Translation of Key Lyrics

Kannan ennum mannan perai solla solla
As I keep uttering the name of my king, called Kannan (Krishna)

Kallum mullum poovai maarum mella mella
Stones and thorns slowly turn into flowers

Ennam ennum aasai padagu sella sella
As the boat of desire called thought travels on

Vellam perugum penmai ullam thulla thulla
The feminine heart leaps and overflows with love

Akkam pakkam yaarum paarthaal vetkam vetkam
If anyone around looks, I feel shy

Anbe unnai neril kandaal naanam naanam
My love, if I see you in person, I feel timid/bashful

Summary of Emotions

The lyrics highlight the transforming power of love, where difficulties (stones and thorns) become soft (flowers) because she is intoxicated by her affection for him. It is a portrayal of total devotion, inner joy, and the shy anticipation of meeting the loved one.
