T. M. Soundarajan and P. Susheela perform the duet “Vaa Antha Ulagathin” from the album Odumnadhi. Lyricist Kannadasan and composer M. S. Viswanathan created the song. It opens with an invitation to a secret place, beginning with the line “Come, one side of that world is here.” This opening creates a private, romantic space for the two singers.

Odumnadhi’s Vaa Antha Ulagathin Lyrics Translation
The song’s lyrics add details to this secluded world. A key image is a “mansion with no windows,” a place for total privacy. The singers later declare there is “no such thing as enough,” proposing a connection without limits.

Vaa Antha Ulagathin Music Video
The song moves from an invitation into the full creation of a shared, private reality. Its verses progress from questions to confident declarations of an endless union. The performance presents a relationship that exists completely on its own terms.
