#Bharathiyar kavithai in english license

Beautiful, i only wish there was a longer and complete version for people like me. She unfortunately skipped a couple of verses (3rd and 5th), i guess to keep it short and grasp attention of today's music aficionados. More importantly her pronunciation of Thamizh words are also perfect. Well, Suchi has done an excellent job, keeping it simple, and allowing the words to express its emotions and warmth, without overpowering music or using those puristic banal tones. But there are always these egocentric uncles and aunties, who wont allow any freedom.

The purists dont like her rendition, as is noted by a few on the comments. There were other renditions that attempted to fuse new music, or rendered in traditional carnatic style. The youtube video below of Suchi is the best i found.

The english means as usual are mine, using my poetic license and ability to choose the most appropriate words to bring the best of the emotion and love associated with the poem. These lyrics below are also thanks to many people on the internet. Thats when i came across the story behind the song. After playing it on loop for sometime, i had find more on the lyrics, meanings. Bharathi words, or maybe because heard a few other poems, are relatively easy to grasp and understand. This rendition by Suchitra quickly caught my fancy. I came across this song on youtube quite by accident while i was still recovering from my Covid-19 attack. Allowing the listener to apply the meaning appropriately. However he played with words, specially using the term Kannan to allow dual references. This poem is written apparently lamenting the loss of a picture of his mother, the only one had (as per numerous sites and references on the web). But this term therefore also equally applies to that special someone in your life that you love or are fond of. Numerous stories that glorify these acts. A direct reference to Lord Krishna, who affectionately called as Kannan, specially manifesting as the naughty child constantly upto some mischief. Kannan is an interesting term that used in Thamizh culture. So many of his poems are written with a passion for Kannan. 'Aasai Mugam Marandhu Pochae' is poem written by Subramania Bharathi, or simply referred fondly as Bharathi or formally with his title as 'Maha Kavi' Bharathiyar.
