Making the couch blush in shyness
As your hand touches me too
As my peacock-like body dances over your shoulder

For you to rest all day long
The Tamil maiden's waist searches
Won't an auspicious union take place?
Ah my beloved, if you gently...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is the dramatic and classical climax piece from Chandramukhi (2005). Written as a dialogue and expressive dance performance of the spirit of Chandramukhi, the lyrics articulate her deep royal romance, unfulfilled longing, and tragic obsession with King Vettaiyan. It weaves rich classical imagery of Tamil poetry—comparing the heroine to a peacock and wild deer—with intense physical and spiritual desire spanning across seven births.

Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uvamaani)

Second-letter Rhyme (Edhukai)
The second consonants 'ra' match across adjacent lines ('Sarasamum' /
Onomatopoeia and Solkattu
“Thaam tharigida Dheem tharigida”
