Mandram Vandha Song (Mouna Ragam) (1986)

என்னோடு நீ வந்தால் என்ன..!

About “Mandram Vandha” Song

“Mandram Vandha Thendralukku” is a classic Tamil song from the film Mouna Ragam (1986), directed by Mani Ratnam. The lyrics were written by Vaali, the music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja and the song was sung by S. P. Balasubramanyam.

Emotionally, the song carries a tender ache—like a private conversation with the wind about love that lingers after separation. It blends nostalgia, longing and quiet resignation, expressing how memories can feel vivid even when a relationship has changed. There’s softness in its yearning, but also maturity: an acceptance that some emotions remain unspoken, living on in silence, distance and time.

Oh, gentle breeze that graced our sacred hearth and vow,
Why turn shy before the hush of our moonlit bed.
The instant my fingers brush your silvered face—
a full moon—flame flowers through my veins;

Tell me, my love, does any dawn forbid the raga of love?

Life’s no play where curtains fall and players part;

Our bond’s no winding river, shifting paths with fickle heart.
Like the silver moon forever wed to endless sky above—

Why won’t you stay and walk with me in love?

Why do lovers live like drops on lotus leaves, 
Apart though wed with garlands, drums and vows? 
Oh flower, what is life without love’s tender claim? 
What is a bloom that turns away from the bee and the sun?

பூவே உன் வாழ்க்கை தான் என்ன சொல்..!
