**Uyirae uyirae inru unnoadu kalandhuvittaen Is this the beginnning or the end? I’ve left that in your hands. The future will put the blame on you, girl, that’s why I wilted (?) Is that why I’m singing? (rhetorical, implying, that’s not why) If the flowering feminity doesn’t come, I will set myself on fire on the mountain top I will watch the path my breath air comes from and hold on to my life Mudhalaa mudivaa? adhai un kaiyil koduththuvittaen** Varum edhirkaalam un meedhu pazhipoadum pennae adharkaagaththaan vaadinaen

Malarkonda penmai vaaramal poanaal malaimeedhu theekkulippaenĮn uyir poagum poanaalum thuyarillai kannae adharkaagavaa paadinaen **En swaasak kaatru varumpaadhai paarththu uyirthaangi naaniruppaen If circumstance hinders you, merge me with the earth Kaalam thaduththaal ennai mannoadu kalandhuvidu Kaadhal irundhaal endhan kannoadu kalandhuvidu Nilavae nilavae indha vinnoadu kalandhuvidu

Ninaivae ninaivae endhan nenjoadu kalandhuvidu **Uyirae uyirae vandhu ennoadu kalandhuvidu Thanks to my dad for correcting the meanings. And if I may say so, these lyrics far out-beat the Hindi remake. Hariharan’s voice makes it take on a etheral quality. From the movie Bombay, this is another super-hit from Rahman.
