Ponman’s Aarbhadam Lyrics Translation
The description of this person’s power grows throughout the song. One line states his walk lets him hold the world in his palm, while his talk casually spreads fire. Another section uses cosmic imagery, where the sky is his bedsheet and the clouds are his blanket.
Pada Padayennu ThudiyadichittuWith a heart that pounds and thumps
Peruthu Pongana He-ManHe’s a he-man, swelling with might
Shara Shara Para Kara VirappichuMaking the land tremble with a rustle
Thengumme Keranee ThoofanThis storm climbs the coconut tree
Kada Kada Kada Kadakku VekkenaWith sharp, cracking words
Vaakkukaloothana Thee MaanHe’s a man of fire, breathing them out
Ponnu Velakkana EmaanA faith that yields pure gold

The lyrics consistently use comparisons to storms, fire, and emperors to build this figure’s identity. This creates a clear declaration of a man who operates beyond normal rules. The meaning of the ‘Aarbhadam’ lyrics is to construct an anthem for a mythic, unstoppable persona.
