Kannadasan, an Immense Joy-Episode2

Let us enjoy one more masterpiece from our beloved Kannadasan. This song is from a Tamil movie called ‘Veera Abhimanyu’ and beautifully sung by the legendary PBS and P. Suseela. Let us read the lyric first:

Paarthen sirithen pakkathil azhaithen
Anru unaithen ena naan ninaithen
Andha malaithen idhuvena malaithen.

Paarthen sirithen pakkam vara thudithen
Anru unaithen ena naan ninaithen
Andha malaithen ivarena malaithen.

Kodithen iniengal kudithen
Ena oru padi then paarvaiyil kudithen
Thuli then sindhamal kalithen
Oru thuli then sindhamal kalithen
Kaigalil anaithen azhaginai rasithen

Malarthen pol naanum malarnthen
Unakkena valarnthen paruvathil mananthen
Eduthen koduthen suvai then
Inithen illadhapadi kadhai mudithen

What is great about this song?

1. The lovely repetition of ‘then’ (then in Tamil means honey) . Tamil is happy to be played in the words of Kannadasan?
2. The lovely melodious voices of both the great singers.
3. The touching effect of ‘Sahana’ Raga.
4. The great music by KV Mahadevan, another genius from Tamilnadu, India.
5. The lingering effect of this evergreen song.
