I Loved You...

I was just going through a blog where I fished this nice piece of poem...

I Loved You
By Alexander Pushkin

I loved you, even now I may confess
Some embers of my love their fire retain
But do not let it cause you more distress-
I do not want to sadden you again.

Hopeless and tongue-tied, yet, I loved you dearly
With pangs the jealous and the timid know
So tenderly I loved you, so sincerely,
I pray God grant another love you so.

Aagaya Gangai

Tuned to scale-F in 1979, the song 'Aagaya Gangai' is still entertaining music lovers. For those who know Tamil, the songs instills a romantic sensation in them. Even after hearing the song more than 200 times, whenever I hear this song, I feel refreshed. I enjoy the violin-flute duo pieces in the song. Recently, I got to know that a similar song exists in Kannada too, with the lyrics emphasising on friendship. Need to hear the Kannada version of the song...Sad part is that, many good songs like this are not aired in the Indian based radio channels. Real tribute to these songs are given by the Tamil channels worldwide especially Singapore and Chinese short waves.
