Read the very insightful transcript of Enn Kanavar, a speech by Sellamaal Bharati[not devayani] where she recollects her life with the ‘Poet of the century’. And as usual, favorite lines from this dude’s poetry –
Ooyuthal Seiyom Thalai Saayuthal Seiyom
Unmaigal Soalvom Pala Vanmaigal Seivom
Guru,
Chenthil has come up with a good initiative of translating bharathiars poetry. Did you check it out? I think we all should translate atleast one ЁЯЩВ
Thanks for the link to that speech by Chellammaal.
the real Super Star…
bathagam seibavarai kandu
bayam kolla lagadhu pappa
modhi midithu vidu pappa
avar mugathil umizhndhu vidu pappa
we miss you Bharathi…
– smruthi
happy b’day to mundassu kavigyan!
(btw,baasha bai’s b’day also falls on the same day,I guess?)
My fav’s are the lines
“Kala unnai siru pulena madhikiren,
En kaalaruge vaada, satre unnai mithikiren”
Bharathi Bhaskar said in Nayandi Darbar that she admired this man for his abosulte lack of fear …guess those lines by the man himself suggest that…..Incidentally these were the last lines spoken by Sayaji Shinde in the movie Bharathi.
A perfect ending to the great man’s life(in the movie).
Maha Kavi Bharathi… Unnai thalai vananguguren. Unnai pol oruvanai indha bhumi meendum parka vendum.
As Vairamuthu said …” Yettaiya purathil oruthiyin Karuppai NERUPPAI sumanthathey eppadi “…”Bharathi unnaku thalai vanaguguren…
Tholai nookku paarvai konda orey Maha Kavi…
Ennalum namathu desathin Desiya kavi…
Uchi meedhu Vaanidinthu Veezhukinrapothilum…
Even if another Bharati is born and living amongst us it will take atleast 20 years after he is dead for us to recognise the “Agni”… That is the way we have been cursed (and not the Bharatis…)
Nallathor veenai seithey…
athai nalam keda puzhuthil earivathundo…
what – no happy birthday for rajini…boo hoo….
just kidding – happy to see no happy bday for rajini posted here…
i heard that tv channels are falling over each other to showcase rajini-thaatha’s b-day. it’s sad that tn celebrates’s sooper star’s b-day in a big way while barathiyar is relatively ignored…barathiyar to barathi-yaar?
nona

ps: i am sure one of sooper star’s fans will be quick to remind me that its not sooper star’s fault that his b-day is on dec 12…
Aaha, what a coincidence – Just this Saturday I was missing my Bharatiyar kavidhaigal book in India and scoured the local library – finally got an English translation of his poems!
Rock on Bharathi!
Paa ulagai aaLa vandha vendhan
Ivan paar muzhudukkum pudhiya maandhan
Ivan moovulagai aala vandha
Muttrum vilai pesa vandha
Vendhan, Shakthi Kanthan!
(Pirar vaada pala seyalgal seidhu
Narai koodi kizhparuvam eidhi
Kodum koottrukkiraiyaagi pin maayum
Pala vedikkai manidharaip polay
Naan veezhvenendru ninaiththaayo
Ini ennai pudhiya uyiraakki
Madhi thannai migha thelivu seidhu
Endrum sandhosham kondirukkach cheivaai
Endrum sandhosham kondirukkach cheivaai)
