Movie: Kadal
Music: A R Rahman
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Singers: Shakthisree Gopalan, A.R. Rahman
We know we are late. When we publish it, we wanted it to be satisfying, if not perfect. The poem is really deep though the words are very simple! Like 'Icchi Marathu Mela Elai Kooda Thoongiruche' - there is something special about the banyan leaf - it is one of the lightest leaf and when the poet says even it has slept, he meant the hour is so late... Well, now it is yours. You may say how much we are there...
Nenjukulle Omma Mudunjirukken
I have engraved you in my heart
Inga Ethisayil Enn Pozhapu Vidinjiruko
I wonder where my life is taking me to
Vellai Paarvai Veesi Vitteer Munnadi
You looked at me with Love
Idha Thangaatha Manassu Thanni Patta Kannadi
Which made my heart become like damp mirror
Vanna Maniyaaram Valathu Kai Gediyaaram
Your colourful pendant or the watch in your right wrist
Aana Puliyellam Adukkum Adhigaaram
Are enough to tame elephants or tigers
Neer Pona Pinnum Nizhal Mattum Pogalaye Pogalaye
Though you left, your shadow haven’t left
Nenjukulla Nizhal Vanthu Vizhunthiruche
It is left in my heart
Appa Niminthava Thaan Apuramma Kuniyalaye Kuniyalaye
I have never lowered my gaze from then
Kodakambi Pola Manam Kuthi Nikkuthe
My heart is awake and alert like a steel rib of an umbrella
Patchi Urangirichu
The birds have slept
Paal Thairaa Thoongirichu
The milk slept to curd
Icchi Marathu Mela Elai Kooda Thoongiruche
Even the leaves of banyan tree have slept
Kaasa Noikaarigalum Kannurangum Velayila
At a time when even the TB patients are able to sleep
Aasanoi Vanthamaga Arai Nimisham Thoongalaye
The lady who is stuck with Love, is not able to sleep even for a moment
Oru Vaayi Irangalaye
I am not able to eat even a mouthful
Ulnaakku Nanaiyalaye
My throat has not been wet through
Ezhettu Naalaa Echil Muzhungalaye
For the last few days I am not able to swallow even saliva
Ezhai Ilanchirukki Ethum Solla Mudiyalaye
This poor girl is not able to express herself
Rubber Valaivikkellam Sathamida Vaayillaye
Like the rubber bangles which cannot make sound
superb
ReplyDeletenice work - but in the line about elephants and tigers - I don't think there is a reference to elephants? - aana here is just like but you have the power to control even tigers....and i would also recommend to look into the fact that the tree what sleeps is not the banyan but the raintree and you could consider not having something like TB disease mentioned ...just being a bit soft that's all....well done
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading it closely. About the tree thing, it is said that the banyan and neem trees have the lightest of leaves. Which will flutter for the slightest of wind. So at a time when even their leaves are not moving, it is late to sleep and the lady bitten by Love is not able to sleep... So goes TB too ;)
DeleteAwesome...I also think that it is ok to compare with the lightest banyan leaf and tb patients.....good lyrics...awesome imagination.....
