Dear friends on the Tamil forum of HF,

I have been on HF for the last couple of months. I do not understand even a bit of Tamil , my mother tongue is Konkani.I sometimes watch the movie songs on Sun TV and other Tamil channels and I like many of those songs. I do not understand the wordings but can certainly appreciate the music as it has no language barrier.

I have been wanting to listen to a particular duet song. It is most probably sung by S. P. Balasubramaniam and I am not aware of the female singer. The wordings which I can gather after careful listening are..

Oru vanda ratu vandaman veerama.... (Please pardon me if I have murdered the meaning of the song).

From the net, I found that the male actor in the song is Kaarthik. That's all the info I can give.

Can anyone please identify this song and upload it ?

Many thanks in advance.

Paresh

Could you please supply the link on the net. The words dont seem to make any sense Paresh ji.

Thanks Nimiiji for your response. I had seen this song on the Tamil Channel Sun TV. I identified the actor by from his pics on some Tamil movies site. It is a very melodious song . The tune is all there in my mind but the wordings ????. It looks like a dream sequence song wherein the actor and actress are shown to be a king and queen doing romance in a beautiful countyside setting and I remember the song ends with the camera on a hen(or may be a cock).The actress looks beautiful but is a bit plump.

Thanks once again.

Paresh

Paresh ji -



Is she the actress? Meena? Also you mention that you got the info that the actor is Karthik. Could you plz forward the link. I can take on my search from there

Thanks again Nimiiji for your response and that beautiful pic. I know this actress from the beautiful Kannada song "Priya Priya " with Vishnu Vardhan. Unfortunately, she is not the one in the song I am looking for. I am sending you a PM regarding this. I think you will be able to identify it for me after you read the PM.
I used the net only to identify the actor, I don't have any song link.

Thanks indeed.
Paresh.

Paresh ji! Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee got the song Melleeeeeeeeeey pada melleyyyyyyyyyyyyy (in konkani)

It is from the movie Chinna Zameen - actress is Vinitha with Karthik.

It is

Oru mandharapoo vandha mandhiraamaa oaaooo

sugamaaga veesum sayangaala velayil

Oru mandharapoo vandha mandhiraamaa oaaooo

Thank you thank you thank you thank you .........goes to infinity. I am overwhelmed with joy!!!!!!
I found yet another amazingly great music lover on HF. Pleasantly surprised for the Konkani expression too! Any connection with Goa or Mangalore ?

The audio quality is fine for me.
THANK YOU NIMIIJI . You made my day. Is there a way to get a translation anywhere on the net?
AND Hats off to Illayaraja!!!!

A highly obliged friend,
Paresh

Hain! I am a GSB from Mangalore but born and brought up in pyara Chennai now dwellin in the cap city of Karnataka pradesham



Should be done in a day or two Paresh ji.

Nimii Ji,
Pardon me but I couldn't find the translation of the song i requested.
Could you please help me ..again?

NASIR.

Thanks again Nimiiji . You have a big heart. Nice to know you are connected to me by the common mother tongue.Please take your time for the translation, no hurry at all.

Paresh (if you dont mind my dropping that ji, and hope you too would!). I must actually thank you for it, for if it wasnt for your search for this song, which I cant even remember tho' I have seen the movie long long ago, I dont think I would have been exposed to it.

The thrill of locating an unknown evading song with very little cue is very very satiating to a quest-ing mind.

Thanks again pal for giving me a chance to know yet another great song scored by Illayaraja - my fav MD

Yes indeed Nimii.(no "ji" anymore). I am very very happy to have a pal like you. The orchestration of that song is so beautiful, it drives me mad!! Your words have added to my pleasure indeed.Joy gets multiplied manyfold when shared.

It is mutual indeed Paresh! I am still on the lookout for that song by Suresh Wadkar and Hemalata, the clip of which you had u/l on another thread! It has to be from one of the Rajshri films releases. That one has been really very elusive!

Thank you for being so supportive regarding my hunt for lost songs. That one by Suresh Wadkar and Hemlata is eluding me for so many years, but I am very hopeful that one of these days it will be found. The problem is I am totally clueless except that it has the typical RJ imprint on it.In the meanwhile, I got the following list of movies with RJ as MD from another site.

