Energy Bar in S. Janaki's voice
Film: Paasam
Singer: S.Janaki
MD: Viswanathan-Ramamurthy
Lyricist: Kannadhasan
The music directors Viswnathan and Ramamurthy like twin bulls wheeling the cart have given innumerable immortal melodies to the Tamil film industry and this one specially will make my feet and fingers tap even in the grave.
This song is a bottle of Gatorade when you are sapped. A very passionate high energy song with lot of valor and enthusiasm. I had my head phone on when I first listened to this song and I thought it was yet another song by P.Susheela. But later my mother corrected me that it was S. Janaki behind this burst of high energy voice. A very beautiful voice sung in real voice at right sruthi strictly adhering to the notations and great pronunciation. No wonder why Janaki stayed in the field for more than 5 decades.
The very first line is packed is like an energy bar….
Jal Jal Jal enum salangai oil
Sala Sala Sala vena saaliyile
Sel Sel Selungal kaalaigale
Serndhita venum iravukullae
There is so much of resonance her voice which is able to be mimic the exact sound of the block of words like Jal, Sala, Sel. They call this Irattai Kilavi and Adukku thodar in tamil grammer. Kannadaasan is a poet who doesn’t use his poetic license to trespass the rules of grammer.
Definitely this song makes my gland secrete more adrenalin. Even when I on my last lap of the treadmill and exhausted this song is like glucose gives me energy and makes my feet run faster than a bull.
Kaatinil oruvan yenai kandan
Kayyil ullathai kodu yendran
kaiyyil ethuvum illaiyenru
kaNNil uLLathai koduththuvitten
The magical spin that SJ gives when says the word Kayyil gives that extra feel of enjoyment.
Here is the second stanza where Kannadaasan gives away the plot…..
avanthaan thirudan endrirunthen
avanai naanum thirudivitten
muthal muthal thirudum kaaranaththaal
muzhuvathum thiruda maranthuvittaen
MGR plays the role of a thief in this movie. While acknowledging that fact, the lady conveys her newbie naïveté in romance.
Indrey avanai kaithu seivan
Yendrum siriyil vaithuiruppen
Vilakkam sollavum mudiyathu
Viduthalai yenbathum kidayathu
The last line is very nice, she says with conviction that he is imprisoned in her heart for life. Is that what they called TADA in those days? Lol! This song definitely drives us like race bull pumping the heartbeat and at the same time relaxes the mind with wonderful lyrics and sweet voice.

I like 'kadal kaditham theetavey' from Jodi. Janaki's voice is so melodious and the song is so meaningful....
of course who can forget 'singara velaney theva' from konjum salangai
Sundar:
You are right, only Adukku thodar is used in this song. Excuse my typo, if you will.
The song "THOOKKAM UN KANGALAI THAZHUVATTUME" from 'AALAYAMANI" sung by the great S.Janaki is really a memorable one. a lullaby song. Ethanaiyo murai Indha paadali kettavudan 'Thookam en kangalai' thazhuviyadu undu !
