Vayathu Vandha Lyrics Translation – Bhavani | Chorus | L. R. Eswari
L. R. Eswari and Chorus deliver ‘Vayathu Vandha’ from the album ‘Bhavani,’ a vibrant Tamil celebration of confident young women. Kannadasan wrote the lyrics for this M. S. Vishwanathan composition. The track asserts female agency with unbridled joy.
Kannadasan describes young women as “golden-hued fish” and “living sculptures.” He asks why the heart still celebrates pleasure, implicitly questioning marriage norms. The song presents these women as the essence of youth’s vivacity.
Vayathu Vantha PengalYoung women who’ve come of age,
Valibathin Kangal Manathu Konda MangalThey’re the very eyes of youth, women with captured hearts.
Manjal Vanna MeengalThey’re golden-hued fish.
Puli Konda Velli VattamTheir eyes, a silver gleam with a tiger’s intensity,
Thullukindra Kanniyargal KanangalThe dancing eyes of maidens.
