Translation : "What could my mother be to yours? What kin is my father to yours anyway? And how did you and I meet ever? But in love our hearts are as red earth and pouring rain mingled beyond parting." From Kuruntokai
அருமை.அருமை. செம்புலப் பெயல் நீரார் என்ற சங்கப் புலவர் இயற்றிய அகத்துறைப் பாடல்.குறுந்தொகையில் இடம் பெற்றது. விரிவாக ..... ராகம் தானம் பல்லவியாக இசைத்தமைக்குப் பாராட்டுகள் !
My mom and yours, what are they to each other? My dad and yours, how are they related? You and I, how do we know each other? Yet, like rain fall on red earth, our hearts in love merged into one. யாயும் ஞாயும் யார் ஆகியரோ? எந்தையும் நுந்தையும் எம் முறைக் கேளிர்? யானும் நீயும் எவ் வழி அறிதும்? செம் புலப் பெயல் நீர் போல அன்புடை நெஞ்சம் தாம் கலந்தனவே. This is probably the most popular and most translatedSangam poem ever. Beauty of the poem lies in its simplicity and its unmatchable simile. They are from different clans / towns. Somehow they have met each other and fallen in love. He is leaving now after making love. She is afraid that he might not come back again. He drives away her fear with this poem. “Our mothers aren’t related. Neither is my father related to your father. You and I didn’t know each other before meeting. Yet, we have met each other and fallen in love. Our hearts have now mingled together like rain water in red earth.” He says that despite not being related in anyway, we were destined to meet and fall in love. So there won’t be any separation between us. The simile rain water on red earth (translated as Red earth and pouring rain by AK Ramanujan) makes this poem stand out. The rain water mixes with red earth and attains its color and characteristic. It cannot be separated back to rain water again. So have our hearts mingled together. Rain water and red earth aren’t related to each other. But their coming together makes the land fertile. Red earth is dry and waiting for the monsoon. Once the rain water falls on earth they become one and bring prosperity to the land. AK Ramanujan’s translation is most popular and was even put up as a poster in London Tube as part of Poems on the Underground. AKR as his wont, takes creative liberties with the structure of the poem. I prefer George L Hart’s translation which stays closer to the text. So why do I even translate the most translated Tamil poem. Because. This poem has been used a lot in Tamil movies, most famously in Maniratnam’s Iruvar. This is my favorite யாய் - my mother ஞாய் - your mother எந்தை - my father நுந்தை - your father கேளிர் - relative செம்புலம் - red earth பெயல் நீர் - rain fall
Also it is செம்புலப்பெய் and not செம்புலை. புலம் means land, soil. The rendition is absolutely beautiful. It'll be good if such details are taken care of.
யாயும் ஞாயும் யார் ஆகியரோ? எந்தையும் நுந்தையும் எம்முறைக் கேளீர்? யானும் நீயும் எவ்வழி அறிதும்? செம்புலப் பெயல் நீர் போல அன்புடை நெஞ்சம் தாம் கலந்தனவே.

யாய் - my mother
ஞாய் - your mother
எந்தை - my father
நுந்தை - your father
கேளிர் - relative
செம்புலம் - red earth
பெயல் நீர் - rain fall
@Unni : Yes,it is wonderful indeed ! :)
Which album is this ?? From where you got the original one??
Beautiful Sir !!!
Brilliance!
Wonderful!!!
Super
I think it's vrindavani sarang, I am not an expert, it's in Hindustani classical. But it Carnatik it different may be.
We call it Brindavana Saranga.
It's originally from Hindustani style, brought into Carnatic idiom by Muthuswami Dikshitar in the 19th century.
யாராக்கியரோ - doesn't mean anything.
Should be யாராகியரோ - who be they?
Also it is செம்புலப்பெய் and not செம்புலை. புலம் means land, soil. The rendition is absolutely beautiful. It'll be good if such details are taken care of.
Can someone put the lyrics in Thamizh?
யாயும் ஞாயும் யார் ஆகியரோ?
எந்தையும் நுந்தையும் எம்முறைக் கேளீர்?
யானும் நீயும் எவ்வழி அறிதும்?
செம்புலப் பெயல் நீர் போல
அன்புடை நெஞ்சம் தாம் கலந்தனவே.
Is it Anil Srinivasan on the piano?
I would love for him to just let go in this type of ex tempore music, he has been unusually low key...
