Is the vocalist Radha Badri?

I think, this piece is Smt. Rajee Narayan comp.

It isn't unless she has a third volume of her songs in print. It is also not by Vinai Sesha Iyer or any of the other well known dance music composers like Dandayudapani PIllai or Tanjavur Quartette.

apsara: Where did you locate this piece?

The music is from the film
Dance Like A Man
Featured Artist(s): Shobana, Arif Zakaria, Anoushka Shankar, Samir Soni And Mohan Agashe-

Dance Like a Man is a beautiful soundtrack bearing testimony to violin maestros Ganesh & Kumaresh' excellence as music composers. The film has recently received the National Award for this year's "Best Feature Film in English". Directed by Pamela Rooks of "Train to Pakistan" fame, the film stars Arif Zakaria, South Indian Superstar Shobana along with Anoushka Shankar and Samir Soni. Composers Ganesh and Kumaresh have worked with traditional music and merged it with more contemporary elements to create a unique soundtrack. The music blends in with the story and is an integral part of the storyline. A movie worth watching with a soundtrack to match.

Track's name was "The Dance Of Joy (thillana)", no name of the singer.

Thanks apsara.

The (female) singer in the tracks is Smt. Radha Bhadri (she sings for many dancers), and the (male) singer in the other tracks is Sri Ganesh (of the Ganesh Kumaresh duo, who scored the music).

This is a short clip of how the tillAnA was pictured in the movie: - the dancer is the sitarist, Ms. Anoushka Shankar

Grand thanks for the lyrics!!!

Could anyone translate the charanam, please?

enru ADinEn
enru pADinEn uyirum uDalum un padamAnadE en uLLam urugum paravashamAgudE hara hara sadara shiva shivA enru un nAmamE en nAdinil isaittiDavum unai ninaindu enai marandu

PUNARVASU · Post by **PUNARVASU** » 24 Mar 2008, 15:10

I have doubts about these words

1) unpadamAnadE- or is it -unvasamAnadE?

2)uLLam urugum paravasahamAgudE--somehow the combination doesnt sound correct

3)hara hara sadara- 'sadara'-Iam unable to comprehend

4) en nAdinil- is it en nAvinil'?

Since I am unable to hear the clipping, Iam asking for these clarifications

Charanam:

Perhaps it is "Shankara" instead of "sadara"?

Punarvasu,

Here is my attempt at clarifying doubts, and possibly helping Apsara choreograph it: I think your instinctive corrections were on the money.

ta kiTa tAm ta tAm ta tam enru ADinEn
ma ga ma pA ga ma dhA dha nI enru pADinEn
uyirum uDalum un vaSamAnadE en uLLam urugum paravashamAgudE
hara hara Sankara Siva SivA enru un nAmamE en nAvinil isaittiDavum
unai ninaindu enai marandu ta kiTa tAm taka tAm ta tAm

In order that only your (un) names (nAmamE) like (enru) hara hara, SankarA, and Siva SivA issue forth/sound (iSaittiDavE) from/in my (en) tongue (nAvinil), I forgot (marandu) myself (enai) and thought (ninaindu) only of you (unai) as I danced (ADinEn) to the SorkaTTu that goes (enru) 'ta kiTa tAm ta tAm ta tAm', and sang (pADinEn) the notes that go (enru) 'ma ga ma pA ga ma dhA dha nI'. And as I did so, I realize that my life (uyirum) and body (uDalum) are no longer under my control, but have become/come under (AnadE) your (un) subordination/power/custody (vaSam), and my heart (uLLam) has melted (urugum) and I experience (AgudE) joyous ecstacy (paravaSam) [1].

[1] There is a remarkable use of 'un/en vaSam' (meaning your/my control) and para vaSam (meaning 'control of someone else') in this caraNa sAhityam that encapsulates the underlying basic tenet of Hindu philosophy: when ego dissolves (concepts of 'I/my/you', 'our/my control' etc), and surrender to the almighty is absolute, that transfer/relinquishing of control leads to supreme bliss (paravaSam)!
