Oxymoronic Songs

Some interesting observations about songs I made recently. These are songs with lyrics in which, in each line the poet uses completely opposite phrases to express the feelings. Although it sounds impossible, well poets have done a marvelous job in creating some unforgettable lyrics.

I dont know what these kind of songs are called. I just coined the term "oxymoronic songs". I would love to know if you know more such songs.

First one is "She", written by Charles Aznavour. I particularly liked its rendition by Elvis Castello,
Below is a glimpse of it (Here is complete lyrics)

She may be the beauty or the beast 
May be the famine or the feast 
May turn each day into a Heaven or a Hell 
She may be the mirror of my dreams 
A smile reflected in a stream 
She may not be what she may seem 
Inside her shell....

Second is the song from Mungaru Male, Ivanu Geleyanalla, written by Jayanth Kaikini,
Below is a glimpse of the lyrics, (Here is the complete lyrics)

olava haadiyalli, ivanu nanage hoovu mullu
manada kadalinalli, ivanuu aleyoo bheekara suliyo
ariyadantha hosa kampanavo, yaakoo kaanenu
arita mareta jeeva, vaaladante ivana kadege
sooladante kaaye manave, ulisu nannanu

Third is a title track of the Tamil movie "Kannathil Muthamittal".
Below is a glimpse of the lyrics and its translation, (Here is the complete lyrics)

yenadhu sondham nee, yenadhu pagaiyum nee
kadhal malarum nee karuvil muLLum nee
cheLLa mazhaiyum nee, chiNNa idiyum nee
pirandha udalum nee, piriyum uyirum nee


You are my akin as well as my foe,
the flower of love and a thorn in the womb,
the cherished rain and the clouting thunder,
a neonate body as well as an aching death
