Hi guys 👋 I am so overwhelmed right now! I am definitely amazed by the song but a tad sad thinking how we destroy everything around us and we tend to forget where we come from and our roots! I absolutely adore this song 🎵😍 I love the lyrics, the video, the music.. 🥰 Let me know what's your favourite part of the song! Stay Blessed guys and don't forget that we are all one! 😇
I appreciate your sincere and noble thought about the song,but can mankind change for the absolute freedom of animals from cruel exploitation?Cows,goats,chicken,water-beings,etc the list goes...they say something but still sticking with their greed the next day....That is pure hypocrisy,everyone championing about the song bla bla,but where the sincere action?Mankind simply a cruelest.
Yes, the song seems to have hit the very core of you. Bravo ! you have got deep feelings for nature and all things around you. A Wonderful human being. Cheers !
@@sumathiugamoorthi2692 Mr Kavi. Tamil is pronounced as டமிழ் by foreigners. But THAMIL is pronounced as தமிழ் by foreigner. And tamizhan is pronounced as தமிஜன் by foreigner.
I thought, only the South Indians particularly Tamils can understand this songs, and connect with emotionally. I am surprised westerns too get connected with this song. Something invisibly connects everyone. I am enjoying to cry with this song whenever I feel to cry. It make me weight less my body & soul. வாழ்க தமிழ்.
This song , mainly the second half is in "oppari" style, which is an music form, they sing when a person dies, that has the power to make even the worst enemy of the deceased cry. It is a vanishing art form.

I know u will be cried. because "Tamil" is not only language. It is "mother" of all language in the world. So u can connect with nature and galuxy through this song.
I know that she knows which language the song was, but people who are watching might not know, its 'tamil', the language which I speak. My mother tongue. :-)
Hi... I too from Tamil Nadu, India. I am Tamilian. I am really proud of this song which seeks the young generation around the world to save our agriculture and tradition from the Psychopaths who destroying and polluting our land with many industries.
Glad you react to this Masterpiece Tamil song (the oldest language in world). I am Tamilan too but not from India. The voice texture that you have notice belongs to elder female is called OPPARI singing tunes. This normally sang by elderly people in a wake (funeral normally). It is the form of expression of pain from heart for loss of life. In this song though, it was for the pain of loss of heritage and nature. Normally many people who have empathy soul will start tears up hearing that tunes unknowingly.
Its praising our ansistors who hard worked in soil and build this beautiful nature and left nature ponds lake trees rivers for us. Grand parants talk to grandsons to enjoy my dear
Thank you so much for your reaction. Almost more than 100 times I have heard this song. Wonderful. This song may be applicable to entire world. Proud to be a Tamilian
This song is a vibe also with deep meaning which is very nice. Being a tamilan an Indian i loved how you started to feel the meaning of the song..How u vibed but also with the real meaning n stuff. It really made me happy. More love
This song belongs to the Tamil language. And also, as an Tamilan, country (India) "Parai" & "Murasu" (Musical instrument, the drum which you observed) is played at the beginning of the song. "Parai" & "Murasu" is purely belongs to Tamil tribes (everyone thinks it's an African music played in the beginning) but it's not, followed by they showed "Salangai" wears in both the legs & hands which is followed by the Tamil tribes to express their feelings by the way of dance. This is mostly during auspicious moment, festival, wartime etc.,. Hope you have seen Salangai" wore in "Bharatnatyam" which is a major form of Indian classical dance that originated in Tamil Nadu. Bharatanatyam is also one of the oldest classical dance traditions in India which is often are used to express Hindu religious stories and devotions. So all this shown in the beginning of the song to make positive vibes. And then the soil is shaking. That means, the land is shaking/ hearing/feeling/enjoying to the music. And the girl opens her hand from hiding and coming out to say what is emerging right now... rest is the song... Grandpa is called as "Thatha" in Tamil She is also singing "Cuckoo Cuckoo" hope everyone know it's a bird. But which bird? The answer is given in the next line. "Annakili Annakili" which is a name that has Tamil origin for girl/women and also it's name of the bird as well which is seen widely in Tamil Nadu 50 years back