Bison Kaalamaadan’s Theekkoluthi Lyrics {English Meaning}
The translation of Theekkoluthi’s lyrics AKA “Thee Koluthi,” helps reveal the song’s deeper meaning. Written by director Mari Selvaraj, the words use the image of a ‘fire-starter’ to describe a lover whose memory brings both comfort and pain. Phrases like “You are the henna, and my whole heart is stained with your color” show how deeply love has affected the speaker.
Thee Mootti Thee MoottiBy lighting a fire, lighting a fire,
Nenjankootta Paththa VechchaYou set my heart-cage ablaze.
Kattuppechi Nee, Kattuppechi NeeYou are an untamable woman.
Thalatti Thalatti, Pachchapulla Yenga VechchaBy soothing and soothing, you made an innocent child weep.
Pattuppechchi Nee, Pattuppechchi NeeYou are a woman of sweet words.
Rasaththi Un Nenappu, Karuvakkattu MullachudiMy queen, the thought of you is a thorn from an acacia tree.
Adi Aththi Un Siripu, Puliyankattu PoovachudiMy beauty, your smile is a flower in a tamarind grove.
Pora Nee Vakkapattu, Udanjen Nan YekkapattuYou are getting married, and I am left here, aching for you.
