"Surangani" was originally a Sinhalese Baila song. The Tamil version was written and sung by A E Manoharan. The song has been dubbed in many languages. Manoharan did a bilingual Sinhala /Tamil rendition of the song which became quite popular in Tamil Nadu, mainly due to Radio Ceylon. Ilayaraja then made a Tamil version – which had very little to do with the Sinhala version except for the refrain – for the Tamil film , sung by Malaysia Vasudevan and Renuka. This became popular around secondary schools and colleges in Chennai. Tamil students took it to other universities around India.

A Goan, Konkani version was also made, and many people in India mistakenly believed this was the original. It has featured in translated versions in several Indian movies, in both Tamil- notably the Sivaji Ganesan movie Thanga Padhakkam – and Hindi- it was sung by Asha Bhosle in Parmatma. The song was remixed by Vijay Antony in 2008 film Pandhayam. (en)
