Song of the Day, Nov 07, 2006

This song is an ode to a mother. It has really beautiful lyrics. I tried translating a few lines but i completely killed the beauty ... maybe vugs can try a nice translation without losing the poetry ...

I especially like ..

vinnai padaithan mannai padaithan
kaatrum mazhaiyum oliyum podaithan

boomikku adhanal nimmadi illai
saami thavitthan .. thaayai padaitthan

Song: Uyirum Neeye (listen)
Singer: Unnikrishnan
Album: Pavitra
Composer: A R Rahman

This is the best I could do..

You are the Life, You are the Form,
You are the kith and kin, Oh dear Mother

You bear the child, then tear your being,
to create a form for his living.

A drop of your tears is all it takes,
Even the mighty ocean shall be soused.

A life by your feet is all I need,
Even the heavens shall turn to ruse.

He painted the sky, laid out the land,
He gave it rain, light and weather.

Yet, the earth saw no peace,
and God was in grief, so
He created the Mother.
