Minni Maranju Lyrics English Translation – SA

Chiricha naalukaL oronnayi kayinnu vilichu koovn thaala thilayayi
The days we laughed came back one by one, echoing in a rhythmic beat.

Santhosham, nintha, innenthoraṁ chinthaya mandaayil
Happiness, stillness — now all replaced by a flood of thoughts.

Mundhiya poothikaLaayiññu melinju poyathaa
They turned into wild weeds and withered away.

Aalocahana thinna thalaya kooriya meniyil murivu palathaa
Thoughts gnawed the head, leaving many wounds on a weary body.

Chaavi thirichittu vittathaa paavakalaaayi karangunnu
Left after locking the door, now wandering like ghosts.

Kanninte munnu maranjoo, kanninte munnil niranjoo nee
Did you disappear before my eyes, or are you now filling my vision?

It’s all about that poem still on that loop
It’s that poem again, playing endlessly in a loop.

Minnimaranjoo, kanninte munnil niranjoo nee
Did you flash and vanish, or are you fully present before my eyes?

Missing my own life still on the move
Missing my own life, still moving forward endlessly.

It’s all about that poem, still on that loop
Missing my own life, still on the move
Do we have another way to cope up with this loot?
I’m losing all the feelings one by one, I’m earning dues

It was all about the coins, now we know what’s note
Swiping then we’re tapping, all the touches are important
Money coming in and going, and we’re tryna go with though
Laugh is what we’re tryna cut so we can think.

Thanishirikkaathirikkumbo chirikkaa
When you’re not alone, it’s easy to laugh.

Thanishirunnaa melle melle kannum poottam
But when alone, you slowly close your eyes.

Chinthichirikkaam chodyachinjam udichaal
Let’s sit and think — when the knot of questions arises,

Njaanum neeyum aar, enth, enthinenna utharangal theedam
You and I search for answers: Who are we, what, and why?

Karangi thirinju vannu
After wandering, circling, I came back.

Minni minni minni ninnu
Flickered and stood, flickered again and again.

Palarum enne konnu
Many have killed me in their ways,

Thinnu thinnu thinnu ponnu
Feeding on me, again and again, and moved on.

Adachathente kannu
They shut my eyes,

Chathachathente nenchu
And crushed my chest with pain.

Chathichavante chathikkumunnilen chithakal chethari chennu
Before the betrayal of the betrayer, my remains scattered and went ahead.

Onnu vannu chodyamaanu, enni randu, moonnu, naalu
It began with one question, then came two, three, four.

Ithellaam arinju enthinaanu, ithethra kettu theernnathaanu
What’s the point of knowing all this, hearing it again and again till it’s worn out?

Mattoraley kadha, atheppozhum vibhavaa
Another person’s story — always served like a feast,

Thinnu theeralilla, irachchi innath ennonnilla
Never-ending consumption — no one asks whose flesh it is today.

Minni maranjoo, kannin munnil niranjoo nee
Did you vanish in a flash, or now fill my entire sight?

It’s all about that poem
It’s all about that one poem,

I’m still on that loop
I’m still caught in that loop.

Minni maranjoo, kannin munnil niranjoo nee
Did you disappear like a spark, or stand full before my eyes?

Missing my own life
Missing my own life,

Still on the move
Still moving, always moving forward.

Kuththalle kuththalle kuththalle kuththumbo vedhanippikkalle vekkalle
Don’t stab me, don’t stab me — and if you do, don’t make it hurt, don’t leave it in me.

Thattana nenjath theeri thappalle
Don’t come beating on the chest like a war drum.

Ente okke mohatthil theeri nerangalle
Don’t rise and settle in the middle of all my desires.

Aarante tholath chaari kedakkalle
Don’t lie down leaning on someone else’s shoulder.

Chaathante jaathakam nokki nee vaazhaille
Don’t build your life based on a ghost’s horoscope.

Kaththana nenjath vellam thalikkaanaay vannonte nenjath idutthee nee vekkalle vekkalle
Don’t take the water meant to cool a burning chest and pour it on another’s wounds.

Manassin alivinaal palavarem sahichathaa
Out of kindness of heart, I’ve endured so many.

Madichu poyathaa malakalum chumachitha
Turned away — carrying even mountains on my shoulders.

Vazhikku vazhuki njan vazhukki veenavante kathayitha
This is the story of the one who slipped and fell, slipping down life’s path.

Varathan varacha varayil thalavara thalachadichathaa
On the line drawn by fate, I slammed my head and bled.

Keekatte keekatte sankadam, paranju theeraatha kadhakal kapadam
Let the sorrow be heard, endless stories told, full of deceit.

Manass karakkam nikkaatha pamparam, kandu thelinju,
A restless mind like a spinning top, what was seen became clear,

Kettathu pakaram vekkanaavatha, mounam ethra malathi ittaalum kaulum
What’s heard can’t be replaced, silence no matter how much poison it contains,

Rand vashamundu onnin polum, nalla visham undivide, vishamam kaanumpol polum.
There are two sides to everything, even one has good poison here, even when suffering is seen.

Minni maranjoo, kannin munnil niranjoo nee
Did you flash and disappear, or are you filled before my eyes?

It’s all about that poem
It’s all about that poem,

I’m still on that loop
I’m still caught in that loop.

Minni maranjoo, kannin munnil niranjoo nee
Did you vanish like a spark or fill my sight completely?

Missing my own life
Missing my own life,

Still on the move
Still moving forward, still on the move.

Still on the move
Still moving forward, still on the move.
