Kandukondaen Kandukondaen

-
Those wonderful months in Trivandrum. That afternoon at Cochin, the deserted railway station, reading JK, and then in the evening before the train was to arrive...this song. How strong certain associations are, the song is wonderful (though I don't understand one word of the lyrics), even more because of the associated thought process it initiates:


kaNNaamoochchi aenadaa en kaNNaa
kaNNaamoochchi aenadaa en kaNNaa naan kaNNaadip poruL poaladaa (2)
andha nadhiyin karaiyai naan kaettaen andhak kaatRai niRuththiyum kaettaen (2)
vaan veLiyaik kaettaen vidaiyae illai (2)
iRudhiyil unnaik kaNdaen irudhayap poovil kaNdaen (2)
and it goes on....
