That's a pretty neat translation but te book I have has some more lines. With your permission I'll give those here -
Thanseyyal enni thavipathu Theernthingu
Nnseyyal seydu niraivu perumvannam      
This cones before Thunpamillai.....  And at the end these two lines occur.
Nallathu Thiyathu namariayom, annai
nallathu nattuga,Thimayai Otuga

Do you think kannama id kannan?? To me she is his love, mother, friend, godess - all tat an emotional and passionate being like Bharathi would look for in a women. Thanks for this post . Enjoyed opening up Bharathi's poems again.

Excellent work Cheti...A real tribute to Bharathiyar...I like his poems too..Tho i have read only a very few..

Hi Muthu

I wanted some of them to try and wonder how tamilians speak this language 

Cheti

nice attempt
but you could have posted the song in tamil fonts along english translation....

Cheti

ROFL - yea... "A genius ! Passionate genius positve romantic creative soul" means eccentricity I guess...but yea.. given his mind I am sure he didn't live "normal accepted standard" life and oh yea... he is one hellava passionate guy :) Got to read on him...have seen movies only :) 

Thats cool, you should put it here... hope you got it with you :)) 

Will check those places. 

Yep he does :)

Cool :)

Eccentricity, fortunately, did not come into play in his literary endeavors ! But he was eccentric - at least thats what I have come to beleive from whatever I have read of him. I actually worte this long ago to create a colelction of self made translations of his popular work ! Including "Kuil" Paattu .. but didnt go beyond this !

I dont know a place online where the songs and translations are available - there were a few - but they were very selective. There is site run by Tamil University which is into digitising all Tamil literary work. Google it. I have forgotten the URLs. Books, though, are the best in these scenarios !

Bharathi rocks !

Sophiz - absolutely - English doesnt do justice. For that matter any translation from any language to any language doesnt do justice to the original ! But i think these help in creating a curiosity !

one of those wonderful works of Barathi....
does english sound cool?
i personnally feel that english doesnt do proper justice to the song
i feel its best in Tamil!
