Chandana Manivathil Pathi Chari song from Marikkunnilla Njan – Lyrics in English with Translation

Chandana Manivathil Paathi Chaari

Hindolam Kannil Thira Ilakki

Sringara Chandrike Neeradi Nee Nilke

Enthayirunnu Manasil

Closing half…

The sandalwood door,

Stirring waves of *Hindola raga in eyes,

While romantic moon,

You were bathing,

What was in your mind?

Chandana Manivathil Paathi Chaari

Hindolam Kannil Thira Ilakki

Sringara Chandrike Neeradi Nee Nilke

Enthayirunnu Manasil

Closing half…

The sandalwood door,

Stirring waves of *Hindola raga in eyes,

While romantic moon,

You were bathing,

What was in your mind?

 

Ennodenthinolikkunnu Nee Sakhi

Ellam Namukkorupoleyalle

What are you hiding from me, dear?

Everything is common for us

Ennodenthinolikkunnu Nee Sakhi

Ellam Namukkorupoleyalle

What are you hiding from me, dear?

Everything is common for us

Andhya Yaamathile Manjettu Pookumee

Swarna Mantharangal Sakshi Alle

These golden *mandara flowers

Blossoming in the mist of late-night hours,

Are they not witnessing everything?

Chandana Manivathil Paathi Chaari

Hindolam Kannil Thira Ilakki

Sringara Chandrike Neeradi Nee Nilke

Enthayirunnu Manasil

Closing half…

The sandalwood door,

Stirring waves of *Hindola raga in eyes,

While romantic moon,

You were bathing,

What was in your mind?

 

Naanam Poothu Virinja Laavanyame

Yamini Kaama Sugandi Alle

Beauty, blossomed with shyness,

Midnight also gives lusty perfume.

Naanam Poothu Virinja Laavanyame

Yamini Kaama Sugandi Alle

Beauty, blossomed with shyness,

Midnight also gives lusty perfume.

Maaya Viralukal Thottal Malarunna

Maadaka Maunangal Nammal Alle

Are we not sensuous silences,

Which blossom with the touch of magical fingers?

 

Chandana Manivathil Paathi Chaari

Hindolam Kannil Thira Ilakki

Sringara Chandrike Neeradi Nee Nilke

Enthayirunnu Manasil

Closing half…

The sandalwood door,

Stirring waves of *Hindola raga in eyes,

While romantic moon,

You were bathing,

What was in your mind?

Chandana Manivathil Paathi Chaari

Hindolam Kannil Thira Ilakki

Sringara Chandrike Neeradi Nee Nilke

Enthayirunnu Manasil

Closing half…

The sandalwood door,

Stirring waves of *Hindola raga in eyes,

While romantic moon,

You were bathing,

What was in your mind?

 

*In this song, poet calls stars as white mandara flowers

*Hindola/Hindolam is a raga in Carnatic music
