athi kaalayil from Kalyana Kaalam

Dear SPB Fans,

Listen to this melodious number from our great

Song : athikAlaiyil
film : kalyANa kAlam (1982)
singers : SPB
lyric : Vairamuthu
music : SG
Direction: Robert-Rajashekar
Actors : Thyagarajan, Suhasini

This was one of my favourite songs in those days. This song talks about the early morning atmosphere (with the lyricist Vairamuthu describing the nature's scintillating morning effects in his own words) while taking bath & breakfast and the significance of love & affection in our life. I used to tease my mother with the verse "ammA koduppAL kApi kalanthu enrum athudhAn inippu marundhu" (english meaning goes like this - mother prepares & gives coffee which is a sweet medicine). Hope you all will enjoy this song too. Many of you might not have heard this song at all. Get treated to this beautiful fast paced melody. I am thankful to our Covai Ravee who provided the MP3 file of this song based on my request.
