Simple, yet poignant lyrics (II)

I've got a knack of discovering pleasant songs, excellent movies, endearing books very late in time, sometimes even after it's fad fades away. One such song is Perunthil nee enaku...
The beauty of this song is that it relates to some very simple, unnoticed but pleasing moments in a our day to day life. The duet is of two people who sing about  what they mean to each other. There are some cute imperfections in Madhushri's tamil pronunciation but the male singer makes up for all that.

Duh! Why do I even have to annotate the lyrics? It speaks for itself. ;)
Perunthil nee enaku jannal oram
Pin vasal mutrathil ne tulasi madam

Vidumurai natkalil pallikoodam
Vilayattu pillaigalin chella kobam

Aalilla nalliravil ketkum padal
Anbe anbe neeye

(hmmm....)

Payanathil varugira siru thookam
Paruvathil mulaikira muthal koocham

Paritchaiku padikira athikalai
Kazhuthinil vizhundhidum mudhal maalai

Pughaipadam edukkayil thinarum punnagai
Anbe anbe neethane

Adaimazhai nerathil parugum thenir
Anbe anbe neethane

Thinamum kalayil enathu vasalil
Kidakkum nalithal nee thane

(Perunthil....)

Thaimadi tharugira aravanaipu
Urangidum kuzhanthaiyin kurunchirippu

Theypirai polthodum naga kanangal
Vagupparai mejayil idum kirukkal

Cellphone sinungida kuvigira gavanam
Anbe anbe neethane

Pidithavar tharugira parisu porulum
Anbe anbe nee thane

Ezhuthum kavithayil ezhuthu pizhaigalai
Rasikkum vasagan nee thane

(Perunthil...)

    Yes. You're right. Here it is...
    Oh! how do I translate this...okay...This is going to be really funny..

    You are...

    The window seat in the bus I travel
    Tulsi shrub in the backyard of my home

    The holidays of schooltime
    Small kids' cute anger

    The song which I hear at midnight while no one's there.
    Love love, it's you.

    The sleep that comes when we travel
    The first shy feeling we experience in the coming of age

    The early hours of exam days
    The first garland that falls on my shoulders

    The smile we smile during photographs
    its you its you

    The tea that I drink during a rainy day
    The newspaper that's on the yard every morning
    love, love..it's you.
    ---
    The embracement of mother's lap
    The baby's tiny smile while its sleeping

    The crescent marks made out of finger nails
    The scribbling on the class benches

    The concentration we apply on the ring of the cellphone
    it's you(2)

    The gifts belove give me
    its you(2)

    The one who admires the mistakes of a poet
    love, love its you
    I'm not sure my translation is any good. The thing is that some words lose thier intensity while translated to another language. Hope you understood, Shika.

    hi ..

    when i 1st heard this song, the tune caught my attention. then, i tried to listen to its lyrics - i cudnt really understand much (as i cant write or speak tamil well) .. but i was grateful that i came across this site.

    i do agree with Ramya JP when the lyrics was posted..it's indeed simple yet meaningful lyrics whc sometime we may tend to overlook.

    i really can't thank you enuf for making my day by providing the meaning .. it has helped me comprehend the lyrics even better.

    tq

Quote Wonderment (I)

I'm totally sick of examinations and stuff. World's worst stressors are exams. I've always had this opinion right from my childhood. Hmmm... So to get a break I was running through my old memories and thoughts. One such is the admiration for this quote, "Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are." --Markus Zusak The quote itself is amazing. Reminds me of so many things. And note that Markus Zusak's wonderful book called 'The Book Thief' which was a good read. Laziness blocks me from writing more. ;)

Spark + Magic = Love spell ??!!??!!

There was this talk going on in one of our extra-curricular sessions about 'RELATIONSHIPS'. Well, a few talked about their friends and the kind of relationships they'd had in their past and the regular crap. And then rose a gentleman amongst us and started talking about spark, magic and all that. The obscureness in his speech interested me to a good deal and moreover I strongly agreed with what he told. This is what he told[in my own words of what I could perceive] "All may tell the various reasons for their love, and why they liked their friends, but the fact is that there’s always this spark, or hidden magic that attracts people and make them fall in love or even friendship. The magic strings each other and builds the bond." [Seemed he'd been hit by a thunderbolt like what happened to Michael Corleone due to Appollonia Vitelli in Godfather ;)] And the person who was heading the conference did not agree with him[Of course he was counselor or somebody, he...

But why's the chivalry gone?

Disclaimer: The following words are not generalized at all, they're specific to a few persons. Does the post's title sound like, "But, why's the rum gone?".*silly* I wish I had been born 200 years earlier. Look at the world today, hmm ok the men today. Shouldn't a girl expect the lowest degree of decency from a man? It's even okay when your mind is as dirty as a dustbin, but why do you show? Mischievousness is accepted only to a tolerable extent. Man!!, there's no trace of chivalry in today's men as a matter of fact there's no trace of purity in a few of  today's women[I know it's a disgrace to the whole community]. God!, Save the men, Heal the world!! P.S - I think these days I'm becoming more cynical. I'll try not to reflect that on my posts.
