Thumbi Vaa: A Melodious Song in Multiple Languages

Thumbi Vaa is a popular song composed by Ilayaraja for the Malayalam movie Olangal (1982). The song was sung by S. Janaki and written by O.N.V. Kurup. The song is about a butterfly that flits from flower to flower, symbolizing the fleeting nature of life and love.

The song was so well-received that Ilayaraja reused the tune in several other languages, such as Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and even for a background score in Paa (2009). The song has been covered by many artists, including violinists M.S. Viswanath and Roopa Revathi.
