Innenikku Pottukuthaan song from Guruvayur Kesavan – Lyrics in English with Translation

Aa.. aa..

Innenikku pottu kuthaan

Sandhyakal chaalicha sindhooram

Innenikku kannezhuthaan

Vinnile nakshathra mashi koodu

Today, for me, to put bindi

Sindoor made by dusk

Today, to write kohl in my eyes

Ink given by star cluster at skies

Innenikku pottu kuthaan

Sandhyakal chaalicha sindhooram

Innenikku kannezhuthaan

Vinnile nakshathra mashi koodu

Today, for me, to put bindi

Sindoor made by dusk

Today, to write kohl in my eyes

Ink given by star cluster at skies

 

Ente swapnathin ezhunila veettil

Kancha baanante kalithozhan

In the 7-storied home of my dreams

Cupid is the friend

Ente swapnathin ezhunila veettil

Kancha baanante kalithozhan

In the 7-storied home of my dreams

Cupid is the friend

Kannilaake kathiroli veeshi

Vannu kayaree poyee

Blowing rays, all through eyes,

Came inside & gone

Kannilaake kathiroli veeshi

Vannu kayaree poyee

Blowing rays, all through eyes,

Came inside & gone

Pa.. mapa ni pa

Ga ga ga marisa maripa

Ne dha Ne dha nisa

Ma ri.. nisanidha ninisa

Ninimapa gamarisa

Nisamari pamapa nidha ninisaniri

Pamarisa nisanidha ninisa

Nipamapa gamarisa

Ma ri pa ma nidhanisa

Maripa gamarisari gamarisari

Ri nisarisa nipama mapanidha ninisa

Mapanidha ninisa mapanidha ninisa

 

Innenikku pottu kuthaan

Sandhyakal chaalicha sindhooram

Innenikku kannezhuthaan

Vinnile nakshathra mashi koodu

Today, for me, to put bindi

Sindoor made by dusk

Today, to write kohl in my eyes

Ink given by star cluster at skies

End note: If you closely listen d song, tune is similar to Bole Re Papihara of Guddi sung by Vani Jayaram. Some notes are exactly similar. Both these classical-based songs are based on Miyan ki Malhar raga.
