Azhagu Laila Ennaik Lyrics Meaning A. P. Komala | Baghdad Thirudan
Laila attributes her hesitation to ‘unknown age’ and new feelings. She admits his ‘dashing charm’ makes her heart do a somersault. Her praise compares the admirer’s beauty to divine creation.
Azhagu Lailaa Ennai KanduSeeing the beautiful Laila,
Aasai Konda MajnuvaeYou’ve become a ‘Majnu’ in love.
Aalai Kollum PaarvaiyaeYour gaze is so overwhelming it could kill,
Ambaa Enaiyae ThaakkuthaeIt strikes me just like an arrow.
Nazhuvuthae Ennullam ThannaalaeMy heart slips away all on its own,
Naadiduthae UnnaiyaeIt’s searching only for you.
Pazhagidaamal Koocham VanthathaeEven before we’ve met, a shyness came over me,
Ennai Thadukkuthae Mary PyaariAnd it’s holding me back, my ‘beloved Mary’.
Ariyaa Vayasu Adhuvum PudhusuI’m at an innocent age and this is all so new,
Adhanaal Thayanguthu En ManasuThat’s why my heart hesitates.
Aanaal Adhaiyum Anthar PaldiBut even then, it does a somersault,
Adikkavum Seiyyuthu Un SogusuAll because of your dashing charm.
Kadhal Juraththinaal SathaiyellaamBecause of this fever of love, my flesh
Karainthae EzhumbukkoodaagavaeMelts away until I’m just a skeleton.
Kangal Rendum PanjadainthaeBoth of my eyes have grown weary,
Kaatchi Tharum Kadai BommaiyaeAppearing just like a ‘doll in a shop window’.
Paaril Idhupol UnnaiyaeIn this world, to the one who created you,
Padaiththa Allahvukkae En SalaamTo God, I offer my ‘salutations’.
Paarkkavae En Kangal KoosumMy eyes dazzle just by looking at you,
Un Azhagukku Naanae KulaamI’ve become a ‘slave’ to your beauty.
Enakkum Irukku Unakkum IrukkuI have it and you have it too,
Evarukkum Illaatha PeraasaiA great desire that no one else possesses.
Ingae Ippo Idamillai AdhukkuBut there’s no room for that here right now,
Edhukkunga Edhukkunga VeenaasaiSo why, oh why, this useless longing?
Ariyaa Vayasu Adhuvum PudhusuI’m at an innocent age and this is all so new,
Adhanaal Thayanguthu En ManasuThat’s why my heart hesitates.
Aanaal Adhaiyum Anthar PaldiBut even then, it does a somersault,
Adikkavum Seiyyuthu Un SogusuAll because of your dashing charm.
Adikkavum Seiyyuthu Un SogusuTruly, it’s all because of your dashing charm.
