Iniyavale Endru Paadi Vandhen, Sivagamiyin Selvan (1974)

Iniyavale Endru Paadi Vandhen from the 1974 Tamil film Sivagamiyin Selvan is a classic romantic duet. The title and lyrics describe the blooming of a deep romantic connection and the realisation that the person they were singing to has now become their life partner.

The song follows a pattern where the male lead (Sivaji Ganesan) and female lead (Vanisri) express their mutual affection.

Iniyavale Endru Paadi Vandhen: (Male) "I came singing, calling you 'Sweetheart'."
Iniyavalthaan Endru Aagi Vittaen: (Male) "Now, it has come true that you are indeed my sweetheart."
Iniyavane Endru Paadi Vandhen: (Female) "I came singing, calling you 'Sweet One'."
Ini Avanthaan Endru Aagi Vittaen: (Female) "Now, he has become the only one for me."

The lyrics emphasise that what started as a search or a song of longing has turned into a committed reality. The male singer describes his partner as one who carries all happiness within her youthfulness ("Inbamellam endhi varum ilamai kondaval").

The couple sings about their hearts becoming one for a thousand years ("Orayiram kaalam indha ullam ondraaga") and looking forward to an auspicious day ("Thirunaal varum"). The female singer praises the male's voice and character, comparing his sweetness to the seven musical notes ("Ezhishaiyil moganamaai inimai thandhavan").
