This song is set to the ragam Nalinakanthi.

This song is 20 years old! I wrote the English part of the songs as rough translations.

The Lyrics:

Nathiyin Thedal Kadaisiyil Kadal Kaanbathu

The Search for my life will come when I see you.

Kadal konda nathiyo mugam thanai ilakkum

If I'm with you a new world will begin

I'll put the stars on a string for you.

I'll be there with a knock at your door.

En Kathal Thevane,

enathu imayil unathu vizhikal mooduven.

Kandukonden Kandukonden. Sa Ga Ri Ma Pa Ni Da Sa

Viral Thodum Thorathile Sa Ga Ri Ma Pa Ni Da Sa

Vennilavai Kandukonden

Kathal mugam Kandukonden

Little Me - Little Mix - World Music Abi

Little Me by Little Mix is a song that is really close to my heart.

The song takes me back to my past and how I have been coping a lack of self-confidence and with my insecurities. This song empowers me to not stay in the past but also look forward to everything I can accomplish by speaking out and standing up for myself.

The producers, songwriters, TMS, and Iain James have done a great job here!

There is a classical music composition that is sampled in this song called Pavane Opus by Gabriel Fauré

The acoustic version is also beautiful to listen to!

Lyrics and Ukulele Chords

Note: I use a chord other than Eb where it is denoted as Eb and I tuned the ukulele one semitone lower than usual.

Gm F
She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl

Eb
Voice so quiet you don't hear a word

D
Always talking but she can't be heard ... yeah

Gm F
You can see it there if you catch her eye

Eb
I know she's brave but it's trapped inside

D
Scared to talk but she don't know why

Gm
Wish I knew back then

What I know now

Eb
Wish I could somehow

Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice

Gm
I'd tell her to speak up,

I'd tell her to shout out

F
Talk a bit louder,

be a bit prouder

Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful

D
Everything she doesn't see

Gm Bb
You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out

F Gm
And know that right here, right now

You can be beautiful, wonderful

D
Anything you wanna be

Gm
Little me
