Veettuku Veedu Vasapadi’s Thogai Kaiyil Regai Lyrics Translation
The male speaker playfully uses the affliction to forecast a delayed marriage and adopted children. She counters by stating that two astrological negatives will combine to make a positive life together. Her argument turns his superstition into a reason for them to unite.
