Paazha Lyrics English Translation – Vaazha 2 | Advaith R Rajesh | Muthu

Vettu Veenu Mannilaye, Vettu Poyi Koottilaye
I was cut down and fell to the ground; I was torn into pieces and thrown into a heap.

Ullilaake Neettalaye, Melle Ponu Ponnu Bhai
Deep within me, there is a burning pain, and I am slowly moving forward, my dear brother.

Kondirunnu Njaan Anganwadi, Annu Paranju A Aa E Ee
I used to sit in preschool and recite the alphabet back then.

Njaan Ola Oodhum Pi Pi, Thazhe Thottil Nedummeen Thappi
I would blow a whistle made from palm leaves and search for tiny fish in the stream flowing below.

Thalavara Illathonna
I am merely a person cursed by fate.

Pande Njaan Oru Vaazha
I’ve always been a useless ‘Vaazha’ plant.

Gunam Pidikkathoru Mona
I’m a son who will never amount to anything.

Pande Njaan Oru Vaazha
I’ve always been completely useless.

Utharamilla Plus Two Thottu,
When I failed the twelfth grade, I had no answer;

Umma Alari Njaan Enthinu Pettu
and my mother began shouting, asking why she had even given birth to me.

Tharilla Swairyam Pattu, Veliyerinju Migrate Aayi
I did not give my family even a moment of peace, so I crossed borders and settled far away.

Keri Chennappo Kashtappadum Kettu, Vellakaaranu Nokki Ilichu
When I arrived there, I heard about all the hardships, and forced a helpless smile when I saw the foreigners.

Velli Panamilla Pattiniyayi, Poriveyilil Daffu Kalichu
Because I had no silver coins, I went hungry for many days and kept beating the drum under the scorching sun.

Thalavara Illathonna
I’m just someone with a cursed destiny.

Pande Njaan Oru Vaazha
I’ve always been a useless ‘Vaazha’ plant.

Gunam Pidikkathoru Mona
I am a son who will never amount to anything.

Pande Njaan Oru Vaazha
I’ve always been completely useless.

Koode Kalichavarellam Ozhinju, Nattukaru Motham Kaliyakki Kalanju
All my childhood friends left me behind and moved on, and the whole town constantly made fun of me.

Gathikettavan Enna Perum Paranju, Podi Padalam Chuttinum Niranju
They labeled me as a man with no future, and I received nothing but dust in return.

Parachil Kettu Hridayam Potti, Ente Vidhi Nokki Kaiyum Ketti
Hearing their bitter words broke my heart, and I was left helplessly staring at my fate.

Viralum Thondi Kondirikkunnu Rotti, Veliyil Motham Korakkunna Patti
While eating dry bread, I chewed my nails and listened to the sound of dogs barking all around outside.

Thalavara Illathonna
I’m just someone with a cursed destiny.

Pande Njaan Oru Vaazha
I’ve always been a useless ‘Vaazha’ plant.

Gunam Pidikkathoru Mona
I’m a son who will never amount to anything.

Pande Njaan Oru Vaazha
I’ve always been completely useless.
