Best Lyrics from the 80's, when Tamil Lived Really High.

Best lyricist ever lived in 80’s in Tamil music industry. The songs were superb in both music and lyrics. However, you need a passion to dwell in them. When you do, you will start associating them with your life. Music is magical, good lyrics adds spice to it. These are lyrics with their meaning from my perception. The lyrics are indirect, so they can actually mean anything. Depends on how you perceive it. These songs are very meaningful for me as it reminds me of many things. Anyway, if you have different perception, you are most welcomed to share with me.
1. Enna Sattham Intha Neram
Kannathin Muthathin Eeram Athu Kaiyevillaiye
Kangalin Yen Anthe Kanneer? Athu Yaarale?
Kanniyin Kazhuthey Parthal Maanam Aagevillaiye

Mannavane Un Vizhiyal Penn Vizhiyei Moodu
Atharava Sainthuvittal Aariraro Paadu
Aariraro Ivar Yaar Evaro

Song Theme: Unpredictable life
Meaning:
1. We meet many choices in our lives; sometimes it’s hard to make decision on which one is the best. This happens even in somebody’s love life till some forget love isn’t much about choosing. Again we are human beings.
3. Keladi Kanmani
Neengathe Baram En Nenje Oduthan,
Naan Thedum Sumaithanggi Nee Allava,
Naan Vadum Neram Un Marvoduthan,
Nee Ennai Thalathum Thaay Allava.
Yetho Yetho Annanthe Raagam

Thukkam Sila Neram Pongi Varum Pothum
Makkal Manam Pole Paduven Kanne
En Sogam Ennoduthan…

9. Eeramane Rojaveh

  1. I love the Keladi Kanmani song, hats-off to the lyricist, singer and the musician. Very well written article and I truly believe Tamil music's best years were the 80s when Ilayaraja, SPB, Yesudas, etc were at the peak of their careers.

  2. I love raja raja sozhan naaan and enna saththam intha neram.the first song i said, for most of the people dont understand the lyrics but that doesnt matter coz melody is stronger than lyrics and Yesudhas voice is the best forever.and the second one always makes me calm and enjoying ilayaraja music
