Welcome to learn and speak Tamil like a Native
video 110.
. And today again we are going to see a sweet
song .
The song situation goes like this .. the heroine
of the movie is about to marry a man . And
being a doctor she participates in a medical
camp in a cyclone hit area as they do in emergency
situations ..this disrupts her marriage plans
or something along the lines of that ... and
she is waiting for her fiancee to come meet
her.
So this song is a all about separation and
love ... As adults It is OK for you to listen
to the song as the Music is good .. the tune
is by AR Rahman .. .lyricist is Vairamuthu
and the singer Swarnalatha.. has really sung
it in a scintillating voice .. who is no more
now, unfortunately.
When you learn a language it is also good
for you to get to know some personalities
in arts and culture ...
The song is evanO oruvan vaasikkiraan .. if
you wish to youtube search ... from the movie
"alaipaayudhAe" meaning "indecisive wandering
of the mind in a disturbing state" that can
be said in just a word " alaipaayudhU"
As always I have given a couple of links in
the description ... one is video and audio
and the other is just the audio where the
sound quality is better.
If you like you could watch the video first
before going through this lyrics and that
can give you some idea perhaps .
And as far as the videos we have done so far
we have done 110 videos and here is the list.
This can help us to have a balance .. I think
many of you are missing out on grammar videos
, but they are the most important ones .. once
you get thorough with it you could watch just
any videos .. not just this channel conversation..
And if you are new to this channel please
click here above , or you will find the link
in the description to access all the videos.
Let us get to the song now and another suggestion
for you ... you could try using a laptop or
a tab and turn it to a full screen since this
is more of script and sounds.
That would be better than mobile.
But if you could manage in a mobile screen
.. well that is upto you ...
 means "someone
is playing " and "vasikkE" is the verb used
for playing music instruments.
"evanO orunvan" means " somebody someone "
 means "me, from the
darkness" .. and  means to beg
.. but here it can mean the yearning and this
word is more poetic and literary .. and not
used in spoken form .  someone
is playing the music instrument and I am yearning
in the darkness...
 is .. she
is consumed with it like a penance and the
thought haunts her....
. .. I
am loving that in installments .. but here
the instalments probably means that she is
loving and yearning whenever some musical
sound is playing...played in her mind... and
not continuous...
She is busy at work too ...
4  it is that " I am
listening and listening constantly " ... 
means your heart is melting with overpowering
emotion  ....yes this is used
sometimes in the meaning of "besotted or smitten
" in colloquial language.
 means " he
is not aware of my listening" ... thereby
all the pain she goes through ...
 means the wild or forest
bamboo ...and now I think you can guess the
instrument he is playing .. that is the flute.
As you can understand here it is just an allegory
.. the surface meaning conveys is what I am
translating.... but the actual meaning the
song could convey is different.
So , I am not expert .. I am just doing the
translation and trying to find.. hmmm. the
..the .. underlying meaning of it.
So it is open for us to interpret in different
ways.
  means inside the ear.. imagine the flute
as the istrument and the hole you blow the
air through is the ear of it .. so it listens
to what you blow and tell it .. and it tells
aloud as music with different emotions.
.. ah poets...
 means
the secret that he whispers by blowing the
air , to the ear of the flute .. She is not
able to understand or interpret it.
So meaning so far goes as someone is playing
the music that makes her suffer in the dark
.. she says...I am suffering and he does not
know that I am listening and suffering .. and
I do not understand what he is conveying ...
now we move on to the next stanza.
Usually there are stanza 1 , 2 and 3 . This
is the second one. and the first one gets
repeated if you are familiar with how the
indian filmy music goes.
 means the flute and 
is another name for it . < pullaanguzhalAe
,,poonguzhalAe>
 and that means
you and I are of the same type....
 means ... the
way we suffer and long from just being inside
or trapped....
 means "it is
just half and half for us both" ... here it
means you as a flute take half the sorrow
within you and suffer... while I take in the
rest half of it as music and suffer within
me... hmmm ...ok ... that is my interpretation
from the translation .. could be something
else too.
 means .. the
honeydipped music that soothes the eyes...
 I will
have forgotten the time as well as the sorrows
 if there is
no such sweet music

I would have died or perished long long ago
now let us go to the next stanza .... means " the sleep deprived " <munniravil
> means the early nights .. "the sleep deprived
early nights " may be the time from 10 to
1 .. I don't know what that is .. it is just
an abstract idea ..
 is there
a change in the deep mind.. may be it means
the transition from her work routine to her
sorrow time... or whatever...
 means in the merciless
nights..
" is this a comfort
that someone is sending ? "
 for my sorrows
to relieve
 there
is no other medicine like this ... she means
the music
 to cry
like that flute
 I do not have
so many eyes
And then it goes to the first stanza
If you listen to the song a few times , it
is fairly simple..
And this is not a high literary .. These are
fairly simple ones that even a 12 year old
can understand ..hmm... may not be the allusion
or the deeper meaning of it.. but basic phrases
are easy ..too easy . And you also get an
idea of how the formal Tamil sounds.
I hope you enjoyed it ..
