Yeithoa Ninaivugal - Memories of Another Day

[Oldposts]

My God, when I read the lines "Maragatha Megam sindhum mazhai varum neramidhu" I tried really hard to get the tune to which the lines were set and finally I got it! Believe me it's been nearly twenty years since I either heard this song or tried humming it. That sent me on a nostalgic trip to the days when amidst bitter exchanges we used to hoist our favorite MD's flag up. Time was when I used to literally die by MSV and those days are "NinathalE Inikkum" even now. It was only later it became crystal clear to me that Maestro Ilayaraja is a talent not commonly seen. I would like to list the following songs of MSV that I am still very fond of. Where possible I have also listed the movie names.

1) Nool Veli

Naana paaduvathu naana
Naanum Ila vayadhu maana

I think SPB and Vani Jayaram were the singers.

2) Poi Kaal Kuthirai

Ellam therigiradhu
Enakku ellam therigiradhu
Mana kannukku munnalE
Oru kannadiyai polE
Azhagu ellam therigiradhu

Sung by SPB I think. What a song.

3) Ore Vaanam ore Bhoomi

Malai rani mundhanai sariya sariya
Mann maadha vanna vizhi viriya viriya
Ilam kaatru maarbagathai thazhuva thazuva
EnnugindrEn kavidhai ondru ezhudha ezhudha

In between a foreign voice croons la la la la la la!

In the same movie I distinctly recall Jaishankar plunging into idli and sambar and then singing the song

OrE vaanam orae bhoomi
orE jaadhi orE needhi
....

Abraham lincoln dhan andrE sonnar
karuppenna velupenna ondrE endrar
.....

ulaga makkalE oar inam endru
sonnanE ungal kennedy (?) andru

4) A Bharathan directed movie -- I think it is Saavithri, but I may be wrong. I recall very few words of the following song sung by Jayachandran.

Mazhai kaalamum pani kaalamum sugamaanavai
Maayan theril varum maya leelaigalai ..

paravasam adaigindra idhyangalE

5) Don't know the movie name but the song:

Kaanchi pattuduthi
kasthuri pottu vechu
devathai pol nee nadanthu vara vEndum
antha thirumagalum un azaghai pera vendum
antha thirumagalum un azaghai pera vendum

6) Agni Saatchi by KB

Kanaa kaanum kangal mella
urangadho paadal solla
nila kaala megam ellam
ula pogum neram kannE
ula pogum neram kannE

sung by SPB when MSV was more or less done with.

7) Keezh vaanam sivakkum

Kadavul ninaithAn
Mana naal thodathAn
vaazhkai undavadhEn
thiru magalE nee vazhgavE

AvanE inaithAn
Uravai valarthAn
irandum ondravdhEn ...

sung by TMS who had reached the end of his tether by that time (more or less).

Same movie TMS and Susila

Kann kanda deivamE
Kai vandha selvamE
Muruga muruga

Ennenna solgindrAn
Ennenna seigindrAn
silar ullathukkul ullam
vaipadhu un velaya
veliyaa (God) idhu un velaya

And then

Pillayai kondru vittu periya virundhu vaithan
kallamil paranjothiyE ...(TMS rocks here)

8) Saranaalayam

Ezhudhukiral oru pudhu kavidhai
vanna iru vizhiyal indha poon-kodhai
Idhai vida illakiyam kidayadhu
Ilakana varambugal idharkEdhu?

9) Don't know name of movie

Radhi devi sannidhiyil rahasiya poojai
rasamana ninaivugalil idhal mani oasai

sung by TL Maharajan and some lady

10) Don't know the name of movie

Sandhirana paatha sooriyana therigiradhu
sengarambu kooda vEmbAha kasakkiradhu

11) Nizhal nijamagiradhu

Two beauties.

Beauty 1:

Kamban Emandhan
Ilam kanniyarai oru
MalarendranE
Karpanai seidhanE
Kamban Emandhan

Beauty 2:

Illakanam maarudho
Ilaakiyam aanadho
Idhu varai nadithadhu
adhu enna vEdam
idhu enna paadam (may be wrong words)


I will write more later.
