Songsophy

Song + Philosophy = Songsophy:):) Hey just wanted to mention 4 songs with some comforting, great and yaa philosophical lyrics. B4 I could tag these numbers philosophical, I wanted to know what is the actual meaning of philosophical coz I m using it then and there....LOL. Philosophical- meeting trouble with level-headed detachment. Yaa then fine the songs I have chosen definitely falls under this genre. Not exploring much of the lyrics except for one song ( don't worry no translation...if any one wants to know the translation you can surely comment)

1. 'Manithan Enbavan Deivam Agalam' from Sumaithangi. I should say this song brings in such a feeling, 'like if there was an older version to Anbe Sivam'. Brilliantly written by Kannadhasan. ' thunindhu vittal thalayil endha sumayum thaangalaam...ghunam, ghunam adha kovil aagalam'.

2. ' Ovoru Pookalame' from Autograph. This song need no intro. The prayer song in some school, that says it all. The thirst to win besides setbacks, the two verses covers life's darker shades the best way. Kudos to P.a Vijay.Few lines: ' Kaala pokill kayam yellam marandhu pogum mayangal... Oru kanavu kandaal, adhai dhinam muyandraal oru naalil nijam agum... Oru mudivu eduthal, adhul thelivu irundhaal andha vanam vasam aagum'

3. ' Yaai Re Yaai Re' from Rangeela. It is a zippy song. The music definitely outshines the lyrics. But there are some discerning lines in this song by Mehboob. 'Taang hain ji uspar, dhuniya mai he rehkar, dhuniya mai jeene ki andaaz ko naa jaane. maate ya haathon pe , chaand yaa taaron pe, kismat ko dhoonden par kudh pe kya hain na jaane...'

4. The fourth and the final song, 'Oru Naalil' from Pudhupettai. Wonderfully composed and sung by Yuvan and sharp-sighted lyrics by Na.Muthukumar. The lines are so simple. It rips apart life. What is living all about...? I haven't come across any other beautiful song that explore life like this one. It's my 10 on 10 number. If you haven't listened to this song, do download. The music and lyrics both are outstanding. It's your life, just yours. We are each of us, alone!!

Lyrics of Oru Naalil from Pudhupettai:

Oru naalil vazhkai inge engum odi pogathu
Marunallum vanthuvitaal thunbam theyum, thodarathu
Ethanai koddi kaneer mann meethu vizhindirkum
Athanai kandapinum boommi ingu poo pookum

O … O … Ohh … Karuvaasal vittu vantha naal thottu
O … O … Ohh … Oru vaasal thediya vilaiyaatu
O … O … Ohh … Kan thiranthu paarthal pala koothu
O … O … Ohh … Kan moodi kondal …
O … O … Ohh …

Pourkalathil piranthu vittoom, vanthavai ponnavai varathumillai
Kaatinile vaazkhindrom, mutkalin vali onrum maranamillai
Irutinile nee nadakayile un nizhalum unnai vittu vilagividum
Nee mattumthaan intha ulagithile unnaku thunai endru velangividum
Theeyodu pogum varaiyil theerathu intha thanimai

Karai varum neram paarthu kapalil kaathiripom
Erimalai vanthaal kooda yeri ninru pour thotupom

O … O … Ohh … Antha deiva ragasiyam purigirathe
O … O … Ohh … ingu ethuvum nilai illai karaigiruthe
O … O … Ohh … manam vetta veliyile allaikirathe
O … O … Ohh … antha kadavulai kandaal …
O … O … Ohh …

Athu ennaku ithu unnaku, idhayangal podum thani kanaku
Aval ennaku eval unnaku, udalkalum podum puthir kanaku
Unnakum illai ethu ennakum illai, padaithavane ingu yeduthukollvan
Nallavan yaar, ketavan yaar kadaisiyil avane mudivu seivaan

Pazhi podum ulagam inge
Baliyana uyirkal enge..?

Ulagathin orram ninru athanaiyum paarthirupom
Nadapavai naadagam endru naamum serunthu nadithiripom

O … O … Ohh … pala mugangal venduma, seri maatikolvom
O … O … Ohh … pala thirupam theriyum athil thirumbikolvom
O … O … Ohh … kathai mudiyum pokkil athai mudithikolvom
O … O … Ohh … maru piravi vendumaa …
O … O … Ohh …

hated all of them!

yaa it's nice not to go by prejudices n have your own ideas about being successful...but these song reflect my own opinion about success...if I had a poetic insight and knew either of the literature well, I would hav penned something similar to these 4 songs about success...

Manithan Enbavan Deivam Aagalam. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever listened to, so poetic.

Quite surprised to see you like old and new songs alike :)

Cheers
