Ever since ARR came into the picture, I have had a great admiration for Vairamuthu (a great lyricist). Although, I am not very fluent in Tamil, his lyrics make me want to learn more of the language.

One of my favorites is the Tamil version of the song Saathiya. TO top it off, it is picturized so beautifully (hats of to Mani Ratnam). The song talks about the different colors that represent love. For each color, the actor and actress wear clothes in that shade.

Here is a translation that I got from the internet.
