  In recent TFM, we don't get to see very good lyrics for love songs unlike old songs where lyrics dominated music.. I would like to list some songs which I enjoyed the most in the present TFM because of lyrics.
  
  Here are two love songs I enjoyed the most because of the excellent lyrics. I will add more to my list as the discussion starts.
  
  In the song "Rojavai thalattum thendral" in "Nenaivellam nithya"
  
  "Vasanthangal vazhthum pozhudhu unadhu kilaiyil poovaven
  Ilayudhir kalam muzhudum mazhindhu unakku veraaven
  Pooveli methaigal theipam kannukul mangaiyai veipen
  Nee kattum selaiyukku noolaven"
  
  Is the ultimate a kadhanayagan can express his love to his kadhanayagi.
  
  In the song "Nenjukkulle innarunu" in "Ponnumani"
  
  "Nenjukkulle innarunu sonna puriyuma
  Adhu konji konji pesuradhu kannil theriyuma
  Ulage azhijalum un uruvam azhiyadhe
  Uyire pirinjalum uravedhum piriyadhe
  Unnamal urangamal unnal thavikkum sinthamikkul"
  
  How else can anyone express his/her true love?
  
  Guys, please list the love songs you liked the most because of the lyrics. It is great to collect those and enjoy the treat given by our GREAT tamizh lyricists.

  I would like to add the following songs too to my list:
  
  From "Chandralekha"
  Arumbum thalire thalir thoongidum paniye paniththooiymaiye
  Malarum maname manam engidum kaniye kanippavaye
  Paaradum meene Neethane vendum
  oonadum uyire neethane vendum
  - Oru pen evalavu menmaiyanaval endru edhai vida yaaral sollamudiyum?
  
  From "Guna":
  Paartha vizhi paarthapadi poothu irukka
  kaathirundha kaatchi ingu kaana kidaikka
  oon uruga uyir uruga THen tharum thadaagame
  madhi varuga vazhi neduga oLi niraiga vazhvile
  - dheiveega kadhalappa!
  
  From "Pattina pravesam"
  vaa nila nila alla un valibam nila
  then nila enum nila en devi innila
  Nee iladha naaLellam naan THeindha vennila
  - Nilavai vida Azhago avaL?
  
  From "Alaigal ooyvadhillai"
  vizhiyil vizhundhu idhaiyam nulaindhu
  uyiril kalandha urave
  Iravum pagalum urasikkollum andhi pozhudhin podhu
  Alaiyin karaiyil kathurippen azhudha vizhigalodu
  Enakku mattum sondham unadhu idhazh kodukkum muththam
  Unakku mattum ketkum enadhu uyir urugum saththam
  - Uyir oon irandum inaiyum arpudhamo kaadhal?
  
  Hats off to our GREAT lyricists who have given such kavidhaigal.
  
  Guys, please ungal manangalai therundhu arumaiyana padalgalai eduthu vidungal!

  Some of my favourite love songs :
  
  Kannadhasan :
  
  Unnai kaanadha kannum kannalla
  Nee Illadha Ulagathile nimmadhi illai
  Naan pesa ninapathellam nee pesa vendum
  
  Bharathi (film songs)
  
  Veenaiyadi nee enakku mevum viral naan unakku
  Kaatru veliyidai kannamma
  (Anti-love song) Mohathai kondru vidu
  
  Panchu Arunachalam
  
  Oru Naal Unnodu Oru Naal
  
  Vairamuthu :
  
  Andhi Mazhai Pozhigirathu
  ( Thanimaiyile Verumaiyile Ethanai Naaladi Ilamaiyile
  
  Nenjukulle Konjamiru Thavani visirigal veesugiren)
  
  Mazhaiye mazhaiye - some Shanker-Ganesh song
  Vizhiyil vizhundhu idhayam nuzhaindhu
  Geetham Sangeetham Neethane en kaadhal vedham

  Also
  
  Neethane enthan pon vasantham
  
  (Nee aadai anikalan soodum araigalil roja malligai vaasam
  Muga vyarvai thuliyadhu pogum varaiyilum thendral kavarigal veesum).
  
