Uyire Uyire – Lyrics and Translation
From the movie Bombay, this is another super-hit from Rahman. Hariharan’s voice makes it take on a etheral quality. And if I may say so, these lyrics far out-beat the Hindi remake.

Swasame – Lyrics and Translation
From Thenali, another Kamal Movie (:)), this clip starts with her singing to him and he tells her that it would be better to sing a duet in their dreams (unobserved by street people) so they can change location and clothes as they please (as it typical of movie songs).

Vaseegara – Lyrics and Translation
This song was a big hit when it first came out and still is very popular. It is from the movie Minnile which means lightning. It is considered a sensual song and therefore it must have some strange dance scenes in the middle to leave the real sensual things to imagination if you be so inclined.

Anthi Mazhai Lyrics and Translations
I think by now it is quite easy to tell I am a big fan of Kamal Hassan. His acting is so versatile, it truly is a pity that just because of the language and/or a cultural barrier, the rest of the world is missing out.
