Yarin Vaalkai Lyrics Translation – Naduvan Soundtrack
Madhan Karky writes the singer asking whose life they are living and whose breath they are breathing. Santhosh Jayakaran voices the hope that a borrowed smile never fades.
Yarin Vazhkai IdhuWhose life is this?
Yarin Moochu IdhuWhose breath is this?
Yarin Udalukkul NanoInside whose body am I,
Yarai Ketkiren Sol BimbameTell me, my reflection, who am I even asking?
Nanum Nanum Oor Enthiram EnaveIt’s a dream where I feel I’ve turned into a machine,
Mari Vittathai Thondridum Kanavea dream that seems to have transformed me,
Endrum Endrume Kalaindhe Pogadheand I hope it never, ever shatters.
Veru Or Idhazh Punnagai OndruA smile from someone else’s lips,
Endhan Idhazhile Pookkudhu Indruis blooming on mine today,
Endrum Endrume Udhira KudadheI pray it never, ever fades away.
Yarin Vazhkai IdhuWhose life is this?
Yarin Moochu IdhuWhose breath is this?
Yarin Udalukkul NanoInside whose body am I,
Yarai Ketkiren Sol BimbameTell me, my reflection, who am I even asking?
Nanum Nanum Oor Enthiram EnaveIt’s a dream that makes me feel like a machine,
Mari Vittathai Thondridum Kanavea vision where I feel I’ve been changed,
Endrum Endrume Kalaindhe Pogadheand I don’t ever want it to break.
Veru Or Idhazh Punnagai OndruAnother’s smile is appearing on my lips,
Endhan Idhazhile Pookkudhu Indruit’s flowering on my face today,
Endrum Endrume Udhira Kudadheand I hope it never disappears.
Nan Unai Nee EnaiMe for you, and you for me,
Kanave Nikazhnthakavennawhat if this dream was destined to be?
Thozhiyai KadhalaiAs a friend, as a lover,
Marave Nikazhnthakavennawhat if we were meant to forget each other?
Nee Endhan Mugavari EndroMaybe you’re my address,
Nan Undhan Nigazhpadam Endroand maybe I’m just your photograph,
Kalathin Pokkil Marakkoodumwe might forget it all in the course of time,
Adhan Nikazhnthakavennabut what if that’s what’s meant to happen?
En Vazhvin Thonridam VeruThe origin of my life is one place,
Un Vazhvin Seridam Veruand the end of your life is another,
Nigazhnthakavinaleso is it just because it was meant to be,
Inge Thikazhkiromathat we are shining here together?
Yarin PerunkadhaiyilIn whose grand epic,
Neeyum Nanum Siruhave you and I become,
Paththirangal Ena Anomjust minor characters?
Yarin Kavithaiyil Sol AgiromIn whose poem have we become mere words?
Nanum Nanum Oor Enthiram EnaveThis dream where I feel I’ve become a machine,
Mari Vittathai Thondridum Kanavea feeling that I have been altered,
Endrum Endrume Kalaindhe PogadheI pray it never falls apart.
Veru Or Idhazh Punnagai OndruToday, a smile that isn’t mine,
Endhan Idhazhile Pookkudhu Indruis blooming on my lips,
Endrum Endrume Udhira Kudadheand I wish it would never wither.
Nanum Nanum Oor Enthiram EnaveIt feels like I’ve become a machine in this dream,
Mari Vittathai Thondridum Kanavea strange vision that has redefined me,
Endrum Endrume Kalaindhe Pogadheand I hope it never comes to an end.
Veru Or Idhazh Punnagai OndruSomeone else’s smile has found my lips today,
Endhan Idhazhile Pookkudhu Indruit’s blossoming right on my face,
Endrum Endrume Udhira Kudadheand I hope it’s here to stay forever.
