Chinnaware Lyrics – Shankar Mahadevan | Tere Ishk Mein

Chinnaware Song Description

Chinnaware is a soulful Tamil lullaby (lullaby = soothing song to calm or comfort someone) from the film Tere Ishk Mein, starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon. The music is composed, produced and arranged by the legendary composer A.R. Rahman, known for his wave-like melodies. Vocals are delivered by Shankar Mahadevan, who brings a powerful yet gentle emotional tone to the lullaby, making it feel like a warm, protective hug in sound.

The emotional catch of the lyrics comes from the fact that the lines are personally written by Dhanush himself — expressing love, hope, and reassurance in his own poetic voice.

This song carries the heart of comfort, love, and destiny. The phrase "Chinnawarae Mannawarae" calls someone small yet a king (Mannavar = a ruler or king). It’s like calling a child “my little hero” or a loved one “my tiny universe.” The lyric "En Thunaiyae Neethaanaiyaa" means “you are my only support” — like saying “you are my Wi-Fi when my world goes offline,” but emotionally.

The song also repeats "Nalla Kaalam Vanthiruchchu" (good time has arrived). It’s the feeling you get when things that were broken finally work — like a phone charger that wasn’t connecting but suddenly starts charging again. That relief, that hope, is this song.

The music blends romance with devotion (devotion = deep love mixed with respect, almost spiritual admiration), making it relatable to anyone who has ever loved fiercely and silently prayed for someone at the same time.
