Hello :) Today we'll be learning the song Poo pookum osai, which means the sound of
flowers blooming.
It is a pretty straightforward song, there are only four chords in the whole song.
Mainly there are actually only two chords but there are two more that come breifly just
in between, not very often.
The main part of the whole song, the bulk of it, is made up of only two chords, and
it is very straightforward.
One thing to note: these chords are not arranged in the original key of the song but you can
transpose them to the original key if you would like.
The two main chords that are in this song are the D major chord… so if you look at
our fretboard, here is one, here is two, so go to the second one and put one, two, three,
three fingers.
So that is your D major chord.
Practise strumming with that chord.
Then we have the G major chord.
So for the G major chord again, second, one, two.
This time we will be using this bottom one and this.
So use your first finger, finger number one, to go here: second from the top.
And then your second finger should go here, the bottom one.
And then the third finger goes here.
Do you see that?
Ok.
So this is your G major chord.
For those two chords, practise switching back and forth between them, so… it'll be a
fast switch.
So just to give you an idea…
Poo pookum osai, athai kaetka thaan aasai. (The sound of flowers blooming, (I) want to hear it.)
Pul viriyum osai, athai kaetka thaan aasai. (The sound of grass unfurling, (I) want to hear it.)
Patchigalin ku ku ku, pootchigalin ring ring ring, (The birds' 'ku ku ku,' the bugs' 'buzz buzz buzz…')
So…
Patchigalin ku ku ku, pootchigalin ring ring ring, (The birds' 'ku ku ku,' the bugs' 'buzz buzz buzz…')
Notice the (chord sequence) switching there, so it's changed.
Instead of going one, two, two, one, we've switched to one, two, one, two.
And then for 'Sangeetham' (the next line) we go back to the one-two-two-one chord sequence.
Sangeetham solli tharume thanga penne. (… will teach you the essence of music, oh golden girl.)
The other two chords in this song are C major, so here is our C chord, so one, two, three
at the bottom, that's it.
You just hold that.
So that comes in only at the part where we sing 'Bhoomi oru veenai.' (the Earth is a veena)
So it will be a C and then there is one other chord, the fourth chord.
The fourth chord is A minor.
So go to the top here, and we go one, two.
Sorry you can use your second finger.
So practise switching between that C major and the A minor.
And where it comes in is…
Bhoomi oru veenai, athu kaatrin kaigal meettudhe (The Earth is a veena (instrument), the wind's hands are playing it/striking its strings,)
Kaetkum mozhi ellaam, All the words/utterences we can hear,
Let me sing you the chorus so you know exactly where it comes in:
Poo pookum osai, athai kaetka thaan aasai. (The sound of flowers blooming, (I) want to hear it.)
Pul viriyum osai, athai kaetka thaan aasai. (The sound of grass unfurling, (I) want to hear it.)
Patchigalin ku ku ku, pootchigalin ring ring ring, (The birds' 'ku ku ku,' the bugs' 'buzz buzz buzz…')
Sangeetham solli tharume thanga penne. (… will teach you the essence of music, oh golden girl.)
KaalOdu salangai pooti, tharai ellam veenai neetti, (Tying anklets on the feet, and spreading veenas all over the ground,)
Nadhi paadum paadal kaelai pattu penne. (Listen to the song the river/stream is singing, oh silky girl)
Bhoomi oru veenai, athu kaatrin kaigal meettudhe (The Earth is a veena (instrument), the wind's hands are playing it/striking its strings,)
Kaetkum mozhi ellaam, ada sa ri ga ma pa da nee sa riiiiii… (All the words/utterences we can hear, are do-re-me-fa-so-la-ti-do-reeeeee…)
Poo pookum osai, athai kaetka thaan aasai. (The sound of flowers blooming, (I) want to hear it.)
Pul viriyum osai, athai kaetka thaan aasai. (The sound of grass unfurling, (I) want to hear it.)
And then, when you have an interlude between this and the verse, there is something that
you can do easily.
What you do is you play the same strumming pattern and sing a portion of the (original)
interlude, there is an easy portion to sing.
So it goes like this…
Or you can sing it with…
Kan thoongum naerathil, mounathin jaamathil, (At that time when eyes sleep, that hour of silence,)
And then you go straight into the next verse.
In the verses we have the same chords, we just switch the pattern (chord sequence) around
according to the verses.
So the first part of the verse is going to be one, two, one, two.
And then the second part is one, two, two, two.
So that is D, G, D, G, D, G, G, G.
So it will go like this:
Kan thoongum naerathil, mounathin jaamathil, (At that time when eyes sleep, that hour of silence)
Kadikaara chattham sangeetham. (The ticking of the clock is music.)
Kan kaanaa dhooratthil, sruthi saerum thaalatthil, (At a distance too far to see by eye, to the rhythm that matches the key,)
Rail pOgum osai sangeetham. (The sound of the train chugging by is music.)
And then we go back to the one, two, two, one pattern (chord sequence).
So D, G, G, D. It will be like:
Pasi konda naeram thaalikkum Osai, (The time when you're hungry, a plate has a sound,)
Pasi konda naeram thaalikkum Osai, (The time when you're hungry, a plate has a sound,)
And then for 'SanthOsha sangeetham,' (the next line) it will be D, G, G, G again.
SanthOsha sangeetham (... such happy music.)
And then back to D, G, G, D.
Thaalaattum annaikkellaam thangal pillai maarbil mutti, To all mothers dandling their child, pressing to (their) chest,
Paal unnum sattham sangeetham… (The sound of them suckling milk is music…)
Poo pookum osai, athai kaetka thaan aasai. (The sound of flowers blooming, (I) want to hear it.)
Pul viriyum osai, athai kaetka thaan aasai. (The sound of grass unfurling, (I) want to hear it.)
Good luck! Bye :)
