Nerathin Neram Ellaam - Maalai Pozhuthin Mayakathile


The true pleasure and satisfaction of listening to a song...is not just listening to it with your ears...it is listening to it with the eyes of your soul...being absorbed in it...getting soaked in its lyrical poetry...up to the point...where you lose yourself...you lose control....and then...it happens... the song and you become one...and you breathe...to the rhythm of the song...

Here is one such song....

nerathin neram yellam
unnai paarthu moochu vida
kaatrin suvasam enggu
unai thoda maayam seiya

 
kanavum ithai pol kaatchi engum kandathillai
enru solli rasikka


poraatam enru sonnen
artham naanum therinthu kolla


poorin vaalai pole
unthan kangal ennai kolla


adada vali kuda sugam enru
sugam enra sol
....Ennavoh....



If a poem could join a beauty pageant... this..... is Miss World/ Miss Universe. 
.....at least where I am sitting as the Chief Judge for the pageant (hahahahaha)

Time for interpretation....

nerathin neram yellam
unnai paarthu moochu vida
kaatrin suvasam enggu
unai thoda maayam seiya

Meaning: 
Every single minute, I breathe thinking about you
and even the breath I exhale....reaches out to touch you....like magic  

kanavum ithai pol kaatchi engum kandathillai
enru solli rasikka
 


Meaning: 
Even a dream would be left enthralled...speechless...after witnessing such beauty   

Pooraatam enru sonnen
artham naanum therinthu kolla

Meaning: 
To win your love would be the greatest challenge in my life...but, what would be the meaning of my life...without you, even if I have to go to war to win your love (symbolical meaning of the word war, not literal)

Poorin vaalai pole
unthan kangal ennai kolla

Meaning: 
Like a sword used in a war, a piercing glance of your eyes is killing me

adada vali kuda sugam enru
sugam enra sol
....Ennavoh....

Meaning: 
The irony is...even the pain of defeat is pleasurable in love...if not just a word....
....Whatever...
