Old Is Gold

Hi all,

I am going to share some of my favourite old Tamil Film Songs.
How much ever I listen to all the new songs, be it either Tamil/ English, I still find that the mesmerizing and good lyrics of the old songs are evergreen and never leaves me. It is something like we go everywhere in this world, but still we never forget our place of birth. It is like that, everlasting and we treasure it forever.

I am going to share Tamil, but others are welcome to share any language songs. It would be great if other language songs are accompanied by translation if possible, for other language people to appreciate it! The following is not only my favourite, is a favourite of another friend. But a real fantastic song! I will share more with time, as the list of my favourites is a very long one!!!



Translation:

Nooru murai piranthaalum nooru murai iranthaalum
Unai pirinthu vegu thooram naan oru naalum povathillai
Ulagaththin kanngalile uruvangal marainthaalum
Ondraana ullangal orunaalum maraivathillai

Even if I’m born a hundred times, and die a hundred times,
I am not away from you for even a day
Even if in the eyes of the world I have no form,
The souls which have become one, never fade away

Orayiram paarvaiyile
Un paarvaiyai naanariven
Un kaaladi osaiyile
Un kaadhalai naan ariven
Orayiram paarvaiyile
Un paarvaiyai naanariven

In a thousand looks
I will know your look
From the sound of your footsteps
I will know your love
In a thousand looks
I will know your look

Indha maanidar kadhalellam
Oru maranaththil maarividum
Andha malargalin vaasamellam
Oru maalaikkul vaadividum
Nam kaadhalin dheepam mattum
Endha naalilum kooda varum

(Orayiram paarvaiyile)

All this mortal love
Will change with death
The fragrance of their flowers
Will fade and wilt in one evening
The lamp flame of our love alone
Will follow in all days

Indha kaatrinil naan kalandhen
Un kangalaith thazhuvuginren
Indha aatrinil oaduginren
Un aadayil aaduginren
Naan pogindra paadhaiyellaam
Un poomugam kaanuginren

(Orayiram paarvaiyile)

I mixed with this wind
I caress and embrace your eyes
I run with this river
I’m dancing within your apparel
In every path I walk on
I see your flower like face
