Deiva Balam’s Pongi Ezhum Ilam Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Maruthakasi uses repeated images like ‘reengaaram’ (deep red) to show intense emotions coloring daily life. Vaithegi sings about sleepless states (‘thoongaamal thoonguvathai’) and natural growth (‘kilarchchiyinaalae’) with energetic phrasing.
Pongi Ezhum Ilam Manasu ThudikkuthuA young heart, surging up, throbs with excitement.
Bodhaiyinal Pudhupadam PadikkuthuWith this elation, it’s learning a new lesson.
Singara Kanavugal Kannara KanuthuIt clearly sees charming dreams with its own eyes.
Pongi Ezhum Ilam Manasu ThudikkuthuA young heart, surging up, throbs with excitement.
Poongavil Malligaiyim VasanaiyaleIn the flower garden, by the jasmine’s fragrance,
Pon Vandu Thavi Vanthu AsaiyinaleThe golden bee comes eagerly, swayed by its desire.
