Sembarambakkam Yaeri Lyrics Meaning | Sathamindri Mutham Tha | Andrea Jeremiah
Andrea Jeremiah’s ‘Sembarambakkam Yaeri’ from the album Sathamindri Mutham Tha blends Viveka’s lyrics and Jubin Nautiyal’s composition. The track asserts impatience with hesitation in relationships. Jeremiah’s vocals shift from playful taunts to direct demands.
Viveka uses everyday metaphors, comparing desire to a heated dosa pan. Andrea Jeremiah challenges traditional views with the statement ‘lust is not a sin, it’s for man and woman to unite’. She questions her partner’s reluctance as foolish arrogance.
Sembarambakkam Yaeri AlavuAs full as the ‘Sembarambakkam Lake’ reservoir,
Thanni Kudikka Thaagam IrukkuI’ve a deep thirst to drink it all.
Sombula Konjam Thanni KoduththuGive me some water in a ‘traditional metal vessel’,
Kammunnu Ponaa Enna Kozhuppubut what’s with the arrogance of walking away silently?
Pombala Saabam Vaangida VenaaDon’t go inviting a woman’s curse.
