S. Janaki brings a gentle mood to “Poomagal Meni Thulir,” a Tamil song from the album Gnayirum Thingalum. Lyricist Kannadasan and composer M. S. Viswanathan create a scene of blooming nature. A maiden’s internal blossoming connects with spring’s arrival.

Poomagal Meni Thulir Lyrics Translation S. Janaki | Gnayirum Thingalum
Kannadasan’s words describe the “flower maiden’s body” sprouting as spring arrives. The maiden asks if this is the “tender season when Muruga rules” her. Shyness covers her “like an umbrella,” yet desire grows within.

Poovidam Vandu Then PerumBees gather honey from the flowers.
