Thaaran Vaalkkannadi Nokki song from Keli – Lyrics in English with Translation

Tharam

The star…

Tharam Vaalkkannaadi Nokki

Nilavalinja Raaviletho

The star…

Looked into the hand mirror

In one of the nights

When moonlight dissolved

Tharam Valkkannadi Nokki

Nilavu Choodi Doore Doore

The star…

Looked into the hand mirror

Adoring moonlight, afar

Njanum Vaalkkannaadi Nokki

I too, looked into the hand mirror

 

Manjaninja Malariyil

Ninavukal Manjaladi Vanna Naal

In the misty stream

The day when memories came wearing turmeric

Manjaninja Malariyil

Ninavukal Manjaladi Vanna Naal

In the misty stream

The day when memories came wearing turmeric

Ilavankam Pookkum Vanamallikkaavil

In the mangrove where cinnamon flowered

Ilavankam Pookkum Vanamallikkaavil

In the mangrove where cinnamon flowered

Pooram Kodiyerum Naal

Eeran Thudi Melathodu Njanum Aaaa…

On flag hoisting day of festival,

I along with percussion

Njanum… Vaalkkannaadi Nokki

I too, looked into the hand mirror

Nilavalinja Raaviletho

Tharam Valkkannadi Nokki

In one of the nights

When moonlight dissolved,

The star…

Looked into the hand mirror

 

Nooru Ponthiri Neettiyen

Maniyara Vaathilodambal Neekki Njan

Lighting 100 wicks

I removed the bolt of bridal chamber

Nooru Ponthiri Neettiyen

Maniyara Vaathilodambal Neekki Njan

Lighting 100 wicks

I removed the bolt of bridal chamber

Ilakkuri Thottu Kanikkudam Thoovi

I put tilak from banana leaf,

Spilled the special pot

Ilakkuri Thottu Kanikkudam Thoovi

I put tilak from banana leaf,

Spilled the special pot

Illam Nira Ullam Nira

Mangalyam Poliyumbol

Nammal Aaaa Nammal

When *Illamnira spills

The happy marriage of hearts

We…..

Vaalkkannaadi Nokki

Nilavalinja Raaviletho

Looked into the hand mirror

In one of the nights

When moonlight dissolved,

Tharam Valkkannadi Nokki

The star…

Looked into the hand mirror

Nilavu Choodi Doore Doore

Njanum Vaalkkannaadi Nokki

Adoring moonlight, afar

I too, looked into the hand mirror
