Sambhala Hai Maine

Excellent lyrics, beautiful voice, perfect whistling makes this song really a treat to listen

sambhaalaa hai maine bahut apne dil ko,
zubaan par teraa fir bhee naam aa rahaa hai
jahaa raaz ko chhupaayaa naa jaaye,
mohabbat mein aisa makaam aa rahaa hai

banaayaa hain maine tujhe apanaa saathee,
rahe kis tarah fir mere hosh baakee

nazar yun bahakane lagee hai ki jaise,
mere saamne koee jaam aa rahaa hai

ye Zulfon ke baadal ghanere, ghanere,
mere baajooon par jo too ne bikhere

mai samjha ki jaise meree dhadakanon ko,
teree dhadakanon kaa payaam aa rahaa hai

Muthukkalo kangal

One of my favorite old songs

Muthukkalo kangal - nenjirukkum varai

Highlights

Beautiful usage of Sitar
Mellifluous voice of P.Susheela
Amazing lyrics of kannadhasan
simplicity of the video



In the first para, lyrics like thenral thaalatta, kaalai neeratta
have been sung with so much bhava it really gives a lullaby effect

kannip pennai mella mella thenral thaalaatta
kadalin alaigal oadivandhu kaalai neeraatta
ezhundha inbam enna en ennam aengum aekkam enna
virundhu kaetpadhenna adhaiyum viraindhu kaetpadhenna

KANDA NAAL MUDHALAI - MADHUVANTI

The Mesmerizing Raaga Madhuvanti can be aptly
compared to dance of peacock - Mayura natanam

Transcending listeners to fantasy world of
happiness, tranquility and Nirvana.

My Favorite Lines

Neela mayil thanaai nenjamum marakka villai
Nesamudan Kalantha Pasamum Maraya villai

Kola Kumaran Mana Koyinil nirainthu vitaaan
Kuru nagai thanai kaati naru malar sooti vitaan
