Kannadasan writes T.M. Soundararajan asking about kohl-lined eyes hiding a face. P. Susheela responds that trembling reflects womanhood’s nature. The lyrics shift from teasing to proposing lifelong companionship without hesitation.
Naanamaa Maivizhiyil NaanamaaIs that shyness? In those kohl-lined eyes, is it really shyness?
Naanamaa Maivizhiyil NaanamaaIs that shyness? In those kohl-lined eyes, is it really shyness?
Poo Mugaththai Yaen MaraiththaaiWhy have you hidden your flower-like face?
Naan Ezhuthum PonnoviyamaeYou’re the golden painting I’m bringing to life.
Nee Anaiththaai Naan ThudithaenYou held me close, and I trembled within.
Penmai Enbathu ThanmaiyallavaaIsn’t gentle softness the very nature of womanhood?
Thanimaiyilum Vegamaa Ila Manathin VegamaaIs this rush there even in solitude? Or is it just the pace of a young heart?
Vayathu Pathinaaru Varainthidum AzhagoduWith the beauty that age sixteen paints on you,
Kangalil Nee Vanthaal Kavithai PirakkaathoWhen you enter my vision, won’t poetry naturally be born?
