Anirudh Ravichander | Kanaa – Othaiyadi Pathayila Lyrics ( English Translation )
I wander through the narrow lanes, searching for you,
I pine and long for you, my fragrant flower, it’s true.
The scent of this maiden makes my senses sway,
I wish to be the jewelry on her neck, I pray.
Oh, you sweet, enchanting girl, let’s set a wedding day,
O my beloved!
You are the marigold blooming on my way,
You are the garland for my eyes, I say.
Look at me, oh fragrant bud,
You are the comfort of a mother’s love, my blood.
Beauty, beauty, you beautiful maiden,
A pearl so precious, on this earth you’re gladen.
I follow you like a shadow, your reflection in the light,
Just look at me once, is that not my right?
I wander through the narrow lanes, searching for you,
I pine and long for you, my fragrant flower, it’s true.
Dhum Dhum Dha Rae Ro,
Dhum Dharae Dhum Dharae…
So often, you pass by without a single glance,
My longing grows like rust on iron, given the chance.
I would give my very life for you, I swear,
Yet I am frozen, trembling, too scared to dare.
Oh my life, my life, you are my life,
You are my whole world, come end my strife.
My heart is glass, please don’t play your games and break it,
Don’t make me suffer, my dear, for heaven’s sake.
I wander through the narrow lanes, searching for you,
I pine and long for you, my fragrant flower, it’s true.
Hey, the scent of this woman swirls in my heart, my wild jasmine bloom!
The sight of her blinds my eyes, my love’s divine perfume!
I want to fly free like a bird, will you come along with me?
Dhum Dhum Dha Rae Ro,
Dhum Dharae Dhum Dharae…
I wander through the narrow lanes, searching for you,
I pine and long for you, my fragrant flower, it’s true.
The scent of this maiden makes my senses sway,
I wish to be the jewelry on her neck, I pray.
Oh, you sweet, enchanting girl,
Let’s set a wedding day, my precious pearl.
Musical Interlude: Sa Dha Ni Sa…
You are the marigold blooming on my way,
You are the garland for my eyes, I say.
Look at me, oh fragrant bud,
You are the comfort of a mother’s love, my blood.
Beauty, beauty, you beautiful maiden,
A pearl so precious, on this earth you’re gladen.
I follow you like a shadow, your reflection in the light,
Just look at me once, grant me this sight.
I wander through the narrow lanes, searching for you,
I pine and long for you, my fragrant flower, it’s true.
Dhum Dhum Dha Rae Ro,
Dhum Dharae Dhum Dharae…
So often, you pass by without a single glance,
My longing grows like rust on iron, given the chance.
I would give my very life for you, I swear,
Yet I am frozen, trembling, too scared to dare.
Oh my life, my life, you are my life,
You are my whole world, come end my strife.
My heart is glass, please don’t play your games and break it,
Don’t make me suffer, my dear, for heaven’s sake.
I wander through the narrow lanes, searching for you,
I pine and long for you, my fragrant flower, it’s true.
Hey, the scent of this woman swirls in my heart, my wild jasmine bloom!
The sight of her talks and blinds my eyes, my dazzling diamond in the gloom!
I want to fly free like a bird, will you come along with me?
Dhum Dhum Dha Rae Ro,
Dhum Dharae Dhum Dharae.
