If you say that you don’t enjoy music, you would be lying. There is a song for every mood and every occasion. When you are feeling sad, you can turn to music to feel better. And when you are happy, you can put on some beats and dance to them. But one thing that we often forget is that music is also a way to connect with others. Through people’s taste in music, we can get to know them in a better way. But music can also introduce us to other cultures. Every community has its own popular tunes that become a part of its identity. So, by listening to old Tamil songs, you can understand the cultures of Tamils.

Tamil:

Chinna thai aval thandha rasave

Mulil thondriya chinna rosave

Solava? Araro,

Nam sondagal yar-yaro

Undhan kannil yenthaan niro?

(Chinna thai aval)

Paal manam veesum poo mugham

Paarkayil pongum thai manam

Aayiram kalam our varam

Vendhida vandha poocharam

Veyil vidhiyil vaada koodumo

Deival kovilai chendre serumo

Endhan tenare

(Chinna thai aval)

English:

Oh, dear one from my young mother

A small rose among the thorns

Shall I, oh little one, tell you

Who is your tribe?

Why do you have tears in your eyes?

A soft face that looks like a flower and smells like milk

Your mother’s heart becomes happy only when she sees you

For thousand years, I only had one wish (to have my child)

You are a garland of flowers that came to me as a result of my prayers of thousand years

Will you wither in the sun?

Or reach the temple?

My river of flowing honey

Evano Oruvan Vaasikkiraan

Iruttil Irundhu Naan Yaasikkiren

Thavam Pol Irundhu Yosikkiren

Naan Endro Endro Irandhiruppen

English:

Someone plays the flute out there,

and I sit in my darkness and listen to it,

I am lost in its trance and in my thoughts,

The music of the flute is growing on me, (just like the grief is taking over her).

The more I listen, the more I feel connected to it,

but the one playing the flute does not know that I am listening to him play.

I don’t understand the secrets he is conveying through his music from the forest.

Dear flute,

Both you and I are the same,

We long for something,

And this longing can be shared between us equally.

This music that is bringing tears to my eyes,

Keeps me from thinking about my worries as time passes.

If it wasn’t for this sweet music,

I would have left the world long ago.

Are you a wilted flower that never speaks?

Is it possible for broken bangles to speak?

Where are the fingers that use to warm my hands?

I can’t lie on your shoulder now that you are not here.

English:

God is here,

And so is fragrance,

But where is the beautiful song of rain?

Dusk has arrived,

The Manichigai flower is here,

But where are the yellow rays of the sun?

Minds are full of thoughts,

and the world is full of people in love.

Roads can change,

So can the traveler,

But the beauty of the moon and its light in our path,

will never change.

The shore of a river or sea might change,

But the lover will never change.

Dear dream, don’t disappear!

Dear blessing, don’t go away!

What more can I say?

When our eyes meet,

No words come out.

Fills the air.