and now no more because of the expansion of development like Cellphone tower, the loss of forests, plains and other natural systems into agriculture, mines, and urban developments, the draining of swamps and other wetlands, and logging reduce potential habitat for many species Let's move on further, somehow now you got the context of the song but still the subtitles are not the exact meaning represented in English which caused not understanding the deep message. So the song start with saying Grandpa weeding out the fields and he finds a kingfisher bird in the trunk hole. The frog is swimming in the water. And here lyrics says the caterpillar is sister. How come? Because frog eats all kinds of worms except caterpillar since it has a toxic body condition. So caterpillar can go and stay near the frog without fear. This is the concept of these lyrics... Further, the rapper is singing that my grandma's has shrink bag (wallet) with betel (Paan) and nuts (Supari) which we have seen already in our life. And then he is telling his own lifestory about his grandma which you can refer the subtitles. Now the girls is saying that our ancestors left this soil with all these blessings. Our forefathers lived across the river banks and did fertile fields. So at that time, every birds and animals felt safe and happy. Our ancestors also fertile the fields across the river and live happily. She also say that the lakes and ponds belong to everyone, not only for humans that includes birds and animals. During middle of the song, especially, when the male singing part comes, it is consider as the Mother Nature is singing or saying that "l planted fives trees, Nurtured a beautiful garden, My garden is flourishing, Yet my throat remains dry" that means the Mother Nature gave us 5 element. They are Earth, Space, Water, Air and Land, then why are you still struggling to survive in this world? Because we have failed to save and look after nature. That's why people suffer from not being able to live with nature everywhere in the world. Everyone thinks that this guy is enjoying and dancing *that's not the actual meaning of the video. To conclude the song... the Mother Nature is also asking (when male singing part) ... This is a serious statement "What the matter my dear? my sugarcane? my grandson? and then it says "Bitter Gourd in my canopy, it has given us seeds, Left by our mom and dad... (By the time they shows the old man smiling and feeling happy) Everyone thinks that they are Farmers or Someone came without meaning... actually they are all our ancestor, they left the seeds through our mom & dad... so what is meant by "Seeds" (it's a hidden message) the exact meaning of "Seeds" represent the "Current modern lifestyle" who failed to save the mother nature. In result, Air pollution, Water pollution, poor management of waste, global warming, growing water scarcity, preservation and quality of forests, biodiversity loss, and land/soil degradation etc we face today. Mother Nature is crying and lamenting to express the own grief and also want to share and assuage. Because of this strong message, this album got very popular all over the world. At the end of the song, they show the group of people which is a root of how humans diversified from our ancestors to till date. Thank you once again for your valuable time to read this lengthy message to get understand about this song from India
This song is about village grandparents talking to their grandkid n village people talking to that grandkid n he talking back to them.......it is about how people of early lived equally with one another, birds, animals. Birds creating forests, due to the forests 3times rains/year n bcoz of the 3 times rain farming was awesome..... Pond, water sources is not only for upperclassmen but it is for all people, birds n animals., all people are equal...... All humans are created equal and r equal. You see, grandparents are ours soul makers n real heros n heroines for us. Their stories their morals make us(South-Indians) ....
We tamil people may give our soul, but we don't give up our tamil language even when we are in dream. Our language is more important for us than anything else in this world.
Thanks for the reaction and thanks for listening to a song in my language. As you said it would be easy to understand the deeper meaning of the song but yeah you got most of it correct and I'm so happy to see this video. Thanks for making my day. wherever you are, Have a wonderful day! stay blessed!
You are not the only one getting the tears with the message...I wish people, governments across the world and most importantly corporates really realize we just have one planet earth, mother nature to live .
