Enge Vandhaai
P. Susheela • From “Kongu Nattu Thangam”
Enge Vandhaai Lyrics Translation P. Susheela | Kongu Nattu Thangam
The character questions an unexpected presence. “Valarthavargal Meedhu Kobama?” asks if anger drives it, or “Manadhil Viduthalai Dhaagamaa?” implies a thirst for freedom. Susheela’s voice conveys wary assessment.
Kannal Idhu Varai Kanadha PadhaiyilOn a path my eyes haven’t seen until now.
Thannan Thanimaiyil IvvelaiyileIn complete solitude at this very moment.
Thannan Thanimaiyil IvvelaiyileIn complete solitude at this very moment.

Valarthavargal Meedhu KobamaIs it anger towards those who raised you?

Manadhil Viduthalai DhagamaIs it a thirst for freedom in your heart?
