Anju Vanna Poove Lyrics Meaning
Anju Vanna Poove is a sorrowful lullaby where a parent longs for their lost child, lovingly called a “five-hued blossom.” The child once filled their world with joy, seen in lines like “Nilava meeri vinaava soodi” (You outshone the moon and wore curiosity like a crown), but now they are gone. Life feels empty and painful, “Vazhi vazhi ellam, vedi nedi” (The path is full of thorns and stones). Yet, the only comfort left is the memory, “Ul irundhu pesum, otha kural podhum” (Just that one voice from within is enough), showing how deep love and loss remain forever in the heart.
