Hariharan • From “Vithaikkaaran”
Vithaikkaaran’s Sunamika Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Vaira Muthu describes a tongue growing rigid when near the beloved. Hariharan’s delivery shows knowledge of languages failing as emotions overwhelm. Summer flowers offered at love’s temple replace verbal requests.
Muthukkal Vaanga PonenI went to buy some pearls.
Mutraththil Thayangi NindrenI stood in the courtyard, feeling hesitant.
Muthangal Ketka PonenI went there to ask for kisses.
Mozhiyellam Theeranthu PonenI ran completely out of words.
Muthukkal Vaanga PonenI went to buy some pearls.
Mutraththil Thayangi NindrenI stood in the courtyard, feeling hesitant.
Muthangal Ketka PonenI went there to ask for kisses.
Mozhiyellam Theeranthu PonenI ran completely out of words.
Narambe Illaa NaavukkuFor a tongue that has no nerves,
Elumbu VanthathuA bone suddenly grew.
Eppadi Eppadi Eppadi EppadiHow? How? How? How?
Enmel Konjam Karunai SeithuShow me a little bit of mercy,
Neeyee KaadhalSince you’re love itself.
Seppadi Seppadi Seppadi SeppadiTell me how? Tell me how? Tell me how? Tell me how?
Sunamika Hey SunamikaSunamika, hey Sunamika.
Sunamika Hey SunamikaSunamika, hey Sunamika.
Ennai Suzhatri AdithaayeYou swirled and struck me.
Sunamika Hey SunamikaSunamika, hey Sunamika.
Kaadhal Kovil Thedi VanthenI came looking for the temple of love.
Kanni Kadavulum KanduvittenI even found the ‘virgin goddess’ there.
Kodai Pookalum ThanthuvittenI offered her summer flowers.
Korikkai VaikkaveTo make my request,
Maranthuvitten MaranthuvittenI forgot, I really forgot.
Oh Kaadhal Kovil Thedi VanthenOh, I came looking for the temple of love.
Kanni Kadavulum KanduvittenI even found the ‘virgin goddess’ there.
Kodai Pookalum ThanthuvittenI offered her summer flowers.
Korikkai VaikkaveTo make my request,
Maranthuvitten MaranthuvittenI forgot, I really forgot.
Indhiya Mozhigal Irandum TherinthumThough I know two Indian languages,
Vaarthai Varavillai KiliyeWords won’t come to me, my ‘parrot’.
Erumbu Kadithaal Thottil PillaiIf an ant bites a baby in a cradle,
Eppadi Sollum VeliyeHow could they explain it to the world?
Sunamika Hey SunamikaSunamika, hey Sunamika.
Sunamika Hey SunamikaSunamika, hey Sunamika.
Ennai Suzhatri AdithaayeYou swirled and struck me.

Silent devotion replaces spoken requests in the Sunamika lyrics meaning, set to Vbr’s gentle composition. The album Vithaikkaaran frames this wordless surrender as its own form of romantic expression.
