ஹொல்லாந்து ஹெகுலே, மாத்தி அல்லாந்து தள்ளுலெ.Įnglish Translation of the above poem by Bellie JayaprakashĮven when I was down with poverty and sat at the front court yard,Įven when the near and dear ones despised and deserted, Gorey Endhu Hegule Awai Ondhu Ariandhu Nudivile. Kettandhu Hegule Awai Enna Mattandhu Thallule.

His savu songs would bring tears streaming down even in the hardest of hearts. Sadly, no songs were recorded in any studio. Just with a couple of his colleagues accompanying on the thambutte and jalra, he would sing while playing the harmonium. He was a much sought after singer in any function, be it a wedding, savu or anniversary. He could play harmonium, bull bull tara or ‘thambutte’ with equal elan, His greatest ability was to compose and render songs on the spot, some times suitably changing the verses to suit the occassion.
I met him for the first time all most three decades ago. Kerben Bella Gowder Over a period of time, I have listened to a lot of Badaga singers but the best in my opinion is KERBEN BELLA GOWDER who had a golden voice.
