Suttum Vizhi ( Kandukondein Kandukondein)

A violin and cello version of AR Rahman's "Raasaathi" from the movie Thiruda Thiruda. There are 6 violin layers and 3 cello layers recorded separately. The accompanying violin layers were recorded on an electric violin but the lead melody was done on an acoustic violin to give it that folksy feel.

Lyrics/Translation:

Vaishnav Jan To, Tene Kahiye Je
Peed Paraaye Jaane Re
Par Dukkhe Upkaar Kare Toye
Man Abhiman Na Anne Re

Vaishnava (devotees of Lord Vishnu) people are those who,
Feel the pain of others,
Help those who are in misery,
But never let ego or conceit enter their mind.

Sakal Lok Maan Sahune Vandhe,
Ninda Na Kare Kainee Re
Baach Kaachh, Man Nischal Raakhe,
Dhan-Dhan Jananee Tainee Re

Vaishnavas, respect the entire world,
Do not censure anyone,
Keep their words, actions and thoughts pure,
The mother of such a soul is blessed.

Van-Lobhi Ne Kapat Rahit Chhe
Kaam-Krodh Nivaarya Re
Bhane Narsaiyyo Tenu Darshan Karta
Kul Ekoter Taarya Re…

Vaishnavas encompasses the absence of greed and deceit,
They have renounced all types of lust and anger,
The author of this poem (Narsi) would be grateful to meet such a soul,
Whose virtue liberates their entire lineage.

Vaishnava Janato

A piano-cello adaptation of the classic Illayaraja number, Kodai Kaala Kaatre from Panneer Pushpangal
