Sempoove poove un megam naan Vandhaal oru vazhi undo

Saayandhadum sangil thuli pattaalum Muthaagidum muthundaee…

Padai kondu nadakkum manmadha silayo ohoo
Mannavan viralgal pallavan uliyo ohoo.

Imaigal udhadugal aagumo oh Vetkathin vidumurai aayulin varai dhaano

Sempoove poove un megam naan Vandhaal oru vazhi undo

Saayandhadum sangil thuli pattaalum Muthaagidum muthundaee…

Andhi chooriyanum kundril saaya Megham vandhu kachchai aagha
Kaaman thanghum mogha poovil Muththa gumaalam

Thanga thingal netri pottum ittu Vennilaavin kannam thottu
Nenjil aadum swasa chootil Kaadhal kutralam

Thaen thelikkum thendralaai Ninnarugil vandhu naan
Selai nadhi oramaai neendhi vilayadaava

Naalum minnal konjum Thaazhampoovai cholli

Aasai kenikkullae Aadum meengal thulli

Kattilum kaalvali kollaadho Kaivalai kaigalai keeriyadho

Sempoove poove un megam naan Vandhaal oru vazhi undo

Saayandhadum sangil thuli pattaalum Muthaagidum muthundaee…

Indha thaamarai poo theeyil indru Kaathirukku ullam nondhu
Kangal ennum thoondil Thumbhi paadi chellaadho

Andha kaaman ambu ennai chuttu Paavai nenjin naanam chuttu
Megalayin nool arukkum selai pon poove

Vimmiyadhu thaamarai Vandhu thodum naalilaa
Paavai mayil saayudhae Mannanan mani maarbilo

Muthathalae pennae Selai neiven kannae

Naanathaal orr aadai Soodi kolven naanae

Paayagum madi solladhae Panjanai pudhayal ragasiyamae

Saayandhadum sangil thuli pattaalum Muthaagidum muthundaee…

Sempoove poove un megam naan Vandhaal oru vazhi undo

Saayandhadum sangil thuli pattaalum Muthaagidum muthundaee…

Song Meaning & Analysis

This song is a passionate and poetic expression of intense romantic desire and longing. The male protagonist addresses his beloved as a "red flower," metaphorically asking if there's a way for him to unite with her, comparing their union to a drop transforming into a pearl in a conch. The lyrics are rich with classical Tamil literary allusions, portraying the woman as a divine beauty, a statue of Manmadha, whose presence evokes profound emotions and physical yearning. The imagery of the evening sun, clouds, and the festival of kisses paints a vivid picture of an intimate, sensual encounter.

The song delves deeper into the anticipation and consummation of love, with the lover expressing his desire to be close to her, to play like a saree by the river, and to witness her shyness. The lyrics beautifully capture the playful yet profound aspects of love, where even the bed and bangles seem to feel the intensity of their passion. The metaphor of the lotus waiting in fire and the arrow of Kamadeva burning shyness away further emphasizes the burning desire and the inevitable surrender to love, culminating in a secret, treasured intimacy.
