Nalla Neram Neram Lyrics Translation (from “Andha Oru Nimidam”)

Vaali mixes victory cries with playful whispers: ‘Especially for men’s eyes, there’s a small window in my dress.’ He stacks metaphors like garlands – from borrowed gold to throbbing youth – celebrating life’s overflow. Even gods get a cameo, singing and dancing to the beat of human triumph.
