Vairana Kannana?

Kannadaasan and Vairamuthu are great film poets.

The karpanai of Vairamuthu and Vaarthaijaalam of Kannadasan is amazing !!

Here are some samples

Sample 1: Vairamuthu in Nizhalgal


Idhu oru pon maalai pozhudhu
vaana magal naanugiraal
vaeru udai poonugiraal

The poet personifies the evening sky as a girl and says: she is changing clothes from evening to night, and blushes out of shyness because everybody is seeing her! Can anybody refer to redness in sky during dusk any better than this?

Aayiram nirangal jaalamidum
raathiri vaasalil kolamidum
vaanam iravukku paalamidum
paadum paravaigal thalamidum
poomarangal saamarangal...

Birds would sing and clap welcoming the night; evening sky would establish the bridge for the coming of the night; all the trees would sway hither and thither and produce gentle breeze welcoming the night; the appearance of thousands of colourful lights all over the world would be magical; it would be like a 'kolam' in the gates of night!

Sample 2: Vairamuthu in PayaNangaL Mudivadhillai



ilaiya nilaa pozhigaradhae idhayam varai nanaigiradhae
ulaap poagum maegam kanaak kaanudhae vizhaakkaanudhae vaanamae

The mild moon is spreading its rays and it reaches even our hearts.. The roaming clouds are dreaming..and the whole sky is celebrating...

(ilaiya nilaa)

varum vazhiyil pani mazhaiyil paruva nilaa dhinam nanaiyum
mugileduththu mugam thudaiththu vidiyum varum nadai pazhagum
vaana veedhiyil maega oorvalam kaanumboadhilae aarudhal tharum
paruva magal vizhigalilae kanavu varum

On the way, the moon takes bath everyday in the dew rain and then uses the cloud like a towel !to wash its face, (after it gets fresh) it practises dance till morning !
In the streets of sky, there 's the procession of clouds which is so soothing to the eyes.. These are dreams in the eyes of nature..

(ilaiya)

mugilinangal alaigiradhae mugavarigal tholaindhanavoa
mugavarigal thavariyadhaal azhudhidumoa adhu mazhaiyoa
neela vaanilae velli oadaigal oaduginradhae enna jaadaigal
vin veliyil vidhaiththadhu yaar nava manigal

( Classic !! )
The clouds are roaming around, did they lose their address? and because they lost their address, are they crying and is that rain?
There are silver streams in the blue sky, and what a play it is ..
and who seeded those beautiful pearls (stars) in the expanse of skies..

Sample 3: Kannadaasan in Mullum Malarum


sendhaazhampoovil vandhaadum thenral en meedhu moadhudhammaa
poovaasam maedai poadudhammaa penpoalae jaadai paesudhammaa
ammammaa aanandham (2)

The breeze from the "Sendhaazham poo" strikes me and the smell puts a stage and makes action like a girl and.. it is so nice !!

(sendhaazhampoovil)

valaindhu nelindhu poagum paadhai mangai moagak koondhaloa
mayangi mayangich chellum vellam paruva naana oodaloa
aalankodi maelae kili thaen kanigalaith thaeduthu
aasaik kuyil bhaashaiyinri raagam enna paadudhu
kaadugal malaigal dhaevan kalaigal

The path along the mountains ( the hair pin bends ) are like the attractive koodhal of a young girl.. The slow river, is like the shyness of girl in nature
The parrots are searching for the fruits in the trees..The koels are singing what kind of songs without lyrics..The forests, mountains are God 's "master pieces "

(sendhaazhampoovil)

azhagu migundha raajakumaari maegamaagap poagiraal
jarigai neliyum saelai kondu malaiyai moodap paarkiraal
pallam silar ullam ena aen padaiththaan aandavan
pattam tharath thaeduginraen engae andha naayagan
malaiyin kaatchi iraivan aatchi

The cloud , a beautiful princess, is going and she strikes the mountains with her wonderfully woven saree...and there are deep valleys, like some people s hearts ( Remember: Odum nadhi aazham illa, adhu serum kadal aazhamilla
aazham idhu ayya andha pombala manasu thaan ya !!)
I am searching the god to give a title to honour, where is he?
The sights of mountain, tell me its the "Rule of God"..

