Thillai Ambalam Shabdam Lyrics MEANING
Stanza 1
(Thillai Ambalam ---- VaruVaarodi?)
The lovelorn heroine asks:
"When will Lord Nataraja, who dances in the temple/hall at cidambaram, come to understand/realize in his heart my boundless love for him?
Oh friend, will he at least come here"'
Stanza 2
(Karpanaikkum ---- Yendai?)
The heroine wonders:
"Why is it that his amazing dance, performed in the skies above that is even beyond my imagination, has entrenched (fixed) itself in my heart and is torturing me so?
Oh friend, why does my spirit suffer so?"
Stanza 3
(Svappanatthil ---- TherumO)
She continues to wonder:
"Will the God that I beheld in my dreams ever become my very own husband/Lord? Will the desire of this insignificant and foolish woman ever reach the heart of the one who dances in the hall (of Chidambaram)?
Oh friend, will my grieving heart be reassured ?"
Stanza 4
(Tha Dhi ---- Kooradee)
She beseeches:
"As the Thaalams and the drums resound to SollukaTTu that go "That dhi Thaam Dhimi, Dhi Dhi ThOm", will Ardhanaareeswara (Lord Shiva), the Lord who rules my heart, come to me with eager anticipation? Please tell me the (astrological) signs that foretell this.
