Magalukaga Vazhntha Appan
Senthamizhan | Vijay Shankar • From “Kavundampalayam”
What is the meaning of Magalukaga Vazhntha Appan Lyrics from Kavundampalayam?
Vijay Shankar contrasts a daughter’s shift from palace luxury to a thatched hut. The father observes her poverty from his deathbed, powerless to intervene. Love’s deceptive vision obscures reality in his final moments.
Maaligaiyil Vaazhntha MagalThe daughter who lived in a palace,
OlaikudisaiyilIs now in a thatched hut.
Magalukaaga Vaazhum AppaThe father who lived only for his daughter,
Marana PadukaiyilIs lying on his deathbed.
Manam Vedhumbi KedakuraarHe lies there with a withered heart,
Manam Puriya ThudikkuraarDesperate to be understood.
Velicham Thedum Vittil PoochiThe moth seeking the light,
Neruppu AriyathuDoesn’t realize it’s fire.
Kaadhal Thedum Kannin KaatchiThe vision of eyes seeking love,
Nijam AriyathuDoesn’t know the truth.
Appan Aatha Thoppul UravaThe sacred bond with father and mother,
Kaadhal MaraikutheIs obscured by this love.
