Thug Life Movie’s Muththa Mazhai Lyrics English Translation | Kalai Kanavil Kadhal Konden
Muthamazhai Ingu, Kotti Theeratho,
Will this rain of kisses not pour down endlessly here?
Mullai Iravugal, Pathi Eriyatho,
Will the ‘mullai’ ‘a fragrant jasmine-like flower often associated with romance and nights’ nights not ignite with passion?
Jaanu Dum Maaro Dum-Dum (Hindi line)
My darling, feel the thrill, like ‘D-m M-@ro D-m’ ‘a famous Hindi phrase, literally suggesting to take a puff, often used to express a sense of exhilaration or living in the moment’.
Ingu Unthan Kaiyil Sorgam,
Heaven is here in your hands.
Polla Iravo Solla Uravo,
Is it a mischievous night or an unspoken relationship,
Ella Oruvanai Vendiyengum,
this yearning for one particular person everywhere?
Sivam Kannaala, Ennaala Pennaala,
Oh ‘Sivam’ ‘a name for Lord Shiva, often invoked in contexts of awe or deep emotion’, my captivating-eyed one, my very own, my womanly beloved.
Innum Varum Enthan Kathai,
My story is still unfolding.
Theem Thom Tha,
Theem thom tha ‘rhythmic syllables in Indian classical music’.
Theem Thana Thom Thana Thom,
Theem thana thom thana thom ‘rhythmic syllables in Indian classical music’.
Theem Thana Thom Thana Theem Thana Thom,
Theem thana thom thana theem thana thom.

Whatever I attempt, I find no solution to unite us.
Kannaana Kanne En Kannaala,
Oh ‘kannana kannae’ ‘an endearment meaning precious one, akin to apple of my eye’, my beloved with captivating eyes,
En Ul Mana Kaadhalai Kandaaya,
Did you see the love within my heart?
Karu Mai Kanda Kannookki, Poi Solli Ninraaya,
Looking into my ‘karu mai’ ‘kohl-lined’ eyes, did you stand there telling a lie?
Podhum Podhum Ena Senraaya,
Did you leave, saying, ‘It is enough, it is enough’?
Kaadhal Vanthaalum Poonaalum, Pennenna Seivayo,
Whether love comes or goes, what will you do, oh woman?

Oh… like the shade of an oasis in a desert land,
Kaadhal Solven Naan, Kaadhal Solven,
I will speak of love; I will declare my love.
Moga Pani Poorvayil, Karam Korkaiyil,
As our hands entwine under a blanket of ‘moha’ ‘infatuation’s or strong desire’s’ mist,
Kaadhal Solven Kaathil, Kaadhal Solven,
I will speak of love; I will whisper love in your ear.
Naan Kaadhali Kaadhalan Nee,
I am the lover, and you are my beloved.
Veru Ellam Verum Vesham Enpen,
I would say everything else is just a pretense.
Vesham Enpen Verum Vesham Enpen,
We would say it is a pretense, just a mere pretense.
Kaalam Yaavum Neethane,
You are my entirety through all time.
Indha Kaalan Vanthaal Velvene,
If ‘Kaalan’ ‘the Hindu god of death’ comes, I will surely conquer him.
