All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

For a good understanding of how to approach this ongoing symposium, please refer to the thread, "Kannadhaasan Vs. Vairamuthu TFM Symposium Topic 1:Iyarkai Varnanai" before you post. Let me reiterate that this is not a patti mandram, but a research symposium.
Please show TFM examples of both poets with regards to just Kaadhal Paadalgal for this thread. Let's roll.

  In the following song, from "Bhagavathipuram Railway Gate"," the eagerness of the lovers to get
  married is poetically shown by VM, with some great varnanai as well:
  
  kaalai naerak kaatrae vaazhthich chellu
  maalai soodum naalaip paarthuch chollu
  kaadhal dheepam kannil aettri aettri
  maalai soodum naeram saeval koovum
  . . .
  nadanthaal kaaveri nee
  nagaithaal sridevi thaan
  kannithaenin saamaram veesum
  jannal maevum pooviLa vaasam
  nayana malarin sayana araiyil
  maayana oasaiyoa
  
  
  In this song from "Jothi, a couple celebrates the fruition of their love:
  
  Avan: sirichchaa kollimalaik kuyilu
  oru muthumani thandha moagathilae
  pathu veral thotta vaegathilae
  . . .
  Aval: kaavalukkingae yaar poruppu
  mullum valakkuthu thaamaraippoo
  
  Avan: Kaalam irukku kanneer aetharku
  vanthaen kaavalukku
  thazhumbaathiru thaen kodamae
  sugamae varumae
  . . .
  Avan: kallaakedanthu poovaanaa
  rendaanthadavai aalaanaa
  karumbaalaiyap poalirundhaa
  suvaimaanganiyaak kaninjaa
  
  Aval: rosaak kadhavu thaanaath thorandhu
  vaasam vandathenna
  
  
  The following song from "Duet" is a modern classic, a passionate
  ode to love:
  
  Avan:
  anjali anjali pushpaanjali
  poovae un paadhaththil pushpaanjali
  ponnae un peyarukku ponnaanjali
  kannae un kuralukku geethaanjali
  kan kaanaa azhaghirkku kavithaanjali
  . . .
  kaadhal vandhu theendum varai iruvarum thaniththani
  kaadhalin pon sangili inaiththadhu kanmani
  kadalilae mazhaiveezhndhapin endhaththuli mazhaiththuli
  kaadhalil adhupoala naan kalandhittaen kaadhali
  thirumagal thiruppaadham pidiththuvittaen
  dhinamoru pudhuppaadal padiththuvittaen
  anjali anjali ennuyirk kaadhali
  . . .
  Aval:
  seedhaiyin kaadhal anru vizhi vazhi nuzhaindhadhu
  koadhaiyin kaadhalinru sevi vazhi pughundhadhu
  ennavoa en nenjilae isai vandhu thulaiththadhu
  isai vandha paadhai vazhi thamizh mella nuzhaindhadhu
  isai vandha dhisai paarththu manam kuzhaindhaen
  thamizh vandha dhisai paarththu uyir kasindhaen
  anjali anjali ival thalaikkaadhali...
  
  Avan:
  poovae un paadhaththil pushpaanjali
  ponnae un peyarukku ponnaanjali
  kannae un kural vaazha geethaanjali
  kaviyae un thamizhvaaza kavithaanjali
  
  azhagiyae unaippoalavae adhisayam illaiyae
  anjali paeraichchonnaen avizhndhadhu mullaiyae
  kaarththigai maadham poanaal kadummazhai illaiyae
  kanmani neeyillaiyael kavidhaigal illayae
  neeyenna nilavoadu pirandhavalaa?
  poovukkul karuvaagi malarndhavalaa?
  anjali anjali ennuyirkkaadhali...
  
  
  Here's another love duet by VM with vivid descriptions. From the
  movie, "Thooral Ninnupoachchu":
  
  thangachchangili minnum payingili
  thaanae konjiyadhoa
  adhu thanjam malligai manjam
  endrivan thoalil thunjiyadhoa(/i>
  (the almost chant-like metered rhyme in the above lines makes the song
  seem like it belongs in another era but it was written in the 80s)
  malar maalai
  thalaiyanaiyai
  sugamae uruvaai
  oruvaai amudham
  tharuvaai parughiyabadi
  . . .
  Aasai ennum noolil
  aadai seyyum dhevi
  un saelayil poovelaigal
  un maeniyil poonjoalaigal
  
  andhip pooviriyum
  adhan ragasiyam
  sandhiththaal theriyum
  ivalin kanavu
  vidiyum varaiyil vidiyaathu
  thirumagal iravugal
  . . .
  kaaval nooru meeri
  kaadhal seyyum dhevi
  kannoaduthaan poraadinaal
  viyarvaigalil neermoozhginaal
  
  anbae aadaikodu enai anudhinam
  allich choodividu
  idhazhil idhazhaal
  kaditham ezhuthu
  oru paedhai urangida madikodu

