Kaathirunthene Naane Lyrics Meaning P. Susheela | Konjum Kumari
Vaali structures the woman’s choice around decisive actions: ‘I placed my loving heart in his hands’ rejects passive longing. P. Susheela delivers ‘Would I ever let him leave?’ as a firm rhetorical vow.
Kaathirundhenae NaaneI was the one who waited.
Kadhalan Vandhaan ThaaneAnd my lover has finally come.

Mayangiduvale MaadhuThis maiden fell into a swoon.
