Parai Song Lyrics – Sean Roldan (Think Originals)

Pappara, para para
Pappara, para para

Pappara, para para
Thaththara, thaa

Adhikkum irukkudha nadakkudha
Boomiye paadura paadula thaan
En parai saththamum ketkudha
Vekkuthe ennai thalli thaan
Poi kadhai onnu solli thaan

#Is subjugation, come what may still the order of the day?
In every song Mother Earth hums daily anew
Can you hear my drum’s heartbeat too?
You alienate me without a doubt
With fabricated tales, day in and day out#

Kannula eeramum kaayala kaayala
Mannula manishanum maarala
Kannula eeramum kaayala kaayala
Mannula manishanum maarala

#Our eyes are not dry as yet lashed still woeful and wet
Even mankind sticks to the same mindset
We are teary-eyed, grief-stricken still with drops of pain waiting to spill
Even mankind sticks to the same mindset#

Pappara, para para
Pappara, para para

Theemaiyum onguthu
Needhiyum thoonguthu
Saadhiyum onnu thaan vaazhuthu

#Sinfulness runs deep
Justice too is sleep
Only caste-ism thrives entrenched all over#

Saamiyum mounam thaan kaakuthu saagura
Koottam thaan kelvigal ketkudhu 

#God as our protector remains a silent spectator
Only a clan that dies asks questions otherwise#

Ethanai kaalam odiyum
En kadhai soga kaaviyam
Ini pogura paadhai porkalam
En kookural ketkum naal varum

#Through decades of exile and exclusion
My story is an epic inked with dejection
The path now in sight to wage a war for our right
Soon a silver lining for the oppressed when my lament will be addressed#

Kannula eeramum kaayala kaayala
Mannula manishanum maarala
Kannula eeramum kaayala kaayala
Mannula manishanum maarala

#Our eyes are not dry as yet lashed still woeful and wet
Even mankind sticks to the same mindset
We are teary-eyed, grief-stricken still with drops of pain waiting to spill
Even mankind sticks to the same mindset#

Kannula eeramum kaayala kaayala
Mannula manishanum maarala
Kannula eeramum kaayala kaayala
Mannula manishanum maarala

#Our eyes are not dry as yet lashed still woeful and wet
Even mankind sticks to the same mindset
We are teary-eyed, grief-stricken still with drops of pain waiting to spill
Even mankind sticks to the same mindset#

Pappara, para para
Pappara, para para

Pappara, para para
Thaththara, thaa

Adhikkum irukkudha nadakkudha
Boomiye paadura paadula thaan
En parai saththamum ketkudha
Vekkura ennai thalli thaan
Poi kadhai onnu solli thaan

#Is subjugation, come what may still the order of the day?
In every song Mother Earth hums daily anew
Can you hear my drum’s heartbeat too?
You alienate me without a doubt
With fabricated tales, day in and day out#

Kannula eeramum kaayala kaayala
Mannula manishanum maarala

We are teary-eyed, grief-stricken still with drops of pain waiting to spill
Even mankind sticks to the bigotry and bad will#
