From Inside Me

Here I have attempted to translate the Tamil song, Ennullae ennullae from the movie Valli.

Music from Maestro Ilayaraja

Written by the Great Vaali

Sung by Swarnalatha

Every time I hear this song, Im reminded of Babuji Uncle, his guitar and our Spirited jam sessions. This song was close to his heart. I miss him.

Lyrics

The lyric by Vaali is the epitome expression of Ecstasy. Music, extraordinary.

Let me know how I fared..

From inside me

The insides of me

Even sky breaks free

Through lightenings many

To somewhere far yonder

My thoughts do wander

I mindlessly ponder

A wordless blabber

Is this my spell of

Ecstasy in grandeur..

A hundred moons on skies

Lit up nights, my two eyes

But my insides burn hot,

Every vein in music amuse

Rivers run into deep abyss

Yet I’m parched on thirst

Rain-laden clouds too

Tall fires they spew

Desire they get me settled

Baffled to see them kindle

From me, now I beseech

When Life changeth form

One to other give warmth

In unison comes Bliss

With flesh thou shalt grind

United, like a mesh, we find

Deep insights, like Gems.

Oh Chariots of time,

stay in the Now

Live this very moment of Love

Need I show another Eden,

but How?
