Lyrics for 'Kaana Kannayiram' of Anayya

[kittappa]

Can anyone please give me the sahitya for the Anayya song 'Kaana Kannayiram Vendum' in Neelambari? Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot Sri Lakshman.

In the anupallavi, it should be 'vANar tudikkum dharmavardhani..............' That i how the musician whose recording of that song I have sings. Many words were not clearly audible, that's why I asked for the sahitya.

[Lakshman]

Thanks for pointing out the typo.

This seems to be an old forum. Suguna Varadachari's verse also has it as dharmavardhani.

ingitamAna veLvidaiyAnE - i think that is about the lord's mount veL + vidaiyAnE - some one who mounts a good natured white bull.

Lakshman sir - many words in tamil have to be slapped together (shen shilambaNi would be senjilambaNi [wearing good silambu/anklet], shen shadaiyOnE would be senjadaiyOnE [matted with red(dish) hair]) not withstanding many folks tendency to pronounce it shadai and shilambu. They are sadai and silambu.

So what exactly does " kaNDa karuttu kallO sukham kANum" mean? such a vision would make even an inanimate object feel joy(happy)?

... So what exactly does " kaNDa karuttu kallO sukham kANum" mean? such a vision would make even an inanimate object feel joy(happy)?

It should be:-
"kaNDa karuttukaLO sukham kANum ?"
"கண்ட கருத்துகளோ சுகம் காணும் ?"

பொருள்:-
(உனது அழகைப் பற்றி)
இதுவரை கேட்டறிந்த வர்ணனைகளா இன்பத்தை அளித்திடும் ?
காண (நேரே கண்டு களிக்க) கண் ஆயிரம் வேண்டும்.
