Madhil Mel Kaadhal’s Valiye Tamil Lyrics English Meaning
Madhan Karky structures the plea around two direct commands: ‘Don’t leave me’ and ‘Don’t wipe away my tears.’ Nivas K Prasanna sings ‘I’ll carry you like my very life’ as a literal survival strategy, rejecting conventional healing narratives.

Vizhi Neerai NeekkatheDon’t wipe away my tears,
