The lyrics of “Oru Oorula Raja” depict a king burdened by his role and isolated from his subjects. Despite his position of power, he feels trapped between the sky and the earth, his tales filled with sorrow. The chaotic scenes of animals and the breaking of the dinner pot symbolize the unpredictability and fragility of leadership. The king’s knowledge of the world’s suffering weighs heavily on him, leading to a sense of despair. He must maintain a facade of royalty, even as he dances a mad jig to escape his pain. The song offers a complex and sympathetic portrayal of a king who is more victim than victor, ultimately urging the listener to escape the harsh realities of the world.
Oru Oorula Raja Lyrics English Translation – Vaazhai | Santhosh Narayanan
Oru Oorula Raja Oruthan Irundhaanam
Andha Raja Sollura Kadhaiyellam Kannirdhaanam
Oru Oorula Raja Oruthan Irundhaanam
Andha Raja Sollura Kadhaiyellam Kannirdhaanam
Once upon a time, there lived a king.
The stories he told were filled with tears.
Once upon a time, there lived a king.
The stories he told were filled with tears.
Avan Nimirthu Paarttha Vaanam
Kuninji Paarttha Bhoomi
Idayil Avandhaan Paaram
Kaal Nadakka Nadakka Neelum Dooram
The world below and the sky above,
He was the burden in between.
The longer the journey, the farther the end.
Oru Oorula Raja
Oorula Oru Kaakka Iruthuchaan
There lived a king…
There was a crow in the village.
Kaakka Kadha Kaekkum Podhu
Yaanai Moonju Theriyudhu
Yaanai Kadha Kaekkum Podhu
Pona Satham Kaekkudhu
Upon hearing the story of the crow,
The elephant’s face comes to mind.
But the moment the elephant’s tale is told,
The cat begins to meow.
Poonai Kadha Kaekkum Podhu
Theru Naai Korakkudhu, Velau Naai Korakka Korakka
Velau Velau Velau, Naai Korakka Velau Velau
When the cat heard the story, the street dog began to bark.
As the stray dog kept barking, woof, woof, woof,
The dog continued to bark, woof, woof.
Kaakka Koottam Sitharudhu
Yaanai Koottam Meraludhu
Poonai Vandhu Pirandhudhu
Sothu Paanai Udaiyudhu Udaiyudhu Udaiyudhu
Raja Veettu Sothu Paana Udaiyudhu Udaiyudhu
The flock of crows scatters away.
The herd of elephants turns wild… The cat flees with its claws.
The food vessel shatters; it breaks apart and bursts open.
The king’s food vessel shatters…
Rajavukku Valikkudhu
Kazhuthellam Kanakkudhu
Kazhuthellam Kanakkudhu
Thanneer Kaekkudhu Kannir Pongudhu
Andha Raja Sollura Kadhaiyellam Kannirdhaanam
Once upon a time, there lived a king.
The tales he told were full of tears.
Once upon a time, there lived a king.
The tales he told were full of tears.
Avan Nimirthu Paarttha Vaanam
Kuninji Paarttha Bhoomi, Idayil Avandhaan Paaram
Kaal Nadakka Nadakka Neelum Dooram
The world below and the sky above,
He was the burden in between.
The longer the journey, the farther the end…
Ey Innum Kadha Kaelu
Namma Raja Kadha Kaelu
Ey Innum Kadha Kaelu
Namma Raja Kadha Kaelu
Listen to the narrative…
Listen to our king’s tale.
Listen to the narrative…
Listen to our king’s tale.
Komali Raja Avan Thindaattaam Poduraan
Oor Koodi Paakkum Podhu Kuthaattaam Aaduran
Kuthaattaam Aaduran
Andha Raja Sollura Kadhaiyellam Kannirdhaanam
He is a clownish king.
Look at his agony.
When the townsfolk gather around him, he performs a mad dance.
The stories the king told were filled with tears.
Avan Nimirthu Paarttha Vaanam
Kuninji Paarttha Bhoomi
Idayil Avandhaan Paaram
Kaal Nadakka Nadakka Neelum Dooram
When he looked up, he saw the sky.
When he looked down, he saw the earth.
In between them, he was the burden.
As he kept moving, the distance only grew.
Oru Oorula Raja Oruthan Irundhaanam
Andha Raja Sollura Kadhaiyellam Kannirdhaanam
In a village, there was a king. Every story the king told was filled with tears.
Avan Nimirthu Paarttha Vaanam
Kuninji Paarttha Bhoomi
Idayil Avandhaan Paaram
Kaal Nadakka Nadakka Neelum Dooram
The world below and the sky above,
He was the burden in between.
The longer the journey, the farther the end…
Once upon a time, there lived a king.
Ele Nee Ippa Kanna Moodi Thoongu
Raja Kadha Romba Neelam
Neeyum Kanna Moodi Thoongu
Close your eyes and go to sleep, little one.
The king’s tale is too long.
Close your eyes and go to sleep, little one.
