Mannipaaya...

Mannipaaya - VTV

Here is the translation for one of my ARR classic favourites :-)

Kadalinil meenaaga irundhaval naan
Unakkena karai thaandi vandhaval dhaan
Thudithirundhen tharaiyinile
Thirumbivitten en kadalidame

She : I was like a fish in the sea
Who for you, came crossing shores
After struggling on the land,
I returned - back to my sea itself.

Oru naal sirithen, maru naal veruthen
Unai naan kollaamal kondru pudhaithene
Mannipaaya mannipaaya ...
Mannipaaya ...

She : One day, I laughed. Next day, I hated
Without killing you,I buried you dead, alive -
Will you forgive me? Will you ever forgive me?
Will you forgive me?

Kane, thadumaari thadumaari nadandhen
Noolilaana mazhai aagi ponen
Unnaal dhaan kalaignanaai aanene

He : Dear, I stumbled several times as I walked
And became like a rain made of thread
Because of you, I became an artist

Tholai dhoorathil velicham nee
Unai nokiye enai eerkiraaye
Melum melum urugi urugi
Unai enni engum idhaiyathai enna seiven
Oh unai enni engum idhaiyathai enna seiven

He : You are a far off light
Who keeps pulling me towards you
The more and more, I melt
What do I do with the heart that
yearns for you.
Oh, what do I do with the heart that
yearns for you.

Odum neeril oru alai dhaan naan
Ulle ulla eeram nee dhaan
Varam kidaithum naan thavara vitten
Mannipaaya anbe

She : In the flowing water, I'm just one wave
The moistness inside within me is you
Even after receiving my boon, I let myself lose it
Will you forgive me, my love?

Kaatrile aadum kaagidham naan
Nee dhaan ennai kadidham aakinaai
Anbil thodangi anbil mudikkiren
En kaalam varai

He : I'm like a paper that flies in the wind
Only you made me into a letter -
Starting with love and ending with love
For the rest of my life.

Oru naal sirithen, maru naal veruthen
Unai naan kollaamal kondru pudhaithene
Mannipaaya mannipaaya.. .
Mannipaaya?
She : One day, I laughed.Next day, I hated.
Without killing you,I buried you dead, alive -
Will you forgive me? Will you ever forgive me?


Anbirkum undo adaikkumthaazh aarvalar
Punka neer poosal tharum

(Note :This is a verse from Thirukural)
Chorus : Affection cannot be confined by shutters;
Uncontrollable tears will roll down spontaneously
When one sees the suffering of loved ones.

Anbilaar ellaam thamakkuriyar anbudaiyaar
Enbum uriyar pirarku

(Note : Another verse from Thirukural)
Chorus : Those without affection in their hearts
Will keep all they have for themselves;
The tender hearted will even give away their bones.

En en vaazhvil vandhaai kaa nee
Povaayo kaanal neer pole thondri
Anaivarum urangidum iravenum neram
Enakkadhu thalaiyaai nanaithidum eeram

She : Why did you come into my life, dear?
Will you vanish like a mirage after appearing?
For everyone, to sleep means night -
For me, that is the time to wet my pillow with tears.

Oru naal sirithen, maru naal veruthen
Unai naan kollaamal kondru pudhaithene
Mannipaaya mannipaaya.. .

She : One day, I laughed.Next day, I hated.
Without killing you,I buried you dead, alive -
Will you forgive me? Will you ever forgive me?
Kane, thadumaari thadumaari nadandhen
Noolilaana mazhai aagi ponen
Unnaal dhaan kalaignanaai aanene

He : Dear, I stumbled several times as I walked
And became like a rain made of thread
Only because of you, I became an artist.

Tholai dhoorathil velicham nee
Unai nokiye enai eerkiraaye
Melum melum urugi urugi
Unai enni engum idhaiyathai enna seiven
Oh unai enni engum idhaiyathai enna seiven

He : You are a far off light
Who keeps pulling me towards you
The more and more, I melt
What do I do with the heart that
yearns for you.
