Hithe Thiyan Inna Lyrics

Even if time passes,
a turn will come round,
just like that day, again
we will draw close,
the whispered love-tales
end today,
but one day, again,
I will come into your memory….

“Keep it in your heart:
one day, be mine again,
I can wait, right here,
in the very same place, until you come….”

Still I love you,
though you have gone so far,
you are near, in my life, and you
don’t yet know it,
and if I win you back again, truly,
that heart of yours…
I would give my life, though you don’t know,
that little bit is you…

The days that slipped away in secret,
even the stars must know,
though we’re not close now, you
stay here, in this chest…
if you come back, truly,
my little life will return…
I would give my life, though you don’t know,
that little bit is you…

A tender song of waiting and hope, addressed to a love that has drifted away. Even if time passes, the singer believes, a turn will come round, and one day they will draw close again just like before; the whispered love-tales may be ending now, but someday, he says, I will come into your memory again. It is heartbreak that refuses to give up on the future.

The chorus is the whole song’s promise, and its patience: keep it in your heart, one day be mine again; I can wait, right here in the very same place, until you come. He asks for nothing but the chance, and offers, in return, simply to stay put and wait.

The rest lays his devotion bare. Still I love you, he says, though you’ve gone so far; you are close to me in life even if you don’t yet know it; and if he wins her back, that heart of hers is everything, I would give my life, that little bit is you. The days lost in secret, he adds, even the stars remember. Sung by Manjula Pushpakumara to words by Sheva, it is a gentle, faithful song about loving someone who has left, and waiting, without bitterness, in the same spot, for them to return.
