Vangayya Vangikkayya - Adaikkalam


I love the tune and besides, one of my favorite singer and friend Anuradha (or Anooradha or whatever else it is for today) Sriram has sung this. I had a real hard time unraveling the lyrics, so there is likely to be some mistakes here and I simply gave up on the second caranam.

Frankly because of lack of clarity to the singing, the first stanza last line is meaningless to me.

I felt that the first caranam is sort of all over... "If Kaveri overflows, then Kollidam is where the overflow drains" OK... then the woman says "If sexual feelings overflow, then women are where the excess drains"... This is really crossing the lines I think... But who is to ask?

Anyways, I have it here because some of these lines are a little bit catchy and the tune is fantastic... Not much to say.
