Favorite analogies in TFM

I sent the following message to be added as a permanent topic. Should that fail how about it as a temporary topic?

Hi guys,

I recently discovered this page and have been contributing extensively ever since. How about a permanent thread for discussing famous analogies: metaphors, similies, expressions, ironies, etc. in Tamil songs? For example: this would be a thread where I will share my favorite analogy for a smile, "Kaiyalavu Pazhutha Maathulai, Paalil
Neyalavu Padarntha Punnagai" from "Vizhiyilae Malarnthathu" written by Panchu Arunachalam.

As great as the discussion topics are in this site, I feel lyrics and song writers should get more attention.

A fan forever,
Udhaya

  I can't think of a better way for a woman to tell her lover that his love is irreplacable:
  "dheivaththin maarbil soodiya maalai theruvinilae vizhalaamaa
  theruvinilae vizhundhaalam vaeroar kai thodalaamaa
  oru kodiyil oru muraidhaan malarum malarallavaa
  oru manadhil oru muraidhaan valarum uravallavaa"
  
  Every man in love wishes to convey the power of his lover over him, but it takes a Kannadhasan to convey it so concise and elegant:
  "kaadhal enbadhu mazhaiyaanal aval kangal dhaanae kaarmaegam"
  
  Kannadhasan describes a woman breaking free of her shackles and tasting freedom:
  "kaatrukkenna vaeli kadalukkenna moodi
  gangai vellam sangukkullae adangi vidaadhu
  mangai nenjam pongumboadhu vilangugal aedhu"

  Udhaya:
  The verse you've quoted from sonnadhu needhAnA starting with dheivaththin mArbil is rich in meaning and feeling, especially as sung by PS.
  
  Back later...

  Thannilavu theniraikka is not by Kannadasan. I think it is by Maayavanaathan.
  And again i may be wrong, Pon ezhil poothathu by Panchu Arunachalam.
  Correct me if i am wrong

  You may be right on the lyricists for pon ezhil and thaNNilavu thEniRaikka. Unfortunately, I don't have an audiocassette cover or video credits to confirm the info, since I'm quoting most from memory. If you have a chance to confirm those, please educate us for future reference. Thank you.
