P. Susheela’s voice carries vulnerability in ‘Chinna Chinna Ithazh’ from the album Thedi Vantha Thirumagal. Lyricist Vaali and composer K.V. Mahadevan shape this melancholic confession to a flower.

Chinna Chinna Ithazh Lyrics Translation – Thedi Vantha Thirumagal Soundtrack
Vaali describes walking many paths with the line ‘Kaalgal Pona Paadhaiyellaam.’ The singer questions her existence, unable to grasp why she was born or what tomorrow holds.
Chinna Chinna Idhazh Virikkum Pon MalareGolden blossom, opening your tiny petals
Unnidathil En Kadhaiya SollattumaaCan I share my story with you?
Solli Innum Konjam Kanneerai SindhattumaAnd shed a few more tears while I speak?
Chinna Chinna Idhazh Virikkum Pon MalareGolden blossom, opening your tiny petals
Unnidathil En Kadhaiya SollattumaaCan I share my story with you?
Solli Innum Konjam Kanneerai SindhattumaAnd shed a few more tears while I speak?
Chinna Chinna Idhazh Virikkum Pon MalareGolden blossom, opening your tiny petals
Thannai Pola Thaai Valarthaal AvalumillaiThe mother who raised me as her own is gone
Unnai Pol Nan Irundhen Thunbam IllaiI was like you once, untouched by sorrow
Thannai Pola Thaai Valarthaal AvalumillaiThe mother who raised me as her own is gone
Unnai Pol Nan Irundhen Thunbam IllaiI was like you once, untouched by sorrow
Uruvathilae Valarndhu VittenI’ve grown tall in stature
Inbamillai InbamillaiBut there’s no joy, no joy at all
Chinna Chinna Idhazh Virikkum Pon MalareGolden blossom, opening your tiny petals
Kaadhalenum Kadhai Kettu Mayanghi VandhenI came here, spellbound by the legend of love
Adhu Paadhiyil Nindrathanaal Thirumbhi VandhenIt stopped halfway, so I’ve turned back
Kaadhalenum Kadhai Kettu Mayanghi VandhenI came here, spellbound by the legend of love
Adhu Paadhiyil Nindrathanaal Thirumbhi VandhenIt stopped halfway, so I’ve turned back
Kaalgal Pona PaadhaiyellaamAlong every path where my feet wandered
Kadanthu Vandhen Nadanthu VandhenI’ve walked them all, I’ve crossed them all
Chinna Chinna Idhazh Virikkum Pon MalareGolden blossom, opening your tiny petals

Inghu Naan Pirandha Kaaranamum PuriyavillaiI don’t even know why I was born here
Naalai Enna Nadakkum Endru TheriyavillaiI don’t know what tomorrow holds
Inghu Naan Pirandha Kaaranamum PuriyavillaiI don’t even know why I was born here
Oorkavalai UnakkedharkkuWhy should you carry the world’s worries?
Un Kavalai Yaar TheerpaarWho’s gonna heal your own pain?
Chinna Chinna Idhazh Virikkum Pon MalareGolden blossom, opening your tiny petals
Unnidathil En Kadhaiya SollattumaaCan I share my story with you?
Solli Innum Konjam Kanneerai SindhattumaAnd shed a few more tears while I speak?