Even i felt the same after watching with the subtitles. First i thought it was a peppy song. But the lyrics.👌👌👌.. I don't know how to express what I felt while watching this.. I feel like crying coz of happiness..
Ur true lyrics of song is very emotional. U found it. We are all destroying this beautiful world. We have put into our mind to protect our generations.
Hi, IAm Aakar from chennai, Proud be Indian first, with Tamil culture, you guys are welcome with your two hands our songs and and I am goosbered that you so Mich feel after hearing the song, very thankyou. It a true story happened to Arivu grandma Valliamma. So share her feelings through the song with all effects. I will send you a link to understand more. Bye.

You felt it right. The song is about the different ethnic communities in India, who are marginalized and live in remote villages. But they have contributed also, and they deserve their respect and due. So it's a song which applies to them as well as the whole world as we are all bound to care for the nature, ancestors and our parents. In fact it's a collaboration of the great A R Rahman, an academy award winner who composed songs in Slumdog Millionaire film. The initiative is to encourage independent artists and amateur singers, to give them a platform and guide as well as support them to make their songs and music open to public internationally. It's the first song of the collaboration and there are more to come. Superb song and message. I have listened to the interview of A R Rahman, an Indian musician, though I'm from Mauritius.
You are right. I realised the pain of denial of livelihood to the natives in their own land , at the same time denying the space to the unfortunate fellow living species is really unnatural, huge injustice bestowed on them. The point is they , without any of our "sanction", own this earth by their long inheritance . In the name of development , we have almost tiltd the eco balance to another level. Fear , this has reached the level, not possible to reverse to the glorious days of " the earth is happy home for all". In history , Man suppressed fellow human beings in the name of slavery, mass human displacement took place , pain unbearable to the displaced ??? !!!. Human displacement of already starving population to far of lands , promising them to make a better living is an unthinkable pain. Occupying others land and loot them , rule by arrogance, creating the famine , make them starve by not providing them adequate food , take them to some other country as labourers and leave them to toil just for bread and basic living amenities is one of the worst crime, ever done on this earth committed by men , not the animals to their fellow beings . Are we going to teach these things to our younger generations ?.
By the way .. nothing wrong or shy to cry It's shows u got connected to the song as whole as it nature itself got connected to ur soul reflecting ur real humanistic beliefs & value that u espouse the meaning of living and leading a meaningful life. Glad ur face reddened n eyes swelled showing an honest reaction and not acting & u know what .... u made me sniff n wet my eyes too (sure many would hv too - Bcos that's compassion which we all have But sadly which most either hide or ignore it... Bravo for ur good honest reaction & m proud of u in seeing ur true compassionate side of u 😘👍🏼 keep the good work rolling
Thank you for your comment! I was actually thinking to cut that part as I didn't want to people see me cry but I am happy that a lot of you felt my real emotions!
You are right. The song is about the life with the nature and how we abandon it. Coming together with the nature is what we are. It is very moving and thought provoking. The rhythm and the words and the singers voice and picturisation all are superb.
Dear, enjoyee is the word in Tamil language to call granddaughter with an extreme love, similarly ensaami to call grandson. Here the nature is Grandma which treats his people as granddaughter and grandson and advise to live along with other living beings, and says nature is not only for humans, it's common for all living things. I am very Proud to be tamilian which is the oldest language on the earth.
Nicely reacted. Very much moved when you cried. You have really connected to our language and culture.thanks. you are welcome to India. We take you as our girl
Hey Hi... First of all, thank you so much for your genuine reaction. Also, As an Tamilan, I have my responsibility to explain this song with the exact meaning which is missing in the English subtitles. “Parai” & “Murasu” (Musical instrument) is played in the beginning of the song. “Parai” & “Murasu” is purely belongs to Tamil tribes (everyone thinks it's an African music played in the beginning) but it's not, followed by they showed “Salangai” wears in both the legs & hands which is followed by the Tamil tribes to express their feelings by the way of dance.

