Fishes from Vaalai meen Songs Part 1 – Tamil wordlist 12

This is going to be a really interesting post . Lot of people would have hear the popular song Vaazha meenukum Vilangu meenukum Kalyanam song from Chitiram Pesuthadi. Every one knows the lyrics was unique with all fish names. Last time whenI had done a word list with fish names , one of the readers requested me to do a post on all fishes which comes in this song. I didnt take it seriously then. Suddenly two days before i was you tubing the song and I thought why don’t I do it and started searching for all the fishes. First the song for you,

vaala meenukkum vilangu meenukkum kalyanam
antha Sennakuni kuttum ellam oorkolam
antha nadu kadalil nadakuthaiya thirumanam
angu asarakodi aalukellam kummalam
……..
oorvalathil aadivarum nandu thanae nattiyam
ayya melathalam muzhangi varum vanjira meenu vathiyam
paara meenu nadathivara partiy00
angu therpola poguthaiya  oorkola katchiyoo
…….
koovam aru kadalil serum antha idathil love ungo
itha parthuvitaa uluva meenu vechathaiya vaithingo
….
panchayathu thalaivarana surameenu thanungo ….
avar sonnapadi eruvarukum nichiyathartham thanugo
kalyanum nadanthu vardhu paarungo
….
maapillai sontha bantham meesakaru yerango
antha nethili podiyum karapodiyum kalakalanu irukuthu
….
pennuku sontha bantham meesakara kaduma …..
antha senkara meenum vavaalu meenum varavalaipai tharuguthu…

maapillai vaazha meenu pazhavarkadu thanungo
antha manaponnum vilangu meenu ninjuru thanungo …
intha thirumanatha nadathivaikum thirkavaalu annango
intha manamakalai vazthugindra periya manusan yaarungo
thalaivaru theemingalam thaango
……
