Kadan Vangi Kalyanam’s Thaaravin Paarvai Lyrics Translation

The lyrics instruct a man on how to react to specific actions. A gentle look from a doorway is interpreted as an invitation to approach and talk. A wink or a side glance becomes a signal for him to declare himself as her lover and offer his hand.

Tharavin ParvaiyileIn a maiden’s gaze
Oh VennilaveOh, moonlight
Eralamana ArthangalThere are countless meanings
Oh Vennilave Oh VennilaveOh, moonlight, oh, moonlight
Tharavin ParvaiyileIn a maiden’s gaze
Oh VennilaveOh, moonlight
Eralamana ArthangalThere are countless meanings
Oh Vennilave Oh VennilaveOh, moonlight, oh, moonlight
Kathavin Oramay NindruStanding by the edge of the door
Ithamaga ParthalumEven if she looks so gently
Azhaippathay OdiyeYou must run, as if she’s calling
Arugil Pesida VendumAnd you must speak with her closely
Kathavin Oramay NindruIf she stands by the edge of the door
Ithamaga ParthalumAnd looks on so gently
Azhaippathay OdiyeYou must run, taking it as an invitation
Arugil Pesida VendumAnd you must speak with her closely
Kay Thavari NazhuviyeIf her hand should slip by mistake
Kanivodu ParthalumAnd she looks on with tenderness
Kay Thavari NazhuviyeIf her hand slips as if by chance
Kanivodu ParthalumAnd she gazes with tenderness
Kathal KondanendruYou must think she has fallen in love
Mey Maranthida VendumAnd you must lose yourself in that moment
Tharavin ParvaiyileIn a maiden’s gaze
Oh VennilaveOh, moonlight
Eralamana ArthangalThere are countless meanings
Oh Vennilave Oh VennilaveOh, moonlight, oh, moonlight
Kanngalai SimittiyeIf she winks her eyes at you
Kadaikannai VeesinalOr casts a sideways glance
Kathalan Nan EndruYou must declare, “I am your lover”
Kai Pottu Thara VendumAnd you must offer her your hand
Kanngalai SimittiyeWhen she playfully winks her eyes
Kadaikannai VeesinalOr sends a look from their corners
Kathalan Nan EndruYou must profess, “I am your lover”
Kai Pottu Thara VendumAnd you must reach out for her hand
Munumunuthu SelaiyaiIf she murmurs while her sari
Murukkiye SoruginalShe twists and tucks at her waist
Munumunuthu SelaiyaiWhile she mutters, if her sari
Murukkiye SoruginalShe tightly tucks at her waist
Munthanaiyai PattriYou must catch the end of her garment
Pin Thodarnthida VendumAnd you must follow right behind her
Tharavin ParvaiyileIn a maiden’s gaze
Oh VennilaveOh, moonlight
Eralamana ArthangalThere are countless meanings
Oh Vennilave Oh VennilaveOh, moonlight, oh, moonlight
Tharavin ParvaiyileIn a maiden’s gaze
Oh VennilaveOh, moonlight
Eralamana ArthangalThere are countless meanings
Oh Vennilave Oh VennilaveOh, moonlight, oh, moonlight
