Thunbam Nergaiyil
There are fewer songs that are more uplifting when one is down than Kurai ondrum illai or Bharathidasan‘s “Thunbam nergaiyil”. He was one of the very few who was a fitting disciple of the great Mahakavi Subramanya Bharathi despite his controversial political views (which is ironical considering Bharathi‘s birth) – Bharathidasan is a combination of the words Bharathi and “dasan” which means “fierce follower”.
I finally managed to find time of translate the lyrics in Tamil. Please use tammudram font from http://www.kamban.com.au/ to view or send me the request with your mail id!