It is indeed difficult to find the song from so many. But let us continue our efforts.
Thanks once again.
Paresh

Thanks for the list I will note them down and when I am on my jaunts to the music shop, will keep an eye. My vcd waala has started keeping original (darr ke maare after a few shops were raided recently in the city) and he has put some old movies on the shelf. I managed to make a list of those and now need to go thru them as what songs could be in them. It would save me hassle of buying movie vcds juz for songs bechare ka dandha bhi chaupat nahi hoga and I wont have junk piling at home

You are most welcome. I am damn sure now we will make it to that mystery song.
Cheers.
Paresh

Paresh here are the lyrics and the translations as promised.

Spb:Oru mandharapoo vandha mandhiraamaa oaaooo
When flower (like hibiscus) arrives is it magical?
ava mutham onnu thandha thandhiramaa
If she kisses is that a trick?
chitra: Oru mandharapoo vandha mandhiraa oaaooo
One flower (like hibiscus) when arrives is it magical?
ava mutham onnu thandha thandhiramaa
If she kisses is that a trick?
Spb:malayooram maandhopu
A mango grove near the hills
maandhopil poongathu
Soft breeze in the mango grove
sugamaaga veesum sayangaala velayil
When it blows pleasantly during the evening hours

Chitra:Oru mandharapoo vandha mandhiraamaa oaaooo
One flower (like hibiscus) when arrives is it magical?
ava mutham onnu thandha thandhiramaa
If she kisses is that a trick?

Chitra: Nitham nitham naan kulikum manjaluku
When I bathe everyday
unna vita yarumilla kaavaluku
No one is there to guard except you
Spb:nenjukulle unna vachein badhiraamaa
I keep you safely in my heart
naan rasika theetivacha chithiramaa
I sketched you into a picture for my pleasure
Chitra: unnala rathiri thookam keatu poguthu
I have lost my sleep because of you
Spb:othayila thoonginaa enn odambu novudhu
When I sleep alone my body aches

Chitra:onna vitu anju nimisham ennal vaazha aavadhu
I cannot live without you for more than 5 mins

Spb:Oru mandharapoo vandha mandhiraamaa oaaooo
One flower (like hibiscus) when arrives is it magical?
ava mutham onnu thandha thandhiramaa
If she kisses is that a trick?
chitra:malayooram maandhopu
A mango grove near the hills
maandhopil poongathu
Soft breeze in the mango grove
sugamaaga veesum sayangaala velayil
When it blows pleasantly during the evening hours
Spb:Oru mandharapoo vandha mandhiraa oaaooo
One flower (like hibiscus) when arrives is it magical?
ava mutham onnu thandha thandhiramaa
If she kisses is that a trick?

Spb:vethalaye paaku vachu naan kodupein
I will give you the betelnut placed in a betel leaves
nee suvachu micham meedhi naan edupein
After you taste a bit of it I would eat the rest
Chitra:sembeduthu paal nirapi naan kodupein
I will fill a cup of milk and give you
nee kudicha micham meedhi naan kudipein
After you drink I will drink the leftover milk (from the same cup)
Spb:onnaaga serndhu than chandhirana paakanum
Together we should watch the moon
Chitra:unndaana yeakatha rendu perum theerkanum
We should together fulfil the yearnings that have grown
Spb:nalliravil naama kalandha kozhi koova koodadhu
In the dark of the night when we become one with another, the morning should arrive (this is put symbolically that the cock should not crow - sounds gross tho')

Chitra:Oru mandharapoo vandha mandhiraamaa oaaooo
One flower (like hibiscus) when arrives is it magical?
ava mutham onnu thandha thandhiramaa
If she kisses is that a trick?
Spb:malayooram maandhopu
A mango grove near the hills
maandhopil poongathu

Spb:ava mutham onnu thandha thandhiramaa
If she kisses is that a trick?

Very beautifully translated indeed Nimi!! A million thanks to you. Now I can enjoy this melody even more, the poetry is truly romantic. Great job!

Paresh you are welcome. There is a slight correction.
