The lyrics later move from broad natural imagery to a specific admission. He asks if his deep desire to marry her is not visible in his eyes. This grounds the earlier comparisons in a tangible, personal wish for commitment.
Neelavanile MeghamayavalShe is a cloud in the vast blue sky
Kulirmazhayay PozhiyanMeant to fall like a cool rain
Ee Mizhavile ThaalamayavalShe is the rhythm of this drum
Akathaliril NirayanMeant to fill my deepest heart
Irulaarnna Raavathil Mizhivaarnna PoovudalIn the darkest of nights, a body like a radiant flower
Oliveki Niramode Varumo IniWill you now appear, full of grace and color?
Azhake Aliyum Nilave SakhiyeMy beauty, my melting moonlight, my beloved
Iniyee Janmam Neeyanen UyireFor this lifetime, you are my very soul
Ah AhAh Ah
Anthiveyil Chelil Nee Vanna NeramThe moment you arrived in the evening twilight’s glow
Champaneerpoovo KothichathalleWasn’t it a champak flower I longed for?
Minnukettuvanen Ullilulla MohamThe desire deep in my heart to make you my bride
Mizhikalilake ThelinjathalleWasn’t it all perfectly clear in my eyes?
Thoomazhanilavin Pudava ChaartheeDressed in a sari of pure, gentle moonlight
Arikilay Chernnu NinnuYou stood so close beside me
En Kanavil Oorum Kavithayayi NeeYou became the poetry that flows through my dreams
Ninavekumen IdavazhiyilOn the pathways of my waking mind
Ninakkekuvan ChirimalarayI have a shower of smiles to offer you
Iniyee Mounam Thoraatha MozhiyeOh, unending word that this silence speaks
Ah AhAh Ah
