AR Rahman 'Nenjikulle' song from 'Kadal' rocks!
AR Rahman premiered his Mani Ratnam’s Kadal song at MTV unplugged season 2, which was telecast on Saturday (November 3) night.
AR Rahman performed "Nenjukulle" from Kadal sung by Shakthisree Gopalan. The song a soft poignant melody became an instant hit with viewers and was trending on Twitter.
The US based Filmmaker Naveen said: “Nenjukulle is a heart-stroking composition, mellifluous poetry, perfect rendition and wonderfully arranged!Most of AR's female vocal finds have a good 'bass' voice including Shakthisree Gopalan. There is magic with the violin by Anne Marie Calhoun.”
The song has less instruments and more melody with lovely meaningful lyrics by Vairamuthu.
The ARR number has also made the Chennai based singer Shakthisree Gopalan even more popular. Recently she sang in Jab Tak Hai Jaan with Javed Ali under AR Rahman baton.
Now fans of AR Rahman are eagerly looking forward for the audio launch of Mani Ratnam’s Kadal which will take place later this month.

Thanks to the uploaderI have attempted to translate "Nenjukkulla". Those who are good at translating, please improvise / correct accordingly to make it better.
The song is about a girl who has fallen in love but unable to express her love to her lover. The song is composed based on the lyrics from an existing poem from vairamuthu's collections. The poem has a very good use of rhyme and alliteration. Thus, the words rhyme well in Tamil.
Translation:
In my heart…
I’ve tied you...
I don’t know in which direction my day rose?
You threw an innocent look at me
My mind, which couldn’t resist that, is like a wet mirror!
A Colorful dollar chain...A watch on the right hand…
And an authority that controls even Elephants and Tigers!!
Even after you had left
Your shadow hasn’t gone
It had fallen in my heart
I rose up seeing this
And after, I never went down
My mind is straight like a metallic rib in an umbrella…
In my heart…
I’ve tied you…
I don’t know in which direction my day rose?
Birds have slept already
Milk has turned into curd
Even the leaf in the tree has slept
When people with Cancer could sleep
I am infected with this desire and
I Couldn’t sleep even for half-a-minute!
(“Kaasa Noi” means Cancer and “Aasa Noi” means Infected by Desire; the words rhyme well in Tamil)
In my heart…
I’ve tied you…
I don’t know in which direction my day rose?
I couldn’t eat…
My tongue is dry…
It’s been 7 to 8 days and
I haven’t even swallowed my saliva!
I am a poor little girl
who couldn’t express anything
Like a rubber bangle
Which couldn’t make any sound!
In my heart…
I’ve tied you…
I don’t know in which direction my day rose?

Ide like to think that i can understand Tamil, but this song is really hard to understand. The words sound alien to me. Can someone type the lyrics in English and post it to us unfortunate ones who cant read Tamil?
Sadhakallahu Nabiyul Kareem - A R Rahman
ARR magic is slowly happening to me now - Nenjukulle song sounds better and better with each listen...

Just one song and twitter/fb came to a standstill for the last couple of days. If Rajni is for acting, then it's ARR for music.

கடல் பாடலின் காதலர்களே! நன்றி.
உங்கள் அன்பில் திளைக்கிறேன். நீங்கள் மேற்கோள் காட்டும் வரிகளில் வாழ்கிறேன்.
தமிழ்க்காதல் பாட்டுப்போகவில்லை; கவிதைக்காதல் வற்றிப்போகவில்லை.
நல்ல ரசனையே நல்ல கலைகளை வளர்த்தெடுக்கும்.
மீண்டும் நன்றி.
மணிரத்னம்-ஏ.ஆர்.ரகுமான் @arrahman என்ற உலகக் கலைஞர்கள் இருவரும் என் தமிழுக்குக் கிட்டிய தங்கத் தூண்கள். அவர்களைத்தான் நீங்கள் வாழ்த்த வேண்டும்.
கொஞ்சம் காத்திருங்கள் மிச்சப் பாடல்களில் இருக்கிறது உச்சப்பாடல்-அதுவரை ‘ நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள’ இந்தப் பாடலை முடிந்து வைத்திருங்கள்.
