and make my way?
Thanimaikku Thonaiya Thedanumaa
Should I seek companionship for my loneliness
Pogira Pookkil Poganumaa
or just go with the flow?
Manasula Manasula, Oru Maathiriya Irukku
There’s a strange feeling in my heart…
