She is in love. She is happy. What is so special in the air today? What is so special about that scent in the air today? It is the youth that just arrived, the solitude, and the sweetness of it all.

inRu varum kARRinilE enna visEsham - athu
Enthi varum vAsanaiyil enna visEsham
iLamai puthumai thanimai inimai

Will her love survive the difficulties? She is full of doubts and questions. She sees beauty and happiness in everything, but she questions it all. This happiness does come with pain and doubts.

vaNNamazai mEgaththilE Oviyam uNdO - athu
manathil uLLa Oviyaththai varaivathum uNdO
anna nadai pOduthammA ARRu veLLamE - EthO
Asai vali pattathamma nathiyin uLLamE

She is in love with a man from another caste. The lyricist says it with absolute poetic beauty - An "aal" is longing to marry an "arasu".
He goes furhter and equates the appearance of the "aal" to her state of mind. The "aal" with her ungroomed hair waits there in despair.

Alamaram thalai viriththu niRpathum enna - oru
arasanukku mAlaiyida thudippathum enna

There is love and romance everywhere. The sparrows are in love. The rooster is romancing the hen. The cuckoos are singing in joy. The peacock and peahen are making love. There are no divisions among them. The lotus is looking up at the sky for her lover. The sun, her lover, comes and embraces her. Does the sun have a caste?

thAmaraippU vAnathtaiyE pArppathum enna - athai
thazuva vantha sUriyanin jAthithAn enna

Is there a language for the words in one's heart? Or is there a device to capture the images in one's mind? Do eyes have boundaries? Do all women have a shrine in their hearts? Are there bonds that do not care abouts divisions? Who knows which heart connects with which heart? I am the query and I am the answer.

nenjil uLLa vArththaikkellAm bAshaigaL uNdO - antha
ninaivugaLai padam pidikka karuviyum uNdO

Such brilliant lines of poetry, a smoothly flowing composition, lovely veena, flute, violin and tabla. And above all the voice that brings everything together and carries the whole song on its expressive shoulders. VJ's trademark stresses at the right places, and the right expressions at the right words bring the listener one with the song. This is a song I came to know only a few months ago, but was released more than two decades ago. Thanks to sk for this lovely song that I listen to everyday and have memorized fully. If someone said that this song was composed by MSV, I would have believed it. Or if someone said that it was by IR, I would have believed it too. I hear both of them in the composition. But VJ said that this was by R.Govardhanam... and I believe her. Lyricist unknown. Another beautiful song from the same movie (Kadavulin Theerppu) is "anbu thalaivan kAladi chuvattil", a VJ-TMS duet.
