Yennai Maatrum Kadhale Lyrics Meaning Allan Preetham | Vignesh Shivan | Naanum Rowdy Dhaan
The lyrics writer, Vignesh Shivan, describes love as a magical web that no one can escape. Sid Sriram sings, ‘Even if I’m left shattered in pieces, having your memory is all I’ll ever need.’ The song uses the metaphor of a ‘rebel without a knife or blood’ to show a softer, more honest side of strength.
Edhukaaga Kitta VandhaaloWhy’d she come so close to me?
Edha Thedi Vittu PonaaloWhat was she looking for when she left?
VizhundhaalumEven if I fall,
Naan Odanje Poi IrundhaalumEven if I’m completely broken,
Un Ninaivirundhaale PodhumYour memory alone’s enough for me.
Nimirndhiduvene NaanumI’ll surely stand tall again.
Ada Kaadhal Enbadhu MaayavalaiOh, love is just a magical web.
Sikkaamal Ponavan Yaarum IllaiNo one’s ever escaped from getting caught in it.

Naan Odanje Poi IrundhaalumEven if I’m left shattered in pieces,
Un Ninaivirundhaale PodhumHaving your memory is all I’ll ever need.
