Kanukulla Lyrics Translation | Dude | Sai Abhyankkar | Jonita Gandhi

En kanukulla kaatadha, nenjukulla nachaadhe
What didn’t stay in my eyes, don’t settle in my heart.

Solle podhum, un solle podhum
Just say it—your words alone are enough.

En anba moththam pichchaane
You begged for all my love, took it like alms.

Kovam vechu thechchaane
Then crushed it with your anger.

Innum venum, oh innum venum
Still want more? Oh, you still want more?

Vittu pona vaasalile
At the doorstep you left from,

Vaazhkkai theera kaathirukken
I’m waiting as if my whole life depends on it.

Kaathilulla kaadhal ellam
All the love in my ears (words of love you said),

Kooti kaathu thaarenen naan
I gathered and saved it all to give it back to you.

Oda oda naan mela saanjikka
I ran and got bruised all over,

Theera theera un thol illaiyaa?
Isn’t your shoulder there to comfort me?

Eeram eeram kan oram medhuva pothumey
With teary eyes, even a gentle touch on the side is enough.

Oda oda naan mela saanjika
I kept running and got hurt all over.

Theera theera un thol illaiyaa
Isn’t your shoulder there to heal me completely?

Eeram eeram en kan orama kodhumey
Tears gather in my eyes—this pain is unbearable.

En kannukulla kathadha
What didn’t stay in my eyes,

Nenjukulla nachadhe
Don’t settle in my heart.

Solle podhum, un solle podhum
Just your word is enough—only your word.

Yaar pazhiyo, yaar pizhaiyo
Who is at fault? Who made the mistake?

Yaar vecha kan muzhiyo
Who gave me these tearful eyes?

Naan keta kelvikku nee mattum thaan vidaiyo
For the question I asked, are you the only answer?

Ennagum en vidhiyo
What will happen to my fate?

Ennagum en vidhiyo
What will become of my destiny?

Ennagum en vidhiyo
What will my life turn into?

Ennagumo
Who knows what will happen?

Vittu pona vaasalile
At the doorstep you left from

Vaazhkai theera kaathirukken
I’m waiting as if my life has stopped

Kaathilulla kaadhal ellam
All the love that remains in my ears

Kooti kaathu thaarenen naan
I gathered and kept it all safe for you

Oda oda naan mela saanjikka
I kept running and got hurt all over

Theera theera un thol illaiya
Isn’t your shoulder there to heal me?

Eeram eeram kan oram medhuva pothumey
With tears in my eyes even a soft touch on the side is enough

Oda oda naan mela saanjika
I ran and got hurt again and again

Theera theera un thol illaiya
Isn’t your shoulder there to give me comfort?

Eeram eeram en kan orama kodhume
The sides of my eyes burn with tears

Aavalum aazhudhu, paadalum neeludhu
Desire has sunk deep and the song goes on endlessly

Ekkam illa, idhu ver edo puriyalaye
There is no hope, this feels like something else I cannot understand

Theevaram thaangala, theeravum thonala
I cannot bear the intensity and I see no end to it

Theevula thooki potta, thaana udanjen ulla
It feels like I was thrown into fire and my heart broke instantly
