Spring amongst Seasons

 In the ALS Perfprming Arts challenge for the third week of May 2022, on day 2, we were required to sing a regional song. I chose to sing  a Tamil song  rendered by P.B.srinivas in the 60s film "Paavamannippu" . The song written by veteran  lyricist Kannadasan is set to music by the celebrated duo  Vishwanathan- Ramamurthy.. 

I  have translated the song into English for the understanding pleasure of  friends not knowing Tamil.

She  is the sweet spring amongst seasons 

A Portrait/ painting amongst the arts 

she is the month of *Margazhi amongst the months 

and  lovely fragrant Jasmine amongst the flowers      ( she is..)   

Among birds, she is the  lovely dove

a lullaby amongst all forms of songs 

among fruits she is the queen Mango 

and cool breeze amongst flowing air  (She is.....)  

when it comes to smiling(like white  milk), she's a child

She, a young maiden when embracing the cool dew/fog 

when taking care, she's  like a mother 

oh dear,  she has now made me a poet!   (She is...)

* Margazhi is held a very auspicious month in the Tamil calendar for offering prayers (falls around early January)
