Naan Kathal Kili Lyrics Translation P. Susheela | S. P. Balasubrahmanyam | Thaaikku Oru Pillai
Muthulingam introduces sacrifice with ‘Annai inbam kaana nee / Unnai thiyaagam seithaai’ (For mother’s happiness, you sacrificed yourself). The line ‘Kulamagal deivam endraal / Kurunagai koyil andro’ compares a noble woman’s smile to a temple.
