I scanned the list of advices, I could not fit this into any listed category. Still, this one was near and instead of adding one more to the long list, I have placed it here. Kindly assume the category should read – five best love songs.
Considering that if you sing ‘Rajaavin paarvai raniyin pakkam’(a song in black and white days) to your girlfriend, there might be a divorce even before marriage:); I choose to select 5 contemporary songs. Also, given my limited knowledge in other language songs, all the 5 songs are Tamil songs. If you don’t understand Tamil, you would still want to check the lyrics(which I have translated into English , kindly tolerate me!). I have considered all kinds of songs – songs for sharing love, passion, excitement, longing and any other thing that would be associated with love.
So without more nonsense let me get onto my list in the countdown mode.
5 … Nilavai kondu vaa
Lyrics: Vali
Movie: Vaalee
Singers: Unnikrishnan, Anuradha sriram
Both the movie and the song appear to me as the epitome of passion. The lyric says it all. Deva(as usual) might have copied the tune from somewhere, but the way he has adapted it is just brilliant.
- Starting lines: Bring the moon; Tie it on the cot; Bring the clouds; Make that the bed
Lock the scorching sun under the sea; Make indiran the watchman to ensure night stays longer
When to sing: Anytime. But just make sure you sing this only to your beloved. Otherwise, a slap on face assured 100%.
4 … Unperai Sonnaley
- Music: Karthik Raja(son of Illayaraja)
Lyrics: <>
Movie: Dum Dum Dum
Singers: Unnikrishnan, Sadhana Sargam
The pleasant music will take you to a different world. A melodious song that expresses the love a couple has for each other, but are unable to confess.
- Knock-out line: Like a baby, who touches the fire knowing that it would hurt the finger, I think of you again and again
When to sing: When you would want to confess your love. But if you do not have the voice of Unnikrishnan, it would be better that you just write the lyrics as poem and pass it. That would be a safety alternative.
3 … Kaadhal Rojavey
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Movie: Roja
Singers: S.P. Balasubramaniam, Sujatha
A song from the movie that was a trendsetter for music. The husband is away from his newly-wed wife, the terrorists having kidnapped him. His love for her makes his longing most intensive and is there a better way to express that than this song?
- Knock-out line: What do I kiss? The thorns?
When to sing: When you are away from your lover, you might automatically sing this song. No, you don’t have to be as smart as Aravindswamy, if your partner is as beautiful as madhubala that should do(She is always a madhubala in your eyes rite?)
2 … Vizhigalin aruginil vaanam
Lyrics: <>
Movie: Azhagiya Theeyey
Singers: Ramesh Vinayagam
Can you ever convey you are in love without using the word love? This song has that special ability. There is nowhere in the song you can find the word LOVE. Instead, the song just expresses the feeling of a person who has just realized he is in love. Backed by wonderful melodious music and sung by the composer himself, this one makes me melt every time I hear.
- Knock-out line: Does the heart beat? Or just acts as though it beats?
When to sing: When you have realized you are in love. Or just hear the song, it might make you understand you are/were in love. Then you can start singing …
1 … Mottu onru malarndhida marukkum
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Movie: Kushi
Singers: Hariharan, Sadhana Sargam
You could rate this number one simply for its https://lyrics. So with good music, the choice was unanimous for me. The situation – the lovers understand that they are in love, but their ego stops them from confessing. 200/100 marks for Vairamuthu for his wordings to express this situation. There was a remake of this movie in hindi too, starring fardeen khan and kareena.
- Knock-out line: Love is like seed; Silence is like sand; Will the roots of the seed not break the sand?!
When to sing: When that small fight ended up in a big quarrel. Listen to this song and gift this song as well, it could save you from your lover smashing your nose in the fight.
Add these songs to your play list. You will fall in love with these songs.
