அன்பே இது நிஜம்தானா, என் வானில் புது விண்மீனா!
About the song “Anbae Ithu”
A.R. Rahman’s composition “Anbae Ithu” from the movie “Rhythm” captures a love so profound it creates a “new constellation” in the sky of the beloved. With poignant lyrics by Vairamuthu and Sadhana Sargam’s soulful rendition, the song describes an affection so deep that it intertwines two lives, causing the world to stand still. This isn’t merely a romantic connection; it’s a bittersweet surrender where the heart willingly empties itself, finding beauty even in the pain. It’s depicted as a pure, untouched affection, a sacred bond immune to worldly defilement. This transcendent love defies physical boundaries and fleeting moments, rooted instead in a deeper connection where two souls align and become one.
My love, is this for real?
A new constellation in my sky!
Whom did my heart beg to follow?
What courage lets it leave me hollow?
Yet these wounds rhyme so sweet…
Clouds pour with joyful feet,
Where do those rain-songs go?
To spy on flowers that bloom below —
Silent, secret, in shadows deep.
No touch defiled its velvet grace,
No nail dared mar its sacred space.
No trembling pause, no shy retreat —
Our love transcends time, name, and place.
Your gaze met mine — two worlds aligned,
One vision born, two spirits twined.
When your life knotted with mine,
The world forgot to turn or shine.
If love can rise when called by name,
Then nameless is its sacred flame.
If the moon climbs when you sigh,
It needs no voice to touch the sky.
யாரைக் கேட்டது இதயம்…
Whom did my heart ask for?
