Song of the Day, Jan 17, 2006
Song: Oru Naal Podhuma (listen)
Singer: Balamuralikrishna M
Composer: K V Mahadevan
Lyrics : Kannadasan
Movie: Thiruvilaiyadal
This is a semi-classical song from a very old Tamil movie, "Thiruvilayadal", one of A P Nagarajan's mythological masterpieces. The main song is in the ragam Mandu, I think. But dont miss the ragamalika (a sequence of lines, each sung in a different ragam) at the end. The lyrics are so beautifully written that the name of the ragam falls within each line and yet the meaning fits well with the overall theme of the song.

The main theme of the song is the singer telling the crowd how talented he is and that there is none in the world to match up to him. These are the lyrics and translation for the ragamalika part of the song.
Isai Kaettu EzhunDodi Varuvaarendru
Enakku Inayaaga Durbaril Yevarum Undo
Kalayaadha MohanaChuvai Naanandro
Kaanadaaaa.. En paatu Thenada. Isai Deivam Naanada.
Translation:
Upon Listening to my music, people rush to see me
Is there anyone in this hall equal to me
Am I not an undiluted sweet taste
Come and See, my song is like nectar. I am God of music.
