S. Janaki | S. P. Balasubrahmanyam • From “Maadi Veettu Ezhai”
Oru Madhiriya Lyrics Translation – Maadi Veettu Ezhai Soundtrack
Balasubrahmanyam proposes clinging ‘like a leech’ for warmth, bypassing hesitation. Janaki counters with physical trembling that betrays verbal resistance, claiming her ‘heart won’t listen’ while her body shivers.
Oru Madhiriya Odambirukku KulireduthuMy body feels so strange, shivering in this cold.
Unnai Kadhakadhappa Anaikkattuma Kaiyil EduthuShall I lift you up and hold you close to keep you warm?
Soodu Kodu Konjam Soodu KoduGive me some warmth, oh, give me a little warmth.
Soodu Kodu Konjam Soodu KoduGive me some warmth, oh, give me a little warmth.
Ahaa Surrnnu Yerudhu KuliruAha! This chill is shooting right through me.
Enai Thannanthaniya Vitta ThavaruLeaving me all alone right now is a mistake.
Oru Madhiriya Odambirukku KulireduthuMy body feels so strange, shivering in this cold.
Ennai Kadhakadhappa Anaichukkava Kaiyil EduthuWill you lift me up and hold me close to keep me warm?
Soodu Kodu Konjam Soodu KoduGive me some warmth, oh, give me a little warmth.
Soodu Kodu Konjam Soodu KoduGive me some warmth, oh, give me a little warmth.

Andha Maargaliyil Neeirundha SithiraiWith you, even the freezing winter feels like a warm spring.
Pakkam Neeillatti Yedhu Sollu NithiraiIf you aren’t by my side, tell me, how will sleep come?
Appadiya Raaja Unga Sangadhi AdaOh, is that really your story, my dear King?
Adhai Pola Irukkuthinga EngadhiMy situation feels just like that too.

Naan Konja Vandha Maruthidama SammadhiIf I come to cuddle you, just agree and don’t say no.
Oru Madhiriya Odambirukku KulireduthuMy body feels so strange, shivering in this cold.
Unnai Kadhakadhappa Anaikkattuma Kaiyil EduthuShall I lift you up and hold you close to keep you warm?
Oru Madhiriya Music Video
Vaali’s writing for the ‘Maadi Veettu Ezhai’ soundtrack uses environmental discomfort to frame mutual attraction. This approach clarifies the Oru Madhiriya lyrics translation as strategic vulnerability masking desire.
