Hosanna
En maru idhayam tharuven nee udaikave
Hosanna... hosanna...
Hosanna... hosanna...
Andha neram andhi neram kanpaarthu
Kandhalaagi pona neram edho aache
Oh vaanam theendi vandhachu
Appavin thittuyellam kaatrodu poye poche
Hosanna - en vaasal thaandi ponaale
Hosanna - verondrum seyyaamale
Naan adi pogiren, sukunoor aagiren
Aval pona pinbu endhan nenjai thedi pogiren
Hosanna... Vaazhvukkum pakkam vandhen
Hosanna... saavukkum pakkam nindren
Hosanna... yen endral kaadhal enben
Hosanna...
Everybody wanna know
I feel like, I feel like I really wanna be here with you
It's not enough to know that we are made for each other
It's love that is Hosanna true... hosanna
Be there when you're callin' out me name... Hosanna
Be it like me whole life has changed
I never wanna be the same
It's time we rearrange
I take a step, you take a step, and we are callin' out to you
Hello... halo... halo... yo... hosanna...
Vanna vanna pattupoochi poothedi poothedi
Angum ingum alaigindradhe
Oh sottu sottaay thottu pona megam ondru megam ondru
Engengo nagargindradhe... hosanna
Pattupoochi vandhaacha... hosanna
Megam unnai thottaacha
Kilinjal aagiraay naan kuzhandhai aagiren
Naan unnai alli kayyil vaithu potthi kolgiren
Halo... halo... halo... yo... hosanna
Hosanna - En meedhu anbu kolla
Hosanna - Ennodu serndhu sella
Hosanna - Mm endru sollu podhum
Hosanna...
Yen idhayam udaithaay norungave
En maru idhayam tharuven nee udaikave
Yen idhayam udaithaay norungave
En maru idhayam tharuven nee udaikave

Toh Phir Aao
Toh phir aao... mujko rulaao...
Dil baadal bane, aankhein behen lage
Aahein aise utte, jaise aandhi chale
Toh phir aao... mujko sathaao...
Toh phir aao... mujko rulaao...
Aa bhi jao... aa bhi jao...
Aa bhi jao... aa bhi jao...
Gham le ja tere, jo bhi tu ne diye
Ya phir mujko bathaa, inko kaise sahein
Toh phir aao... mujko sathaao...
Toh phir aao... mujko rulaao...
Aa bhi jao... aa bhi jao...
Aa bhi jao... aa bhi jao...
Ab toh iss manzar se mujko chale jaana hai
Jin raahon pe mera yaar hai
Un raahon ko mujhe paana hai
Toh phir aao... mujko sathaao...
Toh phir aao... mujko rulaao...
Aa bhi jao... aa bhi jao...
Aa bhi jao... aa bhi jao...

Ennai Konjam
Uyirin Uyire
உயிரின் உயிரே, உயிரின் உயிரே
நதியின் மடியில் காத்துக் கிடைக்கின்றேன்
ஈர அலைகல் நீரை வாரி முகத்தில் இறைத்தும்
முழுதும் வேர்க்கின்றேன் [1]
The life-essence of life, the life-essence of life,
In the river’s lap, I lay there awaiting,
rows of cool waves, parting its way through the water, splashing my face,
completely perspiring.
நகரும் நெருப்பாய் கொழுந்து விட்டெரிந்தேன்
அணைந்த பின்பும், அனலின் மேலிருந்தேன்
காலைப் பனியாக என்னை வாரிகொண்டாய் [2]
All fire, blades of flame, I cut and threw away{?}
Even after [they've been] snuffed out, [I am] on top of the hot air
In the form of the morning mist, You whisked (swept) me away.
நேரம் கூட எதிரி ஆகிவிட,
யுகங்களாக வேடம் மாறிவிட,
அணைத்து கொன்டாயே, பின்பு ஏனோ சென்றாய் [3]
Time passes by, flowing against me
yugas pass by, the Vedas change
Took hold of me, only to later abandoned me, for whatever reason.
சுவாசம் இன்றி தவக்கிறேனே,
உனது மூச்சில் பிழைக்கிறேனே
இதழ்களை இதழ்களால் நிரப்பிட வா பெண்ணே [4]
I quiver/struggle as the prana ebbs away
Only by your breath I survive (sustain)
Your lips fill my lips, come Girl!
நினைவு எங்கோ நீந்திச் செல்ல
கனவு வந்து கண்ணைக் கிள்ள
நிழல் எது நிஜம் எது குழம்பினேன் வா பெண்ணே [5]
Memories going away, fading (swimming) out of me,
[Wake me] out of my dream, pinch my cheek.
What is shadow? what is real? I am confused, come Girl!
காற்றில் எந்தன் கைகள் இரண்டும்
உன்னை அன்றி யாரைத் தேடும்
விலகிப் போகாதே, தொலைந்து போவேனே,
நான்…நான்…நான் [6]
In the wind my two hands [reach out]
who else besides you it looks for [to behold]?
Don’t pass by without noticing me! I will be lost!
thyself… thyself… thyself…
இரவின் போர்வை என்னை சூழ்ந்து
மெல்ல மெல்ல மூடும் தாழ்ந்து
விடியலைத் தேடினேன் உன்னிடம் வா பெண்ணே [7]
The blanket of night surrounds (covers) me,
little by little closes in low [on me]
In the dark I searched, come Girl!
பாதம் எங்கும் சாவின் ரணங்கள்
நரகம் ஆகும் காதல் கணங்கள்
ஒருமுறை மடியிலே உறங்குவேன் வா பெண்ணே [8]
Footprints of death’s wounds {?}
Into ash/hell, the angels of love
Just once let me sleep in your lap, come Girl!
தாமதிக்கும் ஒவொரு கணமும்
தவணை முறையில் மரணம் நிகழும்
அருகில் வாராயோ விரல்கள் தாரயோ [9]
I envision (acknowledge/respect) you in every second (instance)
in that way death closes in {?}
Won’t you come close, won’t you give your hand (fingers)?
Wow, incredible translation done by Pari's blog. I had to get some help as I couldn't understand the full meaning of the song. My mother tongue is Tamil, yet there is some old Tamil involved in this song, so I couldn't understand it properly. In any case, outstanding translation.
In other notes, this song has always been one of my favorites since I heard one of its friends, Ennai Konjam Maatri, which I will be posting next. I love the way the music and lyrics just flow into you, and you can't help it but sing, and the one thing that really took me by surprise is when I was just merely humming this song, my sister heard and immediately wanted to listen to the song; the song is that good. Hats off to Karthik, the singer, and hats off to Rahman. Also the Gibberish by Sunitha Sarathy is quite nice. I say gibberish, because I have no clue what she is saying (no offense).
