Pudhiya Poovithu
Ilaiyaraaja | Vaali • From “Thendrale Ennai Thodu”
Vaali pens the line ‘I love you’, which in Tamil reads ‘நான் உன்னை காதலிக்கிறேன்’. The song paints a picture of a fresh new flower blooming while a young bee buzzes nearby, and two red carp mirror the girl’s eyes. When the flower and bee merge in rosewater, the story shows how affection takes root. The imagery feels like a gentle dance of nature and heart.
