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

What a pleading, heart-melting entreaty! Beautiful..

Lji, is this Sri Somu's composition?

In the C, I think it should be ADi mayilEri and not Adi mayilEri

Mr. Lakshmanji, the lyrics as heard from the song sung by Sri. Somu has few changes. I give below the lyrics, as heard from his song. This composition seems to be of Sri. Somu's own creation.

P: ninaikkAda nEramillai murugA
ninaindu ninaindu urugi pADinEn
A: ninaitta pOdu enkum vara ven(d)um
ninaittadellAm nIyAga ven(d)um
C: aNaittukkoNDu nI ADi mayIlinil
Eri varum vadiveEla
Ninaittukonde ennai ETri vaippAi murugA
urugippADiDa nI enakkarul purivAi

In the charanam, lyrics sounds like this; nI, ADi +mayil +inil meaning, you on the dancing peacock.

So is the composer Sri Madurai Somu himself? Can someone confirm this?

Hari- Lakhsman is right in the following-
"ninaitta pOdu nI en mun vara ven(d)um" This sentence only fits in the flow of the song. I have a LP of Madurai Somu. It is very clear.
2) "Adu Mayilil" is correct. when one uses "Ni adi mayil" means "dancing murugan" when one uses "Ni adu mayilil" means murugan in dancing peacock"
3) Urugippadinen or urugippadida- both are correct. Since it is his composition, he sings in both.
4) He also uses "vadivela" in the place of "murugayya"

You can hear this song and others in a beautiful 1971 concert of Somu in MysUru at:
http://chowdaiahandparvati.blogspot.com/
His passionate singing about his guru in "Ezhumalai vAsanukkum..." is a gem.
Besides being an excellent concert in content as well as singing, some of Somu's own creations at the end of the concert are sparkiling.
KaNNadAsan's "marudamalai mAmaNiye..." is superb too.

Kind Sir,

Your words are most welcome and heightens the inspiration and knowledge level for all of us in the CPBlog team. In hearing Madurai Somu emote the raagas with such an extraordinary 'Bhakti', one is immediately drawn into wondering how the love of a Thyagaraja or Purundara Dasa might have been in their divine bursts when the Lord came calling. From the stories we have heard, Vidwan Somu seemed to react the same way at the very mention of Lord Raama; so sensitive and pure of the heart was he.
