Lyrics: Vairamuthu

Opening:
Pachchai Kiligal tholodu,
Paatu kuyilo madiyodu
Boologam aanandhaththin ellai
indha, boomikku kanneer sondham illai
Chinnanjiru kootukulla sorgam irukku
ada chinna chinna anbil dhaane jevan innum irukku
Pattaam poochchi koottathukku pattaa edhukku
ada, paasam mattum podhum kannae, kaasu panam ennathukku

- Green parrots on my shoulders
- Singing cuckoo on my lap
-the world is simply the zenith of joy.
-tears simply do not belong to this earth.
-Happines lies within a small nest
-Life still exists only due to those tiny acts of love.
-Why do butterflies need pattaas of land?
-Love is the only thing u need, money and wealth are not necessary.

Stanza 1:
Andha vinnil anandham,

Ada bhoomi pandhai otti vandha pullil anandham
Veyilin suththam anandham,
Mazhayin saththam anandham
Ada mazhayil kooda syam pohaa vaanavil aanandham
Vaazhvil nooranandham,
Vaazhvae peraanandham
Kannae, Naraiyezhudhum, suyaharitham, adhil anbae aanandham aanandham...

- There's joy in those skies
- There's joy in these sands
- There's joy in the grass that envelopes this earth.
- There's joy in the cleanliness of sunlight
- There's joy in the sound of rain
- There's more joy in the rainbow whose colour doesn't fade despite the rains
-Hundreds of pleasures in life
-Life in itself is full of joy,
-Darling,My portrait made out of my grey hair-There's joy in the love in it.

Stanza 2:
Un moochchil naan vazhndhaal,

En kaadhu varaikkum kambali porththum karunai aanandham
Sondham oraanandham,
bandham peraanandham
pennae, un vizhiyal pirarkazhudhaal, kannerum anandham aanandham...

- If i live in your breath
- There's joy even in my old age
- If you were to give birth to me in another birth, there would be more joy in it.
- In the months when it snows
- There's joy in your heat
- There's joy in the concern you show by drawing the blanket over me upto my ears.
- There's a certain joy in our relations
-There's great joy in our bondages,
-Lady, if you were to take part in somebody's sorrow, there's joy even in those tears.

Just one question? Has it ever snowed in Tamil Nadu? I've seen a number of songs referring to 'Pani'?? 😕

I think I used the last of the internet translations, it back to googling some words 😕

I think I might do some of the classic Ghantasala/Nageshwar Rao songs. Those were quite meaningful songs. And I might just be able to translate. Deepa and Sri can fill in any gaps that come up.

Ok. This is from Maya Bazaar:

From Roja (Roja Janeman)

Kadhal Rojave

Movie Name: Roja
Singer: Balasubramanyam S P
Music Director: Rahman A R

kaadhal roajaavae engae nee engae
kanneer vazhiyudhadi kannae
kannukkul needhaan kanneeril needhaan
kanmoodip paarththaal nenjukkul needhaan
ennaanadhoa aedhaanadhoa sol sol

Rose of love, where are you?
My tears are pouring, my dear
You are in my eyes, You are i nmy tears
When I close my eyes, you are in my heart
What happened, tell me, tell me?

(kaadhal)

thenral ennaith theendinaal saelai theendum njaabagam
chinnap pookkal paarkkaiyil dhaegam paarththa njaabagam
velli oadai paesinaal sonna vaarththai njaabagam
dhaegam rendum saergaiyil moagam konda njaabagam
vaayillaamal poanaal vaarththai illai kannae
neeyillaamal poanaal vaazhkkai illai kannae
mulloadudhaan muththangalaa sol sol

when the wind brushes my skin, I remember your sari brushing against me
On seeing small flowers, I'm reminded of your body memory
Even if a silver ship speaks, it'll remind me of your words
On the unity of two bodies I remember my desire for you
If I lose my mouth, there are no words
If I lose you, there is no life
Am I left kissing thorns, tell me TELL ME??


(kaadhal)

veesuginra thenralae vaelai illai inru poa
paesuginra vennilaa penmai illai oayndhu poa
poo valarththa thoattamae koondhal illai thaeindhu poa
boomi paarkkum vaanamae pulliyaagath thaeindhu poa
paavai illai paavai thaevai enna thaevai
jeevan poana pinnae saevai enna saevai
mulloadudhaan muththangalaa sol sol

blowing wind, there is no need for you, so go
The speaking moon , the womanhood is not here, so go find her
Flower garden, there is no lady's hair, so go
Sky that watches the earth, go find her bindi
There is no girl, what do I need?
After a life is gone, what is work/service?
Am I left kissing the thorns, Tell me , TELL ME??

(kaadhal)

Anyone, fill in the blanks? (Thanks Sangeeta)

Sri!👏 you did a great job translating.. minor corrections - some of these words have two meanings and the 2nd meaning fits better

I tried again. Tamil pundits, please don't hang me.

Beautiful songs Aruna, I'm having a blast listening to them and then translating.

Thanks Sangeeta. You're too modest. Your Tamil is pretty good.

hi aruna - thEgam means body.. i think that will get u the two lines in the first 2 verses...

peNmai - womanhood
kUntal - hair(of a woman)
pulli - i think refers to the bindi

last verse
veesuginra thenralae vaelai illai inru poa
paesuginra vennilaa penmai illai oayndhu poa
poo valarththa thoattamae koondhal illai thaeindhu poa
boomi paarkkum vaanamae pulliyaagath thaeindhu poa
paavai illai paavai thaevai enna thaevai
jeevan poana pinnae saevai enna saevai
mulloadudhaan muththangalaa sol sol

blowing wind, there is no need for you, so go
The speaking moon , the womanhood is not here, go find her
Flower garden, there is no [her hair], so go
Sky that watches the earth, go find her bindi
There is no [paavai=girl], what do I need?
After a life is gone, what is work [or service]?
Am I left kissing the thorns, Tell me , TELL ME?? [-- I love that line!!]
