Old is Gold- Naan MaanthOppil with Sukumar Rajendran

Old is Gold- Naan MaanthOpp... Lyrics & Chords

I was a very small girl when I first heard L.R.Eashwari perform this song live on stage. Since then, I have had the irrepressible desire to sing this song when I get the chance. Thanks to Sukumar for initiating this fabulous concept of “Old is Gold”- I am so privileged to contribute to it with this song for starts :)

LRE’s voice is inimitable with a distinct style which is hard to copy. But I have tried to sing with as jubiliant a mood as possible. I have tried to manage with the hoarse voice that I have at the moment – hope it doesn’t mar the beauty of the song :P

There is also one other huge reason for choosing this song- Sukumar himself! :) This song, I believe, is made for him!!! It is to be sung with the “nakkal nayyaandi” that TMS so efficiently brings out in songs of similar genre and Sukumar has nailed it in this one! My most favourite part is “SODikkuyil paaDuratha sollaama solli” which to this day I have not heard any singer sing with the same perfection as TMS has- I think Sukumar comes very close to it here :)

I am so looking forward to singing more oldies for the season! Please do leave your comments and suggestions on this one. And thanks for listening! :)

Movie: Enga Veettu Pillai (1965)
Music: Vishwanathan Ramamurthy
Originally sung by: TM Soundararajan, LREaswari
Mixing: Sukumar

When I listen to this song I thought the OIG has not enough time. few more days to finish. :(
Hope it last for 2 more months so that every one could listen to fabulous numbers like this.
Awesome singing by both of you.
Loved it akka and suku.

Suku ippo thaan puriyuthu, puli padhunkiradhu paayurathukkunnu. If I knew that you were busy in this song upload I would have not said “Over kadal udambukku aavadhunnu” :P ROFL

Sukumar and Adithi, excellent choice and excellent singing.

Suku, TMS pAttu romba nallA pAdiyirukkeenga that too with nice sangathis and little improvisations as well.

Adithi, LR Eswari voice is a little difficult to mimic but you’ve done a great job especially the ohohOy parts were the signature parts that you’ve done very well.

You always make a lovely singing pair and I am tired of saying this time and again… :-)

Suku!!! I was really worried on seeing your lukewarmish attitude you had, towards singing… But I am on cloud 9 after seeing the way this ‘OLD IS GOLD’ season is getting celebrated here… Nice initiative and I am happy that I could contribute to it as well… And should I say anything new about ur singing?? Konjam sincerity irunthuthunnaa, ………………… vaera ethuvum solrathukku illai… Nee ozhungaannu kaetkarathu enakku puriyuthu… :P Advices mattum thaan sir manasaara dharmam paNNa mudiyum… Unga energy, attitude, nakkal/naiyaandi ellaam perfect for this number… Ayyo!!! Thaangala da saami… KalakkaraeL sir!!! Keep up the good work…

Adithi!!! Welcome aboard and glad that this cover version is getting contributed for the season… And valiant attempt to imitate LRE in all aspects… This was pretty enjoyable in ur voice and I should say, both of your voices were competent with each other… Modulations were awesome and the hoarseness peeps out at few places… Overall an awesome package to start the proceedings… Keep flooding with Golden oldies… All the best…
Thanks & Regards,

Sukku, you’ve done a good job too. Both of you brought maandhoppu right in front. Kudos for all the effort that went into the song.
