# A Knock

Rating: 5.0


[ translation from a song of KANNADASAN]

a thousands of them
every door knocked with problems
whatever problem

a frustration shown
is never going to chase
all of them away

[vazhkai aendral aayiram erukkum
vaasal dhorum vaedhanai pirakkum
vantha thunbam aedhuvendralum
vaadiindral ooduvathilai]

Kannadasan was second to none in composing spiritual and moral songs. You can translate all his songs like this and post here, which will be a rich tribute to the composer, who lived his life for Tamil film music.

You have paid a great tribute to the well known poet - by translating his spiritual pieces into English so that many more people can be exposed to his great works...Thanks
