Paruvathil Konjam Lyrics Translation (from “Panam Padaithavan”)
Soundarajan asks if eyes may see or hands touch, while Eswari questions whether shyness should hold her back. Vaali contrasts day memories with night dreams visiting her flower-like eyes.
Paruvathil Konjam Uruvathil KonjamA bit from her youth and a bit from her form,

Unnai Ninaithaeno Udal IlaithaenoDid I pine for you until I grew thin?
Ennai Koduthaeno Nenjai EduthaenoDid I give myself away or steal your heart?
Solla Theriyaadho Solli PuriyaadhoDon’t I know how to say it, or won’t you understand?
Andha Kalaithaano Indha NilaithaanoIs it that artistic spark or this lingering state?

Mangai Malarmaeni Mannan Oru ThaeniThe maiden’s body is a flower, and the king is a honeybee.
Indha Idhazh Kovai Innum Konjam ThevaiI still need more of these ‘Kovai’ red fruit-like lips.
Kangal Padalaamo Kaigal ThodalaamoCan my eyes gaze, and can my hands touch?
Naanam Varalaaamo Naanum VaralaamooShould shyness take over, or should I come too?
Poluthoru Mayakkam Paarvaiyil PirakkumAn intoxication is born in every glance.
Punnagai Thoodhu VarumHer smile arrives as a messenger.
Pagalukku Ninaivum Iravukku KanavumMemories by day and dreams by night,
Poovizhi Vaasal VarumThey gather at the threshold of her flower-like eyes.
