Title: Pachai Kiligal
Film: Indian
Singer: K J Yesudas
Composer: A.R.Rahman
Lyrics: Vairamuthu

Cover: Dinil S

My maiden upload in Yourlisten. I tried for a better K-track, but was unable to find one. At the start of second charanam the track was skipping for a second making it hard to manage the rhythm. Please excuse the flaws in diction and singing :) Hope you enjoy my try.

Translation of lyrics which I got from net:


Pachchai Kiligal tholodu,
- Green parrots on my shoulders

Paatu kuyilo madiyodu
- Singing cuckoo on my lap

Boologam aanandhaththin ellai
-the world is simply the zenith of joy.

indha, boomikku kanneer sondham illai
-tears simply do not belong to this earth.

Chinnanjiru kootukulla sorgam irukku
-Happines lies within a small nest

ada chinna chinna anbil dhaane jevan innum irukku
-Life still exists only due to those tiny acts of love.

Pattaam poochchi koottathukku pattaa edhukku
-Why do butterflies need pattaas of land?

ada, paasam mattum podhum kannae, kaasu panam ennathukku
-Love is the only thing u need, money and wealth are not necessary.
