மூடு பனிக்குள்
ஓடி திரியும்
மேகம் போல மயக்க நிலை
Inside the thick fog
Wandering around running
A dizzying state like a cloud
தேடி அலைந்தும்
நேரில் கிடைத்தும்
தென்படாத உறவு முறை
Even after searching and wandering
Even when found in person
A relationship that remains intangible
இனைதிருந்தும் சேராது
சேர்ந்திருந்தும் இணையாது
கனவு வரும் உறங்காது
Even if united, it does not merge
Even if joined, it does not connect
Dreams arrive, yet there is no sleep
மூடு பனிக்குள்
ஓடி திரியும்
மேகம் போல மயக்க நிலை
Inside the thick fog
Wandering around running
A dizzying state like a cloud
தேடி அலைந்தும்
நேரில் கிடைத்தும்
தென்படாத உறவு முறை
Even after searching and wandering
Even when found in person
A relationship that remains intangible
மாயை போல
யாவும் தோன்றும்
மாறி போகும்
மனம் முழுதும்
Like an illusion
Everything appears
And changes away
Throughout the entire mind
போக போக
கை தொடாமல்
தூரம் போகும்
தொடும் பொழுதும்
As time goes by
Without hands touching
It drifts far away
Even when touched
வலி தெரியும் புரியாது
பகல் இருந்தும் விடியாது
இந்த மயக்கம் தெளியாது
The path is visible, yet incomprehensible
Though it is day, dawn does not break
This trance does not clear
.....................................................
Haa…aaa…aaa…aaa
Haa…aaa…aaa…aaa…aaa…
Haa…aaa…aaa…aaa
Haa…aaa…aaa…aaa…aaa…
பூவில் விழுந்த
நீரை போல
பூத்ததென்ன பரவசங்கள்
Thana nan nan
Thanna nanna naana naa
Thana naa nan
Thanna nanna naana naa
நாவில் எழுந்த
நாத அலைகள்
நாணம் இல்லா அறுசுவைகள்
Haa…aaa…aaa..
Haa…aaa…aaa…aaa…aaa…
Haa…aaa…aaa…aaa aaa
Haa…aaa…aaa…
விழுந்ததனால் மெழுகாணோம்
எழுந்ததனால் எழுத்தானோம்
கரைகளினால் கருத்தானோம்
Fallen on a flower
Like water droplets
Why did ecstasies blossom?
.............................................
Arising on the tongue
Waves of sound
Unabashed six tastes of life
Because of falling, we melted like wax
Because of rising, we became written words
Because of shores, we became deep thoughts
Haa…aaa…aaa…aaa
Haa…aaa…aaa…aaa…aaa…
Haa…aaa…aaa…aaa
Haa…aaa…aaa…aaa…aaa…

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Moodu Panikkul from Thirudan Police is a melancholic and atmospheric song capturing a state of emotional disorientation and elusive love. The song portrays feelings that are trapped like a cloud lost inside heavy fog—ever-present yet intangible. Despite being close, the lovers experience a paradoxical distance where dreams exist without sleep, and light brings no clarity. Na. Muthu Kumar's poetic verses emphasize the illusionary nature of emotions, comparing them to water on a flower petal and melting wax, capturing the bitter-sweet intoxication of unspoken affection.
