Nivas K Prasanna | Prabhu Solomon • From “Sembi”
Sembi’s Uyiragi Tamil Lyrics English Meaning
Prabhu Solomon and Nithin Menon structure verses around organic growth: seed becomes tree, then ocean. Their shift to elemental forces appears in ‘Katrai Nee Piralagi Nee,’ where wind and flood replace botanical imagery. The English plea ‘Will you come for me’ contrasts preceding metaphors.

Uruvagitaking a form,
Karuvagibecoming an embryo,
Vidhaiagibecoming a seed.
VeragiBecoming a root,
