Maalai Mangum ( Cover Version )- Rowthiram

Maalai Mangum ( Cover Versi... Lyrics & Chords

Recording a full fledged cover after a very long time. For a change, here’s a currently popular one from the movie Rowthiram. As always, improvised and added stuff here and there…

Kamesh passed on a vocal cut track to me, and I have tried to rearrange it here and there, hoping to get a decent sounding backing support.

And, I am still in the process of catching up on months and months of uploads from all of you. I was just a little active last week, and then got bogged down again! So, thanks for all the messages and scribbles. Hope to be more regular henceforth!

Quite a number of you (in and out of Muziboo and FB) )had requested this song of me. So this goes out to all of you. Thanks for the suggestion and hope you enjoy it!

Movie: Rowthiram
Music by: Prakash Nikki
Originally sung by: Ranaina Reddy
Original lyrics by: Thaamarai
Cover version (Lead, harmonies and backing vocals): Meera

Lyrics:

Maalai Mangum Naeram, Oru Mogam Kannin Oram
Unai Paarthu Kondae Nindralum, Pothum Endru Thaondrum…
Kaalai Vanthaal Enna, Veyil Etti Paarthaal Enna
Kadikaaram Kaatum Naeram, Athai Nambamaataen Naanum…

Poongaatrum Poarvai Kaetkum Neram Neram
Theeyaai Maarum Thaegam Thaegam
Un Kaigal Ennai Thottu Podum Kolam
Vaazhvin Ellai Thaedum Thaedum ( Maalai )

Oru Veetil Naam Irunthu, Oar Elaiyil Nam Virunthu
Iru Thookam Oru Kanavil, Moozhgi Vaazhkai Thodangum…
Naan Samaiyal Seithiduvaen… Nee Vanthu Anaithiduvaai…
En Pasiyum Un Pasiyum, Saernthu Ondrai Adangum…
Naan Kaettu Aasai Patta Paadal Nooru
Neeyum Naanum Sernthey Kaetpøam
Thaalattai Kannil Šønna Aanum Neethan
Kaalam Vaedum Thaandi Vaazhvøam… (Maalai)

Paal Šinthum Pøurnamiyil, Naam Nanaivøam Pani Iravil,
Nam Møøchin Kaichalil, Meendum Paniyum Nadungum…
Veedengum Un Pørutkal, Aasainthaadum Un Udaigal,
Thaniyaga Naanillai Èndrae Šølli Šinu ngum…
Theendaamal Theendi Pøgum Vaadai Kaatrae…
Thøøkam Theernthu Naatkal Aachae…
Un Vaasam Ènnil Køttum Aadi Pønaen
Vaasal Thøønthaan Naanum Aanen… ( Maalai )

Dear Meeraji,

Of course the outcome of the cover version of this song is better than the original song. Am happy that I could able to get a VC track for this song (Ramarku Anil udhavinathupol!:P)

The stress which you gave in some places was nice and your voice is very apt to this type of slow, husky songs. Feel factor was awesome. Enjoyed each and every bit.

All I can say is this cover version is the bestest till date. To my all time Favs list:)…Thanks once again for accepting my request and fulfilling it!…Tc

Thanks & Regards
Kameshwaran Sevugan
Music = My Life, Hope it is the same for you too:)

Love you friends forever:)

Meera, one reason i dont miss your cover is that when you try to render any song you try to do your best and to that you add your singing skills/talent to make it better than it is….

loved your husky vocals, lovely expressions and smooth flow which dragged me in though i did not hear the original (sorry abt it) but this is much better than original for me…

great stuff Meera… keep them comming

Meera, another stunning rendition. I have not heard the original, but this sounded too good.
The contralto voice was amazing and blended so well with the harmony and I loved the husky parts :) It was such a wonderful treat to listen to. Overall voice level was low, felt it could be a tad bit higher. A lovely tune indeed….and was complemented by your mesmerizing voice and singing. To my favs….

Super stuff Meera. Hearing this song for the very first time. Harris song maadhiri irukku tune. Your voice was apt. Harmony/Backing ellaam kaekkavae vaendaam. You’re a queen in that.
Lead voice volume dhaan innum konjam yaethi irukkalaamo. May be the song needed a very husky effect all through. keep covering more songs.

Meera, Nicely sung. Not having heard the original, I love the way you have brought out the dusky beauty of the song with husky modulations given its limited tonal range.

Its a good change of genre from the other good ones I have heard from you. However, I’d dare to say, the song and its tune does not do justice to your talent though, IMO.

Dear Meera Manoharji
Sorry to come here really late. You are awesome in all your renditions. I love your voice. It has got that husky touch. I cannt understand though, the melody is enough for me to love any song in that case. Loved it:):)