  What karpanai !
  
  Vairamuthu's early songs were great - He introduced sensuality to kaadhal songs. Now - the less said the better. Vairamuthu - Ilaiyaraaja team was a great team. It could have rivalled Kannadhasan-MSV team. But ego !

  Some Kannadhasan lines that I like:
  
  innum naan enbadhaa, unnai nee enbadhaa
  illai naam endru per solvadhaa
  
  naan aval perai thinam paadum kuyilallavaa
  en paadal aval thandha mozhiyallavaa
  
  engirundha podhum unnai marakka mudiyumaa
  ennaivittu un ninaivai pirikka mudiyumaa
  
  udal nalamindri thookkamillaamal thavikkum
  kadhalanai paarththu oruththi paadum paattu varigal:
  
  kaalaiyil naan Or kanavu kanden
  adhai kangalil inge kondu vandhen
  eduththathin vegam kuraindhu vidaamal
  koduththuvitten undhan kangalile

  Nice topic.
  
  From "Nalam nalamariya aaval"(Lyr: Agathiyan)
  
  koovilile naan thozhuthen kolamyil unai sernthidave
  kodi murai naan thozhuthen kaalamelaam nee vazhnthidave
  un mugam naan paarka kadithame thaanaa
  vaarthayil theriyatha vadivamum naanaa
  nizharpadam anuppidu ennuyire
  nijamindri verillai ennidame

  cp: This is a great topic. I'm going to give a partial list here of some of my favorites which reflect different facets of love-- from spiritual to sensual--at varying degrees of intensity.
  
  Kovil kandaen angu dheivam illai
  Odi vandhaen ingae nee irundhaai....
  Nee illayael naan illayae
  
  Kadalilae mazhai peidha pin endha thuli mazhai
  thuli
  Kaadhalil adhu poala naan kalndhitoam
  kaadhali
  (SPB's expression enhances the lyrics)
  
  Adadaa adadaa inru thannerum thithikkinradhae
  (says much without explicit words)
  
  Unnai naan paarkum podhu mannai nee paarkinraayae
  Vinnai naan paarkum podhu ennai nee paarkinraayae
  (idea from thirukurral; but romance is fresh)
  
  thoodhu sella oru thoazhi illai ena thuyar kondaayoa thalaivi
  thullum kaatru vandhu mella saelai thoda sugam kandaayoa thalaivi
  (not a direct love song but descriptive of the heroine's feelings as she misses the hero)
  
  nalam nalamthaanaa mullai malarae
  sugam sugamthaanaa muthu chudarae
  
  onril onraana pin thannai thandhaana pin
  unnidam naan enna solluvadhoa
  
  idhu swargamaa naragamaa solladi ullapadi
  naan vaazhvadhum vidai kondu povadhum un vaarthayil ulladhadi
  
  manidhar unarndhu kolla
  idhu manidha kaadhal alla
  adhayum thaandi punidhamaanadhu
  
  paada solvadhu thaen malar nooru
  arundha solvadhu maangani chaaru
  kooda solvadhu kaaviri aaru
  koduppaar koduthaal maruppavar yaaru
  
  mayakkum maalai pozhudhae nee po po
  
  thaen sindhudhae vaanam unai enai thaalaatudhae
  
  mazhai thulidhaan enna seyyumoa
  moongil kaattinil thee vizhum pozhudhu
  moongil kaadenru aayinal maadhu
  
  kannan endhan kaadhalan
  kannil aadum mayavan
  ennai saerndhavan
  
  maalaigal aanadhum nee sollum naadagam...

  Ok, Guys thanks for all the response. But I would like to know the songs in recent TFM which have good lyrics(very difficult indeed!)
  
