Uyire Uyire – Lyrics and Translation

Posted on August 1, 2011 | 3 minutes | 501 words | Janani Dhinakaran

This song was a big hit when it first came out and still is very popular. It is from the movie Minnile which means lightning. It is considered a sensual song and therefore it must have some strange dance scenes in the middle to leave the real sensual things to imagination if you be so inclined. [Read More]
