Vaseegara

Vasikhara yen nejinikae,
Unn ponn madiyil thunginaal pothum,
Athae ganam yen kann uranga,
Mun jenmangalin yekanggal theerum,

I want him (the man) to surrender and enjoy that moment of love. Enjoy its sweetness and not think beyond it.

This is a song from a Tamil Movie called Bombay, which I heard several years back and liked tremendously, sung by play back singer Chitra. At that point I simply searched for the film's music director and discovered the music phenomenon of A R Rahman. Not knowing much of Tamil, I simply used to listen to the music and feel enraptured every time I listened. It took me several more years to discover the gem of this piece of sheer poetry and its author Vairamuthu.
