Thenmozhi from the film Thiruchitrambalam brings a fresh twist to the typical heartbreak song, blending playful pain with genuine emotion.

The song’s true genius is revealed in the translation of Thenmozhi’s lyrics, where the meaning exposes a raw internal conflict. Penned by Poetu Dhanush, the verses swing between feigned indifference (“I didn’t melt thinking of you”) and genuine sorrow (“My shadow has also left me”). This lyrical contradiction gives the song its distinct character, portraying a man trying to maintain his pride while emotionally falling apart.
Thiruchitrambalam’s Thenmozhi Lyrics English (with Translation)
Thenmozhi Poongodi Vadi Poche En Chedi
The sweet talker! The flowering creeper! You have left me speechless.
Vanmadhi Paingili Aasai Theera Vatu Nee
The moon! The parrot! You torture me as you like.
Unna Nenachonnum Urugala Podi
Sogathil Onnum Valakkala Thadi
Geththu Kattitu Azhuvurane
Azhuthu Mudichittu Sirikkirane
Thenmozhi Poongodi Vadi Poche En Chedi
The sweet talker! The flowering creeper! You have left me speechless.
Vanmadhi Paingili Aasai Theera Vatu Nee
The moon! The parrot! You torture me as you like.
Nejama Na Senja Pavam
The whole-hearted love I have for you,
Muzhusa Un Mela Vedhacha Pasam
is the sin that I have committed.
Nezhalum Pinnala Kanom
My shadow has also left me.
Adhukkum Ammadi Pudhusa Kovam
It looks like it is also angry with me.
Pale Inga Therala Payasam Kekkutha Kaththe Inga Veesala Kaththadi Kekkutha
I haven’t professed…
Un Mela Kuththam Ila Nee Onnum Nanum Ila
You are not at fault. And you are not me.
Thenmozhi Poongodi Vadi Poche En Chedi
The sweet talker! The flowering creeper! You have left me speechless.
Vanmadhi Paingili Aasai Theera Vatu Nee
The moon! The parrot! You torture me as you like.
Unna Nenachonnum Urugala Podi
Sogathil Onnum Valakkala Thadi
Geththu Kattitu Azhuvurane
Azhuthu Mudichittu Sirikkirane
Thenmozhi Poongodi Vadi Poche En Chedi
The sweet talker! The flowering creeper! You have left me speechless.
Vanmadhi Paingili Aasai Theera Vatu Nee
The moon! The parrot! You torture me as you like.
