Naanamo Innum
P. Susheela | T. M. Soundararajan • From “Aayirathil Oruvan”
Naanamo Innum Lyrics Translation – Aayirathil Oruvan Soundtrack
Vaali crafts a beautiful dialogue about shyness and modesty in love. The lyrics ask, ‘Is it shyness? Is it modesty?’ The poet suggests these qualities are as fleeting and unique as a mountain breeze turning into a bouquet of flowers.
Nanamo InnumIs it still shyness?
Nanamo Indha JadaiIs this gesture still out of modesty?
Nadagam Enna AndhaWhat’s this act you’re putting on?
Parvai KooruvadhennaWhat’s that look in your eyes trying to say?
Nanamo NanamoIs it shyness? Is it modesty?
Oh NanamoOh, is it shyness?
Innum Nanamo ThannaiIs it still modesty? Before the lover,
Nadum Kadhalan Munnewho’s come seeking you?
Thirunalai Thedidum PenmaiIt’s a womanhood that’s longing for its big day.
Nanumo NanumoIs it shyness? Is it modesty?
Nanamo InnumIs it still shyness?
Nanamo Indha JadaiIs this gesture still out of modesty?
Nadagam Enna AndhaWhat’s this act you’re putting on?
Parvai KooruvadhennaWhat’s that look in your eyes trying to say?
Nanamo NanamoIs it shyness? Is it modesty?
Thottathu PoovinilIt isn’t found in the flowers of a garden,
Illadhadhu Oru Yettilumnor is it described in any book,
Patilum Solladhadhuor any song ever written.

Illadhadhu Oru Yettilumnor is it described in any book,
Patilum Solladhadhuor any song ever written.
Aadaiyil AdudhuIt dances within your garments,
Vadaiyil Vadudhu Anandhaand wilts in the chill of the north wind. In a flood of joy,
Vellathil Neeradudhu Adhu Edhuit takes a bath; what could it be?
Aadavar KangalilIt’s something other men’s eyes,
Kanadhadhu Adhu Kalangalcan never see; even as the eras,
Marinum Maradhadhuchange, it’ll never fade away.

Kanadhadhu Adhu Kalangalcan never see; even as the eras,
Marinum Maradhadhuchange, it’ll never fade away.
KadhalanIt’s what a lover,
Pennidam Theduvadhuseeks within a woman.
Kadhali KangalaiIt’s what makes the beloved,
Mooduvadhu Adhu Edhuclose her eyes; what is it?
NanamoIs it shyness?
Innum Nanamo ThannaiIs it still modesty? Before the lover,
Nadum Kadhalan Munnewho’s come seeking you?
Thirunalai Thedidum PenmaiIt’s a womanhood that’s longing for its big day.
Nanumo NanumoIs it shyness? Is it modesty?
Malaiyil KatrinilIt’s born in the mountain breeze,
Undavadhu Adhuand then,
Manjathile Malarchendavadhubecomes a bouquet of flowers upon the bed.
Malaiyil KatrinilIt’s born in the mountain breeze,
Undavadhu Adhuand then,
Manjathile Malarchendavadhubecomes a bouquet of flowers upon the bed.
Kalaiyil NeerinilIn the morning, while playing in the water,
Aadidum Velaiyil Kadhaliit’s what becomes like honey,
Ennathil Thenavadhuin the beloved’s thoughts.
Adhu EdhuWhat is it?
Undal MayakumIt’s an intoxicating ‘todd#’ when tasted,
Kallavadhu Adhu Unnadhaand it’s a thorn,
Nenjuku Mullavadhuto a noble heart.
Undal MayakumIt’s an intoxicating ‘todd#’ when tasted,
Kallavadhu Adhu Unnadhaand it’s a thorn,
Nenjuku Mullavadhuto a noble heart.
Naluku NalDay by day, it’s what,
Manam Naduvadhuthe heart goes searching for;
Gnaniyin Kangalumit’s what even the eyes of a wise sage,
Theduvadhu Adhu Edhuare constantly looking for; what is it?
Nanamo InnumIs it still shyness?
Nanamo Indha JadaiIs this gesture still out of modesty?
Nadagam Enna AndhaWhat’s this act you’re putting on?
