Ethikkum
Malvi Sundaresan | Nivas K Prasanna • From “Kallapart”
Kallapart’s Ethikkum Tamil Lyrics English Meaning
Gangai Amaran pairs ‘Malai Neram Mayakkam’ (Evening time is intoxicating) with ‘No need for hesitation’ in Tamil and English. Malvi Sundaresan interjects ‘Do you want me? Yes, no, or maybe?’ as Saras Menon counters ‘Wanna break the buttons off your shirt.’ The call-and-response structure heightens tension.
