Kalathil Santhippom (2020)’s Yen Maraikiraai Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Pa.Vijay frames the narrative as a direct question to a loved one. Lines like ‘You keep denying it’ paraphrase the core tension. Aslam Abdul Majeed sings of watching someone smile while feeling them pull away.
Yen MaraikkiraiWhy are you hiding it?
Nee Kadhalil IrukkiraiYou’re in love.
Nee MarukkiraiYou keep denying it.
Aanal Ennai NinaikkiraiBut you’re thinking of me.
Edho Oru Vali ManasaThere’s some pain in my heart,
Lesa Vandhu Vandhu Urasathat gently brushes against me again and again.
Unnai Thalli Thalli NadakkaAs you keep walking away from me,
Adhu Mattum Ennal AgalaI just can’t seem to distance myself.
Eppo Enna Solli MudiyaWhen will I find the words to end this?
Ippadiye Nalum VidiyaThe days just keep dawning like this.
Thundu Thunda Ulla UdaiyaI’m breaking into pieces inside,
Unakkenna Purinjukka Thonaladon’t you even feel like understanding?
Kai AsaikkiraiYou wave your hand.
Eppodhum Pol SirikkiraiYou smile just like you always do.
Oh Oh Orr NodiyileOh, in just a single moment,
Enakkul Nan PudhaigirenI’m burying myself within.
Endha Paravai Ennai ThandiWhenever a bird flies past me,
Pogum Podhum Undhan SayalI see your reflection in its path.
Nee Illamal Enna Seiya NanWhat am I supposed to do without you?
Neeyum Nanum Sonna VarthaiEvery single word that we both spoke,
Ondru Kooda Tholaiyavillainot a single one has been lost.
Katrin Veettil Semithene NanI’ve stored them all in the ‘house of the wind’.
En Palaiya Natkal EllamAll of my memories from the past,
Ennai Konjam Konjamai Kolgiradhedithey’re slowly killing me, little by little.
Un Varugai Ullangaiyil MelYour arrival adds a tiny feather,
Chinnan Siru Iragai Sergiradheright onto the palm of my hand.
Nee EnakkulleWithin my soul,
Ennanammo Nadathinaiyou’ve stirred up so many emotions.
Yar MarapadhuWho could ever forget?
Thalli Sendrum NerunginaiEven as you move away, you’ve come closer.
Sol Innum EnnaiTell me, what else
Enna Seiya Ninaikkiraido you plan to do to me?
Oh Oh Nee SollavittalOh, if you don’t speak up,
Un Kadhalai Tholaikkiraiyou’re going to lose your love.
