Headphones and ambient volume

Play the song and enjoy the meaning



Nenjukkul peidhidum maamazhai
A gentle rainstorm in my heart

Neerukul moozhgidum thaamarai
A delicate lotus sinks in its waters

Sattendru maarudhu vaanilai
Suddenly the weather changes

Penne un mel pizhai!
Girl, it's all your fault!
(that I feel all this when I think of you)

Nillamal veesidum peralai
Ceaseless waves (of love) crash
(on me)

Nenjukkul neenthidum thaaragai
My sweetheart swims in my heart

Pon vannam soodiya kaarigai
A dazzling precious damsel

Penne nee kaanchanai
Girl you are golden

Oh shaanthi shaanti oh shaanthi
Oh Shanthi..

Yen uyirai uyirai neeyenthi
You have taken away my heart

Yen sendraai sendraai yennai thaandi
Why did you cross over
and beyond me?

Ini neethan yenthan andhaathi
Hereafter you alone are
my beginning and ending

Nenjukkul peidhidum maamazhai
A gentle rainstorm in my heart

Neerukul moozhgidum thaamarai
A lotus sinking in its waters

Sattendru maarudhu vaanilai
Suddenly the weather changes

Penne un mel pizhai
Girl its all your fault!

...instrumental interlude...

Yedho ondru yennai eerkka
Something unknown attracts me
(to you)

Mookin nuni marmam serkka
Even the tip of your nose seems
mysterious (alluring)

Kalla thanam yethum illaa
There is no mischief or foul play

Punnagaiyo bogam illa
There is nothing else in
your innocent smile

Nee nindra idam endraal vilai yeri pogaadho
If they are the places where you stand,
won't their prices fly high?

Nee sellum vazhi ellam panikatti aagadho
The pathways where you wander,
won't they freeze into ice?

Yennodu vaa veedu varaikkum
Come with me, till my home

Yen veetai paar, yennai pidikkum
See my home, you'll definitely like me

Ival yaaro yaaro theriyaadhe
Who is this girl? I know not

Ival pinnal nenje pogaadhe
Don't follow her, oh heart!

Idhu poiyo meyyo theriyaadhe
Is this a lie or reality? I know not

Ival pinnal nenje pogaadhe
Don't follow her, oh heart!

Nenjukkul peidhidum maamazhai
A gentle rainstorm in my heart

Neerukul moozhgidum thaamarai
A delicate lotus sinks in its waters

Sattendru maarudhu vaanilai
Suddenly the weather changes

Penne un mel pizhai...ohh..
Girl, it's all your fault!

Nillamal veesidum peralai
Ceaseless waves (of love) crash
(on me)

Nenjukkul neenthidum thaaragai
My sweetheart swims in my heart

Pon vannam soodiya kaarigai
A dazzling precious damsel

Penne nee kaanchanai
Girl you are golden

..........

Thookangalai thooki chendraai
(thooki sendrai)
You've taken away my peaceful slumber
(taken away)

Yekkangalai thoovi chendraai
Yearnings, you've spread plenty

Unnai thaandi pogum bodhu
(pogum bodhu)
Whenever I cross paths with you
(when I do)

Veesum kaatrin veechu veru
The wind changes its direction

Nil endru nee sonnal,
yen kaalum nagaradhe
If you tell me to stop,
my feet won't move

Nee soodum poovellam
oru podhum udhiradhe
The flowers you wear,
will never wither

Kadhal enai ketkka villa
Love didn't ask me
(before making me fall for you)

Kettaal adhu kadhal illa
If it had, then its not love

Yen jeevan jeevan neethane
yena thondrum neram idhuthane
This is the time when
I feel you to be my life and soul

Nee illai illai yendrale
yen nenjam nenjam thaangadhe
If you are no longer there,
my heart can't bear it

Nenjukkul peidhidum maamazhai
A gentle rainstorm in my heart

Neerukul moozhgidum thaamarai
A delicate lotus sinks in its waters

Sattendru maarudhu vaanilai
Suddenly the weather changes

Oh shaanthi shaanti oh shaanthi
Oh Shanthi..

Yen uyirai uyirai neeyenthi
You have taken away my heart

Yen sendraai sendraai yennai thaandi
Why did you cross over and beyond me?

Ini neethan yenthan andhaathi
Hereafter you are
my beginning and ending

This is such a feel good, clean song that is a forever part of my mixed playlists.

The words are very soothing, the voice very soulful with a perfect balance of yearnings and innocence, the music is off the charts amazingly composed.

On the whole, its a classic masterpiece of a song, with literally no direct or indirect allusions to objectifying any body parts (a relief) and quite frankly, a song that portrays love in its most innocent and universally enjoyable form.

The lyrics, which are my favourite (!!), have a lovely word play that convey deep meaning without even trying to.

The musical score, which is a classic masterpiece, surprises you with unexpected yet perfectly fitting interludes and change of pace.

Its a song that makes you want to hear and hum along with it :)

Wear headphones, relax your posture and feel your heart melt while listening to this beauty.

Nenjukul Maamazhai Peidhidume!

Faulty Teaching

We are taught to "appear" amazing on the outside not to feel amazing on the inside We are taught to hide our flaws  and be ashamed of them  not to work with our flaws  and see their value We are taught to silence and suppress  our inner demons  not to understand and heal them We are taught to appear aloof  and keep it "cool"  when expressing and managing our emotions healthily is better We are taught asking for help is weak when help is what we need We are taught that feeling anger,  jealousy, lust, resentment is bad when these are all valid feelings  carrying a deeper meaning We learn to put on a convincingly happy face when we feel dead and lonely inside We are taught to be vigilant  and to trust nobody not to be compassionate  with healthy boundaries We are taught to coldly judge  and be smartly sarcastic not to warmly understand  and lovingly speak...
