Andru Kanda Mugam’s Kann Padaithan Unnai Lyrics Translation
The verses transition from the physical to the psychological. Kannadasan introduces the concept of a mind created to value life, contrasted with a hidden heart made to burn with passion. This turn joins external senses with internal longing.
Kann Padaithan Unnai KanbatharkkuHe created eyes just to see you
Iru Kai Padaithan Unnai AnaippadharkkuHe created two hands just to embrace you
Kal Padaithan Nerunghi NadappadharkkuHe created feet to walk closely with you
Vanna Kalai Padaithan Nee RasippadharkkuHe created colorful arts for you to admire
