The Raja Touch...

Two songs of IllayaRaja sir which moves me literally to another world. 'Kalai Thendral Padi Varum' from Uyarntha Ullam. Sung by P.Sussela. Mannnnn....hers is the kind of voice which will stay forever. Not many songs with lines on nature I have heard. Most of the time, I start my day listening to this wonderful song. It makes you forget every woes and cherish the sublime beauty of nature and all it's forms. You will definitely give a look at the flowers in your garden, the sky with a sense of gratification. 

  Kuyilgal marakiliyal surangal serkum                              

  Malargal panni thuliyil mugangal paarkum

  Dhinam dhorum pudhu kolam ezhudhum vaanam

  Iravile nakshithiram irundhadhe enge?

  Panni thuligalai pul viliyal vizhndhadho inge

  Indha inbam, idham padham,

  Idhu ondre jeevitham...

Another is a very famous love song from 'Kadal meengal', a very close to heart 'Thaalatudhe Vaanam'. Sung by Jaychandran and Janaky. A perfect duet. With that fisherman humming in the starting interlude, the song is heavenly.

  Iru kangal muddi sellam bothum orre ennam

  Oru sangil dhaane palai unnam orre jeevan

  Sorgathile idhu mudivaanadhu

  Sorgam endre ithu mudivaanadhu

  Kadhal oru vedham, adhu dheivam tharum geetham

  Thaalatudhe vaanam, thalaadudhe megam...
