Lyrics of "Va Va Va Kanda ..."

[SMadhabhus]

Hi,
Could anyone having the lyrics of the song, "Va Va Va Kanda Va Va Va ..."
post the same? I really like the song, but am unable to make it out
from the tape I have. Also, is the song in Varali??

Thanks,
Shankar

[V P Iyengar]

I don't have the lyrics, but yes, the song is in Varali.

I learnt this song when I was a kid. I have set my mind working on it .
Hopefully I' ll have the complete lyrics in a few days. It starts Ka va va
, Kanda va ennai kaakka va velava: Pazhanimalai muru
Ga va va, Kanda va ennai.....
If it is any help, I believe the composer of this song is Paappanaasam
Sivan (I think)

Shreeram

RE: Lyrics for Va va va...

This is the way I've learn't it:

Vaa Vaa Vaa, Kanda Va Va, ennai kaa vaa Velava
PazhaNimalai Uraiyum
(Muruga Vaa Vaa, etc.)

Devaadhi devan magane Vaa
Paradevi madiyil amarum Guhane Vaa
VaLLi Deivayaanai maNavaaLaa vaa
SaravaNabhava parama dhayaaLa Shanmuga
(Vaa Vaa Vaa, etc.)

AapathiruL ara, aruLoLi tharum,
Appane, ANNale, Aiyya Vaa
Paapa thiraL tharum, thaapam agala varum,
PazhaNi vaLar karuNai mazhaye Vaa
Thaapathraya ezhil ara nizhyal tharum vaa
Tharuve en kula Guruve Vaa
Sri Padmanaabhan maruga
Ramadaasan vaNangum Muththaiyya viraivodu
(Vaa Vaa Vaa, etc.)

The song is in Varali, Adhi Talam by Papanasam Sivan. My favorite
rendering is by D.K.J. - he has sung it on tape. I really like the
swara sahityam in 'Thaapam agala'.

Hope this helps,

Chitra

Oh Muruga/Shanmugha, who lives (“Urayum”) in Pazhani malai,
come (“Vaa”) to protect me. [“Kaa” = protect]
Come, O son of Shiva (“Devadi Devan Maghan”).
Come, O Guha, who sits on Parvati’s (“Para Devi”) lap (“Madiyil”).
Come, O husband (“manavalaa”) of Valli and Deivayanai.
O, Sharavana, the supreme kind being (“Parama Dayaalaa”).
You are one who bestows light (“arul Oli”) to remove (“ara”) the darkness (“Irul”) of danger
(“aapathin”)
You are the one who comes (“varum”) removes (“aghala”) longing [“Thapam”] and sin (“Papa”).
You, are the shower (“Mazhai”) of kindness (“Karunai”), who grew (“Valar”) up in Pazhani.
You are the one who gives (“tharum”) the shadow (“Nizhal”) to
Protect/remove (“ara”) me from the sun-like rays (“Veyil”)
created by intense (“traya”) longing (“Thapam”)
Come, oh Guru of our community (“Kulam”)
Oh son-in-law (“marugha”) of lord Vishnu (described as the one with lotus (“Padma”)
in his navel (“nabhi”))
Oh, the one who is worshipped (“vanangum”) by Ramadasa (alias for the poet himself),
Oh gem of a person (“muthaiya”) ! (Come …)
