My first proper music video, (Link to Video : http://youtu.be/QPT3uup_pOU), I have had the amazing opportunity to work with the Nightingale of California, Meera Manohar in a re-arragment of the song by Ouseppachan, Andhi Maalai.


The tune of the song is heavily derived from the famous kriti of Saint Thyagaraja, 'Endaro Mahanubhavulu'. Meera and I both love this Thyagaraja swamy krithi and so decided that as our first project, we will do a re-arrangement of the Andhi Maalai song. :-D

The original album was released under A R Rahman's name although he had played only as a keyboardist*. The vocals were by S Janaki in the original version with lyrics by Vairamuthu

Song Lyrics:

Pallavi:

KanmaniyE kAviyamE
Kann variantha oviyamE

Perazhagu dEvadayE
Arputhathil pEr arputhamE

Unnai urukiyE ennai Eendreduthaalakki
Athil neE magizhchi kandAi perumayum kondAi

Stanza:
En than thevaigal, athai muzhuthum nee arivai
En than mounangal, athin arthangal nee purivAi 
Anbin mozhi mattum pEsum unakku veru mozhigal theriyathu
ThAyainum mElAna deivam ulagilE vEronru kidayathu.

Ithu varai neE seitha thyAgangal pothume
Ini nee endan sEye naan undan thaaye

KanmaniyE kAviyamE
KanvalarAi KanvalarAi

aariraaro oraariroo
aariraaro oraariroo

aariraaro oraariroo
mhmmmm.....

English translation:

Pallavi:

Apple of my eye, a true masterpiece (metaphorical)
A stunning painting par excellence (metaphorical)
An angel so immensely beautiful
You are nothing short of a miracle

From my birth, you have endured a lot of pain, all the way
But radiated only happiness and pride every single day

Stanza:

My needs and desires, you know too well
My silent moments, you understand them all
You speak only the language of love, none other
There is no angel greater than you, O Mother!

Enough of all the sacrifices you have made for me so far
It is now my turn to be your mother, O my dear! (Implied)

Apple of my eye, a true masterpiece (metaphorical)
sleep my dear, sleep my dear...
