About Padalgal

Padalgal is a home for Tamil song lyrics. Every song is shown in Tamil script alongside an English transliteration, in two forms: an easy one for singing along, and a precise one that keeps the Tamil spelling.

Reading a song page

Lyrics are set out verse by verse, with repeated parts marked. In duets each line is labelled with who sings it. Every song lists its composer, lyricist and singers, and their pages gather the rest of their songs.

Where the details come from

Film, year and artist details come from Wikidata, and film track lists from MusicBrainz. Both are open databases kept up by volunteers. Lyrics are checked by our editors before they are published.

Songs without lyrics yet

Some songs are listed from a film's track list before their lyrics are added. Their pages say so, and search engines are asked not to list them until the lyrics are in.
