Ambalapuzhe Unni Kannanodu Nee Song from Adwaitham – Lyrics in English with Translation

Ambalapuzhe Unni Kannanodu Nee

Krishna Krishna Mukunda Janardhana

Krishna Govinda Narayana Hare

Achutananda Govinda Madhava

Sachidananda Narayana Hare (F)

Ambalapuzhe Unnikannanodu nee

Enthu paribhavam melleyothi vannuvo

To the little Kanna of Ambalapuzha

What did you gripe softly?

Kalvilakkukal paathi minni nilkkave

Enthu nalkuvaan enne kaathu ninnu nee (M)

While the stone lamps sparkled half-heartedly

What was it you longed to give me,

Waiting there, just for me?

Thriprasaadavum mouna chumbanangalum

Pankuvaikkuvaan odi vannathaanu njaan

The holy prasad & silent kisses

That’s for, I came running to share with you these

Raaga chandanam ninte nettiyil thodaan

Gopa kanyayay odi vannathaanu njaan (F)

To dot the sandalwood paste of love on your forehead

That’s for, I came running as a Gopi

Ambalapuzhe Unnikannanodu nee

Enthu paribhavam melleyothi vannuvo (M)

To the little Kanna of Ambalapuzha

What did you gripe softly?

 

Aa….aa…..aa…..aa….aa….

Agnisaakshiyaay ilathaali chaarthiyen

Aadhya anuraagam dhanyamaakum

With fire as witness,

When you tie the leaf-shaped mangalsutra

My first love will be blessed

Manthra kodiyil njaan moodinilkkave

Aadhyaabhilaasham saphalamaakum (F)

While I stand covered in a wedding dress

My primary wish shall be granted

Naalaalariye kai pidikkum

Thiru naadaka shaalayil chernnu nilkkum

I shall hold your hand with people witnessing it

I shall stand close to you in the temple hall

Naalaalariye kai pidikkum

Thiru naadaka shaalayil chernnu nilkkum

I shall hold your hand with people witnessing it

I shall stand close to you in the temple hall

Yamuna nadiyaay kulirala ilakum ninavil

As the Yamuna River, a chilly wave will

Undulate in thoughts as well

Ambalapuzhe Unnikannanodu nee

Enthu paribhavam melleyothi vannuvo (M)

To the little Kanna of Ambalapuzha

What did you gripe softly?

 

Eeranode ennum kaivanangumen

Nirmaalya punyam pakarnnu tharaam

All the goodness of prayers I offer every day in moist clothes

I shall share the virtue of Nirmalya

Aere janmamay njaan nonpu nolkkumen

Kaivallyam ellaam kaazhcha vaykkaam (F)

All the fasts I have been observing for many births

I shall offer (give up) that solitude & detachment for you

Veli pennaay nee varumbol

Nallola kudayil njaan koottu nilkaam

When you come as my bride

I shall accompany you with a nice palm leaf umbrella

Veli pennaay nee varumbol

Nallola kudayil njaan koottu nilkaam

When you come as my bride

I shall accompany you with a nice palm leaf umbrella

Thulasee dalamaay thirumalar adikalil veenen

Like a holy basil leaf,

By falling at His feet, (to) my….

Ambalapuzhe Unnikannanodu nee

Enthu paribhavam melleyothi vannuvo

To the little Kanna of Ambalapuzha

What did you gripe softly?

Kalvilakkukal paathi minni nilkkave

Enthu nalkuvaan enne kaathu ninnu nee (M)

While the stone lamps sparkled half-heartedly

What was it you longed to give me,

Waiting there, just for me?

Thriprasaadavum mouna chumbanangalum

Pankuvaikkuvaan odi vannathaanu njaan

The holy prasad & silent kisses

That’s for, I came running to share with you these

Raaga chandanam ninte nettiyil thodaan

Gopa kanyayay odi vannathaanu njaan (F)

To dot the sandalwood paste of love on your forehead

That’s for, I came running as a Gopi
