Yedhu Naan Inge
Santhosh Narayanan | Uma Devi • From “Anel Meley Pani Thuli”
Anel Meley Pani Thuli’s Yedhu Naan Inge Tamil Lyrics English Meaning
Uma Devi uses metaphors like veils and honeycombs to explore identity and struggle. The lyrics ask, ‘Who am I here?’ and compare the self to a honeycomb enduring fire. The performer sings about standing tall, even when burdened by lies and stones.
Edhu Nan IngeWho am I here?
Enai Nan EnbenWhat’ll I call myself?
Maraipodum Thiraigal NanaAm I the veils that keep me hidden?
Edhu Nan IngeWho am I here?
Enai Nan EnbenWhat’ll I call myself?
Vasaipadum Dhisaigal NanaAm I the directions that keep me confined?
Yaro Neidha VeligalSomeone else’s woven fences.
Enai Soozhum EnnangalThe thoughts that surround me.
Therai Setril SaithidumThey’re tilting the chariot into the mire.
Polladha KolangalWicked ‘kolangal’ (ritual floor designs).
Edhu Nan IngeWho am I here?
Enai Nan EnbenWhat’ll I call myself?
Maraipodum Thiraigal NanaAm I the veils that keep me hidden?
Edhu Nan IngeWho am I here?
Enai Nan EnbenWhat’ll I call myself?
Vasaipadum Dhisaigal NanaAm I the directions that keep me confined?
Theeyodu PoradumStruggling against the fire,
Thenkooda NaningeI’m a honeycomb here.
Thee Vaikkum PoimaigalThe lies that ignite the blaze,
Theerkkindra NalingeThey’ll all be settled today.
Mannin SuvaithanOnly the taste of the earth.
Marathin KaniyeThe fruit of the tree.
Ilaiyin Alave Kilaiyin NizhaleJust the size of a leaf, just the shade of a branch.
Kadalenna Sangil AdangidumaCan the ocean ever be contained in a shell?
Katrenna Kuzhalil OdungidumaCan the wind ever be trapped in a flute?
Punithangal Sumandhathu PodhumI’ve carried these ‘sacred things’ long enough.
Ingu Puzhuthikkul Pudhainthathu PodhumI’ve been buried in this dust long enough.
Theeyodu PoradumStruggling against the fire,
Thenkooda NaningeI’m a honeycomb here.
Thee Vaikkum PoimaigalThe lies that ignite the blaze,
Theerkkindra NalingeThey’ll all be settled today.
Muthugile Kallai KattiWith a stone tied to my back,
Moochile Sollai ThaithuWith a word stitched into my breath,
Aatrile VeesinalumEven if I’m thrown into the river,
Nimirthidu Aruvigal PoleI’ll stand tall like the waterfalls.
Nimirthidu Aruvigal PoleI’ll stand tall like the waterfalls.
Kadal Thandum KatrellamAll you winds that cross the sea,
Parakka MarukkatheDon’t refuse to fly.
Kattaru Vellam Nee Thembi NirkkatheYou’re a wild river’s flood, don’t stand there sobbing.
Theeyodu PoradumStruggling against the fire,
Thenkooda NaningeI’m a honeycomb here.
Thee Vaikkum PoimaigalThe lies that ignite the blaze,
Theerkkindra NalingeThey’ll all be settled today.
Edhu Nan IngeWho am I here?
Enai Nan EnbenWhat’ll I call myself?
Maraipodum Thiraigal NanaAm I the veils that keep me hidden?
Udal Than IngeIf only the body is here,
Vidai Than EndralAnd if that’s the only answer,
Andha Poimai ThurappenI’ll renounce that lie.
Theeyodu PoradumStruggling against the fire,
Thenkooda NaningeI’m a honeycomb here.
Thee Vaikkum PoimaigalThe lies that ignite the blaze,
Theerkkindra NalingeThey’ll all be settled today.
