About “Vaa vennila” Song
This hauntingly beautiful song from the 1986 Tamil film Mella Thirandhathu Kadhavu is composed by M. S. Viswanathan and Ilaiyaraaja, and sung by S. Janaki and S. P. Balasubrahmanyam. Set in a moment where the hero yearns for a love he hasn’t yet seen, the song blends poetic grandeur with deep emotional pull.
The lyrics are rich in celestial and devotional imagery, portraying the beloved as a divine being whose hidden face is both torment and blessing. The hero pleads for a glimpse, equating her presence with spiritual salvation, and his longing takes the shape of a sacred ritual.
Come, my Moon—
the sky’s empty throne aches for your face!
Why veil heaven’s art?
Walk unveiled through time and space.
I kneel before your sacred veil—
begging for denied sight,
Why lock heaven’s light
where stars weep through the night?
To cloak your face in shadow—
a sin against the divine!
Just once, unveil heaven’s grace…
let this starving soul be mine.
Grant me one glimpse of your face—
my shrine’s eclipse undone,
For lifetimes I’ve starved…
this sight alone is my sun.
Seven births scorched—
aching at your temple gate,
To be the silk at your waist…
is all my lifetimes’ fate.
When your flower-feet grace the dust—
petals kissing soil’s embrace,
Let me be that earth trembling
where your footsteps trace.
Each dawn,
I send the chill breeze—
a monsoon prayer
tracing your skin.
வா வெண்ணிலா..!
