Most romantic lyrics

Topic started by ramakris (@ 203.199.239.200) on Sun Nov 25 13:26:01 EST 2001.
All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

I am trying to see what are the songs with the most romantic lyrics. My favorite is "Vaa vennila" in Mella thirandhadu Kadavu and the verse "malar pondra paadam nadakkirnra poodhu nilam pole unnai naan thanga vendum" is something every 10th std boyw orth his love letter can relate to. It is definitely a far cry from the condescending and misogynist "Kaanchi pattuduthi.. mamiyaar pottranum" crap that actually passed off as being romantic less than a generation ago.
Although I have high regard for Kannadasan in the love/sex arena, many of his songs again tend to treat women as objects rather than as partners. Worse, he had this habit of introducing himself rather indiscreetly into the couple's relationship ,an unwarranted love triangle. Witness how in "Chippi irukkudhu" in "Varumaiyin niram sivappu", he writes "kavingyar idhayam konjum", an obvious reference to himself. The ultimate display of mega ego is of course his autobiographical "Oru koppayile en kudiyirruppu". Only Kannadasan could get away with such outrageousness!

OK pardon me from digressing from the topic.. I have high regard for Kannadasan overall..

Anyway, please nominate your favorite romantic song. Not just based on technical merit, but ones that caused you to blush, develop goose pimples, itch or whatever..
Ladies are especially welcome to post their choices so that we men can come up with better pick-up lines..

  "panji mittai, anji rubaai, nee paathi thindru thantathaal lacha rubaai" from Kadhalan.
  But I wouldn't recommend that as a pick-up line :-)

  ramakris, I think "kavingyar idhayam konjum" from "Chippi irukkudhu" in "Varumaiyin niram sivappu", was appropriate bcos in the movie, kamal will be the kavingyar and will be coming up with impromptu lyrics for sridevi's tunes. I don't think there were any ulterior motives there.

  Another one of my faves is the line "Aiyayo maranthenada, un perae theriyathada..manam virumbuthe" from the song "manam virumbuthe" in the movie "naerukku naer".

  I think I like this one "kavidaigal sollavaa un peyar sollavaa, irandumae ondruthaan ........ and , "unmaiyil naan oru kadigaram yaen sutrugirom endru theriyamal, sutruthamma indru yen vaalvu"...... "pirarin mugam parkum kannaadi
  atarku mugham ondru illai, antha kannaadi nanthaane mugame illai yennidaam thaan"
  
  The first one is really romantic, but the second and third one made me feel really sad.

  I personally love 'sundari kannal' from Dalapathi and 'Nirpathuve, Nadapaduve' from Barathi. both songs contain such beautiful lyrics, they actually make one wish he/she was in love. oh well, i have to say, this is a pretty good thread :-)

  2.'poongatrile un swasathai' I like the whole pallavi and the second stanza.

  In Telugu, all movies directed by VIswanath and
  music by Ilaiyaraja and KVM have excellent lyrics.

  Where full songs are concerned, some of my faves:
  1)intha siripinai engo parthen from naam iruvar namaku iruvar
  2)melisaye from mr romeo
  i guess sometimes timing is important too. i mean if u hear a song during a special moment in your life, listening to the song later can bring back pleasant, nostalgic feelings. Then, the lyrics hold more meaning to you personally than to someone else.
