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            
I've held on to you forever

Uyirin ull maraithen                
I hid you inside my heart

Veliyil konjam naditheney          
I acted a bit aloof on the outside

Vizhiyile oru keeraley                
A distortion in my vision

Vizhunthathey theriyamaley      
has occured unknown to me

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

Mahendra Singh Bahubali

The Legend Hello dear Readers!!! We’ve finished yet another month of the year 2k21, probably without knowing how it went by (because of the lockdown and the pandemic, of course), and have entered the month that is the first to represent double digits!!! I, personally, am super excited for this month, the reason being the fact that I’m a HUGE cricket fanatic (Read the Editor’s bio to get clarity *wink*) So, why should I get excited in terms of cricket because it’s October? It’s because of 2 marquee cricketing events that are happening / will be happening in this month and the next – the Indian Premier League and the ICC World T20. Having these 2 events back to back doesn’t only mean almost 60 days of non – stop T20 action; it also means we get to see a brilliant mastermind in live action on the cricket field – a phenomenon known to Chennai Super Kings fans as Thala Dharisanam (Sighting of the Cricket God) – the presence of Mahendra Singh Dhoni on the ground!!!   As our dear ...

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...

Of Meditations and Realisations

Being a self proclaimed spiritual enthusiast, it didn’t take me much time to delve into the world of meditation. And by delve, I mean going through various articles, how to’s and videos where people described what meditation meant to them, the various methods of meditation, the miracles they had experienced after a mere day of meditation, its overall health benefits and of course the overall increase in focus and mental clarity, etc. Notice I didn’t tell you anything about me practicing a full on actual meditation?  Well that’s because I didn’t, at that time at least. To me, meditation was the most uncomfortable thing anyone could ask me to do (literally) It meant I had to silence the distractions I loved, ignore the distractions I hated and basically focus on something as boring as my breath or worse, a mantra in sanskrit, whose meaning I had no idea about and felt no form of devotion to.  I couldn’t day dream of what an amazing meditation expert I would soon become (or even ...
