Kalyanam Panni Paar’s Vaazhvedhu Suga Vaazhvedhu Lyrics Translation

The lyrics challenge the idea of predetermined destiny. One line questions if it is right to deny women’s rights in the land of the Tamils. The song then connects current suffering directly to the “foolish customs” established by ancestors.

The song progresses from a personal question about fate to a direct accusation against society. It presents personal tragedy not as an accident but as the outcome of harmful traditions like dowry. This re-frames individual suffering as a collective failure of social customs.
