Paalum (Tamilian Waltz)

from PaGLi by Tritha

/

about

This concluding track of the album is called "Paalam" meaning bridge in Tamil.
Beginning with a young time, this song starts taking little hands refering to a little girl's innocence in her early life,, how she keeps crossing bridges in life and experiences like heart breaks, seperation changes her, hardens her sometimes...
Starting in her fading memory of the language Tamil which Tritha learnt spending her early childhood in chennai, the next lines in Hindi having a very plaintive feel of desertion. trying to bridge back into the original innocence in the end, referring to old age and back to the start.

lyrics

Paalum polasiya (Bridge story)
Chinna chinna kaigal (Little little hands)

Yaad aati lamhe ek sang guzaare
(Remembering nostalgic moments spent together)
Jaaungi mein kaise apne ghar
(How will I go back to my own house now which feels foreign)
Tu kab aaye
(When did u come?)
Tu kab aaye
(When did you came?)

Hayo rabba tere pyaar me
(O my beautiful God, in your Love)
Ye dil huyi khaali rabba
(My heart has now become empty)
Kab aaye
(When you came)
Tu kab aaye
(When did you come?)

Paalum Polasiya
Bridge story)
Polasi...
(A story unfinished or finished ??)
