    very much, I really like this song and thought Valli's lyrics was a very strong point to this song...so wanted to know for sure what the lyrics meant. Am indebted to you for sure I'm thinking it's like when they say "kodutha vachaven" what it is exactly they are giving and keeping is not exactly clear to me...perhaps karma?

    "geetha.. sangeetha" song from movie Anbey Sangeetha, there is a line that goes:

    ..oru panjanaiyil iru pyngiligal oodum, vilaiyadum..

    what does this line mean?

    Thanks!

    IIRC, that line goes like 'koodum, viLaiyAdum' (should listen to the song again to confirm).

    Which is pretty straight forward - 'koodum = have intercourse', 'viLaiyAdum = play'.

    If it really is 'oodum, viLaiyAdum', it makes sense then too. As 'oodal' that means "friction / saNdai / kObiththukkoLLudhal" etc, is also part of the man-woman relationship. Once the couple reconcile their differences ("sealed with a kiss" at times), then there'll be "viLaiyAdal in panjaNai" - means, "play on the bed"

    BTW, phrase by phrase translation:

    oru panjaNaiyil = on one bed
    iru paingiLikaL = two parrots (man & woman)
    oodum = 'kOvichchukkum' / fight (or 'koodum' = 'sEndhukkum' / have relation)
    viLaiyAdum = play

    Thanks app_engine! konjam earthyaavey explain panniteenga..

    i listened to the song again.. sounds like oodum.. and imo the meaning in oodum feels better than koodum. i know manjam means bed - used in many songs. have never heard the word panjanai except in this song. lovely lovely song! thanks again!

    You're right - manjam is bed.

    "panjaNai" is literally panju+aNai, i.e. panju meththai. In other words, just the cotton-filled mattress (not the whole bed)
