Charles Enterprises’s Thangamayile Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Nachi describes the singer’s emotional collapse after searching neighborhoods like Pachalam. Food comparisons frame affection, calling the beloved ‘milk bun’ and ‘banana fritter’. Direct appeals ask the woman to acknowledge his devotion before time expires.
Thangamayilu En ThangamayiluMy golden peacock, oh my golden peacock.
Onna Naan Thedi VandhuI’ve come searching for you,
Urukkulanju Ninnennadiand I stood there, emotionally falling apart.
Thangamayilu En VairamayiluMy golden peacock, my diamond peacock.
