Poraale Ponnuthaayi (Karuthamma)- A tribute to Swarnalatha
Poraale Ponnuthaayi (Karuth... Lyrics & Chords
Swarnalatha, a singer par excellence passed away a couple of days ago at the age of 37. Blessed with a very unique tone, abundant versatility and a rich voice, she will be sorely missed in the years to come….
This is my attempt at one song of hers which was tough breathwise, lyrics/emoting wise owing to what the song means… It bagged her the National Award for the Best Female Playback Singer. I have tried to make a k-track myself since the ones I found were quite pathetic. Hopefully it doesn’t sound too bad!
Movie: Karuthamma
Originally rendered by: Swarnalatha
Original music by: A R Rahman
Original Lyrics by: Vairamuthu
Cover version: Meera Manohar
Mixed by: George Kuruvilla
Thanks for taking the time out to mix this, George.
Lyrics:
Poraale ponnu thaayi pola pola vendru kanneer vittu
Thanneerum jorum thantha mannai vittu
Paal paechum maata vittu
Panjaarathu kozhiye vittu
Poraale potta pulle oorai vittu
Saamandhi poova
oomatham poova
Karuthama endha poovamma
Anjaaru seevai ullooril aenga
Pothi maatu vandi maele
poatu vecha mootai pole (Poraale)
Nee vecha paasam
Nee sonna nesam
Kadaisiyil oomayum oomayum
Paesiye paashayadi
Thekuthi kaathu thesai maari veesu
Onnoaana maegham oaduthadi oaduthadi
Usurulle naathu onnu vaaduthadi vaaduthadi
Kadaisiyil saamikku naernthathu saathikku aanathadi (Poraale)
Nenjukuzhi kaanju nedungaalam aachu
Oru uyir veetukkum kaatukkum kootukkum izhukkuthamma
Saemicha kaasu sellaame poachu
Sollaatha solle bhaaram amma bhaaram amma
Soathukkum sonthathukkum dhooramamma dhooramamma
Poru poru aezhaikum vaazhaikum naalaiku nanmayamma (Poraale)

A Befitting Tribute that versatile singer, whom I had the opportunity of meeting while she had come to sing for M.S.Viswanathan Nite some years back !
Great loss has been sustained by the film & music world due to the sad & unexpected demise of Swarnalatha !
You have maintained the original mood of the song !
Hats off !
GOD Bless !
Loving Best Wishes,
