Paper Rocket’s Cheranaadu Tamil Lyrics English Meaning
Ramya Nambessan sings about the man’s dazed reaction without ‘magic or tricks’. The lyrics compare her eyes to cashew shapes pulling him in. Ku. Karthik and Joe Paul use rice flour imagery to show how she marked his heart.
Cheranaadu Oru Sundhari PenneThe land of Kerala is like a beautiful girl.
Pathu Mayangudhu Senthamizh KanneSeeing her, my refined Tamil eyes are dazed.
Nenju Parakkudhu Enna Nee PannaMy heart’s flying, what’ve you done to me?
Aala Izhukkudhu Mundhiri KanneThose cashew-shaped eyes are pulling me in.
Mandhiram Illa MayangureneI’m dazed without any magic.
Thandhiram Illa ThayangureneI’m hesitating without any tricks.
Aarunkanadhoru SingarameYou’re a beauty no one’s ever seen.
Ende Kannin SoppanameYou’re the dream in my eyes.
