Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required Translation of Cuppiramania Bharathiyar’s poem: Kannamma, My Love! (Kannamma En Kaathali) by T. Wignesan Yet another poem by the most famous modern Tamil poet, written a century ago – despite the commonplace imagery – follows in the original very complex classical Tamil prosodic rules in the execution of initial and end-rhymes, alliteration in each line and in the immediate and successive lines as a whole, the inner rhymes of assonance and consonance notwithstanding. The non-Tamil can best savour these poetic and/or musical qualities by listening to the version of the poem set to music, and here sung by Mahathi: YouTubeFR: Aasai Mugam Jukebox – Songs of Bharathiyar – Tamil Patriotic Songs (It’s the 4th song down on the left column) Does not the endearing warmth of our mutual gaze – Kannamma Reflect the light of the sun and moon alike? Does not the precious circular eye – Kannamma Dispel the darkness of the skies? Dressed in deep blue-black silk – the sari Inlaid with choice diamonds While in the core of pitch darkness – glitter The scintillating stars – Dear-Girlie! Does not the blossoming grove fade – lit by your Illuminating smile? Even as blue-tinted sea waves –your Breast heaves in unison – Girlie-Dear! Just as the enticing cuckoo call – your Sweet dulcet tones invade, My Dear! O! You unspoilt young maiden! – Kannamma! The bridal feast* has yoked my heart, alas! You speak of comparing birth-charts* - Kannamma What avails such astrological omens? For those who can hardly repress yearning – Kannamma Might the stars forebode greater bliss? If our elders will bestow approval – nuptial Arrangements we will later formalize Will I be waiting for you, My Dear – to seal Our vows – plant I this kiss on your cheek! Notes • According to Hindu custom, the brides’s family has to offer a sumptuous dinner to the formally-invited bride-groom. • Hindu marriages are often contracted after verification of birth-charts, drawn up by astrologers, to ascertain the compatibility of the bride to the bride-groom. © T.
