Kangalil Aayiram Lyrics Meaning J. Jayalalitha | T. M. Soundarajan | Vandhale Maharasi
Soundarajan compares his lover’s eyes to blue skies and cheeks to ice cream. Jayalalitha references Tamil folk poetry, singing about opening sluice gates for a ‘yellow cow’ to bathe. This metaphorically describes removing barriers to love.
