Sivappu Lolaakku kulungudhu... Rajasthani royal treatment

Today its gonna be a song which many might have not listened off late but while it was released it was a rage among girls in particular. Starring the ultimate star the movie Kadhal kottai was a run-away hit and Deva did more than a decent job in his score. In fact he was one of the pivotal reasons for the success of the movie. The song I am going to talk about today is “Sivappu lolaakku kulungida..” based on Raga Mohanam. So much to the brilliance of Deva that he composed another Mohanam in the movie “Vellarikka pinju Vellarikka…” and people talk about him as just-a-copy-cat? He was a shadow of Ilayaraja then and there is no exaggeration while I say this!

Sivappu Lolaakku Kulungudhu Kulungudhu
Mookkil Bullaakku Jolikudhu Jolikudhu
Sivappu Lolaakku Kulungudhu Kulungudhu
Mookkil Bullaakku Jolikudhu Jolikudhu
Ammamma Amsamaa Yaana Mela Poraama
Kan Jaada Kai Jaada Kaatti Kaatti Poraama
Rajasthaanin Chinna Ponnu Aengudhu Aengudhu Kombu Thaenu.
Sivappu Lolaakku Kulungudhu Kulungudhu
Mookkil Bullaakku Jolikudhu Jolikudhu

Malaioram Malaioram Manam Alayudhu Kalaioram
Vilayaadum Vilayaadum Engal Thamizh Annai Kavi Paadum
Malaioram Malaioram Manam Alayudhu Kalaioram
Vilayaadum Vilayaadum Engal Thamizh Annai Kavi Paadum
Enga Ooru Kaatru Vandhu Indha Ooril Veesudhadi
Ootagathil Aerikittu Oora Chuththi Kaattidhadi
Ettukatta Mettu Katti Enna Paattu Naan Paada
Sangadhigal Onnu Rendu Ingae Angae Naan Poda
Rajasthaanin Chinna Ponnu Aengudhu Aengudhu Kombu Thaenu.

Thoduvaanam Thoduvaanam Indha Azhagugal Thodum Vaanam
Tholai Thooram Tholai Thooram Dinam Kanavugal Nadai Podum
Thoduvaanam Thoduvaanam Indha Azhagugal Thodum Vaanam
Tholai Thooram Tholai Thooram Dinam Kanavugal Nadai Podum
Suthi Suthi Ennai Suthi Suthuraale Chinna Kutti
Muthu Muthu Palla Kaatti Muththamidum Vella Katti
Pottazhaghu Nethiyile Ittukolla Veikaadha
Kattazhaghu Oosi Kondu Kuthi Kuthi Theikaadha
Rajasthaanin Chinna Ponnu Aengudhu Aengudhu Kombu Thaenu.

A good mohanam in this song becomes a great mohanam because of SPB’s rendition. A diamond to TFM, he has made even ordinary songs sound fantastic, why to talk about good songs. Even after these many songs in his career there is still a freshness in his voice and its tough to replace him when he retires. He’s someone like Sachin.

The bestest part I would pick in this number is

Ettukatta Mettu Katti Enna Paattu Naan Paada
Sangadhigal Onnu Rendu Ingae Angae Naan Poda

The song reverberates in my mind so much.. Greatness of Mohanam and the composition. A Pat on the back, Deva sir!