  The following song from "Sindhu Bhairavi" is a rare love song for its context and VM excels in it. This is a singer's ode to his foremost fan who
  resurrects his art, his inspiration:
  
  kalaivaaniyae
  unaiththaanae azhaiththaen uyirththeeyai valarththaen
  varavaendum varam vaendum
  thudiththaen thozhudhaen palamurai
  ninaiththaen azhudhaen isai tharum
  . . .
  suram paadi siriththaay sirippaalae eriththaay
  madi meedhu mariththaen maru jenmam koduththaay
  siru viralgalil thalai koadhi madidhanil enai valarththaay
  isai enum varam varum naeram dhisai sollavillai marandhaay
  mugham kaatta maruththaay...aaaaaa...
  mugham kaatta maruththaay mughavariyai marandhaay
  nee mun vandhu poochchindhu
  vizhiththuligal therikkiradhu thudaiththuvidu
  . . .
  ullam azhudhadhu unnaith thozhudhadhu unadhu uyiril ivan paadhi
  gangai thalaiyinil mangai udalinil sivanum ivanum oru jaadhi
  raaman oruvagai kannan oruvagai irandum ulagil samaneedhi
  angae thirumagal ingae kalaimagal avalum ivalum saripaadhi
  kanneer perugiyadhae...aaaaaa...
  kanneer perugiya kangalil un mugham azhagiya nilavena midhakkum
  uyirae uyirin uyirae azhaghae azhaghin azhaghae
  ini azha valuvillai vizhigalil thuliyillai
  ini oru pirivillai thuyar vara vazhiyillai
  varuvaai...
  
  
  In this love song from "Aaraadhanai", VM plays with rhymes and words:
  
  thiruvaai malarvaai
  tharuvaai en paavai
  varuvaai viraivaai
  naan soodum poovaai
  
  saambal thagikkum
  theeyaavai
  kaayai rusikkum
  kaniyaavai
  . . .
  poovaikku naangal
  poo vaikka vaendum
  booloagam yaavum
  poo pozhiya vaendum
  minnalilae oru kayiru aedu
  megangalaal oru thooliyidu
  kaniyoa kadhiroa
  iLa maharadha thirumugam
  
  
  In this song from "Ilamaik Kaalangal", VM describes the intimacy
  of lovers by the scene, the setting:
  
  isaimaedaiyil indhavelaiyil
  suharaaham pozhiyum
  ilamai nerukkam
  irundhum thayakkam
  . . .
  kannimagal koondhal kalaindhirukka
  vandhu thodum un kaigal vaghidedukka
  bodhai kondu poo azhaikka
  theni vandhu then edukka
  kannik kozhundhu
  thottavudan poovaaga
  . . .
  muththam tharum eeram
  padhindhirukkum
  mullai elam poo aeduththu
  mugham thudaikkum
  
  
  In this song, from "Kadalorak Kavidhaigal", VM writes of the pain
  of separation:
  
  Poguthae poguthae
  en payingili vaanilae
  nanum saerndhu poagavum
  siragu illayae
  uravum illayae
  . . .
  nadanthaalum kaalgal
  nadaimaariyathoa
  ariyaadha aadhu
  vazhimaariyathoa
  
  pudavai adhu puthusu
  kizhindhu azhum manasu
  tharaikku vandha piragu
  thavikkum indhach charugu
  thangapoovae sandhippoamaa
  sandhithaalum sindhippoamaa
  gnyaayam thaanaa
  . . .
  maraithaalum kanneer
  madaithaandiyathoa
  . . .
  kaadhal ingae
  vettippaechchu
  kanneerthanae
  michchamaachchu
  
  
  Here, VM sees the joys of love as the many elements of nature.
  The song is from "Azhagan":
  
  mazhaiyum neeyae veyyilum neeyae
  nilavum neeyae neruppum neeyae
  adadaa unaiththaan vaazhum maanidar kaadhal enbadhaa
  . . .
  idhu enna mannil kooda nilavum varumaa
  sarasam payilum vizhiyil varumae
  idhu enna thenral kooda analaaych chudumaa
  thanimai ninaivil analaaych chudumae
  paarkkaamal mellap paarththaalae adhudhaanaa kaadhal kalai
  thoaloadu allich chaerththaalae adhudhaanaa moaga nilai
  adadaa idhudhaan sorggamaa
  idhu kaamadhavaenin yaaga saalaiyaa
  . . .
  kalaiyellaam kattruk kollum paruvam paruvam
  kadalneer alaipoal manamum alaiyum
  karu neelak kangal rendum pavazham pavazham
  eriyum viragam adhilae theriyum
  aegaandham indha aanandham idhan ellai yaararivaar
  aedhaedhoa sugam poadhaadhoa adhan aekkam yaararivaar
  mudhalaay mudivaay ingu enrum vaazhvadhu kaadhal onrudhaan

  From Iruvar: Classical references abound in this love song (maanvizhi ambugaL etc.)

  From (the much-maligned :–)) Jeans: Some interesting analogies to love...two phases (morning/night) but one day... two legs, but one journey... two hearts, but one love!
