Amuthe thamizhe azhagiya mozhiye.. for devout tamils

Songs glorifying tamil are not very common in TFM but some of those which go about doing that are ingrained so much in our memories that they are for us to treasure and rave about. Amudhe Tamizhe azhagiya mozhiye enadhuyire… Need I say more?

sariga sariga sarisari gabagari sariga
sariga sariga sarisari gabagari sariga

amuthe thamizhe azhagiya mozhiye enathuyire
sugam pala tharum thamizh paa (X 2)
suvaiyodu kavithagaL thaa (X 2)
thamizhe naaLum nee paadu (X 2)

theenoorum thevaram isai paattin aathaaram (X 2)
thamizhisaiye thaniyisaiye tharaniyile muthalisaiye
oon mezhugaai urugum karaiyum athil ulagam maranthu
pogum (X 2)
poongguyile ennodu thamizhe naalum nee paadu

ponnalla poovalla porulalla selvanggal (X 2)
kalai palavum payilavarum arivu vaLam perumai tharum
en kanavum ninaivum isaiye isaiyirunthaal maraNamethu (X 2)
en manathil then paaya thamizhe naalum nee paadu

Based on Rasika ranjani raga this is a Tamil/music connoisseur’s delight. P.Suseela and Uma would have sung this song which I believe comes in a situation of a music class. What a song to learn! Both of them would have imbibed the lyrics thoroughly and sung with extreme precision that this song would figure in the best tamil songs(lyrics+tune) of all times.

Very rarely used raga this Rasika ranjani in TFM(recent one is Ethilum ingu from Bharathi) melts you to the core. Written by Pulamai Pithan this song showers encomiums in Tamil that makes every tamilian proud. Incidentally(or calculatedly) he is the lyricist for Ethilum ingu from Bharathi as well. I bow before you sir.

The bestest part I would pick in this number

oon mezhugaai urugum karaiyum athil ulagam maranthu
pogum!

Tamil melts you.. This lyric melts you.. tune melts you and I forget the world! Salute dear Raja!
