Thumbi Vaa (Cover) - "Gum Sum - Paa"

Thumbi Vaa (Cover) - "Gum S... Lyrics & Chords

Song: Thumbi Vaa
Movie: Olangal (1982)-Malayalam
Music: Ilayaraja
Lyrics: ONV Kurup
Singer: S. Janaki
Raagam : Kaapi

Hi Friends
It’s been a while since I posted a song here. I have not been very active on Muziboo for the last few weeks. I was down with a terrible cold, cough and everything that goes with it; ‘thanks’ to the Wisconsin winter.

Anyway, I thought I must post a song since its the first day of the New Year. This song is a very famous and melodious piece composed by the Maestro Ilayaraja.

This song was suggested by a few friends of mine, so I decided to cover it. I am covering a song sung by S. Janaki after a really long time. Hope you all like this rendition. Do let me know your comments.

In the original song, the ending has a cute bit where a child joins in to complete the rendition with laughter. I mimicked a child to include that bit. :-) Hope it doesnt sound too bad.

In a couple of days, I am leaving for India!!! I won’t be able to record songs there as my recording gear is here in Wisconsin. But, I will try and log in to Muziboo to listen to all of you :)

Hope you all have a wonderful and joyful New Year !!! I am looking forward to more & more beautiful songs from all of you as well as hoping to see many more talented artists.

Rashmi,
HAPPY NEW YEAR AND BON VOYAGE TO INDIA!
Will miss your new songs:( Hope you willl bounce back with more songs soon :D
What a composition by IR! He has composed the same tune in tamil as a romantic duet song. With the same tune he has changed the mood of the song.Its great to listen to both the versions.
You have sung this Janaki’s song with ease!!
Effortlessly beautiful singing.
Ending was really nice!
Very welldone
Cheers,

Rashmi!
After a most hated hibernation, u are back with a master-piece composition from IR. Brilliantly rendered. Expressions were good as usual. You are really rocking with ur mixing mastery. Thanks to George.(as u have told it in ur previous post). Nice flow. And a remarkable attempt mimicing a child’s laughter towards the end. Hats off. Its really shocking that you wouldn’t be able to record songs. However am really happy that u would be available in India. Welcome back. Hope we would all meet up soon.

Thanks & Regards,
RAJ

Wonderful Rashmi. My kids love this song especially after they remade this in Hindi in ‘Paa’. It used to be my favorite as a child too.
Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year to all.

Brilliant Rashmi. You have done a real justice to this brilliant compositions of IR. You have almost brought out the huskiness of SJ’s style. IR has used this tune even in Hindi movie “Paa” on film director’s insistence. Liked it.

We will meet in Bangalore, may be by end of Jan. for a musical meet.

cheers,
Venkat

HI
It’s an extra ordinary composition by Ilayaraja
U’ve sung it well.
But obviously u coundn’t match the expression of Janakiyamma…… I think nobody can
Technically u are gone out in the humming portion between pallavi and first charanam……Also the oonjale(high pitch potion)…… falters. Subtle sangathees are not sung to the perfection

wow wonderful, i loved it .i know this ,Janaki ji song ,is favourited in every malyali’s heart,as so in telugu’s heart as “AAKASAM ENATIDO….” ,but this song in telugu ,i feel is bit faster pace and tone is high compared to tamil,hindi malyalam versions.but i loved the tamil version"SANGATHIL PAADATH……" due to the male voice , so good .(i desperately want to learn&practce the song but i need to know the meaning in tamil).but ultimately female voice wins.
