“Moovanthi” by Pranavam Sasi and Anagha Mohan appears on the album Kondotti Pooram. Lyricist Suhail Sulthan and composer Sajith Sankar begin at the Kallayi river as twilight pulses with red. A girl’s nose stud shines like a firefly after a long day of work in the fields.

Kondotti Pooram’s Moovanthi Lyrics Translation
The song first notes the girl’s charming smile and the jingle of her bangles. This observation changes when the speaker asks why tears are forming in her eyes. The question about her trembling lips directly addresses an unspoken sadness.
Moovanthi Chonnu ThudikkanaThe evening twilight pulses with red
Kallaayi Puzha TheerathuOn the banks of the Kallayi river
Mukkuthikallu ThilanganuThe stone in your nose stud is shining
Minnaaminni Thilangana PolGlimmering just like a firefly
Moovanthi Chonnu ThudikkanaThe evening twilight pulses with red
Kallaayi Puzha TheerathuOn the banks of the Kallayi river
Mukkuthikallu ThilanganuThe stone in your nose stud is shining
Minnaaminni Thilangana PolGlimmering just like a firefly
Kannaalee Mechchu NadakkanaThe girl who charms with just a glance
Nangelee Pennu ChiricheThat graceful girl, she smiled
Paadathu Koythu KazhinjuAfter the harvest in the fields was done
Katta Methichu PonathaaneShe was walking home after threshing the grain
Moovanthi Chonnu ThudikkanaThe evening twilight pulses with red
Kallaayi Puzha TheerathuOn the banks of the Kallayi river
Chemmaanam Kuda PidikkanaWhere the crimson sky holds an umbrella
Malancheruvoram EnnumAlways, on the slope of the hill
Punnaaram Vala KilukkanaWhere the playful bangles jingle
The song places detailed descriptions of a beautiful landscape next to a person’s inner pain. It moves from scenic admiration to direct questions about her sorrow. The meaning of the “Moovanthi” lyrics comes from this contrast between a lovely setting and a quiet, personal struggle.
