Thenpandi Cheemaiyile - Nay... Lyrics & Chords

Movie: Nayagan
Music: Ilayaraaja
Singers (Org) : Ilayaraaja, Kamalahassan

Hello again !

Felt like recording a song after a long time. Looking to do something different but in the meantime something struck me and thats when i decided to do this. Thanks to rahul kurunjiyar for the track. Happy new year to all.

This movie put tamil cinema onto the world map. I think the only time when big heads came together and lived upto their hype and expectations in tamil cinema. Music binds the movie and who else it would be ? The magical Raja Sir again !

The climax when Kamal dies with flies around his body and everybody around crying ! Music starts and then in the next 3 minutes some of the best frames of kamalhassan the legend himself in the movie for a quick summary ! Kamala paratratha ? Raja va paratratha ? Manirathnama paaratratha ne theriyathu ! Kudos. A small tribute to the trio !

Very nicely done.
in the first part where there is no music….there was a little too much echo/delay added to ur voice.

Inda paattai yaarum vittu vekka poaradu illayaa? LOL!!!

Balaji, appdi thalaivar maadiri irundudu anganga (namma Kamal thaan!)…. Semma semma feel! Jokes apart, you have a very unique voice that is capable of singing challenging numbers….let’s discuss offline and come up with a wishlist ;)

Loved the nuances in most places (starting humming pattri no comments! Enakku original-liye adu avvalavaa rasikkadu!:P). Loved the way you started “Valarum” and “aLudaa” the second time….

Ofcourse, favourited, kanna! :)

Subbu said

Balaji,outstanding…….some of IR’S alapanas are very difficult even as they sound innocuous,this being one them…….you have come out tops in IR portions including ‘manaszu’:),and Kamal portions are well done too……really very well done over all…….you should attempt Naan thedum Sevvanthi poovidhu including the initial alapanai…….that should be a treat …….

But please do a better recording/mixing next time around…….take some one’s help here……LIKED

Subbu.

Adadaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! Balajiya kokkaa!!!!!!!!

Orey peelings of Villivakkam thaan po. Kalakkal pick. Track konjam disturbing ah irukku. Ur tonal quality and texture is unique. ‘a(l)zhuthaa’ is abs fantastic. Covered all the details of this song. Hats off. Uchcharippu was commendable. Nerla meet pannumbothu treat undu thaaney enakku???;-) Lol. Just kidded. ‘Valarum pirayey…….thaangathey’ – u brought out Kamal’s touch. Was little upset and my mood was fleeting with an ebb in my spirit. But listened to this song now and feel somewhat relieved. An artiste gets the true reward only when his works could please a common man who doesn’t have any prejudice comparison or preset ideas. Am happy now. Smiling as if u have sung it for me. Thanks. Keep practising. Develop fellowship and hone your skills.

Thnks all for your nice words.

@Vishak, Thx vishak. Yes wanted to somehow differentiate IR & Kamal ji, not a master of mixing techniques myself as pointed out :D …

@Thala Brga, Thanks unakku than. Nee neraiya thadava pada solli naan paadi nee atha porumaiya kettathuku :D dedicate panra alavuku naan periya singer lam illa irunthalum en rangeku this is for my dear friend Braga !

@Tara, Thanks Tara. For this song feel comes without your knowledge ! Enakke vandhurku na power of the composer :D

@Adithi Ka, Vango ka, thanks a bunch. Hail Thalaivar ! Sooper, neenga sonna maruppena. Definetly will love to discuss it offline ! Lets have it after the producers meeting for “our movie” [:P] LOL …. Oru per vekkanam first namma padathuku.

@Subbu, Thanks a million ! for pointing the places where i tried to differentiate IR and Kamal. Loved it to see comments from a saga IR die-hard. Sure Naan Thedum Sevanthi poo is my all time IR favorite. Will try that kandippa. Mixing/Recording :(, recording i got good equipment, but atha use panra aal than konjam seri illa :D. Will get help.

@Deeps, Thanks a bunch Deeps. Am thrilled. Antha 1.25 vandhu actual song leye it is supposed end abruptly. But i know antha abrupt ke abrupt a mudichurken nu nenaikaren :D

@Raj, Thanks a lot na for pointing out good things in detail. Appreciate it ! Treat thana kandippa undu ungalukku. Unga treat ana innum neraiya bakki irukku ! First athu mudichutu appram ennoda treat ! good to know my rendition had the calming effect (hard to believe though) and I dedicate this song to dear friend braga and Raj Anna. Thanks a bunch again.

@Ramya, Thanks a lot Ramya. Keep giving your honest f/b and glad to know the mood was there.
Cheers,

Very well sung Balaji. Feel in your voice is super especially after the music starts. Felt the initial part could be better from a feel and modulation standpoint.
