I am trying to see what are the songs with the most romantic lyrics. My favorite is "Vaa vennila" in Mella thirandhadu Kadavu and the verse "malar pondra paadam nadakkirnra poodhu nilam pole unnai naan thanga vendum" is something every 10th std boyw orth his love letter can relate to. It is definitely a far cry from the condescending and misogynist "Kaanchi pattuduthi.. mamiyaar pottranum" crap that actually passed off as being romantic less than a generation ago.
Although I have high regard for Kannadasan in the love/sex arena, many of his songs again tend to treat women as objects rather than as partners. Worse, he had this habit of introducing himself rather indiscreetly into the couple's relationship ,an unwarranted love triangle. Witness how in "Chippi irukkudhu" in "Varumaiyin niram sivappu", he writes "kavingyar idhayam konjum", an obvious reference to himself. The ultimate display of mega ego is of course his autobiographical "Oru koppayile en kudiyirruppu". Only Kannadasan could get away with such outrageousness!
OK pardon me from digressing from the topic.. I have high regard for Kannadasan overall..
Anyway, please nominate your favorite romantic song. Not just based on technical merit, but ones that caused you to blush, develop goose pimples, itch or whatever..
Ladies are especially welcome to post their choices so that we men can come up with better pick-up lines..

Ippodhaikku idhudhaan nyaabagam varudhu:
"Ennai mudhan mudhalaaga paartha podhu enna ninaithai?"
"Naan unnai ninaithen!"
A similar one - not romantic but funny!
"Enna pathi nee enna ninaikkire?"
"Unna pathi naan onnum ninaikkala!"

there are hundreds over wonderful romantic works in tamil cinema music...most of them make me melt.
Being a gal myself i feel great when my guy sings mellisayyae from Mr.Romeo and kadhal sadugudu(greatly romantic sia) from alaipayuthae...esp the line
"en kaNNeer en thaNNeer ellaamae neeyanbae
en inbam en thunbam ellaamae neeyanbae
en vaazhvum en saavum un kaNNil asaivilae" i juz wld feel like hugging his neck and wait for him to hide his face in my dense hair and drink his odour...mmm!!
and he loves to hear me singing the thaneer-i kadhalikum song from Mr.Romeo as well...God, romantic like hell and seductive too. I my self enjoy the line
"love irukuthu aiaiyoo, athai maraipathu poiaiyoo",
"manmathanai parthavudan marbukal aasai-i maraithukondaen, padukaiyilae padukaiyilae avanukum idam vitu paduthu kondaen"
AND THE ULTIMATE IS
avanai idazhkalil sumapaen
anju mani varai rasipaen
kanalam kannodum kathodum munooru muthaduvaen.
guess wat??? :-;

Vj is back.
One of my most fav romantic songs as well as lyrics...
"nee paartha paarvaigal poovaagum...nenjukkul thaikkindra mullaagum... kanney en kanpatta kaayam... kaivaikka thaanaga aarum" from "Valayosai kalakala" - Sathya.. IMO, one of the best picturised romantic songs. Kamal at his best.
"Edho mogam" - Kozhi koovudhu... do we need to say anything? The whole song is lovely and romantic.
"roja ondru mutham kaetkum neram" - again, the whole song.
will be back with more.
