Songs with a word-chain connecting each line

Topic started by Udhaya (@ 205.218.142.217) on Fri May 15 17:44:38 EDT 1998.
All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

I am very eager to find all the songs whose second line begins with the last word of the first line. For example, "Vasantha Kaala Nadhigalilae Vairamani Neeralaigal" is the first line. The second line continues, "Neeralaigal Meethinilae Nenjirandin Ninaivalaigal" and on and on to make a tantalizing word-chain. Kannadhasan did this in a few songs that I remember, are there any more . . .

  "Aadi Velli Thedi Unnei Naanadaintha Neram...."
  sung by Jayachandran in an old movie (MGR?) has every line starting with the last word of the previous line.

  Adi veLLi thEdi unnai is from the same movie as vasantha kAla nadhigaLilE--moondRu mudichchu.

  Varghese, "Aadi Velli" is the only other song I know that follows this fascinating word-chain format. Aadi Velli is also from "Moondru Mudichu" as is "Vasantha Kaala Nadhigalilae", they were both written by Kannadhasan. I have heard it said that "Vasantha Kaala" was written in ten minutes.

  That is based on ANDHATHI (nothing but chain)
  In "illamai oonjaladu kiradhu" there is song
  Kinalthil then vaditthu by KJY (lyrics by vaali). In that song one stanza follows this pattern
  "Aanipoon katil oondu katil male mathai undu
  mathai mal vithai undu vithaikore thathai undu thathaikore muthum undu" and ...so on
  not an execellent andhathi but it is of okay type.

  Venus, thanks for pointing out the facts about Andhathi. I thought of another song that started out like it was heading in the Andhathi direction, but loses the chain after the second stanza:
  "Pon enbaen siru poo enbaen kaanum kann enbaen vaeru enn enbaen,
  En enbaen kalai aedenbaen . . ."

  Udhaya:
  
  Here is one song of that kind.
  
  nIril oru thaamarai
  thaamarayil poovithaz
  poovithazil punnakai
  punnkayil ennavoo
  
  nEttru(?) oru Oviyam
  Oviyathil peN mukam
  peN mukathil sinthanai
  sinthanaigal yaar vasam

  Here is the rest of the lyrics for the Neeril oru:
  
  SithiRathai Parthathum
  MuthaMida Oodineen
  MuthaMida Pogaiyil
  SithiRathai Thedinen
  
  Kissing a miss is a comedy
  Missing a kiss is a tragedy
  
  Pattu Onru Paadinen

  KettaKural VaaduMoo
  VaatuVadhu NeeyaMo
  
  Paathai Pala Maaralaam

  Cherrnthu Vara EnniNeen
  EnniNeeyathu Pavamo
  
  The singer is JC and the MD is SG. I am not sure of the movie, but it is Chandrasegar starring Movie.

  "Kissing a miss is a comedy/Missing a kiss is a tragedy?" What a horrific couplet in the middle of a beautiful song? Oru thelindha neerodaiyil paarangallai erinthathupondra effect. Kavingargal, padalgalil English puguthinal mathippu endru en thaan ninaipargalo?!

  can you translate for me what does it means "aLLi aLLich" ? I found this words in my slang (an old italian dialect)! From what culture they come from ?
  Thanks
  Fabio

  Why in the blazes did you open this thread from the archives to ask a totally unrelated question?

  Anyone know which movie "Pon enbaen" is from ?
  
  
• From: Guessing (@ 131.107.3.67) on: Tue May 14 15:01:52 EDT 2002
  
  Rajag, it is not "totally unrelated"
  
  Just search for "alli allich" and you will find it in Kanchana's post.
  
  May be fabio was searching for "alli allich" in his language and found some arbitrary language having the same text. Its like you are searching for "simran" and you find it in some norwegian forum and you're wondering what Simran's gotta do with Norway ( may be simran's ancestors were vikings and lived in igloos) so you post asking what does simran mean in norwegian? without realizing that you opened a sleeping thread after 4 years... but it would be worth it to find what simran meant in Norwegian, wouldn't it?
