Place to go if you want to ask someone identify raga, tala, composer etc or ask for sāhitya (lyrics) or notations or translations.

hello rasikas...

i recently heard someone sing this beautiful song - manamé unnakkaen indha vaatam ...
since then, i've been looking for its lyrics but in vain... since i do not know the ragam, thalam or its composer... :(

hope someone can help me...

as far as what i remember from what the person sang the song goes like this:

manamé unnakkaen indha vaatam kann édhiré theriyudhu kandha kottam
guhané guhané yenna kuru undan varuvaan murugan mayil meedhu
(manamé)
sinamo paghayo nammakkedharkku... silla naal vazhvil veruppedarkku
kumaran thanivel thunai irrukku... inimael édharkkum bhayamédharkku
(manamé)
-----I DONT KNOW THE REST------

amazing lyrics... hail lord muruga!!!!!

THANK YOU GUYS

Nice song! Haven't heard it at all before.
From the meaning point of view, here are a few corrections. The comoser would have meant these words, I guess.

unkkEN is unakku (to you) En? (why?)
vATTam=feeling low ; kanda kOTTAm

ena (thus)
kURa (as you say it); uDan varuvAn=he will come immediately
Sila nAL vAzhvil (in a flleeting life);
tuNAi irukka (when I have his help)

I have not corrected the double aa-s to A-s as we write here, Ns for n-s as in tuNai and so on...
