Anjana Kannezhuthi Song from Thachili Othenan – Lyrics in English with Translation

Anjana Kannezhuthi Song

Anjana Kannezhuthi Aalila Thali Charthi

Arappura Vathilil Njan Kathirunnu

Writing kohl in the eyes,

Wearing a banyan leaf-shaped necklace,

I waited at the doorstep

Manavalan Ethum Neram

Kudumayil Choodanoru

Kudamulla Malar Mala Korthirunnu

When he arrives,

To wear in his hair lock,

I made a garland of jasmine flowers

 

Mudi Mele Kettivachu

Thulunadan Pattuduthu

Mukkutti Chanthum Thottu Njarinnu

I tied my hair up,

Wore *Thulunadan silk,

Wore *Mukutti Sindoor,

And waited

Kanni Vayal Varambathu Kaalocha Kettaneram

Kanni Vayal Varambathu Kaalocha Kettaneram

Kalyana Mani Depam Koluthi Vachu

When I heard footsteps

At the edge of paddy fields,

I lit the lamp

Anjana Kannezhuthi Aalila Thali Charthi

Arappura Vathilil Njan Kathirunnu

Writing kohl in the eyes,

Wearing a banyan leaf-shaped necklace,

I waited at the doorstep

 

Thooshanila Murichu Vachu

Thumbappo Choru Vilambi

Aashicha Kariyellam Nirathi Vachu

I cut a banana leaf,

Served leucas flower-like rice

Also, spread all the curries of his favourite.

Pullukal Urangeettum Poonkozhy Karanjeettum

Kallanavan Vanilla Thozhimaare

Even after birds slept,

And cocks cried (in the morning),

He didn’t come…. friends

Anjana Kannezhuthi Aalila Thali Charthi

Arappura Vathilil Njan Kathirunnu

Writing kohl in the eyes,

Wearing a banyan leaf-shaped necklace,

I waited at the doorstep
