Pearle Maaney’s voice captures a dizzying internal shift in “Manasantha Meghamai” from the album Kalyana Vaibhogame. Starring Malavika Nair and Naga Shaurya, the song documents the moment annoyance gives way to affection. Lyricist Lakshmi Bhupala maps this disorienting but thrilling emotional change.
Lakshmi Bhupala writes of a heart in rebellion, with the character asking why her own feelings are deceiving her. She feels powerless against this new emotion. Her dreams seem to blame her for sleepless nights, demanding to know about the person now consuming her thoughts.
Manasantha Meghamai ThelipodhaaShouldn’t my whole heart just float away like a cloud?
Thana Chupe Thimmirey ThaakagaaWhen his gaze touches me with a dizzying spark.
Endallo ChallagaaA coolness in the summer heat,
Chirujalle VechagaaA warmth in the gentle rain.
Pulakinthe KothagaaA thrill that feels so new,
Andhuke NaIs this the reason why?
Manasantha Meghamai ThelipodhaaShouldn’t my whole heart just float away like a cloud?
Thana Chupe Thimmirey ThaakagaaWhen his gaze touches me with a dizzying spark.
Intha Mosam Evari KosamWho is this deception for?
Manasuke Nenu ChulakanaHave I become so powerless to my own heart?
Entha Dhooram Ee PrayanamHow far will this journey go?
Kopamaa Naa PainaAre you angry with me?
Nuvve Leni Naalo Nenu UndalenalaI can’t live in a version of myself without you.
Bharamaina Oopiri ChusiSeeing my heavy sighs,
Daachukunna Ishtam ThelisiAnd knowing the feelings I’ve hidden,
Athani Vaipu Nanne LaagelaaSomething keeps pulling me towards him.
Nidura Poni Kallani ChusiSeeing these sleepless eyes,
Kalalu Vachi Nindhalu VesiMy dreams come and accuse me.
Athani Parichayaale AdigenaThey demand to know all about him.
ThelipodhaaI just float away.
ThaakagaaAs his gaze touches me.
VenugaanamA sweet melody,
Edurulone DaagiWas hidden right in front of me.
Undhanna SangathiI never realized that fact,
Pedhavi PainaBut upon my lips,
Athani PereWhen his name alone,
Palikithe ThelisindhiWas spoken, I finally understood.
Uyyaalooge Naa OohalloIn my swaying daydreams,
OopirainadhiHe has become the very air I breathe.
Bugga Meedha ChitikestaaduHe’ll snap his fingers on my cheek,
Siggulona ErupavuthaduAnd I’ll turn red with shyness.
Endhukintha Sontham AyyaadeWhy does he feel so much like he’s mine?
Reppa Chaatu Swapnam VaaduHe’s the dream behind my eyelids.
Kammukunna Maikam VaaduHe’s the intoxication that surrounds me.
Emitintha Pichayi PoyaneWhat is this? I’ve gone completely mad for him.
Thana Chupe ThimmiraiWhen his gaze, like a dizzying spark,
ThaakagaaTouches me.
Endallo ChallagaaA coolness in the summer heat,
Chirujalle VechagaaA warmth in the gentle rain.
Pulakinthe KothagaaA thrill that feels so new,
Andhuke NaaIs this the reason why?
Manasantha Meghamai ThelipodhaaShouldn’t my whole heart just float away like a cloud?
Thana Chupe Thimmirai ThaakagaaWhen his gaze touches me with a dizzying spark.
The feeling eventually becomes an inescapable state of being. The character accepts that the person is now “the dream behind my eyelids” and an all-consuming intoxication. This “Manasantha Meghamai” lyrics meaning reveals a complete surrender to an unexpected love.
