Kadavul Irukkindran Lyrics English Translation — Anandha Jodhi | T. M. Soundarajan
T. M. Soundarajan performs “Kadavul Irukkindran” for the film Anandha Jodhi, starring M. G. Ramachandran and Devika. Lyricist Kannadasan and composers Vishwanathan-Ramamoorthy created the piece. The song opens with the statement “God exists” and immediately asks if this presence is visible.
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.
