Vellai Pookal....

I just heard a beautiful song sung and composed by A.R.Rahman....beautiful not only on the music but also the lyrics....Listening this song in a quiet environment and also during a rainy day will make u feel like flying...I have also included the lyrics with English translation so that everyone can treasure the beauty of the lyrics....enjoy.... :-)

P/s The song is more like a prayer for world peace....

Pallavi
--------
Vellai pookkal ulagam engum malargavey!

(Let white flowers bloom all around earth,)
Vidiyum bhoomi amaithikkaga vidigavey!

(Wakening world arise for peace,)
Manmael manjal velichcham vizhugavey!

(Amber light suffuse the morning dust, )

Malarey soambal muriththu ezhugavey!

(And flowers stretch from the arms of slumber. )

Kuzhandhai vizhikkattumae, thaayin kadhakadhappil

( Let the child wake up from the mother's morning cuddle,)
Ulagam vidiyattumey, Pillayin siru mudhal sirippil...

(And let the whole world awaken to the child's first sleepy smile of the morning.)

Charanam-1
-----------
Kaatrin paerisayum,

Mazhai paadum paadalgalum,

(The great music of winds, and songs that rain sings,)

Oru mounam, poal inbam, tharumo?

(Can it bring forth happiness as does a moment of silence? )

Kodi keerthanamum
Kavi koartha vaarthaigalum,

(Billions of melodies and sweet words of the poet, )

Thuli kanneer, poal artham, tharumo?

(Can it convey the meaning as a drop of tear does?)

(Repeat Pallavi)

Charanam - 2
-------------
Engu siru kuzhandhai,
Than kaigal neettidumo,

Angu thoandraayo, Kollai, nilavey!

(Where a small child holds out her hand - Ask a thousand moons to appear!)

Engu manidha inam,
Poar oindhu saaindhidumo,
Angu koovaayo, vellai, kuyile!

(Where a war-worn humanity tired rests - Ask the white Indian cuckoo to sing! )

(Repeat Pallavi)

Hosanna...

Finally the wait for the audios for the movie Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya (VTV in short) or "Would You Cross the Skies for Me" is over....Audios was being released officially on 12th of this month...

The bumper combination of Gautham Menon (director) and double Oscar winner A.R. Rahman (music director) plus Simbhu and Trisha as the leading casts promises to be Valentine's Day sell-out. The Mozart of Chennai has produced 6 beautiful tracks for this movie...which my ears won't go weary hearing these songs repeatedly. All the songs were nice but my personal favourite was the song , Hosanna. If you google this word, it will say it is a word of praise in Christianity and Judaism. But, however in the context of this movie, the word is recited as joy of falling in love. This is the lyric for the song... enjoy....

P/s Pls give your support by buying Original CD's...can't wait for the movie's release on Feb 12...

Hosanna

En ithayam, unaithaan norunggave

Hooo Hosanna Hosanna Hoooo x2

Antha naeram anthi naeram kan paarthu kanthal aagi poane naerum etho aache,
Oh vaanatheendi vanthachu appaavin veete ellam kaathrodu poaye poache

Aval poana pinbu enthan nenjai thedi pogiren

Hosanna, valvukkum pakkam vanthen,
Hosanna, savukkum pakkam nindren
Hosanna, yen indral kathal inben,

Everybody wanna know how I feel
I feel like I really wanna be here with you
It's not enough to say that we're made for each other
It's love that is Hosanna true
Hosanna, be there when you call me out i'll be there
Hosanna, feeling like my whole life has changed
I never wanna be the same,
It's time we rearrange,
I take a step, you take a step,
Me callin' out to you
Hello... Hello... Hello... Hello...


Vanna vanna patthu poochi poo thedi poo thedi anggum ingum alaigindradre
Oh sotthu sotthai totthu poage megum ondru megum ondru enggenggo nagargindradre
Hosanna, patthu poochi vanthacha?
Hosanna, maegum unnai thotthacha?
Kilinjal aagirai nan, kulanthai aagiren
Naan unnai alli kaiyil vaithu pothikolgiren

Hello hello hello yohooo Hosanna....

Hosanna, en maethu anbu kolla
Hosanna, ennodu sendre sella
Hosanna, um endru sollu pothum
Hosanna...


En ithayam, unaithaan norunggave

En ithayam, unaithaan norunggave
En maru ithayam, tharuven nee udaikave

Ponggal Valzhtukkal

Tomorrow on January 14th, Indians worldwide will be celebrating Ponggal. Boiling rice until it spills out of the claypot is a norm in this festival . This is to symbolize the longevity of prosperity. Pongal is basically a harvest festival , to mark an end to a traditional farming season in mainland India. Pongal also marks the start of the northwards movement of the Sun for the remaining six months. Traditionally, Ponggal is celebrated in 4 days, 1st day is called Boghi where people will throw off unwanted , old products and changed them with new products , symbolising the new spirit in life. 2nd day is Thaiponggal itself, 1st day of the Thai month , 3rd day is called Maatu Ponggal and the 4th day is Kannum Ponggal. For more info on this festival, click What is Pongal ?

Last but not least, I would like to wish all my Indian friends Happy Ponggal.

En Iniya Ponggal Valzhtukkal . Ponggalo Ponggal !!!!

Happy New Year 2010...

As I an typing this post, 37 final minutes of 2009 remains and it keeps on ticking away...

This is my last post of 2009.

When we hear about the New Year Countdown, the poem "Auld Lang Syne" comes to mind....and it does rhyme..syne and mind...Hehe..

Anyway, I have decided with you all the origin of this New Year classic.

It happens to be that "Auld Lang Syne" origins from a Scottish poem penned by Robert Burns in 1788, being sung to the tune of Roud 6294...

Auld Lang Syne in English are "Old Long Since" and ever since has been sung in the countdown to New Year in most of the English speaking countries...and has many versions...

These are the lyrics...HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 guys !!!!!

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne ?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely you'll buy your pint cup !
and surely I'll buy mine !
And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS
We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we've wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS
We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine† ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS
And there's a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o' thine !
And we'll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.

holidays are here again...

For the umpteenth time I 've been saying this but yet again I'm posting in this blog after a long hiatus...(told ya I'm sucks when it comes to commitment)...anyways I'm gonna type watever crosses my mind 2day...

of course holiday mood is conquering me all over...90 days of pure relaxations awaits...but I have to admit it was quite a rocky 1o months.

I admit I can't make everyone like me for what I am..so I pray to God everyday for strength to pass thru each day...and stick to a principle that yesterday is a history, tommorow is a mystery but today is a gift, thus called present...kinda catchy but true..

I also noticed frm my one of my friend who likes to listen to Reggae songs a lot..and as an effect he is calm and composed in nature ...complete opposite to me...emotional and short-tempered....

perhaps there is a link between music and affective after all....

in fact I'm at Starbucks rite nw and they r playing reggae music...and i felt relaxed...da feeling i havent felt in quite a some time...

So perhaps i should give a Reggae music a green light...

Anyway, just killing the time as my bus is due 2nite..

Holidays is a time for self-relfection...

Happy Holidays folks !!!
