Pettikadai’s Aasaiya Aasaiya Tamil Lyrics English Meaning
Snehan compares physical ache to a writhing snake and names the lover ‘sun of the night.’ Ghoshal requests to dissolve into her partner like a child seeking comfort.
Aasaiya AasaiyaWith such deep desire,

Kulantha Pola MadiyilaI want to rest in your lap just like a child.

Thorkireane NaanadaI’m completely surrendering myself.
