enna pArvai indha pArvai

kadhalikka nEramillai, an excellent movie by Sridhar. Very clean comedy, beautiful colors (andha kAlathu Eastman color padam), super hit songs.
Talking about songs, it was yet another example of the tussle between kaviarasar Kannaadhasan and the duo Visawanathan-Ramamurthi.

This particular song, illustrates kavingnar’s command over the language

“enna pArvai indha pArvai”
“idai melindhAl indha pAvai”

Picturisation: The camera is focused on the eyes of the heroine on the first line and slowly moves down to her hips and thus leading to the lyric.

Here is the play of words by the kavignar I wanted to point out. Focus is on the word “pArvai”.
The word has “rana” used in the word as the middle letter (idai, middle), when this letter fades, melindhAl, the result is “pAvai”

Or it can also be interpreted as:
“rana” idayinamaga (mei ezhuthil, vallinam, idayinam, mellinam endru mUndru vagai) irukka, melindhal viLaivadhu mellinam alla, verum uyir ezhuthe.

“enna pArvai indha pArvai”
“idai melindhAl indha pAvai”
