Kanaa Kandenadi from Parthiban Kanavu


This is a fantastic song from a really nice movie... I am not sure I quite understand the "Koocham unnai Nettith thalla". What is Netti? Do I have that wrong? Also, "Uthadugal naangum" - there are only two that I can see... Whats going on here? Looks too juicy to me...

Anbe Anbe from Jeans

This is just lovely song all in all... The lyrics are great, the tune is awesome and above all, if you can only concentrate on Aishwarya Rai and connect the lyrics to her, it is perfect.... Some people may take issues with the first two lines Aish... but remember it is all relative... If she has such a thin hip, then anything above looks big...

Vizhiyum Vizhiym from Chathurangam


Here are excerpts from a song I heard this morning.... If someone can add the english translation, that would be cool. I love especially the last line....

Introduction

I love tamil movie songs.... I simply love them to a point that it can be called an addiction... I have tapes of songs from 1978, I have a ton of CDs and now a ton of them on our iPod and I am constantly listening to them on two of my favorite radio stations on the internet: Merina and NUM radio

However, all this time, I have been fascinated by the music and the tunes and despite the fact that I have been fascinated by the lyrics, I never paid much attention to them. Why? My theory has been that my brain has only so much capacity that I either can remember the tunes or the lyrics and not both. And that it would be easier to find lyrics than tunes...

So, after all these years, I have begun paying attention to the lyrics and am beginning to discover a treasure... I am trying to pick a few that is very appealing to me (thats right, me!!!) and catalog them here for others to enjoy and comment on....

I cannot rememebr all the four sisters of my good friend Sanjai. I need to put it in here so I can look it up on demand - sarita, neelu, pallu pappu.
