"Aaromale" ... A Cocktail of Soothing Music & Euphonious Lyrics

"Aaromale" ... This is the Malayalam song from the Tamil movie "Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa" and Telugu movie "Ye Maaya Chesave". Both movies are directed by the same person & they were released on the same date. It was Gautham Menon, a south-Indian director who is known for his critically-acclaimed movies & Experimentation behind them. Both movies were well-received by the audience. Now it is being remade in Hindi by the same director. Prior to this, he directed a Hindi movie "Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein", which was a remake of his popular Tamil film "Minnale". He has good taste in music. Songs in his movies always have great music & splendid lyrics, either from Harris Jayaraj or A. R. Rahman.

Coming back to "Aaromale", being a malayalam song, neither Tamil nor Telugu audience doesn't understand its lyrics. Still the song became the chart topper after its release. Music in itself speaks about the situation of the song. Lyrics and variations in the singer's voice conveys the message completely. Credit goes to Rahman, the lyricist Kaithapram & singer Alphons Joseph. From my observation, this is the only song which is a part of two movies from different languages without any change in lyrics or music. I guess, Hindi remake of this movie, as mentioned above, will be using the same song without any change.

Lyrics of the Song ... As most of us don't know the meaning of them, English meaning of the lyrics is also given below:-

          Maamalayeri varum thennal

          (The breeze that climbs over the mountains,)

          Puthu Manavalan thennal

          (The newly-wed breeze…)

          Pallimedaye thottuthalodi kurishil thozhuthu varumbol

          (…that worships the cross on the church steeple,)

          Varavelppinu malayalakkara manasammadham choriyum

          (To that breeze, the land of Kerala extends a warm welcome.)
