யார் யாரோ எங்கேயோ
ஏதேதோ விதமானது
The beginning is sweet and pleasant
The mind has become filled with joy
The beginning is sweet and pleasant
The mind has become filled with joy
Various unknown people, somewhere in time
Became transformed in unexpected ways
ஆரம்பம் சுகமானது
ஆனந்தம் மனமானது
யார் யாரோ எங்கேயோ
ஏதேதோ விதமானது
The beginning is sweet and pleasant
The mind has become filled with joy
Various unknown people, somewhere in time
Became transformed in unexpected ways
கண்கள் தருவது காற்றில் வருவது
மௌனத்தில் உருவானது நினைவுக்கு விருந்தாவது
நேரம் போக நேரம் போக தனையே மறப்பது
That which the eyes offer
That which arrives riding on the breeze
That which takes shape in deep silence
That which becomes a feast for memories
As time rolls on, as time rolls on
Forgetting oneself completely
யார் யாரோ எங்கேயோ
ஏதேதோ விதமானது
Various unknown people, somewhere in time
Became transformed in unexpected ways
காமனின் அரண்மனை வாசலில்
ஒருவனைக் கண்டதும் தெளிவானது
நேரம் போக நேரம் போக தனையே மறப்பது
At the entrance of Cupid's grand palace
It became clear upon seeing a man
As time rolls on, as time rolls on
Forgetting oneself completely
ஆரம்பம் சுகமானது
ஆனந்தம் மனமானது
யார் யாரோ எங்கேயோ
ஏதேதோ விதமானது
The beginning is sweet and pleasant
The mind has become filled with joy
Various unknown people, somewhere in time
Became transformed in unexpected ways
காதலென்னும் ராஜாங்கத்தைக்
கைப்பிடித்துக் கொண்டது
காக்கை ஒன்று காத்திருந்து
கனி எடுத்துக் கொண்டது
The majestic kingdom known as love
It held onto tightly with hands
A crow waited patiently
And seized the ripe fruit for itself
உள்ளம் அந்தப் பெண்ணிடத்தில்
என்ன இன்பம் கண்டது
ஓரிடத்தில் ஆசைப்பட்டு
வேறிடத்தில் சென்றது
லாலலலாலா
What joy did the heart find
With that young woman
Desiring love in one place
It wandered away to another place
Lalala..lalala la..lalala
யார் யாரோ எங்கேயோ
ஏதேதோ விதமானது
Various unknown people, somewhere in time
Became transformed in unexpected ways

The beginning is sweet and pleasant
Aanandham manamaanadhu
The mind has become filled with joy
Aarambam sugamaanadhu

The beginning is sweet and pleasant
Aanandham manamaanadhu
The mind has become filled with joy
Yaar yaaro engeyoo

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Aarambam sugamaanadhu' from the 1969 film 'Magane Nee Vazhga' celebrates the magical, unpredictable nature of love and human connection. Sung beautifully by P. Susheela with lyrics by Kannadasan, the song describes how strangers from somewhere cross paths and undergo deep emotional transformations. As love blossoms, it brings silent glances, cherished memories, and total self-forgetfulness under the spell of Cupid. Kannadasan uses allegorical expressions to highlight the unpredictability of human desire and destiny, contrasting expectations with reality through the metaphor of a crow claiming a fruit. Set to T. R. Pappa's light, rhythmic melody, the song captures both the euphoria of new beginnings and the bitter-sweet ironies of romance.
