Hi all, I wanted discuss about a song from the Movie Rhythm directed by Vasanth, Music by A.R.Rahman and the lines penned by Vairamuthu. In this movie, Each song symbolizes one prime element of Nature (Air, Water, Land, Fire, Sky) . My favourite song was ” Nadiyae Nadiyae” , which was written for Water and I loved the way Water’s characteristics compared with Women.
The reason for selecting this song is, The lines were like a Poem and Music is a like a Symphony and Picturisation of the song was another piece of Classic. When all these work together & creates a magic , it becomes a MASTERPIECE.
I love the Picturisation of the song !! Fantastic !! and it is one of the PRIME reason for selecting this Song !!!
Lets see that !!!!!
Water doesn’t have any definite shape or color and can change its shape accordingly by its persistence , it is usually connected to Emotions and may be the reason, Water being compared to Women as, their level of emotion cannot even measured by GOD 🙂 lol 🙂 and their frequent level of mood changes is compared to the persistence of water.
Please watch & listen the song and continue the post as I believe you would like the song .
Portrayal in the Song –
- Beauty of the River stream is compared with Full bloomed girl – A girl will be Beautiful & charming nature in her teen and the same applies to a River stream in its peak season
- Roaring Water falls is compared with a Wife – Her love with husband is Compared to a roaring waterfalls
- Sea is compared with Mom – Would you be able to find the depth of Sea ? In a similar way, A mother love can’t be judged by any means as her affection is equivalent to a sea, as it never be estimated as her adoration is extremely special and ONLY her affection is Unconditional and we can’t expect it from any one on the planet.
River Stream –
Full bloomed girl –
Water falls –
As a Wife –
Sea –
As a Mother –
Beauty –

English Translation –
O river Stream ! O river Stream ! O Lovable river stream ! Are you a women too ?
You are women too!!
One or two, I have thousand reasons!!! if you ask me, I will tell you !!
I will tell you (the reasons) if you ask me!
You are a river, when you walk;
You are a waterfall, when you rise;
You are the ocean when you stand !
similarly for a girl;
she is a young women , when she attains puberty,
she is a wife ,when she marries,
she is a mother ,when she gives birth!
Oh tiny river stream (rivulets),
Oh banks of the river!
Oh foam that reaches the shore!
In the foam, I see your (Feminine) face!
The river that hits the shore everyday sings a song with
the tune that sounds “Jil Jil Jil”
The river Ganges flows in,
The river Yamuna flows in,
The river Vaigai flows in,
The river Porunai (Thamirabarani) flows in,
with a rhythmic (“Jal Jal Jal”) movement
The value of a lover will be realised in her separation,
The value of a wife is realised in her death,
Similarly the value of water is realised during summer !
Just like a woman,
you freeze in shyness,
you melt when caressed with fingers,
both water and women are similar in their scent,
We are born in the bag of waters (amniotic sac),
We finish our existence along the shores of the water
(After death, the ashes are dissolved and special rituals are performed for the soul to rest in peace along the shores of water bodies)
Oh colourful women,
Oh meandering river!
the curves are beautiful!
Your curves are beautiful!
To sing gentle songs (when flowing),
to cover the ridges and grooves (of the rocks),
is the nature of the river,
It is the nature of a woman too,
Oh tiny rivers (rivulets),
Oh banks of the river!
Oh foam that reaches the shore!
In the foam I see your (feminine) face!
Oh Water!
You become the source of the juice in a ripe fruit,
You become the source of the honey in a flower,
You become the source of the milk in a cow!
Similarly for a woman,
when with her mother, she becomes a child,
when with her husband she becomes the loving companion,
when with her child she becomes a mother!
Oh Cuckoo! Oh Cuckoo! Both the women and the river both could change forms!
If a river decides! or if a Woman decides! all the shores (boundaries) can dissolve (in fury)!
(or all stains can be washed off because of their purifying effect)
