Kannuthurakkatha Daivangale Song from Agniputhri – Lyrics in English with Translation
Kannuthurakkaatha daivangale
Karayaanariyaatha chirikkaanariyaatha
Kaliman prathimakale
Marakku ningalee devadaasiye
Marakkoo marakkoo
Hey, gods who never open eyes
Who don’t know how to cry…
Who don’t know how to smile…
Just clay statues.
Please forget this Devadasi…
Please forget…
Forget…
Aayiramaayiram anthapurangalil
Aaraadhichaval njaan ningale
Aaraadhichaval njaan
In thousands & thousands of *Anthapurams
I am someone who worshiped you all,
Someone who worshiped you all.
Ningalorikkal choodiyerinjoru
Ningalorikkal choodiyerinjoru
Nishaagandhiyaanu njaan
I am a Nishagandhi
Who you wore once & threw away
Kannuthurakkaatha daivangale
Karayaanariyaatha chirikkaanariyaatha
Kaliman prathimakale
Marakku ningalee devadaasiye
Marakkoo marakkoo
Hey, gods who never open eyes
Who don’t know how to cry…
Who don’t know how to smile…
Just clay statues.
Please forget this Devadasi…
Please forget…
Forget…
Karppoora naalamaay ningal than munpil
Kathiyerinjaval njaan
Orunaal kathiyerinjaval njaan
As a camphor flame, in front of you all
I am someone who burned herself,
Someone who burned one day.
Kanneeril mungiya thulasikkathiraay
As a basil leaf filled with tears
Kanneeril mungiya thulasikkathiraay
As a basil leaf filled with tears
Kaalkkal veenaval njaan
Kaalkkal veenaval njaan
I am someone who fell into your feet
I am someone who fell into your feet
Kannuthurakkaatha daivangale
Karayaanariyaatha chirikkaanariyaatha
Kaliman prathimakale
Marakku ningalee devadaasiye
Marakkoo marakkoo
Hey, gods who never open eyes
Who don’t know how to cry…
Who don’t know how to smile…
Just clay statues.
Please forget this Devadasi…
Please forget…
Forget…
