Song Meaning of “Kottaikku Vantha” by Krishnaraj
Kottaikku Vantha is a song about the longing for a lost loved one. The lyrics address the feelings of nostalgia, loneliness, and pain the singer experiences at their absence. The song speaks to the longing to stand still in time, to return to those cherished moments with the one they love.
The chorus “Kottaikku vandha kooda unna veetu, ennai konnudhu maarbin, kottaikku vandha, yedhu vaazhum nee” translates to “Everything comes and goes in life, and I don’t understand why, whatever it was, will stay with you.” This expresses the pain of being left behind and not understanding why the one you loved is no longer there.
The singer expresses their grief by reminiscing about the past, no longer able to hold on to the dream of what could have been. They look back at the memories fondly, wishing they could go back in time and be with the one they love again. The lyrics “Nee eppo mudhal mazhai edhirkaaro” mean “From the beginning, the rain was decieving.” This line symbolizes the unfulfilled longing that the singer feels; despite the storms and difficult times they had experienced before, they still held onto the hope of being with the one they love, only to have that expectation soon crushed.
