Tugged my heart away - Idhayam Poguthey...
Film - Pudhiya vaarpugal
Song - Idhayam poguthey
Singer - Jency
Music - Illayaraja
Lyricist - Vaali
Actors: Rati Agnihotri, Bhagyaraj
Director: Barathiraja
It was 1979 and Illayaraja brought yet another voice to the TFM industry, it was Jency this time around. This was the time when Janaki and VJ were at the peak and new breed of actors and directors were hitting the screen and hence the need of new breed of singers to suit their voice and appearance.
Jency had a break in this movie with couple of evergreen melodies. She sang in Ullasa Paravaigal for Radhika, Sridevi in Jhonny, Radha in Alaigal Ooivathillai, Oru Kaithiyin Diary, niram maaradha pookal and more to add.Though the industry has forgotten her today but they will never forget her songs. Her songs were repeat request in Vividh Barathi and Ilankai Vaanoli.
In this movie she has rendered to melodies one with a lot of gaiety and other in pathos. Thamthana Thamthana….is the number in gaiety and Idhayam poguthey the somber one.
Having lost her heart to someone special….she sings the beautifully penned lines asking if her man will ever listen to the sad tunes of her heart. The first line shows the pain and her inability to keep her heart from reaching out to him. Then she says bitten by the love bug I am singing this song hope you will get to hear this somewhere.
Idhayam poguthey enaye pirinthein
kaadhal ilangaathu paadugindra paatu
kaadhal ilangaathu paadugindra patu
ketkadhoo idhayam poguthey..
In the next stanza he contrasts the beautiful past and questions if the bud of love will ever bloom to become a flower and if she will ever get to enjoy fragrance of love in her life.
Maniyoasai ketu maghizvoodu netru
kaigal thatiya kaalai sendrathengey?
arunbaana enn kaadhal malaraagumoo?
malaraagi vaazvil manam veesumoo?
Vaali metaphorically explains the state of her mind and compares her tears to the dew on the beautiful flower. The cloud of sadness in her heart is also sketched on the scenery in the village. The last two lines ends with a question if birds will chirp again and if the dew and mist will ever clear?
Suduneeril vizhundhu thudikindra meen pol
thogai nenjinil soagam pongudhamaa
kuyil koova vasandhangal uruvaagumoo
veyiltheendum poovil pani neengumoo
Vaali brings to our realization that nature and moods are intertwined. He expresses her grief and compares that to the dance of the peacocks in the rain without music. He brings the chastity of love by comparing two to self and shadow. With patience and grueling wait she asks if he will ever come back to fill the vacant spot on her forehead…..
Mazhaisaaral ooram mayilaadum neram
paadal solavum dhevan illayamaa
nizhal pola unnodu naan sangamam
tharavendum vaazhvil nee kungumam
Barathiraja is one director who has brought out the fragrance of south Indian villages to the Tamil movie industry without altering the flavor of life in villages. Who can forget the Barathiraja introduction at the beginning of every movie with folded arms welcoming the audience of Tamil Nadu (Yen uyirinum melana thamizh makkaley…)
Late seventies the crowd was still migrating towards metros like Chennai and he became an instant hit when he roiled up the emotions of the many who grew up in villages. It was village cinema on the city screens- Nagarathil Gramiya Manam. He has introduced the sequence of actress with names in the R…. Radhika, Revathi, Radha, Rama and later moved on the S…series Sukanya, Sangavi. Rathi Agnihorti, a young non tamil speaking Punjabi was the hero in this movie. And all of them have carved a niche for themselves in the industry.
This combination of Illayaraja and Barathiraja has worked wonders in the Tamil Film Industry. They bring the “maan vaasanai” or I should say infuse oxygen into our city lives with the lush greenery of village and rapturous melodies in the background. Barathiraja’s picturization of songs will never be relished by the genre of fast music today and will only look quite bizarre with fairies dressed in white dancing in the background.
Jency takes our hearts away in the rendition of this song… I have lost my heart again, but to her this time.
