16 Tamil Lyrics & Their Meanings That Will Open Your Eyes to the Beauty and Poetry of Tamil

Malargal kaettaen vanamae thanthanai,

When translated, the above lines mean:

I asked for flowers, you gave me a garden

For anyone who understands even a little bit of Tamil, the translation of the lyrics will never do justice to the original lyrics of the song, for that's the beauty of Tamil.

There's something about this language that's absolutely divine. Especially when it's in the form of music and poems. Because in Tamil, love is not just a word. It's 'kadhal.' It's a feeling so deep that it overwhelms you.

In Tamil, calling someone beautiful is not just a mere compliment. It's 'azhagu.' It's an invocation to the gods of beauty, appreciating the magnificence of their handiwork. It's a language that is beautiful and poetic all at once.

To help you understand the beauty of Tami-zh, here are some heartrending lyrics from some of the popular songs:
