நடையலங்காரம் கண்டேன் அன்னப்
பெடையும் பின்னடையும் பொற்
கொடி யிவள் மலரடி (நடை)
நடையலங்காரம் நளின சிங்காரம்
இடையலங்காரம் பின்னல் சடையலங்காரி (நடை)
தேடக் கிடைத்திடாத் தெய்வீக மருந்து
தரிசனம் கண்கள் பெறும் விருந்து
ஆடிடும் மாமயில் ஆகும் மின்னாள் - ஒயில்
ஆனந்தப் பரவசக் கானம் தரும் குயில்
பாலென மொழி
பகரெழில் சுகமருவு
சா ரீர வதன மதியின் மாண்பாகும்
நீள் விழியினலங்காரம்
நிலா நிகர் ஒய்யாரம்
நிலவிய சிங்காரம்
தனையுமிது நேரம்
காண மோகமீறி - எனதுளம்
பொன்னாள் வடிவின்
பின்னே செல்லுது
என்னே புதுமை! (நடை)
The Legends of Tamil Cinema of 1930s and 1940s - Udumalai Narayana Kavi - PART 1
When Papanasam Sivan was dominating Tamil Cinema in 1930s with his excellent compositions mostly on devotional category there was another legend who excelled not only in devotional category but in social theme as well. He was Udumalai Narayana Kavi.
Udumalai Narayana Kavi (1899-1981) was one of Tamil cinema's earliest versatile lyricist who was active from 1930s to 1960s. Udumalai Narayana Kavi (UNK) was born in Poolavadi village near Udumalaipettai town. Due to poverty and loss of his parents he discontinued his study. He also took interest in play. He started acting in temple plays and eventually got connected with bigger drama groups.
UNK learnt music from songwriter "Udumalai Sarabam Muthusami Kavi". As as graditude he followed the same name style "Udumalai Narayana Kavi". He also learnt the art of Harikathakalaksebam from the famous person of that time.
He was interested in freedom movement and started writing many partiotric songs which were sung by famous personalities of that time. When Cinema started talking, he was introduced as Script writer and lyricst into the film "Krishna Leela" which was released in 1933. This followed other two films Draupadi Vastrapaharanam (1934) and Thooku Thooki (1935). He campaigned for Congress party in 1937 and wrote several nationalist songs independently and also wrote them in films.
He wrote the most popular songs which were well received by audience in PUC starred movie "Kannagi" (1942). All songs in this movie were so refreshing with excellent and simple lyrics. Then he gave another super hit "நடையாலங்காரம் கண்டேன் " in "Kubera Kuchela" film in which PUC acted and sang the song. This was considered as one of the best songs sung by PUC.
Another hit song was "செல்வமே சுக ஜீவாதாராம் திருமகள் அவதாரம்" sung by PUC. He continued to an important lyricist for PUC in the upcoming movies. He wrote all the songs for "Krishna Bakthi" which was released in 1949. PUC excelled as a singer in the movie singing many songs excellently written by UNK. PUC acted as Harikanandha Bhagavathar in the movie. UNK was specialist in writing songs in the genre of "Harikathakalaksebam" which he learnt even before he came to Cinema. This helped him to write "kathakalaksebam" fot this movie which PUC performed so well. It was said that PUC completed the entire sequcence of singing and delivering dialogues in a single shot which was a record at that time.
Songs like "எல்லோரும் நல்லவரே உலகினில் எல்லோரும் நல்லவரே", "சாரசம் வசீகர கண்கள் சீர்தரும் முகம் சந்திர பிம்பம்", "கலைமகள் தேவகுமாரி" , etc were very well received. Again he gave some super hits for PUC in 1951 Vanasundari movie like "என்னும் எழுத்ததும் இரு கண்ணாகும்". "கண்ணிலே விளையாடும்".
UNK played major role in PUC movies. In my opinion UNK was to PUC as to how Papanasam Sivan was to MKT. UNK-PUC and PS-MKT combo fantastically ruled the starting era of Tamil Cinema. Another notable thing is UNK's association with NSK. Post-release from jail, UNK was house-hold lyricist for NSK. NSK's first movie after released from jail was "பைத்தியக்காரன்" (1947) in which UNK wrote a song "ஜெயிலுக்குப் போய் வந்த" for NSK narrating the real life incident.
Some of my favourite songs are
