Song Meaning of “Appan Mavanae Vaada” by Dharan Kumar
Appan Mavanae Vaada tells the story of a beloved, divine figure who is deeply embedded within the heart and soul of the singer. The singer expresses his sincere devotion to this divine being, pleading for grace and strength to overcome all of life’s struggles and hard times.
The song starts off describing the divine being as an “Appan,” or father, implying that the singer is a child of this divine being, sharing in a familial bond. It is then shown how the singer is striving to seek this person’s advice, comfort, and protection by singing the lines “maarum neram irangum neeyave.”
The second verse then expands on this theme of devotion and surrender by relaying the singer’s willingness to protect the beloved figure and to hold on to his blessings forever. The singer confesses his love for this figure and the transformation that the love has made in his life.
The chorus of the song is where the singer calls out to the divine figure to come to him, to save him from his troubles and suffering. He promises eternal love in return, vowing his devotion even if it means going through the “sevalaeri”.
The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing once again the singer’s devotion and surrender to this divine figure, longing for the blessings and protection that it brings.
