Trivia
This track showcases Gangai Amaran's versatility as both composer and lyricist. It uniquely blends classical poetic Sanskritized Tamil terms like 'Jala Kireedai' and 'Adhiroopa' in the first half with earthy, colloquial rural Tamil imagery ('Potti kadai', 'Kattaang coffee', 'Tea adikkirapothu') in the second half.
