Bharathidasan Songs Lyrics In Tamil Pdf 16
Alfonzo Liebenstein
His love for nature with rare sensibility is expressed in a fresh and conventional way in Alagin Sirippu. Tamil is his religion and his songs on Tamil are rightly popular, as indeed they are in the best tradition of Bharathi. He looks on Tamil from the Universal point of view and calls her the world mother.
His failure in cinema can be attributed to his stubbornness and unbending nature. He was true to his beliefs and not ready to trade them off for the world. This is where Kannadasan as a lyricist differed. Unlike Bharatidasan who would allow none to tamper with his lines, be it songs or dialogue, Kannadasan was always at the disposal of his producer or director or even the star. He never stood on ideology nor cared for consistency in his ideas or beliefs. He would celebrate brotherly love in a song and denounce it in another; he would hail love in a song and castigate it in another. He would praise Annadurai and later debunk him. He spared none and minced no words. He was in a state of flux always. Lyricist Vaali used the same formula and made it big.
In the Tamil social psyche, May Day holds an indelible place by way of songs and movies. Writer and scholar Stalin Rajangam points out that in Tamil cinema, the songs around May Day, on labour and its issues, are far more in number than other celebratory songs, including those meant for festivals like Deepavali and Pongal, or say New Year.
Here are some of those songs from across the hundred year old Tamil cinema that celebrated the spirit of May Day; songs that evocatively spoke of labour issues and inspired the millions that watched them.
