Chinna Kannane Naan Lyrics Translation (from “Thaaikku Oru Pillai”)
Pulamaipithan describes a father transforming his back into a play elephant for his child’s amusement. The lyricist later shifts to ambition with ‘may the whole town speak your fame daily.’ Both gestures reflect equal measures of playfulness and expectation.