Thank you so much for your comment and taking the time to explain it to me! It was very interesting to read your comment! Yes, some of the things I for sure struggled to understand even after reading the lyrics a few times. As I said in the video if there were no subtitles I would just think of it as a positive and unique song with interesting visuals. The subtitles really helped me grasp a bit what it is about and I took the meaning more in global, nature - human perspective. You got me interested in Tamil Culture so I will be checking that out! Thanks again for your comment!
Also, the part with the five trees 🌳 I took it from the perspective that farmers are planting,nurturing and doing all this hard work but they still do not have food on the table because of government exportation and foreign stock export! but your explanation make great sense!
@@LinaAndow It's my pleasure. I'm truly inspired by your humble reply by showing interest in learning about Tamil culture. I will also suggest you to start reacting from the Tamizhi episode (Total 8 episodes) which will blow your mind for sure.

This song is successful that it has reached you.Your words and tears say that.

God bless Arivu, Dhee and the team, God bless you too.

Brief Info on Arivu & Dhee
Dhee is Tamil of srilankan Tamil origin (mother) settled in Australia but now moved to Chennai with Step Dad Santhosh the producer of this video .. She can speak Tamil but can't quite read and write it well as she was brought up in Australia
Like wise Arivu ancestors were from Tamil Nadu near Kutralam - who were taken tho Ceylon (now Srilanka and not ethnic Srilankan Tamils as Dhees's mother Meenakshi Iyer) workers for tea plantation by the Brits when drought that region and was once again displaced after centuries from Srilanka by Srilankan Gov after it got independence from the British.
Which was messed up by the Brits in not sorting the equal rights first as agreed by all parties which was eventually rescinded by the Sinhalese Bandaranayaka PM period
By forcefully removing Tamil of its official status n forcefully inserting Singalese language while removing the Tamil language off school media and how ancient Tamil library and its literal works and arts were burnt down to wipe out Tamil historical traces and that set of the dispute leading to disharmony and friction within the 3 societies -,thanks to one leader (just as the division of India into Pakistan all Bcos Brits messed it up) ... ok enough of this
Arivu tries to narrate the difficulties of people being forcefully displaced and so the importance of ancestors and tiger suede rings and contributions made for their future generation S n that we shd all respect the rights of everyone be it animal plants or creatures as we are one if we become one with Mother Nature
Arivu lamenting denotes that and also he attempts to sing in his grandmother's old creaky voice at certain segment.

Nice reaction sister
Thank you so much for your reaction. Almost more than 100 times I have heard this song. Wonderful. This song may be applicable to entire world. Proud to be a Tamilian
very deep meaningful song
This song is a vibe also with deep meaning which is very nice. Being a tamilan an Indian i loved how you started to feel the meaning of the song..How u vibed but also with the real meaning n stuff. It really made me happy. More love
Beautiful and genuinely heartfelt reaction🙏🙏😊
I loved your honest reaction 💓💓😭💓💓💓😍
You are great dear good job!💜 Loved your reaction
This song belongs to the Tamil
language. And also, as an Tamilan, country (India)
"Parai" & "Murasu" (Musical instrument, the
drum which you observed) is played at the
beginning of the song.
"Parai" & "Murasu" is purely belongs to Tamil
tribes (everyone thinks it's an African music
played in the beginning) but it's not, followed by
they showed "Salangai" wears in both the legs &
hands which is followed by the Tamil tribes to
express their feelings by the way of dance. This
is mostly during auspicious moment, festival,
wartime etc.,. Hope you have seen Salangai"
wore in "Bharatnatyam" which is a major form of
Indian classical dance that originated in Tamil
Nadu. Bharatanatyam is also one of the oldest
classical dance traditions in India which is often
are used to express Hindu religious stories and
devotions.
So all this shown in the beginning of the song to
make positive vibes. And then the soil is
shaking. That means, the land is shaking/
hearing/feeling/enjoying to the music. And the
girl opens her hand from hiding and coming out
to say what is emerging right now... rest is the
song...
