1) Sanda Kozhi-Ayuthu Ezhuthu.. Music by A.R.Rahman.. Lyrics by Vairamuthu..

Sanda koazhi koazhi ive sanda koazhi
Konjam thadavu thadavu ive sontha koazhiyaa
Kayya vechcha nenjukulle kayye muyya
Nee rendum uduthalaam paaye poadayya
Sandai vandhucha thalli padumayya
Rendum uduthalaam paaye poadayya
Sandai vandhucha thalli padumayya

Konjeneram enne kollayya ayya

Vaangi poaten veththalai, sevakkalai saami
Vaayi muththam kudutha, sevanthidum saami
Sorkapuram poavoanum, nalla vazhi kaami
Oh ottukinnu meni, thodangattum uravu
Vatti kade poale, valarattum vayiru

Machchu vide vaenaam
Ettu kattu poadhum
Meththyaethum vaenaam
Oththe paayi poadhum
Mookuththiyin pon keethu
Raathirikku poadhum
Oh.. saiva muththam kodutha
Oththu poaghe maataen
Saagasatha kaatu
Seththu poaghe maataen


2) Vaigasi Nilave-Unnale Unnale.. Music by Harris Jeyaraj.. Lyrics by Vaali..

Vaigasi nilave, vaigasi nilave
Maiy poosi vaiythirikum kannil
Nee poi poosi vaiythiripidennai
Vetkethai udaithaiy
Kaiy kullai adaithaiy
Thaneerai otrukulenthida
Nan... thaladi tharthilikum niram
Vizhiyil irendu, vizhangu iriku
Anbai nee pottaiy, adimai ennaku
En jeevan vaazhum varai..
En seijvaaiy naalum ennai

Thoovaanum ennai, thooragal villai
Thappanai ennim nenjil tharundirathai

Itho ennaikaagha virindhathu
Idal edirka vaiypennai
Kanni edhirkaagha kanninthadu
Kannil kadithi vaiythaanai

Kaatrum, poovum kaadhal seijum

Noolaadai ennai, melaadai ennai
Paaladai mainai meedu padaruttuma
Nan ennai solla, nee ennai mella
Dheendi thee vaiykiraiy

Punal aruginil undu
Mannai nerupaagha irikaiyil
Ennai thavirpadhu kandu

Theertum vaarthai theerathennai


3) Kannan Varum-Deeppavali.. Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja.. Lyrics by N.Mutthukumar..

Kannan varum vellai, anthi maalai
Naan kaathirinthaen
Chinna chinna thaiyekam, silla maiyekkam
Athai yerkanindraen
Katti kadanga, yenna alaigal
Rekkai virikum, rendu viligal
Koodu paayum kurumbu kaaran, avane

Maan koli, kollu maasai Yaadi thopathu
Kaimaasam kollu maasai Kodi paarpathu
Thaer kaalgal, kollu maasai Veethi servathu
Orisol kollu maasai Theeyil vaalvathu
Koorava ingu yenathu aasaiyei
Tholanae vanthu ularu veethiyei
Kodi kodi aasai theerum, maalai

Poovasam thendral odu sera venumae
Aan vaasam, thodudatha degam oolamae
Thaai paasam, pathu maatham, baaram thangumae
Vaalnalin micha baaram, kaathal yenthumae
Neenthana kandu kanavu theeravae
Theendumae unnai illamai ooravae
Nee illamal nillalum yeneku Tholavai

5) Yaar mila tha-Blue.. Music by A.R.Rehman, Lyrics by Abbas Tyrewala..

Yaar mila tha saiyaan ek din
Yaar mila tha saiyaan
Aankhon mein sapne dil mein leke
Pyaar mila tha saiyyaan
Kya main karti saiyyan baiyyan
Kya main karti saiyyaan
Teri yaad mein kitni sadiyaan
Aah bharti saiyyan
Aarre kuch toh sharm kar leti
Aab kya kahengi duniya
Kyun uske sang ho li
Us peepal ki chaaiyaan
Socha nikal loon par pallu woh khencha zor se
Bola sandesa hai laaya woh teri aur se
Haaye dil ghayal zakhmi jiya
Kaise jeeye ab tera piya

Maar diya dulhaniya tu ne
Maar diya dulhaniya
Jeete jee apne saiyaan ko
Maar diya dulhaniya

Hai kusoor kya mera
Batana yu sata main
Teri raah takti thi
Raah takti thi to khafa
Ho gayi thi tu ya bewafa
Ke panghat pe
Ghoonghat ke bina
Jaa baithi kaise tu woh bhi mere bina
Usi panghat pe Jahan jhat se
Pehli baar thaami thi maine Teri kalayi
Harjayi
Jahan dhoop se hum bache the
Jahan Nache the Apne kadam
Aur besharam woh kalayi tu thama ke aayi
Haathon mein na jaane
Kis khotte ke
Kis potte ke
Mere hote se par sote se

Par tu ne hi to usse bheja na?
Ke mera pyaar piya ko dejana

Yaar bulaya saiyaan
Maine yaar bulaya saiyaan
Bhooli saari duniya
Jab ek baar bulaya saiyaan
Toh a gale dulhaniya
Lag jaa a gale dulhaniya
Dhekh ke aapni yaari duniya
Laakh jale dulhaniya

Yaar bulaya saiyaan
Lag jaa a gale dulhaniya
Bhooli saari duniya
Duniya laakh jale dulhaniya

Arre teri waffa ke kisse
Ab ga rahi hai duniya
Har maa kahe bete se
La aise dulhaniya

Haay dil ghayal zakhami jiya
Jeeye bas jeeye ab mera piya


6) In lamhon-Jodha Akbar.. Music by A.R.Rehman.. Lyrics by Javed Akhtar..

In lamhon ke daaman mein
Pakiza se riste hain
Koi kalma mohabat ka
Dohrate farishte hain

Khamosh si hai zameen hairaan sa falak hai
Ek noor hi noor sa ab aasman talak hai
(Nagmein hi nagmein hai jagti soti fizaon mein
Husn hai sari adaon mein
Ishq hai jaise hawaon mein ) —2

Kaise yeh ishq hai
Kaisa yeh khwab hai
Kaise jazbaat ka umda salab hai
Din badle raatein badli, baathein badli
Jeene ke aandaz hi badlein hai

Samay ne yeh kya kiya
Badal di hai kaya
Tumhe mene paa liye
Mujhe tumne paya
Mile dekho aise hai hum
ke do sur ho jaise madham
koi jyada na koi kaam
Kise aag mein
Ke prem aag mein
Jalte dono hi the
tan bhi hai maan bhi
Maan bhi hai tan bhi

Mere khwaabon ke is gulistaan mein
Tumse hi tum bahar chai hai
Phoolon mein rang mere the lekin
In mein khusboon tumhi se aaye hai
Kyon hai yeh arzoo
Kyon hai yeh zustzu
Kyon dil bechain hai
Kyon dil betaab hai
Din badle raatein badli baatien badli
Jeene ke andaaz hi badle hain


7) Siragugal-Sarvam.. Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja.. Lyrics by P.Vijay..

Aahhh... She has such a naughty tone.. I just love her "Pal Pal Hai Bhari" of Swades & "Enthan Vanil Kadhal" of Kadhal Virus, though it was just that she hummed in the former(Imagine how great it is)..
