“Vaanile Thaarake Thedunnitha” by Ayraan and Sruthi Sivadas appears on the album 4 Years. Lyricist Arathi Mohan and composer Shankar Sharmma present a quiet invitation. The verses begin with a search for a star in the sky and a life force upon the earth.
The lyrics later question any shyness to meet, noting the time when the sky and earth join. Another line offers trust, comparing the mind to a calm ocean where a loved one can find peace. This invitation is made with complete assurance.
Vaanile Thaarakhe ThedunnithaI’m searching for the star in the sky
Kaattin Theerangalil BhuvilOn the shores of the wind, upon this earth
Thinkalin Therilaay VanneedooCome on the chariot of the moon
Vaathil Chaari Nee Varoo Sakhi Varoo VarooClose the door and come, my love, come, come
Kanimozhi Neeyen Kanavile KoottilSweet-voiced one, into the nest of my dreams
Anayuvaanayi PoonilaraavilCome close on this moonlit night
Mandham Mandham Viriyumee PoovilAs this flower slowly, slowly blooms
Arikilaay Paayum Thenkili VaaCome, O honeybird flying near
Vaanile Jeevane Thedunnu NjanI am searching for my life force in the sky
Kaattin Theerangalil BhuvilOn the shores of the wind, upon this earth
Thinkalin Therilaay VanneedumYou will come on the chariot of the moon
Vaathil Chaari Nee Varoo Melle Nee Varoo VarooClose the door and come, come softly, come, come
Kanimozhi Neeyen Kanavile KoottilSweet-voiced one, into the nest of my dreams
Anayuvaanayi PoonilaraavilCome close on this moonlit night
Mandham Mandham Viriyumee PoovilAs this flower slowly, slowly blooms
Arikilaay Paayum Thenkili VaaCome, O honeybird flying near
Kootinayi Varaanenthinee NaanamWhy this shyness to come and join me?
Vaanavum Bhoomiyum Cherumee VelayilAt this moment when the sky and earth meet
Ninavukal Itha PookkaalangalaayBehold, these thoughts have become a season of bloom
Kanavukal Itha VinmeghangalaayBehold, these dreams have become clouds in the sky
Shaanthamaam Saagaram Polayen MaanasamMy mind is like a calm ocean
Neeyathil NeeraadidumAnd you will bathe within it
Kanimozhi Neeyen Kanavile KoottilSweet-voiced one, into the nest of my dreams
Anayuvaanayi PoonilaraavilCome close on this moonlit night
Mandham Mandham Viriyumee PoovilAs this flower slowly, slowly blooms
Arikilaay Paayum Thenkili VaaCome, O honeybird flying near
Vaanile Thaarakhe Thedunnu NjanI am searching for the star in the sky
Kaattin Theerangalil BhuvilOn the shores of the wind, upon this earth
Thinkalin Therilaay VanneedooCome on the chariot of the moon
Vaathil Chaari Nee Varoo Sakhi Varoo VarooClose the door and come, my love, come, come
The song progresses from a gentle search to a confident promise of sanctuary. Its images connect personal feelings to cosmic events, like the moon’s arrival or the meeting of sky and earth. This approach frames the request to meet as a natural, destined occurrence.