Grandpa is called as "Thatha" in Tamil
She is also singing "Cuckoo Cuckoo" hope
everyone know it's a bird. But which bird? The
answer is given in the next line. "Annakili
Annakili" which is a name that has Tamil origin
for girl/women and also it's name of the bird as
well which is seen widely in Tamil Nadu 50 years
back and now no more because of the
expansion of development like Cellphone tower,
the loss of forests, plains and other natural
systems into agriculture, mines, and urban
developments, the draining of swamps and other
wetlands, and logging reduce potential habitat
for many species
Let's move on further, somehow now you got the
context of the song but still the subtitles are not
the exact meaning represented in English which
caused not understanding the deep message.
So the song start with saying Grandpa weeding
out the fields and he finds a kingfisher bird in the
trunk hole. The frog is swimming in the water.
And here lyrics says the caterpillar is sister. How
come? Because frog eats all kinds of worms
except caterpillar since it has a toxic body
condition. So caterpillar can go and stay near
the frog without fear. This is the concept of
these lyrics...
Further, the rapper is singing that my grandma's
has shrink bag (wallet) with betel (Paan) and
nuts (Supari) which we have seen already in our
life. And then he is telling his own lifestory about
his grandma which you can refer the subtitles.
Now the girls is saying that our ancestors left
this soil with all these blessings. Our forefathers
lived across the river banks and did fertile fields.
So at that time, every birds and animals felt safe
and happy. Our ancestors also fertile the fields
across the river and live happily. She also say
that the lakes and ponds belong to everyone, not
only for humans that includes birds and animals.
During middle of the song, especially, when the
male singing part comes, it is consider as the
Mother Nature is singing or saying that "l
planted fives trees, Nurtured a beautiful garden,
My garden is flourishing, Yet my throat remains
dry" that means the Mother Nature gave us 5
element. They are Earth, Space, Water, Air and
Land, then why are you still struggling to survive
in this world? Because we have failed to save
and look after nature. That's why people suffer
from not being able to live with nature
everywhere in the world. Everyone thinks that
this guy is enjoying and dancing *that's not the
actual meaning of the video.
To conclude the song... the Mother Nature is
also asking (when male singing part) ... This is a
serious statement "What the matter my dear?
my sugarcane? my grandson? and then it says
"Bitter Gourd in my canopy, it has given us
seeds, Left by our mom and dad... (By the time
they shows the old man smiling and feeling
happy) Everyone thinks that they are Farmers or
Someone came without meaning... actually they
are all our ancestor, they left the seeds through
our mom & dad... so what is meant by
"Seeds" (it's a hidden message) the exact
meaning of "Seeds" represent the "Current
modern lifestyle" who failed to save the mother
nature. In result, Air pollution, Water pollution,
poor management of waste, global warming,
growing water scarcity, preservation and quality
of forests, biodiversity loss, and land/soil
degradation etc we face today.
Mother Nature is crying and lamenting to
express the own grief and also want to share
and assuage. Because of this strong message,
this album got very popular all over the world.
At the end of the song, they show the group of
people which is a root of how humans
diversified from our ancestors to till date.
Thank you once again for your valuable time to
read this lengthy message to get understand
about this song
from India
Thank you for let use know the meaning of the song,🙂🙂🙂
வாழ்த்துக்கள் நண்பா அருமையாக உள்ளது தங்கள் பதிவு. Tamilzchi from Thanjavur Tamilnadu India.
This song is about village grandparents talking to their grandkid n village people talking to that grandkid n he talking back to them.......it is about how people of early lived equally with one another, birds, animals.
Birds creating forests, due to the forests 3times rains/year n bcoz of the 3 times rain farming was awesome.....
Pond, water sources is not only for upperclassmen but it is for all people, birds n animals., all people are equal...... All humans are created equal and r equal.
