விழியில் ஏன் கோபமோ விரகமோ தாபமோ..!?
About “Neela Vanna Odaiyil” Song
The song “Neela Vanna Odaiyil” is from the 1982 Tamil movie “Vazhvey Maayam.” The lyrics were penned by the celebrated lyricist Vaali, the music was composed by Gangai Amaran, and it was sung by the legendary singer S.P. Balasubrahmanyam. The movie stars Kamal Haasan and Sridevi in pivotal roles.
The song evokes a deep romantic longing and the bittersweet emotions of love. It metaphorically uses the imagery of a “blue sky” and “white moonlight” to express the purity, beauty, and sometimes the pain of awaited love. The lyrics convey yearning and the emotional turmoils of separation, blending tenderness with melancholy. The melodic composition and soulful singing enhance the mood of affectionate contemplation and gentle sadness that the song carries
O moon, who drifts on rivers of the blue night sky,
Have all my fragile drawings bloomed within your starry eye?
My silent goddess, you dwell deep within my dreams,
So near my soul, yet never truly seen.
If Kalidasa sang through clouds to send his long lament,
Then I shall sing my love for you—my heart’s own testament.
O lovely bird, whose very lips bear honey’s gold,
Without you near, my very being feels undone and old.
What is this tender, sweet, bewildering knot you tie so near?
A tangled, lovely vine of love I’ll always hold dear.
Tomorrow, you and I shall wed beneath the sky’s endless dome,
The earth will rise, the sky will bow to bless the love we’ve sown.
Why do I see such pain, such rage, this grief-filled, sharp goodbye?
Where your spirit remains, my love, there too my heart shall lie.!
ஸ்ரீதேவியே, என் ஆவியே, எங்கே நீ அங்கே நான்தான்..!
