How Old Are You’s Vijanathayil Pathi Vazhi Thedunnu Lyrics Translation in English
Rafeeq Ahammed’s lyrics, when translated, tell a story of self-encouragement. The narrator urges herself to keep moving forward, even when she wants to give up. This comes through in the line, “Oh my footsteps, don’t you grow weary.”
Vijanathayil Paathi Vazhi TheerunnuIn this emptiness, half the journey is over.
Churi Manalil Veenu VeyilaarunnuI fall onto the hot sand as the sunlight disappears.
Aazhamariyaa Sagarangal Neendi NeendiI keep swimming through oceans whose depths I can’t know,
Theeramanaya Koorirulil Ekayaay OrolamaakayoIn thick darkness, unable to find the shore, I wonder if I’m just a single ripple.
Chuvadukale Thalararuthe My footsteps, please don’t get tired.
Idararuthe Varoo, Varoo Pokam AkaleDon’t stumble now. Come on, let’s go far from here.
Vijanathayil Paathi Vazhi TheerunnuIn this emptiness, half the journey is over.
Churi Manalil Veenu VeyilaarunnuI fall onto the hot sand as the sunlight disappears.
Odi Marayum Kaalamengo, Orthunilkathangu DooreTime slips away and hides somewhere far off, never waiting.
Engo Poyathengo En Kinavin VenpirakkalWhere did the white doves of my dreams go?
Enthe Maanjathenthe Manchirathil Pootha NalamWhy did the guiding light that once shone in my small hut fade away?
Pulrikale Ithu VazhiyeNew mornings, please come my way.
Iniyunaroo Varoo Varoo Ven VeethiyaiWake up now and appear as a bright, new path.
Vijanathayil Paathi Vazhi TheerunnuIn this desolation, half the journey ends.
Churi Manalil Veenu VeyilaarunnuFalling on the burning sand, the sunlight fades away.
Neelamukilaay Vaanileraam, Melemele Paari NeengaanLet’s rise up like a blue cloud and drift higher and higher.
Ullil Ullinullil Pandu Pande Neytha SwapnamA dream that was woven deep in my heart long ago,
Veendum Thedi Vannu Kannilaazhan Nidra NeendiHas come searching for me again, filling my eyes and keeping me awake.
Gopi Sundar’s music and Rosshan Andrrews’ direction give the song a hopeful feel. The track matches Manju Warrier’s role in the film, which marked her big return to cinema. It turns feelings of tiredness into a message about starting fresh.