You see, grandparents are ours soul makers n real heros n heroines for us. Their stories their morals make us(South-Indians) ....
We tamil people may give our soul, but we don't give up our tamil language even when we are in dream.
Our language is more important for us than anything else in this world.

"The lakes and ponds belong to the dogs, foxes and cats too." Felt a sudden lump in my throat.
Maybe its came from the time u still in ur mother stomach!
@@mahiswaranmutiyarajan5540 Definition of "a lump in one's throat"
: a tight feeling in the throat that a person gets when about to start crying or when trying not to cry
Eg: The movie's final scene left me with a lump in my throat. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/a%20lump%20in%20one%27s%20throat
Yes this song will impact so deep & mesmerising love you guys 🙏
You felt it right.
The song is about the different ethnic communities in India, who are marginalized and live in remote villages. But they have contributed also, and they deserve their respect and due. So it's a song which applies to them as well as the whole world as we are all bound to care for the nature, ancestors and our parents.
In fact it's a collaboration of the great A R Rahman, an academy award winner who composed songs in Slumdog Millionaire film.
The initiative is to encourage independent artists and amateur singers, to give them a platform and guide as well as support them to make their songs and music open to public internationally. It's the first song of the collaboration and there are more to come.
Superb song and message.
I have listened to the interview of A R Rahman, an Indian musician, though I'm from Mauritius.
You are right. I realised the pain of denial of livelihood to the natives in their own land , at the same time denying the space to the unfortunate fellow living species is really unnatural, huge injustice bestowed on them. The point is they , without any of our "sanction", own this earth by their long inheritance . In the name of development , we have almost tiltd the eco balance to another level. Fear , this has reached the level, not possible to reverse to the glorious days of " the earth is happy home for all". In history , Man suppressed fellow human beings in the name of slavery, mass human displacement took place , pain unbearable to the displaced ??? !!!. Human displacement of already starving population to far of lands , promising them to make a better living is an unthinkable pain. Occupying others land and loot them , rule by arrogance, creating the famine , make them starve by not providing them adequate food , take them to some other country as labourers and leave them to toil just for bread and basic living amenities is one of the worst crime, ever done on this earth committed by men , not the animals to their fellow beings . Are we going to teach these things to our younger generations ?.
Thanks....Nature is true...Nature is love...Nature is love...Farmers gift of God...❤️❤️
The only person (among a ton of reactors) who truly understood the song...👍👍
Thanks for the excellent reaction, you are great !!!
thank you! very sweet of you!
I love that ,how do you deeply understand the meaning... ❤️
No one is sad or cry in these video..they all looks happy...but it makes u cry dear... Thats the power of the oldest language in this world 🌎
That was a great reaction from you sister for such a wonderful and soulful song..
Just digging my Root... with tear 😢😢😢
By the way .. nothing wrong or shy to cry
It's shows u got connected to the song as whole as it nature itself got connected to ur soul reflecting ur real humanistic beliefs & value that u espouse the meaning of living and leading a meaningful life.
Glad ur face reddened n eyes swelled showing an honest reaction and not acting &
u know what .... u made me sniff n wet my eyes too (sure many would hv too - Bcos that's compassion which we all have
But sadly which most either hide or ignore it...
Bravo for ur good honest reaction & m proud of u in seeing ur true compassionate side of u 😘👍🏼 keep the good work rolling
Thank you for your comment! I was actually thinking to cut that part as I didn't want to people see me cry but I am happy that a lot of you felt my real emotions!
You are right. The song is about the life with the nature and how we abandon it. Coming together with the nature is what we are. It is very moving and thought provoking. The rhythm and the words and the singers voice and picturisation all are superb.
In this song she is nature goddess
superb reactions sister.. u r fabulous 😘😘😘
That is Tamil power ❤️😘❤️❤️
Genuine reaction ❤️ what you said is true it’s emotional ❤️❤️❤️
Dear sister, I realized that this Tamil song and music melted your heart through the tears you shed.
