Bliss

Bhoomi oru veenai Adhai Kaatrin kaigal meetume
Ketkum oli ellam - Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Da Ni Sa Re

(The Earth is like the Venna and the wind is the artist playing it
All the sounds that I hear is Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Da Ni Sa Re
PS: Pathetic translation I know ...n e wayz)

What beautiful lyrics.. I heard this song after a really really long time and I was just looking around to see the trees - Happy and fresh in varied shades of light green and full of new blooms.. A light breeze blowing and the trees swaying in the breeze.. It is magical to watch how the trees too seem mesmerized by the music that the wind creates and were swaying to the music. I tried to listen harder and viola! I could hear it too.. the Sound of Music!!! A moment of absolute bliss and the day begun with a very sweet note!

We tend to listen to music a lot ..but there are certain lines that makes a lot of sense to you ..you listen to the whole song again and again just to listen to thoose verses..its a great feeling .

Vidya,
U seem to be a good translator. I suspect you'd better get into translation rather than software. (Hey! just kidding)

Naveen said...

Is there not a translation for the raaga Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Da Ni Sa Re in english ?? :))

"The Earth is like the Venna"...Yen Earth-a butter-nu
thittara? ;)

It's one of my fav songs too (both for lyrics and music)..."Yaakai thiri" (from Aiyidha ezhuthu) is another one... (amazing music complemented by beautiful lyrics)...Vintage Vairamuthu at his best.. :)

Isn't the comment a little too late coming ---minsara kanavu is a early 90's movie.Late reaction but a good reaction.
