| Ninaivugal Lyrics - Captain | Yuvan Shankar Raja |
Introduction
"Ninaivugal" is a reflective Tamil song from the film Captain, sung by Yuvan Shankar Raja. Written by Madan Karky with music composed by D. Imman, the song is a gentle meditation on memories — how moments pass, how some stay golden in our eyes, and how a person lives on in the memories of others.
The Song
Ninaivugal means "memories", and Madan Karky's lyrics treat memory with rare philosophical tenderness. The eye wonders what the next moment holds and preserves the passing one as gold; new moments bloom as old ones fade; and in the end, the song concludes, the only way to live beyond oneself is to become a memory in someone else's heart. D. Imman's soft, flowing composition gives the words room to breathe.
The Artist
Yuvan Shankar Raja lends the song his warm, unhurried voice, perfectly suited to its nostalgic mood. Lyricist Madan Karky — known for bringing science, philosophy and fresh imagery into Tamil film songs — writes some of his most introspective lines here, while composer D. Imman frames them in a delicate, melody-first arrangement.
The Music Video
The official lyric video, released on the Think Music India channel, presents the song from Captain — director Shakti Soundar Rajan's sci-fi action film starring Arya and Aishwarya Lekshmi — and has gathered close to two million views.
The Music Label
The Captain soundtrack is released by Think Music India, one of Tamil cinema's leading music labels.

Ninaivugal Lyrics in Tamil
அடுத்த அடுத்த நொடி என்னென்று
அதை அறிய துடிக்கும் விழியே
முடிந்த முடிந்த நொடி பொன்னென்று
அதை நினைவில் பதிக்கும் விழியே
புதியென பூத்திடும்போதெல்லாமே
பழயென நீங்கிடும் தன்னாலே
இது வரை வாழ்ந்த உன் வாழ்வெல்லாமே
நொடி போலே கண்ணின் முன்னாலே
நினைவுகள் பொன் நினைவுகள்
விழியிலே உன் விழியிலே
நினைவுகள் பொன் நினைவுகள்
வழியிலே உன் வழியிலே
விடியல் விடியல் எனும் கோலாலே
தினம் விழியாய் திறக்கும் உலகம்
துணிவை அணிந்து அதில் போனாலே
கடும் பனியில் திரையும் விலகும்
நினைவுகள் பொன் நினைவுகள்
உன் விழியிலே உன் விழியிலே
முதல் முதல் நினைவெது
இறுதியின் நினைவெது
ரெண்டும் என்றும் இல்லை
ஹே ரெண்டும் தேவை இல்லை
நடுவினில் வருவதும்
நிலைப்பதும் மறப்பதும்
உந்தன் கையில் இல்லை
ஹே முயல்வதும் தொல்லை
நீரோடையில் பிடிக்கிற மீனாக
உன் கையிலே ஒன்று
கையை விட்டு நழுவிடும் மீனாக
வீணானதோ ஒன்று
முடிந்தும் நீ தொடர்ந்திட ஒரு வழியே
பிறரது நினைவுகளாய்
நினைவுகள் பொன் நினைவுகள்
விழியிலே உன் விழியிலே
நிகழும் நிகழும் இந்த நாள் ஒன்றில்
ஒரு நினைவு நினைவு மலரும்
நிலவு நிலவு என தேய்ந்தே தான்
சில நினைவு நினைவு உதிரும்
புதையலிலே விழும் வைரம் போலே
மனதினிலே விழும் ஓர் நினைவு
இமை தடுத்தும் விழும் கண்ணீர் போலே
வெளியேறும் மறு நினைவு
நினைவுகள் பொன் நினைவுகள்
விழியிலே உன் விழியிலே
நினைவுகள் பொன் நினைவுகள்
வழியிலே உன் வழியிலே

Ninaivugal Lyrics English Translation
What will the next, next moment be? — the eye longs to know it.
The moment that has passed is gold — the eye imprints it in memory.
Whenever the new blooms, the old fades away by itself.
All the life you have lived so far passes before your eyes in a single moment.
Memories, golden memories — in your eyes, in your eyes.
Memories, golden memories — on your path, on your path.
Calling it dawn, dawn, the world opens its eyes each day.
Wear courage and walk on — even in harsh frost, the screen will lift.
Memories, golden memories — in your eyes, in your eyes.
What is the first memory? What is the final memory?
Neither truly exists — hey, neither is needed.
What comes in between, what stays and what is forgotten,
Is not in your hands — hey, even striving is a burden.
Like a fish caught in a stream, one is in your hand;
Like a fish slipping from your hand, another is wasted.
Even after you end, there is one way to live on —
As the memories of others.
Memories, golden memories — in your eyes.
In this one day that keeps unfolding, one memory blooms;
Waning like the moon, some memories fall away.
Like a diamond falling into a treasure, one memory falls into the heart;
Like a tear that falls despite the eyelid, another memory leaves.
Memories, golden memories — in your eyes.
Memories, golden memories — on your path.
Ninaivugal Lyrics Meaning in English
"Ninaivugal" means "memories", and the song is Madan Karky's quiet philosophy of time set to music. The eyes are its central image: they ache to know the next moment and treasure the passing one as gold. Nothing is fully in our control — what arrives, what stays and what is forgotten is not in our hands. Memories behave like fish in a stream: one is caught, another slips away; one falls into the heart like a diamond into treasure, another leaves like a tear the eyelid cannot hold. The song's most moving thought is its last: even when a life ends, it continues — as a memory living in others.
