Sung by four eyes looking at each other
The melody of love is forever an offering to Krishna
The new Ramayana is forever an offering to Krishna
When evening arrives
Man and woman together

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This romantic track from 'Rathapasam' (1980) portrays two lovers expressing their deep romantic longing and intimacy. They feel transported to a heavenly world whenever they share intimate secrets and affection with each other. Lyricist Kannadasan weaves together sensual passion with spiritual devotion, equating love and romantic union to sacred scriptures like the Ramayana and an offering to Lord Krishna. The lovers observe the world around them, reflecting on how nature—clouds, gardens, and flowing waters—transcends borders just like the universal language of love.
