Alphabetical index of Philosophical songs of Kannadasan translated by me in to English


Dedicated   to the king of poets  Kannadasan  



Kannadasan  was a great poet of Tamil language  and chose to write lyrics    for songs in Tamil films.   He lived   between 1927 and 1981, Initially he was a   great Atheist    and later  he himself got changed    to a great devotee  of Krishna. All  his song lyrics   had a haunting effect  on the listeners.Even when he  was  an atheist  his   songs  were  thoughtful and  vaguely philosophical . Later when he became  a great devotee of God  , his poems  were   extremely  thoughtful and  pregnant  with philosophy  . AS a big fan of his lyrics .  I have decided   to translate  in to English   some of his philosophical   song lyrics.  I am doing this  so that  even people who speak  languages   different from Tamil  and the  modern youngsters  understand the thought  process   of this great Tamil poet,  My translations are dedicated   to that  giant poet in Tamil.
   All these songs   have been taken by an Android App  on Kannadasan's spiritual songs.I gratefully acknowledge my indebtedness

  3. വളരെ നല്ല ഒരു കാര്യമാണ് ഈ പരിഭാഷ നടത്തിയ വ്യക്തി ചെയ്തിരിക്കുന്നത്. കാരണം മറ്റു ഭാഷകളിലുള്ളവർക്ക് അനായാസം കണ്ണദാസൻ എന്ന മഹാകവിയെയും അദ്ദേഹത്തിൻ്റെ മൂർച്ചയുള്ള കവിതയേയും ആഴത്തിൽ മനസ്സിലാക്കാൻ സാധിച്ചു.പരിഭാഷകന് ആയിരം നന്ദി. എനിക്ക് ഏറ്റവും ഇഷ്ടപ്പെട്ടത് നീങ്കൾ അത്തനൈ പേരും ഉത്തമർ താനാ...... എന്ന കവിതയും അതിൻ്റെ ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് പരിഭാഷയുമാണ്.

  4. Wonderful Rajendran.
    Pls bring another blogspot, giving the links of the songs, (which were mostly sung by TM Soundararajan, TMS of those times, composed by VR), that will enable your blog followers to listen to these soulful songs.
    Ultimate of Kannadasan lyric is the one - "veedu varai uravu, veethi varai manaivi, kaadu varai pillai, kadaisi varai yaaro"
