Tamil lyrics by vairamuthu

I am a great fan of kaviyarasu vairamuthu... he is definitely one of tamilnadu's precious. Though at times he need to succumb to commercialism of tamil cinema, he never failed to give some wonderful meaningful lyrics at chances. You can take his last lyric that won national award "Vidai kodu engal naadae" -
"udhathil punnagai pudhaithom..
uyrinai udambukkul pudaithom..
verum koodugal mattum oorvalam poginrom" what a line....
"thalayil konjam..
nenjil adhigam..
sumaigaludan selginrom" - nothing could be best for that situation...
Another classic piece of lyric i enjoyed is from the film ratchakan
"kayil midakkum kanavaa nee
kai kaal mulaitha kaatraa nee
kaiyil yaendhiyum ganakavillaiyae
..
nuraiyaal seitha silaiyaa nee" - I wonder how this man could come up with such comparisons.
In the same song, if written by another lyricist, he might have told nothing is weightless in love, but our kavinjar adds
"kaadhal thaaimai irandu mattum
baaram yenbadai ariyaadu" (Only love and motherhood doesn't know the weight)...

In the film "Indian", on telling about "anandam"s of life our kavinjar adds
"un kannaal pirarkazhudaal..
kanneerum aanandhamae" what a line.. I wonder why this lyric didn't win a national.
