‘en mEl vizhundha mazhaithuLiye" - A Lyrical Analysis
First love. The situation is beaten to death by our lyricists. Numerous songs have been written, sung and forgotten. But there are few that will ever live in our memories. ‘en mel vizhundha mazhaithuLiye’ is one such song. This soft melodious romantic duet features excellent lines Vairamuthu has ever written in his carrier.

The very first line captures our attention
‘en mel vizhundha mazhaithuLiye ithanai naaLai engirundhaai’
I’m sure all of us, at one point of time in our life, would have wondered where,how and when an affection, love sprouted out. It need not have to be romantic love, it could very well be a friendship that blossomed suddenly or talent you thought you never had and there is no poetically better way to express them.
The poet continues
Indru ezhudhiya en kaviye ithanai naaLai engirundhaai
Ennai ezhuppiya poongaatre ithanai naaLai engirundhaai
Ennai mayakkiya mellisaiye ithanai naaLai engirundhaai
The proclamation progresses with each line. But then apt comes the reply
Udambil uraigindra oaruyir pol unakkuLthaane naan irundhen
Don’t look around you fool. Look within yourself, it’s always been within you, inside you. Its only today you realized its presence.
The lines are equally philosophical as it is romantic
The charanam explains this concept in detail
Mannai thirandhaal neer irukkum
En manadhai thirandhaal nee iruppai
Oliyai thirandhaal isai irukkum
En uyirai thirandhaal nee iruppai
‘olikuL isai pol ennuL nee’ - Never heard or read this uvamai before. Makes one to ask
‘indru ezhudhiye Vairamuthe ithanai naaLai engirundheer’?
Vaanam thriandhaal mazhai irukkum
En vayadhai thriandhaal nee iruppai
You will buried in the pages of my history..no I correct that . You will be my history
Iravai thirandhaal pagal irukkum
En imaiyai thirandhaal nee iruppai
Ilaiyum malarum urasugaiyil
Enne baasahi pesidumo
Alaiyum karaiyum urasugaiyil
Enne baashai pesidumo
Mannum vinnum urasugaiyil
Enne baashai pesidumo
Paarvai irandum pesikondaal
Baashai oomaiyaividumo
Last few remaining lines are not as outstanding but they aren’t bad either.
Listen to 'en mEl vizhuntha' (http://forumhub.mayyam.com/cgi-bin/stream.pl?url=http://forumhub.mayyam.com/tfmmagazine/sep05/enmelvizhuntha.rm).
When I first listened to the song I felt like asking
emmai mayakkiye rahmane ithanai naaLai engirundhaai
After listening to few of ARR’s latest albums I feel like asking
emmai mayakkiye rahmane enge tholaindhu poivittai
