Kaarkuzhal Kanmani Meaning & Lyrics (Sam Vishal | Sebastin Rozario)
Parthiv Mani describes a smile piercing like an arrow in ‘Your little smile is an arrow, that’s killing me’. The singer claims memories control him ‘until the blood in my soul freezes’. Visual language equates speechlessness to Tamil’s complex ‘Zhagaram’ sound.
Vizhi AsaindhumEven when my eyes move,
Parvai Uraindhe Pogamy gaze stays frozen.
Un Vasal NadiMy feet begin their search,
Kalgal Thedal Podaheading toward your doorstep.
Vizhi AsaindhumThough my eyes may shift,
Parvai Uraindhe Pogamy vision remains still.
Un Vasal NadiMy legs start their quest,
Kalgal Thedal Podaseeking your doorway.
Varadum KatraiYou passed by like a dry breeze,
Vasam Veesi Ponayewafting your scent.
Idhaiya Thudippil Siru VazhiyaiYou left a little pain within my heartbeat,
Thandhu Ponayeas you went.
Varadum KatraiLike a parched wind, you drifted past,
Vasam Veesi Ponayespreading your fragrance.
Idhaiya Thudippil Siru VazhiyaiYou left a small ache in my heart’s pulse,
Thandhu Ponayewhen you departed.
Karkuzhal KanmaniMy gem with dark tresses,
En Kadhal Kavidhai Neeyou’re my love poem.
Un Siru PunnagaiYour little smile is an arrow,
Ennai Kollum Ambadithat’s killing me.
Karkuzhal KanmaniMy gem with dark tresses,
En Kadhal Kavidhai Neeyou’re my love poem.
Un Siru PunnagaiYour little smile is an arrow,
Ennai Kollum Ambadithat’s killing me.
Zhagaram Pondra AzhaginalWith beauty like the ‘Zhagaram’ ‘the unique Tamil letter Zha’,
Mozhiyai Mounam Akkinaiyou’ve turned my words into silence.
Nanam Konda KangalalWith your shy eyes,
Yeno Ennai Thakkinaiyou’ve somehow struck me.
Zhagaram Pondra AzhaginalWith a charm resembling the ‘Zhagaram’ ‘the unique Tamil letter Zha’,
Mozhiyai Mounam Akkinaiyou’ve made my speech fall silent.
