Azhage Azhage Lyrics Translation (from “Pillai Nila”)
Vairamuthu’s lyrics present a direct invitation. The male voice asks the ‘beauty’ to “come with me,” stating love’s intoxication needs more than glances. The female voice acknowledges her “first spring” of physical awakening.
Azhage Azhage Ennodu VaMy beauty, my beauty, come with me.
Azhage Azhage Ennodu VaMy beauty, my beauty, come with me.
Kadhal Mogam Parvaiyale TheerathuThe intoxication of love cannot be quenched by mere glances.
