Yes, param it was 'parrot, parrot' (i.e. கிளியே கிளியே) and not 'tear, tear' (கிழியே,கிழியே) :lol:
What KJY sang sounded like 'parrot, parrot' to Malayalees.
However, it sounded 'fear, fear' (கிலியே,கிலியே) to Thamizh people :-)

app,
கிலியே - we can use this way.
plis explain கிழியே.
KizhinA sollanum? KiLi-nu dhAnE sollaNum
கிழியே is not a proper use, you're right...it can be கிழியேன், கிழியேன் :-)Quote:

App,
KJY's first song for MGR was "Thangathoniyile" in USV but technically speaking KJY had sung in a MGR movie way back in 1966. The movie was Parakkum Paavai in which he sang சுகம் எதிலே இதயத்திலா along with TMS and LRE [a very rare combo song] and his playback was for Chandrababu [again a rare occasion].
Regards
WOW, what a rare piece of info!
Thank you Murali sir!
Trust Param to derail any thread :sigh2:Quote:
