Basking in poetry...

Adding one more...
Movie: Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu

"Ulagathin kadaisi naal
Indru thaano enbathu pol,
Pesi pesi theertha pinnum
Etho onru kuraiyuthae!"


Bharathi is one of my favorite poets. Baghu and I used to try our hands at composing some tunes for Bharathiar songs during those idle hostel days. Ofcourse one doesn't expect the standards of Bharathi in movie songs these days, but I do expect to enjoy the lyrics of the song as much as the beats and music carrying it.

I am listing a few lines which impressed me the first time I heard them...

Movie: Thotti Jaya

"Engayo un mugam naan partha nyabagam.
Eppotho unnudan naan vazhntha nyabagam."


Movie: Kadhal Kondaen

"Natpinilae natpinilae pirivu enbathu ethumillai
Un manamum en manamum pesa varthaikal thevai illai."



Movie: Kannathil Muthamittal

"Katrin perisaiyum mazhai padum padalgalum
Oru mounam pol inbam tharumo
Kodi keerthanamum kavi kortha varthaigalum
Thuli kanneer pol artham tharumo.."



Movie: Alaipayuthae

"Kilaiyil kanum kiliyin mookku
Vidalai pennin vetrilai naakku
Bhoomi thodatha pillaiyin patham
Ella sivappum unthan kobam... "


Movie: Ghajini

""Parthu pazhagiya naangu thinangalil
Nadai udai bhavanai matri vittal
Salai munaigalil thuritha unavugal
vangi unnum vadikkai kaatti vittal.

...and there are lot more...will add them next time I listen to them. Do add your favorite lines in the comments if you are reminded of any.
