En mel vizhundha mazhai thuli pole Un mel vizhundhena uLLam kuzhanthai pole Mella nill nila pagalum podhum podhum Vella nilaiku malarnthidum poovai pole en mel vizhundha lyrics
Kan vizhithaal kaatchi theriyum, Kannil enna kanden naan... (When I open my eyes, I see a vision, What did I see in your eyes...) The lyrics are a masterpiece of simple yet profound poetry
