Vinmeen Vithayil - Thegidi

This is a feel good song with beautiful lyrics.. I had watched the movie late in the night and had not paid much attention to this song.. Then, after a long time, I saw this song in my "Youtube Suggestions" list and gave it a try and yes, I Love It!

Rendered beautifully by Abhay Jodhpurkar and Saindhavi

Here are the lyrics and the translation for you:

Vinmeen Vithaiyil Nilavaai Mulaithaen
Penmeen Vizhiyil Enaiye Tholaithen
Mazhaiyin Isai kettu Malare Thalaiyaatu
Mazhalai Mozhipola Manathil Oru Paatu
Ini Neeyum Naanum Ondraai Sernthaal
Kaathal Irandu Ezhutthu

From the seeds of the sky I grew a moon
I lost myself in the eyes of this girl 
("Meen" literally means fish, but in this context refers to the eyes, owing to the shape)
O Flower! Shake your heads to the music of the rain
There's a song in my heart like the babbling of a kid
If you and I become one 
Love would be just 2 words.. 
(I am guessing it is because the word "Naam" which means "us" has only 2 letters in Tamil)

Vinmeen Vithaiyil Nilavaai Mulaithaen
Penmeen Vizhiyil Enaiye Tholaithen
Mazhaiyin Isai kettu Malare Thalaiyaatu
Mazhalai Mozhipola Manathil Oru Paatu
Ini Neeyum Naanum Ondraai Sernthaal
Kaathal Irandu Ezhutthu

Vinmeen Vithaiyil Nilavaai Mulaithaen
Penmeen Vizhiyil Enaiyea Tholaithen

Naan Pesaatha Mounam Elaam
Un Kangal Pesum
Unai Kaanatha Neram Ennai
Ghadikaaram Ketkum
Manal Meethu Thoorum Mazhai Polave
Manathodu Neethaan Nuzhainthaayadee
Muthan Pen Thaane Nee Thaane
Enakkul Naane Eerpaene
Ini Neeyum Naanum Ondraai Sernthaal
Kaathal Irandu Ezhuthu


The silence that I never spoke
Were spoken by your eyes
The times that I don't see you
The watch keeps calling me
Like the rain that falls on sand
You have seeped through my heart
The first girl in my life; You are the one
I will welcome you within me
If you and I become one 
Love would be just 2 words..

Oru Penaaga Un Mel Naane
Peraasai Konden
Unai Munnale Parkumpothu
Pesaamal Nindren
Etharkaaga Unnai Ethirpaarkiren
Enakulle Naanum Dhinam Ketkiren
Inimel Naane Neeyaanen
Ivan Pinaale Povene
Ini Neeyum Naanum Ondraai Sernthaal
Kaathal Irandu Ezhuthu

As a girl I have
Extreme love for you
When I see you before me 
I stood muted
Why do I expect you?
I ask this question to myself everyday
Now I have become just like you
I will go behind him
If you and I become one 
Love would be just 2 words.. 

Vinmeen Vithaiyil Nilavaai Mulaithaen
Penmeen Vizhiyil Enaiye Tholaithen
Mazhaiyin Isaikettu Malare Thalaiyaatu
Mazhalai Mozhipola Manathil Oru Paatu
Ini Neeyum Naanum Ondraai Sernthaal
Kaathal Irandu Ezhuthu
Vinmeen Vithaiyil Nilavaai Mulaithaen
Penmeen Vizhiyil Enaiye Tholaithen

  3. Dear Remya,
    Thanks for the translation. My wife asked me the meaning of this song (she doesnt speak Tamil) after she liked the song. If it were not for your work, I would have had a tough time :)

  8. Ini Neeyum Naanum Ondraai Sernthaal

    The below explanation is from the lyricist Kabilan.

    The song starts with the line, Veinmeen Vidhayil Nilavaai Mulaithen. The line you are talking about is not simply telling, Love has two letters, it comes like this, Neeyum Naanum Ondraai Saerndhal Kadhal irandu ezhuthu. It does not mean directly like Love has two letters. Not only you, but also many fans have asked me the same question in the social media also. In the Tamil literature the word Ka means Garden and most of the times, lovers meet in the gardens mostly in those ancient times. Then the word Tha means accepting ( lovers giving and accepting love ). Then the word il means home / family. In that movie the hero and heroin of the movie Thegidi are being lovers only at the time of song and they are still not starting their life together. Thus love has two letters only.
