Manu Manjith tells of a skylark whose feathers wilt in the scorching sun. He asks if the bird stands alone on the shore of tears, where silence trembles. The lyrics describe deep sorrow and endless aches burning inside.
VaanambaadiO skylark.
Erivenal Veyilithil Thooval VaadumYour feathers wilt in this scorching summer sun.
