S. P. Balasubrahmanyam’s vocals anchor Vaali’s lyrics in Thaayillamal Naan Illai. Shankar Ganesh’s bold composition frames a playful romantic challenge. The actor-hero questions his beloved’s dramatic resistance.

Nadiganin Kadhali Lyrics Translation – Thaayillamal Naan Illai Soundtrack
Balasubrahmanyam declares he can melt stone statues with song. Vaali compares desire to a parrot seeking fruit or vines clinging to branches.
Kannae Naan Paada Karsilaiyum EzhunthaadumMy dear, when I sing, even a stone statue will rise and dance.
Kadhal Ilavarasan Kalaithiranai Nee AriyaaiYou don’t know the artistic talent of this ‘Prince of Love’.
Unnai Paattaalae Uruga Vaikkum IlainganadiI’m the youth who’ll melt your heart with just a song, girl.
Ennidam Naadagamaa Naanae NadiganadiWhy play drama with me? I’m the actor myself, girl.
Nadiganin Kadhali Naadagam YaenadiOh, sweetheart of an actor, why this drama?
Aadalil Paadalil Vallavan NaanadiI’m a master of both dance and song, girl.
Nadiganin Kadhali Naadagam YaenadiOh, sweetheart of an actor, why this drama?
Aadalil Paadalil Vallavan NaanadiI’m a master of both dance and song, girl.
Singaara Paingili Senthoora PoongodiBeautiful little parrot, vermilion-hued flowering vine.
Sangeetham Keladi Sathiraattam PodadiListen to the music and perform your ‘Sathiraattam’ (classical dance), girl.
Nadiganin Kadhali Naadagam YaenadiOh, sweetheart of an actor, why this drama?
Aadalil Paadalil Vallavan NaanadiI’m a master of both dance and song, girl.
Oru Kaniyai KandaalaeIf a parrot sees a fruit,
Kili Koththi SellaathiWon’t it peck and take it away?
Kozhu Kompai KandaalaeIf a vine sees a lush branch,
Kodi Suttri KollaathoWon’t it wrap itself around?
Oru Kaniyai KandaalaeIf a parrot sees a fruit,
Kili Koththi SellaathiWon’t it peck and take it away?
Kozhu Kompai KandaalaeIf a vine sees a lush branch,
Kodi Suttri KollaathoWon’t it wrap itself around?
Manmathan ManthiramI possess the mantra of ‘Manmathan’ (God of Love),
Ennidam UllathuIt’s right here with me.

En Sontham AagaathoWon’t it become mine?
