Kanmani Anbodu Kadhalan-Tamil with English Lyrics

Another great Tamil song.This song is also dubbed in telugu as Priyatama nee Vachata kusalama.I was actually introduced to the telugu version of this song when my grad school classmate (hahahha..he had a little crush on me back then) played this for me one day.We went on to be great buddies and we always look up to each other for support.

This song gained more popularity,after the release of the Malayalam movie Premam.If you have seen Premam ,this is the song Nivin Pauly's friends sing when he tells them that he has the hots for Malar (Sai Pallavi).

           The original song is composed by Illaiyaraja Sir for the Tamil movie Guna.

  My fav version of this song sang by Sachin Siby.

Lyrics with English translation (Sachin Siby version)

Kanmani anboada kaadhalan,Naan eludhum kadidhame,

Apple of my eye, with great affection and love, I write this love letter to you
Ponmani unn veetil sowkiyamaa? Naan ingu sowkiyamae.

Oh love, are you fine in your house? Don’t worry, I am fine here

Unnai enni paarkkaiyil kavidhai kottuthu,

The anticipation of seeing you, brings prose easily,
Adhai elutha ninaikkauyil vaarthai mootuthu,

But when I write it down, my words clash,                         (Repeat)

Undaana kaayam yaavum, Thannaalae aari poagum, 

The wounds inflicted on me, heal by themselves

Maayam enna ponmaanae ponmaanae, 

What magic is this, my love my love

Enna kaayam aana podhum, Yen maeni thangi kollum, 
Any wound inflicted on me,heals by itself,

Undhan maeni thaangaadhu senthaenae, 

But you can’t withstand them, honey
Enthan kaadhal ennavendru sollaamal, Aenga aenga alugai vanthathu, 

Because I didn't tell you my love,
Enthan soagam unnai thaakkum, 

When I can’t express my love to you, tears come to my eyes
Endrenumbothu vandha alugai nindrathu, 

But then I realize that my sorrow will upset you
Manithar unarndha kolla, Idhu manitha kaadhal alla, 

This is no mortal love for humans to understand, 
Adhaiyum thaandi punithamaanathu, 
This is beyond that, pure and holy

Abiraamiyae, thaalattum saamiyae, Naandhaanae theriyumaa? 

O Goddess, I am the one who sings this lullaby, do you know that?
Sivagaamiyae sivanil neeyum paadhiyae, Adhuvum oonakku puriyumaa? 

O Goddess, you are reflection of Lord Siva, do you understand that?
Suba laali laali laali laali, 

So to sleep….Laali Laali Laali.... (Lullaby)
Abiraami laali laali laali...

O Goddess Laali Laali Laali…. (Lullaby)

Kanmani anboada kaadhalan,Naan eludhum kalidhamae

Apple of my eye, with great affection and love, I write this love letter to you
Ponmani unn veetil sowkiyamaa? Naan ingu sowkiyamae.

Oh love, are you fine in your house? Don’t worry, I am fine here

Unnai enni paarkkaiyil kavidhai kottuthu,

The anticipation of seeing you, brings prose easily,
Adhai elutha ninaikkauyil vaarthai mootuthu,

But when I write it down, my words clash, 

Lalla la lalla...alla …..(Humming)
