Tamil Songs Translated!

On a site I found today for learning Tamil there was a lesson on songs.

The songs are written in Tamil and painstakingly transliterated into English and translated word by word into English!

See this link- http://www.duke.edu/~skc9/tamilclass/PDF/songs.pdf.

Enjoy.

Un Kuthama - Azhagi

I like this song a lot though it has a sad meaning. I like this movie very much. The acting was superb! I want to have this on DVD- anyone know where I can download/buy this?

I am also looking for the video of my favorite song from this movie - Damakku Damakku Dum. Anyone have this?

The good thing on this song clip is the English subtitles compliment the Tamil- so more can understand the beauty of the song and of the poetry of Tamil!!

Enjoy.

Happy Pongal!

In 2000, I had the opportunity to celebrate Pongal in a village in Tamil Nadu. Since then, even after returning to US, I have been celebrating Pongal! Read about Pongal below and see photos!

Vaa Vennila - Mella Thiranthathu Kadhavu

First time I saw this movie was in early 2000s. I really enjoyed this song in the picture sequence and the tune. I just hope the words are as good considering my lack of Tamil translation ability!

Lyrics here.

In this other video, Dil Dil Dil Manadhil, the girl has 'two faces.' One she has what Americans may call a unibrow- one long eyebrow connected all the way across (some friends in India used to tell me this was good luck). In the unibrow version, she is not wearing a bindi and has two braided pig tails. I wonder if this the 'Muslim' version of her character without her purdah is in the video below. In the second version of the girl, she has her hair back only partially, rest is down and straight. She has a big bindi and is wearing sari. Here her eyebrows are separated. In this other costume, she also has more prominent earrings and jewelry in her hair.

Oh Butterfly

The first time I heard this song, I did not like it. Then I grew to like it.

I wish I could embed it here, but it is not enabled. If you find one I can embed, leave a comment below.

Until then, the video is here, click here.

Paadariyaen Padippariyaen - Sindhu Bhairavi

En Kadhalae

I just love this song and this movie. Actually this is one movie I like all the songs! Eventually I will post them, too.

The acting by Prabhu (sax player) in this piece is amazing. So much feeling.

Tamil lyrics are at the youtube page, click here. I wish the video here was from the DVD with English subtitles so all (even me!) could appreciate the meaning. Romba azhagu (very beautiful).

Enjoy!
