Oorellaam thoonguthu unna mattum kaanala
Manaseno yaenguthu kanni manam thaangala
Oorellaam thoonguthu unna mattum kaanala
Manaseno yaenguthu kanni manam thaangala
Oorellaam thoonguthu unna mattum kaanala

Inneram engae nee rasavae Ingaethaan vaaduthu rosavae
Oorellaam thoonguthu unna mattum kaanala
Manaseno yaenguthu kanni manam thaangala
Ooooo…oo…ooo…oo
Unnaththaan nenachchu aasa vachchaen
Adha sollaththaan thavichchu thoodhu vittaen
Pennukku nenappae paavam endraal
Intha paruvam vanthathil niyaayam enna
Ennuyuir dheepanthaan kaaththula vaadaththaan
Ennuyuir dheepanthaan kaattrilthaan aaduthu
En mana koottilthaan soganthaan paaduthu
Intha thunbam vaattuthennai en rasa
Oorellaam thoonguthu unna mattum kaanala
Manaseno yaenguthu kanni manam thaangala
Muththuthaan sippiyil piranthathenna

Soodiya koondhalilae poovumilla vaasamilla
Naanum seitha paavamella en rasa
Oorellaam thoonguthu unna mattum kaanala
Manaseno yaenguthu kanni manam thaangala
Inneram engae nee rasavae Ingaethaan vaaduthu rosavae
Oorellaam thoonguthu unna mattum kaanala
Manaseno yaenguthu kanni manam thaangala
Song Meaning & Analysis
The song "Oorellam Thoonguthu" is a poignant lament from a woman expressing her deep longing and anguish for her absent beloved. As the entire town sleeps peacefully, her heart remains restless, yearning for her 'king' (rasavae). She questions his whereabouts, feeling like a wilting rose without his presence, highlighting her emotional vulnerability and the intensity of her affection. The repeated chorus emphasizes her constant state of yearning and inability to find solace.
The lyrics delve into her unfulfilled desires and a sense of injustice. She speaks of harboring desires for him and sending messages, questioning why a woman's thoughts of love should be considered a sin, especially when youth brings such strong emotions. Her life is depicted as a flickering lamp in the wind, and her heart a cage where only sorrow resides. She uses metaphors of pearls from oysters and lotuses from mud to illustrate her hopes, only to find her efforts yielding empty shells and unfragrant adornments, leading her to question what sin she might have committed to deserve such torment. The song beautifully captures the pain of separation and unrequited longing.
