Nee ondru dhaana En sangeedham
Bilahari nee ondru dhaana En sangeedham
Kuruvi tholil imayam illai Kudathu neeril kadalum illai
Vaanin ellai jaadil illai Nee ondru dhaana
En sangeedham
Poga poga pogum vaanam Paada paada neelum raagam
Poga poga pogum vaanam Paada paada neelum raagam
Samudhirathai mooda Pandhal podava
Ennakkul ellaam ennum Ennam aagumaa …
Isaikku nee adakkama… Unnakkadhu adangumaa…
Isaikku nee adakkama… Unnakkadhu adangumaa…
Nee ondru dhaana En sangeedham
{Isaikkul kidandhu Mayangum sakravaaham
Manadhil neruppai valarkkum Raaga yaagam} (2)
Naanum neeyum thandhadhalla Yaarai paarthum vandhadhalla
Neeyindri naan undu
Bhootham aindhu naadham kodi Naanum andha vaanampaadi
Bhootham aindhu naadham kodi Naanum andha vaanampaadi
Parandhu nirkkum Andha vaanam pondradhu
Irandha pinnum Ennai vaazha vaippadhu
Isai thamizh nirandharam Ennakadhu varam tharum
Isai thamizh nirandharam Ennakadhu varam tharum
Nee ondru dhaana En sangeedham

Song Meaning & Analysis
This song is a profound philosophical ode to music, particularly Carnatic music and Tamil musical tradition. The lyricist, Pulamaipithan, uses rich metaphors to convey the boundless, eternal, and divine nature of music. The central question, "Nee Ondru Dhaana En Sangeedham?" (Are you the only one, my music?), is not a literal query but a rhetorical device to emphasize that music is far vaster than any single form, person, or interpretation. It cannot be contained or limited, much like the Himalayas cannot rest on a sparrow's shoulder, or an ocean in a pot. The song elevates music to a spiritual plane, describing it as something that extends endlessly like the sky and grants immortality to those who embrace it.
The lyrics also explore the relationship between the artist and music, questioning whether the artist controls music or is merely a vessel for its expression. By identifying the singer as a "skylark" amidst "five elements and a crore of sounds," the song suggests that the artist is a humble instrument channeling the universal, timeless essence of music. The repeated mention of specific ragas like Bilahari and Chakravakam, along with the sargam (solfa) passages, grounds this philosophical exploration in the rich tradition of Carnatic music, celebrating its permanence and the blessings it bestows. It's a declaration of music's supreme, all-encompassing power and its enduring legacy.
