see for yourself! and comment!
but this one is cute and far better than original movie version of it... this is from Diwali celebration in Japan where in Japanese girls and kids dance together for a tamil song from gilli - shalala.
movie version of it... just for reference! and...
here is one more tamil kuthu dance performed by Japanese girls on stage with mega display screen behind! (etho ennala mudinja thamizh sevai!)
Nirpadhuve nadappadhuve parappadhuve Vaanagameeeeeeeeee Ponadhellaam kanavinaipol
Yes it is the song from the tamil movie Bharathi and the lyrics is from Bharathi's poem. I never read this poem until it came in the movie. When I first heard this song I was simply amazed.
NeengaL ellam soppanam thaano
Pala thotRa mayakkangaLo
KaRpadhuve ketpadhuve karudhuvadhe
NeengaL ellam ardhamaiyaigaLo
ummuL aazhndha poruLillaiyo
ardhamaiyaigaLo
ummuL aazhndha poruLillaiyo
iLaveyileeeeeeeeeeeeee
Marachariveeeeeeeeeeee
Vaanagame ILaveyile marancharive
NeengaL ellam kaanalin neero
Verum kaatchi pizhaithaano
udaindhaezhundhe ponadhanaal
Naanum or kanavo
indha gnalamum(?) Poithaano
First of all its a beautiful song on human consciousness wondering on the beauties of nature and raising the question, is this all real or illusion? Bharathi has captured this eternal wondering of humanity so nicely in this poem.
After hearing the song first time, my mind immediately started drawing rare correlations, which I wonder how many of you will agree with me?! In the song it goes like...Kaalamendre oru ninaivum
kalamendre oru ninaivum - meaning time; and katchi endre pala ninaivum - meaning visible space, put together bharathi questions... this time and space, are they real?
Kaatchi endru pala ninaivum
Kolamum poigaLo
andha gunangalum poigaLo
The same question was asked by another human being who lived in his period in a different continent, he is known as Albert Einstein.
Questioning Einstein was a great physicist, so we got amazing equations, revealing the secrets of nature. Bharathi was a great poet and so we got marvelous poems that can open up one's heart and soul to connect with the nature. But essentially their quest was same and got expressed in their own way.
and the song continues....Kaanbadhellaam maraiyumendraal
is he proposing the possibility of time travel to the past? which can be debated now in science or am I trying to read too much in his lines?!
Maraindhadhellaam kaanbamandro
Naanum or kanavo
Indha gnalamum(!) Poithaano

here is the song ...
People talk of so many great musicians of the world, but for me what counts as the best enjoyable music is that which touches you and evoke strongly your deep emotions. And to live in that period of a musician who creates such music for you is very special. Yes... I am talking about the wonderful man! none other than Ilayaraja who has made lots of moments to be happier in millions of life. Will be posting more on his creations in future, as of now enjoy his Janani janani song which makes one to experience the mysterious spiritual feeling.
Ilayaraja singing live
