If at all there was a song that spoke of cross cultural healing then it is Surangani the Sinhalese song which made its way into the hearts and tongue of every Tamilian. A song that was a regular fixture in any bus carrying a bunch of School children or College folks on an excursion or for that matter even a general family picnic. As the bus passed by carrying the revellers one could savour the trails of Surangani…reverberate in your ears.
Last night I googled it up and made my seven year old daughter listen to it and believe it or not, I found her humming to the tunes of Surangani this morning as soon as she woke up. For all you lovers of this song please find below the link to the Sinhalese version and the oldest known Tamil version. As they say ensoooy!!!
