Pani Vizhum Malarvanam

The Tamil Film “Ninaivellam Nithya” (1982) has many wonderful songs. Let’s take it one by one.

This song does not need much explanation. This is a wonderful song wherein Balu’s voice and the accompanying guitar bit are woven in beautifully making it debatable on which is sweeter. It transcends all time barriers and sounds pleasant even today. This song is better listened, neglecting the visual content in the song which is not of much significance. Similar to the “Ilaya Nila” song, this one also has superb guitar play by IR. The way the music from the violin longingly lends itself to the end of the first two lines of the songs’s pallavi has the trademark of IR.

When Balu sings “Kaigal Idaidhanil Neligaiyil” he modulates his voice giving it a magical effect.


Panivizhum malarvanam un paarvai oru varam
inivarum munivarum thadumaarum kanimaram

(panivizhum)

saelai moodum ilanjoalai maalai soodum malarmaalai
irubadhu nilavugal nagamengum olividum
ilamaiyin kanavugal vizhiyoaram thulirvidum
kaigal idaigalil neligaiyil idaiveli kuraigaiyil
eriyum vilakkuch chiriththu kangal moodum

(panivizhum)

kaaman koayil siraivaasam kaalai ezhundhaal ha haa parigaasam
thazhuvidum pozhudhilae idam maarum idhayamae
viyarvayin mazhaiyile payiraagum paruvamae
aadum ilaigalil vazhigira nilavoli kulirgaiyil
mazhaiyil nanaindhu magizhum vaanambaadi

(panivizhum)
