Anandha Jodhi’s Kadavul Irukkindran Lyrics Translation

The verses draw comparisons between a divine being and other powerful, invisible things. Listeners are reminded that they feel the wind and appreciate music without ever seeing a physical form for either. The lyrics also ask if the form of truth within one’s heart is ever visible on the outside.
