Nenje ezhu - Mariyaan - A R Rahman

This song is more like a morale booster for the protagonist of the film. It calls out to the protagonist's soul, to rise up, above the ashes like a phoenix, and comforts it that the love it carries, can never be destroyed, even if every truth on this Earth becomes false.

ayiram sooriyan suttalum
(Even if a thousand suns burn you...)
karunaiyin vannam karainthalum
(Even if mercy/compassion loses its lustre)...
vaan varai adharmam aandalum
(Even if injustice rises up to the sky...)
manitham manbai maranthalum
(Even if humans forget humanity....)
valiyaal un uyir theynthaalum
(Even if your soul wears down with pain....)
un kadhal azhiyaathey...!
(The love (you have/in you) will not be destroyed...)

nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
(Oh heart/soul, rise up...!)
Kadhal endrum azhivadhillai....!
(Love can never be destroyed....!)
iruvar vaanam verendralum..
(Even if skies are different for both of you... i.e. both male and female protagonists... this line means even if lovers are in different worlds)
un nenjinil ninaivugal azhinthaalum...
(Even if the memories fade away from your heart...)
paruvangal uruvam marinalum
(Even if the seasons change forms...)
kuzhandai sirikka maranthalum
(Even if the child forgets how to smile...)
iyarkaiyin vithi thadam purandaalum
(Even if the laws of nature stop working...)
un kadhal azhiyaathey
(The love (you have / in you) will not be destroyed...!!

nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
(Oh heart/soul, rise up...!)
Kadhal endrum azhivadhillai....!
(Love can never be destroyed....!)
anjaathey thunjaathey
(Don't have fear... don't bog down....(actually I don't know the meaning of thunjathey)
ini endrum illai vethanai
(Now there is no more pain/sorrow...)
puthithay pirappay
(You will be born a new you... / you will resurrect yourself...)
vazhi engum un mun poo mazhai
(your paths will be laden with rains of flowers...)
annalum un kathal, ithu vaazhum sathiyame, tholaiyaathey, entha iruLilum maraiyathey
(Even in the future, this is everlasting truth, your love will never get lost, it will never fade away in any kind of darkness)

nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
(Oh heart/soul, rise up...!)
Kadhal endrum azhivadhillai....!
(Love can never be destroyed....!)
ayiram sooriyan suttalum
(Even if a thousand suns burn you...)
karunaiyin vannam karainthalum
(Even if mercy/compassion loses its lustre)...
valiyaal un uyir theynthaalum
(Even if your soul wears down with pain....)
un kadhal azhiyaathey...!
(The love (you have/in you) will not be destroyed...)


nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
nenje, ezhu...!
(Oh heart/soul, rise up...!)
Kadhal endrum azhivadhillai....!
(Love can never be destroyed....!)
