Naesam marakkavillai nenjam (3)
(Anupallavi)
Naesam marakkavillai nenjam (3)
But the heart doesn’t seem
to have forgotten the love
Enil ninaivu mugam marakkalaamoa
Than how could I forgot
that face from my memory?
(Pallavi)
(Charanam)
Kannan mugam maranthuponal, (3)
If I forget the face of
Krishna,
intha Kangal irunthu payan undo
What is the use of my eyes? (X2)
Vanna padamumillai kandaai,
I don’t even have picture of you (3)
ini Vaazhum vazhi
ennadi thozhi
Now how do I live my life like this,
my friend?

Even though I do not understand Thamil (just a few words and the script), I love the melody. Now I know the meaning of the words. Thanks. In any case, my enjoyment of music (whether Euro or Indian classical or rock fusion) derives from the melody and the singing and playing of instruments.
