Song of the Day (Southern Sundays Edition)--Konjum Mainakkale

Konjum Mainakkale 

Film:  Kandukondain Kandukondain (I Have Found It)
Starring:  Tabu, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Abbas, Mammootty, Ajith, Pooja Batra
Music by:  AR Rahman

Lest anyone think that Indian cinema is all about the big brash Bollywood hits, on Sundays I'll be headed south for the Song of the Day feature.  Konjum Mainakkale is the opening song from the Tamil film "Kandukondain Kandukondain," which is an entertaining take on Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility.  Featuring Aishwarya Rai in one of her earlier roles, the film also stars the gorgeous Tabu (Chandni Bar, The Namesake, Cheeni Kum), Abbas, Mammootty, and one of my favorites, Ajith.  The film is beautiful and all of the songs (save the title song "Kandukondain Kandukondain") are stunning.  Be sure to also check out "Yenna Solla Poigirai."

Lyrics:

konjum mainaakkalae konjum mainaakkalae en kural kaettu onru koodungal (2)
ada inrae varavaendum en dheepaavali pandigai
inrae varavaendum en dheepaavali pandigai
naalai verum kanavu adhil nallennam varum
naam nattadhae roajaa enrae pookkanum

konjum mainaakkalae konjum mainaakkalae en kural kaettu onru koodungal

pagalil oru vennilaa...
pagalil oru vennilaa vandhaal paavamaa
iravil oru vaanavil vandhaal kutramaa
vidai sol sol sol manasukkul jal jal jal (2)
konjam aasai konjam kanavu ivai illaamal vaazhkkaiyaa
nooru kanavugal kandaalae aaru kanavugal palikkaadhoa
kanavae kai saera vaa

konjum mainaakkalae konjum mainaakkalae en kural kaettu onru koodungal

en paeraich cholliyae kuyilgal koovattum
enakkaetra maadhiri paruvam maarattum
baradham dham dham manadukkuL daam doom dim (2)
poongaatrae konjam kizhiththu engal muga vaervai poakkidum
naalai enbadhu kadavuLukku irRu enbadhu manidharukku
vaazhvae vaazhbavarkku

konjum mainaakkalae konjum mainaakkalae en kural kaettu onru koodungal
ada inrae varavaendum en dheepaavali pandigai
inrae varavaendum en dheepaavali pandigai
naalai verum kanavu adhil nallennam varum
naam nattadhae roajaa enrae pookkanum