  New songs with good lyrics:
  
  1)Poovil vandhu koodum kandu
  Koodum kangal moodum
  Poovinam maradhu koodum
  Vandugal sangeetham paadum
  
  2)Valimbagal oodum vayadhaga koodum
  Aanalum anbu maradhadhu
  Malaiyenum sontham mudi potta bandham
  pirivennum solle ariyadhadhu
  
  3)netru illadha matrum ennadhu
  Katru en kaadhil edho sonnadhu
  Idhu thaan kadhal enbatha
  Idhayam sindhi vittathaa
  (next line anyone pls..)sol maname
  
  katru vazhipovadhai natru solkindradhu
  netru mazhai peidhadhai eeram solkindradhu
  kannil vazhigindra kadhal solgindradhu
  Idhayam theernathalume(?) innum nenaivullathu
  Iravu theernthalume innum nilavullathu
  
  If anyone knows this song completely, please put it down. I simply love this song.
  Very romantic.

  More love songs(new) with good lyrics:
  
  1)Mangai nee mangani madal vidum
  malligai vazhthidum mazhaiththuli
  Sindhidum punnagai sindhamani
  Nadukkam thottam nee naan oru theni
  - Movie ???
  
  2)In "Pundhalir" Raja has given an excellent song, the following verses in "vaa ponmayile"
  is very lovely.
  
  "Meyniyin manjal niram vanaLandhadhoo
  Boomiyin neeLa niram kannaLandhadhoo
  Azhaghe sugam valara valara
  Varuvai suvai peruga peruga
  Ilayamin Naliname inimayin uruvam malara vaa ponmayile"
  
  3)In "Sigaram", SPB sings
  "vannam konda vennilave
  vanai vittu varaiyo
  vinnile padhai illai
  unnai thoda eNi illai"
  
  I am sorry for posting many songs. I could not resist writing them. I doubt if songs in other languages have such good lyrics!

  cp: I saw older songs in the previous responses and jumped in with my old favorites too. Sorry. Please note my newer favorites included in the above list from Bombay, Kaadhalan, Duet and Gunaa.
  
  Your Pudhiya Mugam favorite is one of mine too. Here is the complete song (Sujatha's version not the pathos version):
  
  Netru illaadha maatram ennadhu
  Kaatru en kaddilaedhaan sonnadhu
  idhudhaan kaadhal enbadhaa
  ilamai pongi vittadhaa
  idhayam sindhi vittadhaa
  sol manamae....

  gangai nadhiyin suvai kadalil saerum varai
  kaadhal suvai onru thaanae kaatru veesum varai

  My latest favourite in a new song:
  Vennilavey, vennilavey, vinnei thaandi varuvaayaa?
  Vilayaader jodi theivei!
  Thamizannei thavira veru yaarukkum varaathu inthe karpanaei!
  See how he talks about the evening - Ithu pagal aller, ithu iraveller, ithu rendodum sehraathe ponveilei!
  Another all time favorite (this time courtesy of Vairamuthu): Pon maalei pozhuthu - Vaaner magal naanugiraal, veru udai pohdugiraal (The writer imagines the sky to be blushing red when changing its clothes!) - Fantastic!
  Talking about the evening sky - there is another song already listed, but my favourite part goes like this: Iravum pagalum urasi kollum andhi pozhuthil vandhu vidu (Guess what is the title of the song!)
  
  
• From: NO Valen (@ 202.184.134.10) on: Fri Aug 1 03:11:05 EDT 1997
  
  After posting the Vairamuthu song, I realised that he was inspired by Kannadhasan's "Senthaazham poovil vanthaadum thendral yen meethu mohthuthamma" sung by KJJesudass. Does anyone know which part of this song I am refering to?

  If I am right, I think the topic I started was on great lyrics for love songs. It will be nice If you could give some more input on that.
  
