“Vizhuthe Thalavizhuthe” from the album Maaman features singers Hesham Abdul Wahab, Sean Roldan, Sanjana Kalmanje, and Manikandan. Fernando S Manoharan wrote the lyrics, and Hesham Abdul Wahab composed the music. The verses begin with the image of a banyan tree’s prop root falling, setting a tone of structural collapse.

Maaman’s Vizhuthe Thalavizhuthe Lyrics Translation
The lyrics state that without a key person, one becomes a tree destined for firewood. A following line describes the speaker as a “walking river,” an aimless force without a path. These phrases show a complete loss of function and direction after a family separation.

The track returns to the refrain of a tree fated to become firewood. This repetition ties personal survival directly to a reunion with a specific person. The song concludes that even with a hundred people nearby, the absence of one person makes the world empty.
