Nira Translation


Wear headphones, click play and then read along, 
for best experience


(Sid Sriram)

Niraa..Niraa..Nee yen Niraa       
Colour, colour..you are my colour

Thira..Thira..Ninaithira..            
Ceaseless..Ceaseless..Thoughts I feel

Nodi..sugam..thara..                   
A second of bliss, to obtain,

Vali..yugam..vidaa..                    
An eon of endless pain 
............
(Sid Again)

Vizhiyile oru keeraley                
A distortion in my vision

Vizhunthathey theriyamaley      
has occured unknown to me

Tharaiyile Nizhal veguthey        
my shadow boils on the ground

Thanimaiyai ariyamale              
its loneliness unfelt

Ninaivugal Vilaiyadhuthey        
Memories play & confuse me

Nijam adhu puriyamaley            
Without understanding the reality

Idhazhgalum thirakamale           
Without opening my lips (to reach out to you)

Idhaiyangal inaindhida, uyir Pizhaithidum                                 
If my heart unites with yours, My life will be saved   

Pogathey Azhage                        
Don't go, oh beauty!

Ini thangathey uyire                    
I can't bear it anymore

Yennai thondathey thimire         
Please don't tease me, oh trickster

Pagal vesham podathey              
Don't disguise yourself in broad daylight

Unnai theeramal pidithen            
I've held on to you forever

Uyirin ulley maraithen                
I hid you inside my heart
 
Veliyil konjam naditheney          
I acted a bit aloof on the outside

Niraa..Niraa..Nee yen Niraa       
Colour, colour..you are my colour

Thira..Thira..Ninaithira..            
Ceaseless..Ceaseless..Thoughts I feel

Nodi..sugam..thara..                   
A second of bliss, to obtain,

Vali..yugam..vidaa..                    
An eon of endless pain

Nodigal Thaavi Odum Mutkal Odu Sandai Ittu
Vantha paathai poga solli Netrai meendum kaetan

Having fought with the guardians of time
I asked for yesterday to come back

Urugi Urugi Neeyum Ulari Pona Vaarthai yaavum
Nyabagathil thedi thedi kadhil ketu paarthen

Those beautiful words that you blabbered
I searched my memories and listened to them again

Undhan madiyil naanum urangi pona tharunam thannai
Padam piditha minnalodu pugai padangal ketten

I asked those moments where I rested on your lap
To give their photo in the flash of that memory

Udhadum udhadum urasa uyir paritha saththam yaavum 
padhivu seidhu serthu vaitha ilaigal thulaiyil etti paarthen

I shyly heard the divine (unbelievable) sound of our lip lock
which was embedded and hoarded in the veins of the leaves

Mezhugu thiriyil eriyum theeyai vanthaai
Mezhugin udalai mella yeno thindrai

you came as the lighting fire to the candle
for unknown reasons, you slowly consumed the candle (me)

Undhan Moochu Kaatraai Uudhi ponaal, Pizhaithiduven adi!
The breeze carrying your breath is enough to save me dear!

Tharaiyil thavazhum kaadhal Paarthaal enna?
Won't you see the love I have for you, crawling on the floor?

Konjam pesi pesi theerthaal enna?
Won't you speak and satisfy our longings?

Indha kaalam neram ellaam oru murai kanavaai kalainthiduma..!
Will this era and time dissolve into a dream once more...!

Unnai theeramal pidithen

Uyirin ull maraithen                
I hid you inside my heart

Veliyil konjam naditheney          
I acted a bit aloof on the outside

Vizhiyile oru keeraley

Karaiyile Nizhal veguthey        
my shadow boils on the shore

Thanimaiyai ariyamale

(GVM returns-classic voice over)
Its not her face
Its something about her
Its just being in the right place with her
Its just the moment
Its everything about her man, I don't know what to say
Its just everything about her
No its not her face, its beyond that

Inside the Mind of a Missionary Worker

I wrote this poem in an attempt to dive inside the mind of missionary workers and healthcare warriors, who are the need of our pandemic struck world.  I was curious to explore how they could genuinely and unconditionally give sisterly and brotherly love to victimized people, who often shame themselves - as in, they hate their own existence and don't love themselves.  It's easy to love people who love themselves or at least have learnt to deal with their insecurities and have stopped projecting their fears and complexes onto other people.  But how does one love someone who hates themselves?  Let's see. I want to love you  no matter what you do whether you hit, beat or curse I want to love you no matter who you are genuine or a toxic farce I want to love you no matter what you throw defenses, screams and abuses galore I want to love you You know why? It's the only thing that's gonna  set me free and help me fly So how do I love you when you are this mess of s...

The Art Of Acceptance

" Acceptance, in human psychology, is a person's assent to the reality of a situation, recognizing a process or condition (often a negative or uncomfortable situation) without attempting to change it or protest it. " - Wikipedia Hello Wanderers... an august April to you (pun intended :P)!   March has been a month of earning too many brain wrinkles (which appear when one attempts to learn or apply something new), academically, spiritually and emotionally for me. And here I am to share my insights on the art of acceptance ( which would have made March so much more simpler for me ).   What does acceptance have to do with brain wrinkles? You'll be able to answer this question by the end of this article. Now, before I start, let's get the basics straight.   We lovely hoomans, with our amazing brain capacity and fantastic ability to analyze, create and predict, sadly tend to falter in one area where all other species seamlessly succeed - ACCEPTANCE.   Having evolved wit...

Who is the One for you?

" The One " is a romantic concept indicating a "soul mate" who is a particularly special or compatible person *  who knows us completely,  accepts us, stays with us no matter what and with whom we can be truly vulnerable, feel safe and secure always. Let's view it from a scientific and logical perspective. It has been proven that we are made of atoms from stardust as most of the elements that make up the human body and every creature in existence were originally present in stars (i.e) the collisions with asteroids, comets, solar waves from other stars over millions of years prior to the formation of the first ever living being on this planet, brought the necessary elements essential for life to this planet. So, logically , soulmates must be people with most number of complementary atoms. You see one person with whom you feel that you share so much in common and you try to get to know them deeper and deeper.  Your intimacy with them grows exponen...
