Veenai Pesum Lyrics Translation – Vazhvu En Pakkam Soundtrack
Kannadasan defines shyness as ‘the pleasure of an art form’ and silence as ‘a form of language.’ Yesudas asks his beloved to nurture him like a child, seeking comfort in her heartbeat.
Veenai Pesum Athai MeettumThe Veena speaks as it meets…
Viralgalai KanduThe fingers that strum it.
Thendral Pesum Adhu MothumThe breeze speaks as it gently brushes…
Malargalil NindruAgainst the flowers where it rests.
Veenai Pesum Athai MeettumThe Veena speaks as it meets…
Viralgalai KanduThe fingers that strum it.
Thendral Pesum Adhu MothumThe breeze speaks as it gently brushes…
Malargalil NindruAgainst the flowers where it rests.
Naanam Oru Vagai Kalaiyin SugamShyness is the pleasure of a certain art.
Mounam Oruvagai Mozhiyin PathamSilence is a form of language in itself.
