Running along with the wind, the rain
reaches the earth.
Chorus: Reaches the earth.
Female: Taking on some new form,
it goes on living.
Chorus: It goes on living.
O radiant girl, you are the way.
You are the open sky glowing with light.
A lamp's flame cannot make a flower bloom.
If you become the dawn, darkness will never settle.
This too shall pass.
This too shall pass.
If you cherish yourself and live fully within yourself,
this loneliness itself becomes comforting.
If you smile through sorrow and face every hardship,
even a single moment feels complete.
What will ever change through grief?
Will shedding tears make a plant bloom?
What is there to lose? Come, let us live and see.
Somewhere, the life you search for every day
is searching for you.
When your time arrives,
it will reach you.
O radiant girl, contradictions will not change.
If your mind is clear, confusion will not arise.
Beautiful light, do not despair.
The path cannot bear the craving for pity.
This too shall pass.
This too shall pass.
This too shall pass.
This too shall pass.
This too shall pass.
It will pass.
It will pass.
It will pass.
It will pass.
It will pass.
It will... pass away...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Idhuvum Kadandhu Pogum is a deeply comforting philosophical track from the film Netrikann (2021). The song revolves around the timeless adage 'This too shall pass,' offering solace, hope, and resilience during times of immense adversity and emotional loneliness. It encourages self-love, optimism, and acceptance of life's natural flow, reminding the listener that pain is temporary and destiny will unfold at the right time. Composed by Girishh Gopalakrishnan with evocative lyrics by Karthik Netha, the track is beautifully rendered by veteran musician Bombay Jayashri alongside her son Amrit Ramnath. The poetic imagery compares human resilience to natural phenomena like rain, light, and the dawn, reinforcing the idea that darkness can never overcome a soul that radiates its own light.