  
  
  
  
• From: Padmanabhan Ganesan (@ igw2.merck.com) on: Fri Aug 1 13:51:43 EDT 1997
  
  Another favourite of mine :
  
  Gnayiru enbadhu kannaga
  Thingal enbadhu pennaga
  Sevvai kovai pazhamaga
  serndhe nadandhadhu azhagaaga
  
  Netraiya pozhudhu kannodu
  indraiya pozhudhu kaiyodu
  naalaiya pozhudhum unnodu
  nizhalaai nadappen pinnodu
  
  These lyrics are not politically correct in this age of equality and feminism. A similar idea (or the same idea) from Vairamuthu :
  
  Geetha Sangeetham
  Neethane en kaadhal vedham
  
  Paadham undhan paadham
  ennodu vandhale podhum eppodhum
  
  
• From: Padmanabhan Ganesan (@ igw2.merck.com) on: Fri Aug 1 13:58:00 EDT 1997
  
  Great romantic songs from Salil Chowdhry :
  
  ( I cannot recall exact lyrics but these songs are as romantic as they get):
  
  (Dhoorathu Idi Muzhakkam)
  
  Ullamellam ThaLaadudhe
  ullukkulle edhodho ennangal poraadudhe
  
  Poovannam Pola nenjam
  bhoopalam paadum neram
  
  (I keep forgeting this Balu Mahendra movie)
  
  
• From: Padmanabhan Ganesan (@ igw2.merck.com) on: Fri Aug 1 14:15:04 EDT 1997
  
  Poovannam pola nenjam is from Aziyadha Kolangal.
  
  Other great songs :
  
  Ninandhu ninaindhu nenjam urugudhe
  nee ingiradha thunbam perugudhe
  
  (Sadharam I think)
  
  Muthukkalo kangal
  Thithippadho kannam
  
  Nenjirukkum varai. (You can feel the passion in Sivaji's eyes as he dreams about KRVijaya).
  
  There are different types of love-songs :
  
  Duet
  Male solo fantasy
  Female sole fantasy
  Unrequited love
  Viraha dhabam
  
  Maybe we should categorize the love-songs in categories.
  
  Other favourites of mine :
  
  Manadhil enna ninaivugalo (Poonthalir ?)
  Chinna pura ondru
  
  Oru vaanavil pole en vaazhvile vandhai (?)
  
  Nee varuvaai en naan irundhen (Sujatha)
  
  Naane naana yaaro dhana
  mella mella maarinena
  
  Ullam endroru koyilile
  deivam vendum anbe vaa
  
  Kaalangalil aval vasantham

  Your first song's title is "vizhiyil vizhundhu idhaiyam nulaindhu uyiril kalandha urave" - GREAT song.
  
  But I don't understand what you were trying to convey in the song "Senthazam poovil". It is a great song which explains about nature as well as a beautiful girl.

  PG:
  CP has kept on reminding all of us that he would like to focus on newer lyrics. Do you want to start a separate thread for older songs, and do your categorization? That will still be fun, since this topic is good for new and old.
  
  CP:
  Do you want the lyrics to "Naetru illaadha maatram" pathos version? I knew the female version since I've sung it; with a little effort I can remember the pathos version too. Let me know.

  One of my great all time favourites is Chitra's Yetheitho yennam valarthein from Punnagai Mannan. The lyric is simply superb. Enjoy...

  ullamellam thalladuthe from D Idi Muz.. has a good tune. But the qulaity of lyrics is not all that great. In one stanza it goes like this;
  
  aaN manam vaithal anji pin vanguma?
  
  and in another stanza,
  Thali endra veli katti kappathuvaen..
  
  I have to admit it is lilting melody inspite of the shortcomings on the lyrics part.

  Let me explain two lines from song "Alangkaram Kalaiyatha Chilai ondru Kandean".
  
  Unndayin undendru manam kolluvom
  Illayin illendru vaan cheluvom
  
  They love each other. They want to get married. Athu Undayin(If they get) mannam Kolluvom.
  Kolluvom means owning something. They want to own each other by marriage.
  See the second line.
  Illayin illendru vaan cheluvom
  Suppose if they get failed, Vaan cheluvom.
  Note the point. He didn't write vaan kolluvom. They don't want to own death. Vaan cheluvom. If we go some where, we have to come back. By that way they will come back and join together.
  We need two paragraphs to explain two lines.
  Kannadasan is great.
