Aana Koduthalum Kiliye Song from Oru Painkili Katha – Lyrics in English with Translation
Aanakoduthaalum kiliye aashakodukkaamo (M)
Even if given *Aana (elephant), dear bird,
Is it right to give *Aasa (hope/desire)?
Aashakoduthaalum kiliye vaakkukodukkaamo (F)
Even if given hope, dear bird,
Is it right to give word?
Aanakoduthaalum kiliye aashakodukkaamo (M)
Even if given *Aana (elephant), dear bird,
Is it right to give *Aasa (hope/desire)?
Pidivaashikkaaranaaya munkopakkaaranaaya
Abhimaaniyaayathenthe – enteyachan
Orabhimaaniyaayathenthe?
A person with stubbornness, short-tempered,
A proud person, why did he become so?
My father
Why did he become a person with pride?
Pidivaashikkaaranaaya munkopakkaaranaaya
Abhimaaniyaayathenthe – enteyachan
Orabhimaaniyaayathenthe?
A person with stubbornness, short-tempered,
A proud person, why did he become so?
My father
Why did he become a person with pride?
Enthinaaneekopam aarodaane deshyam
Makanalle njanum makanalle
Chollu panamthathakkiliyalle nee (M)
Why are you angry?
Why this drama?
I am his son,
Am I not your son,
Tell me, parrot
Sneham puthrasneham
Karayattathalavattathathirattathaanenkil
Avideyunde kopam ennumennum
Avideyunde kopam (F)
Love, sincere love for son
If it’s stainless, beyond measure & boundaries
There is this anger, always,
There is this anger
Aanakoduthaalum kiliye aashakodukkaamo (M)
Even if given an elephant, dear bird,
Is it right to give hope/desire?
Aashakoduthaalum kiliye vaakkukodukkaamo (F)
Even if given hope, dear bird,
Is it right to give word?
Orikkalen manassinte poojaamuriyil
Vannoruvaram tharikille nee…Chumbanathin
Panchaamritham tharukille nee (M)
Can you come to my Pooja room one time
And give me one blessing…
Of kiss…
Won’t you give *Panchamritham?
Paavamaameyenne paavayaakki ponne
Adaykkalle koottiladaykkalle
Verum mulamthathakkiliyalle njan (F)
Show some mercy on me,
Making me a toy, dear
Don’t confuse me
Don’t close me in a cage
Am just a bamboo parrot bird!
