Tribute

To a genius who went by the name of Subramanya Bharathi.

Suttum vizhichchudardhaan - Kannammaa
Sooriya chandhiraroa ?
Vattak kariyavizhi - Kannammaa
Vaanak karumai kolloa ?
Pattuk karuneelap pudavai
Padhiththa nal vayiram
Nattanadu nisaiyil theriyum
Natchaththirangalladi !

Soalai malaroliyoa - unadhu
Sundharap punnagaidhaan ?
Neelak kadalalaiyae - unadhu
Nenjin alaigaladi !
Koalak kuyiloasai - unadhu
Kuralin inimaiyadi !
Vaalaik kumariyadi - Kannammaa
Maruvak kaadhal kondaen !

Saaththiram paesugiraay - Kannammaa
Saaththiram yaedhukkadi ?
Aaththiram kondavarkkae - Kannammaa
Saaththiram undoadi !
Mooththavar sammadhiyil - vadhuvai
Muraigal pinbu seyvoam
Kaaththiruppaenoadi ! - idhu paar
Kannaththu muththam onru

Doff my hat !!

ps: Thanks to Rajeev Menon and Sun TV for reminding me that a tribute to this great man was long pending...Thanks also to TFMPAGE, my parachute in case of any movie emergency and P*****k from RECT

pps: If you didn't get the meaning of the lyrics, plssss plssss set aside a good 15 minutes, find out a Tam friend and ask for a translation - believe me the trouble will be well worth it !!
