Song Meaning of “Vathilil” by Haricharan
“Vathilil” by Haricharan is a soulful song about the pain of unrequited love where a person is still journeying through life without their beloved by their side, despite the fact that they still yearn and long for the person deeply. The song itself is a reminder to be strong and to carry on despite the pain.
The song starts off with a pained plea, “Kannil neer moolunnoru…Unnil changi tholunnoru…” which translates to “let the tears rain down and let me be able to speak without my beloved.” It’s clear from the start that the singer is in immense pain and agony, longing for the person that once meant so much to them. They recognize that their beloved is nowhere to be found, a fact that makes the pain and loneliness even greater. In the chorus, “Vathilil, ennodivarak none…Vathilil, en manassil thedi none” the singer is mourning the fact that no matter how hard they try, they are still all alone.
The second verse speaks of how the singer still yearns for the person they love, despite knowing that the beloved will never return.
