What is the meaning of Thaagam Adhu Lyrics from Unakkum Enakkum?
Aalangudi Somu compares thirst to a melodic raagam in Carnatic tradition. The lines describe bodies dissolving into intimacy, forgetting the world. K. Swarna sings about coral-red lips and mingling kohl as metaphors for union.
Sugam Enna Sugam Enna SugamWhat is this pleasure? Tell me, what is this delight?
Thaagam Adhu Paruvathin Oru Vagai RaagamThis thirst is simply a unique melody of our youth.
Mogam Adhu Piranthathum Oruvitha VegamPassion is a rushing impulse the moment it’s born.
Thaagam Adhu Paruvathin Oru Vagai RaagamThis thirst is simply a unique melody of our youth.
Pavala Sevvaai KaninthathuThe coral-red lips have ripened to perfection.
Paruga Paruga Suranthathu Enna SugamAs I sip more and more from them, what a pleasure flows.
Thuvalum Kodiyo SumanththuLike a swaying vine bearing its sweet burden,
Thunaiyai KanduUpon seeing her companion,
Sivanththu Enna SugamShe blushes deep red, and what a joy it brings.
Thaagam Adhu Paruvathin Oru Vagai RaagamThis thirst is simply a unique melody of our youth.
Poraadu Thegam Neeraadum NeramIt’s the time when bodies entwine and bathe in intimacy.
Poraadu Thegam Neeraadum NeramIt’s the time when bodies entwine and bathe in intimacy.
Pogaatha ThooramTraveling a distance we’ve never gone before,
Pogindrapothu Enna SugumAs we cross it now, what a pleasure it is.
Thaagam Adhu Paruvathin Oru Vagai RaagamThis thirst is simply a unique melody of our youth.
Meiyum Meiyum KalanthathuBody and body have mingled into one.
Maiyum Saanththum Karanththu Enna SugamThe kohl and sandal paste dissolve together; what a delight.
Uravin Kavithai MalarnthathuThe poetry of our relationship has fully blossomed.
Ulagam Ingae Maranththu Enna SugamForgetting the world right here brings such bliss.