Dear, enjoyee is the word in Tamil language to call granddaughter with an extreme love, similarly ensaami to call grandson. Here the nature is Grandma which treats his people as granddaughter and grandson and advise to live along with other living beings, and says nature is not only for humans, it's common for all living things. I am very Proud to be tamilian which is the oldest language on the earth.
True .Thanks for the "meaning of enjoyee is the grand daughter and enjami is gramd son " !! Song makes more meaning with this understanding ,thanks
Apdi oru word irukalam... but in this song it is not that meaning bro... original subtitles la Enjoy my dear nu dhan potrukanga...
Thanks for the beautiful reaction
Nicely reacted. Very much moved when you cried. You have really connected to our language and culture.thanks. you are welcome to India. We take you as our girl
Oh don't cry dear... Just love it and feel.. ❤️
Very nice authentic reaction. Keep it up
Hey Hi... First of all, thank you so much for your genuine reaction. Also, As an Tamilan, I have my responsibility to explain this song with the exact meaning which is missing in the English subtitles.
“Parai” & “Murasu” (Musical instrument) is played in the beginning of the song.
“Parai” & “Murasu” is purely belongs to Tamil tribes (everyone thinks it's an African music played in the beginning) but it's not, followed by they showed “Salangai” wears in both the legs & hands which is followed by the Tamil tribes to express their feelings by the way of dance. This is mostly during auspicious moment, festival, wartime etc.,. Hope you have seen Salangai” wore in “Bharatnatyam” which is a major form of Indian classical dance that originated in Tamil Nadu. Bharatanatyam is also one of the oldest classical dance traditions in India which is often are used to express Hindu religious stories and devotions.
So all this shown in the beginning of the song to make positive vibes. And then the soil is shaking. That means, the land is shaking/hearing/feeling/enjoying to the music. And the girl opens her hand from hiding and coming out to say what is emerging right now... rest is the song...
Grandpa is called as “Thatha” in Tamil
She is also singing “Cuckoo Cuckoo” hope everyone know it's a bird. But which bird?

Thank you once again for your valuable time to read this lengthy message to get understand about this song 🙏🏼 ❤️ from Canada
Thank you so much for your comment and taking the time to explain it to me! It was very interesting to read your comment! Yes, some of the things I for sure struggled to understand even after reading the lyrics a few times. As I said in the video if there were no subtitles I would just think of it as a positive and unique song with interesting visuals. The subtitles really helped me grasp a bit what it is about and I took the meaning more in global, nature - human perspective. You got me interested in Tamil Culture so I will be checking that out! Thanks again for your comment!
Also, the part with the five trees 🌳 I took it from the perspective that farmers are planting,nurturing and doing all this hard work but they still do not have food on the table because of government exportation and foreign stock export! but your explanation make great sense!
@@LinaAndow It's my pleasure. I'm truly inspired by your humble reply by showing interest in learning about Tamil culture. I will also suggest you to start reacting from the Tamizhi episode (Total 8 episodes) which will blow your mind for sure. This episode is about the oldest language in the world with proof and references. Already many of them were reacted to this video and got surprised. Looking forward to seeing you soon in that reaction video. Anyway, from now, I have subscribed to your channel and I'm also one of your followers as well 😅 this is the link for episode 1 and the rest you'll find it, once you start your reaction 🙏🏼 ruclips.net/video/ayWLeakDbZk/видео.html

thank u! I will have a look at it !
@@LinaAndow I agree with your perspective. It's a truth which you have come up with. Well done 👏
This song is successful that it has reached you.Your words and tears say that. Yes we need to get connected to our roots, respect our elders and above all preserve the nature around us without polluting it with chemicals, plastics and manufactured inorganic fertilizers(urea). God bless Arivu, Dhee and the team, God bless you too.
That's one of the best genuine reaction for a deserving content that i have ever seem before
