Jikki’s ‘Vandu Vandhu Paadaamal’ from the album ‘Nalla Theerppu’ blends Ku. Ma. Balasubramaniyam’s nature metaphors with S. M. Subbaih Naidu’s whimsical composition. Playful vocals frame a romantic dialogue between flowers, bees, and reluctant lovers.

Vandu Vandhu Paadaamal Lyrics Translation – Nalla Theerppu Soundtrack
Ku. Ma. Balasubramaniyam questions whether jasmine releases fragrance without bees or breeze, mirroring the lover’s hesitation. A honey metaphor asks why one would pay for what’s already in hand, using simple rural imagery to challenge resistance.
Vandu Vanthu PaadaamalIf the bee doesn’t come and sing,
Thendral Vanthu TheendaamalIf the breeze doesn’t come and touch it,
Vandu Vanthu PaadaamalIf the bee doesn’t come and sing,
Thendral Vanthu TheendaamalIf the breeze doesn’t come and touch it,
Vanna Malar Mullai Manam Vaari VeesumaaWill the colorful jasmine flower scatter its fragrance freely?
Vandu Vanthu PaadaamalIf the bee doesn’t come and sing,
Thendral Vanthu TheendaamalIf the breeze doesn’t come and touch it,
Vanna Malar Mullai Manam Vaari VeesumaaWill the colorful jasmine flower scatter its fragrance freely?
Kenja Kenja Minjuvathil AnanthamaaIs there joy in resisting while I keep pleading?
Unnai Konja Vantha Vanjiyidam Veen KobamaaWhy this useless anger toward the girl who came to love you?
