Kalaikoil’s Thanga Radham Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Kannadasan describes a golden chariot carrying a tender figure through streets draped in emerald festoons. Ruby necklaces sing poetic verses as the scene unfolds with mango cheeks and darting fish imagery.
Thanga Radham Vandhadhu VeedhiyileA golden chariot rolled down the street
Oru Thalir Maeni Vandhadhu TherinilaeA tender figure arrived in the chariot
Maragadha Thoranam AsaindhaadaEmerald festoons swayed and danced
Nalla Maanikka Maalaigal KavipaadaWhile ruby necklaces sang poetic verses
Maragadha Thoranam AsaindhaadaEmerald festoons swayed and danced
Nalla Maanikka Maalaigal KavipaadaWhile ruby necklaces sang poetic verses
Kavi PaadaSinging verses
