A less poetic song from ThangaikkAga (1971)

…
Have been posting about all the beautiful, poetic Tamizh songs…well, here’s part of one of the other type:
The song is “angamuthu thangamuthu thaNNikku pOnALAm” with Nagesh and cohorts…..one of whom is a male dressed as a woman….

<FONT face=Arial size=2>Ashai konjam meeri...iva Aru mAsam carry...oh bailabailabaila...etc
Translation:
Without any operation, a man became a woman;
looking for co-operation, she went to Kodambakkam (an area of Chennai famous for both the cinema studios and the red light district..you take your pick!);
here is a Corporation Lorry (the city corporation uses the most decrepit lorries for garbage clearance)
wearing a sari;
but desire overflowed..
and she is six months "carrying"....
So we can produce crapola stuff too...! I don't know whether to laugh, or to cringe!</FONT>
