Iyarkai(English Translation: Nature) is a 2003 Tamil film romance-drama co written and directed by S. P. Jananathan and produced by V. R. Kumar, A.E.Gunasekaran and G. Natarajan for Prisam Films. The film stars Shaam, Arun Vijay, Kutti Radhika and Seema Biswas. This film was a low-budget production and the soundtrack was composed by Vidyasagar. This love story is set against the backdrop of a lost ship on an island. It enjoyed relative success in the Kollywood box office. The soundtrack was a great hit but most importantly, the film won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Tamil for 2003, competing with Virumaandi and Pithamagan as that year's submissions. This movie is loosely based on Dostoyevsky's "White Nights".
Iyarkai is a familiar love triangle that plays out in unfamiliar surroundings. It revolves around a girl and the two men who love her but by placing the happenings in a port town of Rameswaram, the director manages to give the proceedings a fresh feeling.
Aooo-ooooh
Aooo-ooooh
Thought I headed straight
Thought I had it waiting for me
Thought it was my fate
I was only waiting for the sky to fall down
The sword of Damocles
Or at least I thought it was
Had me on my knees
That's when I saw it had the shape of a cross
Aooo-ooooh
I'm ready to give it up (up up up up up up..)
Aooo-ooooh
I heard the call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Aoooo
Reach my heaven alive
A world that's black and white
Has evil haunting every corner
Demons in the night
And no love, no love for the one who ain't right
Aooo-ooooh
I heard the call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the Devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Aoooo
Reach my heaven alive
Aaaah aaah aaah
Aaaah aaah aaah
(We'll lead you home...)
Aooo-ooooh
I heard the call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
I heard their call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the Devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Aoooo
Reach my heaven alive
Aoooo
Now I wanna touch you right away
Aoooo, oooh
Find my own heaven alive
Aooo-ooooh
