♫ Tanglish lyrics
↻ English translation
Vaan thirakkindra pozhudhil
Oor ula varum nilaa
Naan ninaivennum padagil
Oor nirkkadha oonjala
Chinna chinna thavarugal
Mella kollum sirippugal
Konda ival paedhaiyo
Kannanin raadhai
Vaan thirakkindra pozhudhil…
Ennodu vanthadum megam
Kekkamal ketkkum oraayiram
Kaalgal pogum nooru paadhai
Thannaalae maarum endhan thevai
Nilladha pogatum penmaiyin aasaigal
Ellai indri thaan
Vaan thirakkindra pozhudhil
Oor ula varum nilaa
Naan ninaivennum padagil
Oor nirkkadha oonjala
Chinna chinna thavarugal
Mella kollum sirippugal
Konda ival paedhaiyo
Kannanin raadhai
As the sky opens up,
A moon wanders along.
On this boat of memories, am I
A swing that never comes to rest?
With little, simple mistakes
And smiles that softly take your breath away,
Is she just an innocent girl,
Or is she Krishna's Radha?
As the sky opens up...
The cloud that comes dancing with me
Listens to a thousand unsaid thoughts.
My feet wander down a hundred paths,
And my desires change all on their own.
Let a woman's wishes keep flowing,
Truly without any limits.
As the sky opens up,
A moon wanders along.
On this boat of memories, am I
A swing that never comes to rest?
With little, simple mistakes
And smiles that softly take your breath away,
Is she just an innocent girl,
Or is she Krishna's Radha?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song is a dreamy, poetic expression of a woman's inner thoughts, innocence, and romantic longing. As nature surrounds her with wandering moons and dancing clouds, she finds herself drifting in a ocean of memories, comparing her emotional state to a swing that never stays still. She contemplates her identity, asking whether she is merely a naive young woman charmed by small imperfections and intoxicating smiles, or Radha devoted to Krishna.