For the quality of words, its kannadaasan and for the extensive imagination it is Vairamuthu..

But when u hear the songs, dont forget it is Ilayaraaja's tunes all along....

Flirting with Manvaasanai...

These days flirting has become quite common place..after all it makes you happy, boosts your ego and takes u to a dreamland..

Can flirting be artistic? after all flirting is not a taboo !!

Y not, if artists decide to do..I am talking about artists like

Shivaji, Radha, Ilayaraja,Bharathiraja, Vairamuthu, Malaysia Vasudevan & Janaki..

U guessed it right "Mudhal mariyaadai"...

The sweet song "Poongaatru thirumbumaa"

http://youtube.com/watch?v=vDGkPsvl0Zc

Situation: Ponnatha (Vadivukarasi), a witch-like character torments Shivaji, a soft and kind hearted guy. She never shares bed with him, though he married her to give an initial to her daughter, born through some other guy..One fine day Shivaji, vents out his frustration to nature..when "Raadha as Kuyilu" goes by and responds...See how they "invite, respond, cajole, love, introduce,identify, express their happines, get feedback about their meeting etc etc"..through these lines !!!!

poongaatru thirumbumaa en paatta virumbumaa
thaalaatta madiyil vechchup paaraatta
enakkoru thaay madi kedaikkumaa

Shivaji: Will those good old sweet days come and will I ever get to experience love in my life

raasaavae varuththamaa aagaayam surungumaa
aengaadhae adha olagam thaangaadhae
adukkumaa sooriyan karukkumaa

Radha: Sure the day will come dont worry, u are too great..to be ebbed by these small things

enna solluvaen ennullam thaangala
meththa vaanginaen thookkaththa vaangala

Shivaji: Tells the secret & sadness in his life

indha vaedhana yaarukkuththaan illa
onna meeravae oorukkul aalilla

Radha : u r great

aedhoa enbaattukku naan paattup paadi
sollaadha soagaththa sonnaenadi

Shivaji: I donno, how, i blurted out the secret & sadness of my life casually..

soga raga soagandhaanae (2)

Radha: Ofcourse, the sweet tunes are sad...

yaaradhu poaradhu

Shivaji: Hey, who is that?

kuyil paadalaam than mugam kaattumaa

Radha: Birds sing, do they show their face..
( Perfect is nt it )

(poongaatru)

ulla azhuguraen veliya sirikkiraen
nalla vaeshandhaan veluththu vaanguraen

Shivaji: I am an actor, I cry inside but laugh outside

unga vaeshandhaan konjam maaranum
enga saamikku magudam aeranum

Radha: May be u shud change..

maanae en nenjukkup paal vaarththa thaenae
munnae en paarvaikku vaavaa pennae

Shivaji: Hey how did u tell what I felt like..who are u?

esap paattu padichchaen naanae

Radha: It s me..

poonguyil yaaradhu

Shivaji: Who s the singing bird?

konjam paarunga pen kuyil naanunga

Radha: See here, it s me..the lady bird..

adi needhaanaa andhak kuyil
yaar veettu sondhak kuyil
aaththaadi manasukkulla kaaththaadi
parandhadhae olagamae marandhadhae

Shivaji: I see..u r the one..r u married?..hey
it was great talking to u..I forgot the world..

naandhaanae andhak kuyil
thaanaaga vandhak kuyil
aaththaadi manasukkulla kaaththaadi
parandhadhaa olagandhaan marandhadhaa

Radha: Ya it was me..I am alone !!
Oh was that gud..Gud that u felt gud..
( I am also happy )

Master piece man..Master piece......!!!
