Yaenada Shiva Lyrics Meaning Haricharan | Radhan | Prema Katha
Muthamil describes swimming without seeing an end. Haricharan questions why prayers remain unheard. The lyricist notes all lives start happily but end in sorrow.
Meengal Sindhum Kanneer IngeThe tears that fish shed here,
Yaarum Engum Paarthathillaino one has ever seen them anywhere.
Idhayam Kanda Kanavu EllamAll the dreams that my heart once envisioned,
Ninaivu Inge Aavadhillaithey don’t become a reality here.
Yenada SivaWhy is it, Shiva?
Idhu Yenada SivaWhy is this happening, Shiva?
Yenada SivaWhy is it, Shiva?
Idhu Yenada SivaWhy is this happening, Shiva?
Neendhum Dhooram TheriyavillaiI don’t know the distance I’ve to swim,
Neendhinaalum Ellai Illaiand even if I swim, there’s no end in sight.
Vendinaalum KetpadhillaiEven if I pray, You don’t listen,
Kettapodhum Kidaippadhillaiand even when I ask, I don’t receive an answer.
Yenada SivaWhy is it, Shiva?
Idhu Yenada SivaWhy is this happening, Shiva?
Yenada SivaWhy is it, Shiva?
Idhu Yenada SivaWhy is this happening, Shiva?
Sugamaaga Thodangum VaalvoA life that begins so pleasantly,
Sogamindri Mudivadhu Illainever ends without a touch of sorrow.
Aatril Odum Padagugal EllamAll the boats that drift along the river,
Aalam Inge Arivadhu Illaidon’t know the true depth of the water.
Maandu Pona PinaaleeOnly after someone has passed away,
Mannil Thondi Puthaikindromdo we dig into the earth to bury them.
Kannil Neerai KandaaleWhenever we see tears in someone’s eyes,
Kaarunai Kondu Parkindromwe look at them with a sense of compassion.
Kaadhal Nenjil KondaaleWhen we carry love within our hearts,
Yedhum Indri Thavikkindromwe suffer without having anything at all.
Kaadhal Nenjil KondaaleWhen we carry love within our hearts,
Yedhum Indri Thavikkindromwe suffer without having anything at all.
Sollada SivaTell me why, Shiva.
Nee Sollada SivaYou must tell me why, Shiva.
Sollada SivaTell me why, Shiva.
Nee Sollada SivaYou must tell me why, Shiva.
Nenjil Baaram KuraiyavillaiThe heavy weight in my heart won’t lessen,
Unnai Keettum Theeravillaiand it doesn’t end even after asking You.
Enna Seyya TheriyavillaiI don’t know what I’m supposed to do,
Undhan Idhayam Kallaachoohas Your heart turned into cold stone?
Thaandi Poga TheriyavillaiI don’t know how to move past this,
Thaandinalum Mudivathillaiand even if I cross over, it never ends.
Kangal Moodi PaarthaalumEven when I close my eyes and look,
Undhan Bimbam MaraiyavillaiYour image just won’t fade away.
Thaayum Illai Thandhai IllaiI have no mother and no father,
Yeddhum Indri Vandha PillaiI’m just a child who came here with nothing.
Indha KaadhalThis love,
Indha Kaadhalthis love.
