Unique in its approach/writing!

  Just an FYI--not a biggie:
  The verse Odi vandhadhum from kodi asaindhadhum is meaningful even if it is not interpreted as a niral niRai aNi.

  Sometimes the simplest analogies speak volumes:
  azhagu migundha raajakumaari megamaagap poagiraal (sorry guys, the grammar-correct English-Tamil spellings are cramping my flow)
  
  This following song needs to be given in it's entirety because it belongs in such a thread"
  
  vaan nilaa nilaa alla un vaalibam nilaa (2)
  thaen nilaa enum nilaa en dhaeviyin nilaa (2)
  neeyillaadha naalellaam naan thaeyndha vennilaa

  Two more classics with wordplay similar to vaan nilaa (repeat mentions):
  1. aththikkaai kaai kaai aalangaai vennilavae
  2. paarthaen siriththaen
  
  
• From: NOV (@ 202.184.134.10) on: Fri Jun 19 20:45:28 EDT 1998
  
  One more on wordplay, this time by Vaali
  
  Paal Thamizh paal ennum ninaippaal, vantha thudipaal..
  
  An old song that has always appealed to me as a uraiyaadal rather than poetry is:
  
  Unnai ninaikaiyiley, kanney
  
  I know Ramki will oppose this, but one of my favourite "conversation" song is:
  
  Punnagai mannan poovizhi Kannan especially the lines, athu bommai kalyaanam, ithu oonmai kalyaanam... depicting great sorrow.

  Bhaskar, you must be on an energy boost! Way to go! Let me try the two unexplainable kais:
  1)"Elakkai Vaasanai Pol endhan uLLam vazhakkai"
  (For my heart to smell wonderful like elakkai and exist. The Vazhakkai is not the vazhaikai vegetable but it takes on the meaning: vazhvatharkaaga)
  2)"Ullamelaamilagaiyo ovvoru paer thunaikkayo"
  (this should be understood as ullam ellam "ilagayo" as in "aren't you melting" not "milagayo" as in the vegetable "chilli".)
  Strictly IMHO. Scholars can correct whatever I have misinterpreted.

  Rombavum arumaiyana kavidhai. Just see this stanza.

  Ennatthai Sonnavan Vadugiren
  Ennatthai Sonnavan Vadugiren
  Unniru Kan Pattu Punpatta Nenjatthil

  Hope somebody remembers all the lines...
  
  
  These two songs very nicely use the raga names.

  RV A great pick!
  especially the second stanza
  where it comes as
  Un iru kan pattu pun patta nenjathil
  un pattu kai pada padugiren....
  there the TMS voice would added so many feathers to the lyrics as well as music.
  I feel the credit for this song goes to TMS.
  
  another for the vaarthai vilayatu song....
  endha oor endravanae ....
  can anyone submit the full lyrics...
  in that it comes something like
  karuvoor il vazhnthirunthen........
  and finishesh as kaalaioor vandhadainthen.
  implies the youth's life cycle.
  
  vaa kannadasa vaaa....

  Bhakthi alai veesuvadhAl indha pAdalgal.
  
  I am very much impressed by these lyrics.
  Simple and upto the point.
  
  ondRAnavan uruvil irandAnavan
  uruvAna senthamizhil moondRAnavan
  ..... vedhathil nAngAnavan
  namashivAya ena aindhAnavan
  inba chuvaihalil ArAnavan
  innisai swrangalil yEzhanavan
  ...
  pathanavan nenjil paRRAnavan
  panniru kai vElavanai petRAnavan.
  
  Also the lyrics for the song
  "aridhu aridhu" song is also great.
  
  The punch song is
  
  "uLLathil nalla uLLam uRangAthenbadhu"
  
  "thAikku nee maganillai
  thambikku aNNanillai
  oor pazhi yetRAyadA
  un pazhi kondEnada
  nAnum un pazhi kondEnada"
  
  The great song "Ayiram karangal neeti"
  has the linees for praising karnan are great.

  Kanchana:
  
  Neenga ellam explain seiyya vaendum endru dhaan
