Mannipaaya Lyrics with Translation

I am posting the lyrics of Mannipaaya along with the translation.Thanks to Abdul from AR Rahman's community.



kadalinil meenaaga irundhavaL naan
unakkena karai thaandi vandhavaL dhaan
thudithirundhen tharaiyinile
thirumbivittEn en kadalidame

[I was a fish in the ocean and
I crossed the shores for you
I was struggled on the land
and returned back to my ocean]

oru naaL sirithEn, maru naaL veruthEn
unai naan kollaamal kondru pudhaithEnE
mannipaaya mannipaaya.. .

[One day i smiled, the next day i was frustrated
I buried you without killing you.
Will you forgive me. Will you forgive me]

thadumaari thadumaari nadandhEn
noolilaana mazhai aagi ponen
unnaal dhaan kalaignanaai aanenE

[I struggled to walk
I became a rain made of thread
I became an artist because of you]

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

[You are the light at a distance..
You draw me towards you
What do i do to the heart that
melts at the thought of you]

Odum neeril Or alai dhaan naan
uLLe uLLa eeram nee dhaan
varam kidaithum naan thavara vittEn
mannipaaya anbE

[I'm a wave in the running water (and)
You are the moist within me
I missed the blessing that i got
will you forgive me love]

kaatrilE aadum kaagidham naan
nee dhaan ennai kadidham aakinaai
anbil thodangi anbil mudikkirEn
en kaalam varai ???

[I'm the paper that floats in the air
You made me into a letter
I start and end with love
Until my lifetime ???]

oru naaL sirithEn, maru naaL veruthEn
unai naan kollaamal kondru pudhaithEne
mannipaaya mannipaaya.. .

[One day i smiled, the next day i was frustrated
I buried you without killing you.
Will you forgive me. Will you forgive me]

anbirkum undo adaikkumthaazh aarvalar
punkaNeer poosal tharum

This is a verse from Thirukural:
[Affection cannot be confined by shutters;
Uncontrollable tears will roll down spontaneously when one sees the sufferings of loved ones]

anbilaar ellaam thamakkuriyar anbudaiyaar
enbum uriyar pirarku

Another verse from Thirukural:
[One who doesn't love is possessive about everything;
One who loves would even be willing to part their bones]

En en vaazhvil vandhaai kaNNa nee
povaayo kaanal neer polE thondri
anaivarum urangidum iravenum neram
enakkadhu thalaiyaNai nanaithidum eeram

[Why did you come into my life my dear
Will you vanish like a mirage
Night is the time when everyone sleeps
But thats the time for me to wet the pillows with tears]

oru naaL sirithEn, maru naaL veruthEn
unai naan kollaamal kondru pudhaithEne
mannipaaya mannipaaya.. .

[One day i smiled, the next day i was frustrated
I buried you without killing you.
Will you forgive me. Will you forgive me]

thadumaari thadumaari nadandhEn
noolilaana mazhai aagi ponen
unnaal dhaan kalaignanaai aanenE

[I struggled to walk
I became a rain made of thread
I became an artist because of you]

there is also a third line from thirukural...
"Pulambal ena-chendren pullinaen nenjam,
Kalathal uruvadhu kanndu…" which means "In huff I went and felt at ease heart to heart in sweet embrace."
