Aasa vachen un mela Machaan arali vachen kollaiyila
Aasa vachen un mela Machaan arali vachen kollaiyila
Aadharichaa nalladhaiyaa Illa arali vedha ulladhaiyaa
Arali vedha ulladhaiyaa
Aasa vachen… Un mela un mela
Sanda potta kenda meenu Rendum serndhu onnaachu
Rendum serndhu konjum podhu Yeri thanni thaenaachu
Thoondiyilae sikkavilla Suthi vara kokkum illa
Meenu rendum thoongayila Akkam pakkam yaarum illa
Rendu meenum kan muzhichaa Yeriyila thanni illa yeriyila thanni illa
Aasa vachen un mela Machaan arali vachen kollaiyila
Aasa vachen un melaun mela
Thennanthoppil enna paathu Sonna vaartha ennaachu
Appan pesum pecha kettu Kaadhu rendum punnaachu
Rekkai ellaam vetti puttu Nikkudhaiyaa pacha kili
Oorukkulla omalippu Vaadudhaiyaa vanji kodi
Kattililae thaengi nikkum Kanneer mattum rendu padi
Kanneer mattum rendu padi
Aasa vachen un mela Machaan arali vachen kollaiyila
Aasa vachen un mela Machaan arali vachen kollaiyila
Aadharichaa nalladhaiyaa Illa arali vedha ulladhaiyaa
Arali vedha ulladhaiyaa
Aasa vachen… Un mela un mela
Song Meaning & Analysis
This song, 'Aasai Vachen,' is a poignant folk-style lament from a woman expressing her deep, yet troubled, love. The imagery of planting oleander (a poisonous flower) in the backyard immediately sets a tone of desperate, perhaps forbidden, or even self-destructive affection. She yearns for her beloved's acceptance, implying that without it, her love will lead to sorrow or despair, symbolized by the 'oleander seed within.' The initial verses paint a picture of idyllic, free love, comparing their union to two carp fish finding solace and turning the lake water into honey, safe from external threats.
However, the mood shifts dramatically as the song progresses. The dream-like state of love is contrasted with a harsh reality where, if the fish awaken, there's no water left in the lake, suggesting the unsustainable nature of their secret world or the devastating consequences of their love. The lyrics then reveal the external pressures, particularly parental disapproval, which has left her 'ears sore.' She feels trapped and helpless, like a 'green parrot with clipped wings,' and withers like a 'slender creeper' despite outward appearances. The final lines emphasize her profound sorrow, with 'two measures of tears' stagnating on her bed, encapsulating the pain of a love that has brought more anguish than joy.
