Ujjayiniyile Gaayikaa song from Kadal Palam – Lyrics in English with Translation

Ujjayiniyile Gaayikaa

Urvvashiyennoru Maalavika

Shilpikal Theertha Kaalidaasante

Kalprathimayil Maalayittu

A singer from Ujjain,

A Malavika named Urvasi

In the stone statue of Kalidasa,

Made by sculptors,

She put garland

Ujjayiniyile Gaayikaa

Urvvashiyennoru Maalavika

Shilpikal Theertha Kaalidaasante

Kalprathimayil Maalayittu

A singer from Ujjain,

A Malavika named Urvasi

In the stone statue of Kalidasa,

Made by sculptors,

She put garland

 

Rithu Devathayaay Nritham Vechuu

Munikanyakayay Poojichuu

Himagiri Puthriyaay Thapassirunnuu Aval

Swayamvarappanthalil Orungi Ninnuu

She danced as goddess of seasons

She worshiped as hermit girl

She did tapas as daughter of Hima Giri (Himavan)

& She came prepared in Swayamvara Pandal

Ujjayiniyile Gaayikaa

Urvvashiyennoru Maalavika

Shilpikal Theertha Kaalidaasante

Kalprathimayil Maalayittu

A singer from Ujjain,

A Malavika named Urvasi

In the stone statue of Kalidasa,

Made by sculptors,

She put garland

 

Aliyum Shilayude Kannu Thurannuu

Kalayum Kaalavum Kumbittuu

Avalude Manjeerashinjithathil Srishti-

Sthithiulayathalangalothungi Ninnuu

The melting statue opened its eyes

Art and time bowed before it

In the sound of her anklet

Even the rhythms of *Shrishti *Sthiti & *Layam

Stayed calm & quiet

Ujjayiniyile Gaayikaa

Urvvashiyennoru Maalavika

Shilpikal Theertha Kaalidaasante

Kalprathimayil Maalayittu

A singer from Ujjain,

A Malavika named Urvasi

In the stone statue of Kalidasa,

Made by sculptors,

She put garland

Yugakalpanayude Kallinu Polum

Yuvagaayikayude Daahangal

Oru Punarjanmathin Chiraku Nalki Avar

Swayam Marannangane Parannuyarnnu

Even for the stone of creativity of yugas,

The intense desire of the (female) singer

Gave wings of reincarnation.

Forgotten themselves

Both rose to fly

Ujjayiniyile Gaayikaa

Urvvashiyennoru Maalavika

Shilpikal Theertha Kaalidaasante

Kalprathimayil Maalayittu

A singer from Ujjain,

A Malavika named Urvasi

In the stone statue of Kalidasa,

Made by sculptors,

She put garland

*Shrishti *Sthiti & *Layam – Rhythms of universe (birth, growth, salvation)
