Kattile Pazhmulam Song from Vilakku Vaangiya Veena – Lyrics in English with Translation
Kaattile pazhmulam thandil ninnum
Paattinte paalaazhi theerthavale
She, who created a milk ocean of music
From the waste bamboo of the forest
Kaattile pazhmulam thandil ninnum
Paattinte paalaazhi theerthavale
She, who created a milk ocean of music
From the waste bamboo of the forest
Aanandhakaarinee amrutha bhaashinee
Gaanavimohinee vannaalum
Someone who gives happiness
Someone who speaks elixir
Someone who flows as music,
Please come
Kaattile pazhmulam thandil ninnum
Paattinte paalaazhi theerthavale
She, who created a milk ocean of music
From the waste bamboo of the forest
Ninakkaay sarvvavum thyajichoru dhaasan
Vilikkunnoo ninne vilikkunnoo
Am a devotee who sacrificed everything for you
Calling you…. Calling you
Ninakkaay sarvvavum thyajichoru dhaasan
Vilikkunnoo ninne vilikkunnoo
Am a devotee who sacrificed everything for you
Calling you…. Calling you
Kanaka gopura nadayil ninnum
Kshanikkunnu ninne kshanikkunnoo
From the entry point of the golden *gopuram
Inviting you…. Inviting you
Kaattile pazhmulam thandil ninnum
Paattinte paalaazhi theerthavale
She, who created a milk ocean of music
From the waste bamboo of the forest
Manmano veenayil…
In my heart veena….
Manmano veenayil nee sruthi cherthoru
Thanthriyilaakave thurumbu vannu
In my heart veena, where you added your tunes
Its strings are rusting now
Manmano veenayil nee sruthi cherthoru
Thanthriyilaakave thurumbu vannu
In my heart veena, where you added your tunes
Its strings are rusting now
Thalayil aniyicha rathna kireedam
The diamond crown I wore on my head
Thalayil aniyicha rathna kireedam
The diamond crown I wore on my head
Tharayil veeninnu thakarunnu
Today, it falls on the floor & is breaking
Tharayil veeninnu thakarunnu
Today, it falls on the floor & is breaking
Kaattile pazhmulam thandil ninnum
Paattinte paalaazhi theerthavale
She, who created a milk ocean of music
From the waste bamboo of the forest
Varavanee Ghanavenee
Varumo nee varumo
One with a blessing voice,
One with thick hairlocks,
Will you come?
Madhura madhuramaa dharsana lahari
Tharumo nee tharumo
Will you give me,
Ecstasy of your sweet darshan?
Mandiramirulunnoo devi…
Thanthrikal thakarunnoo devi…
Thanthrikal thakarunnoo
It’s getting dark,
Strings are breaking
Note: The singer compares the girl to a goddess, and is asking her to come and give darshan, though it’s a sad song
I hum this song so often. It brings peace to my mind. Till today I didn’t know the meaning. I am a Tamilian, loves Malayalam songs. I am so delighted to understand the meaning of the entire song. Thank you from my heart for this beautiful posting.
Thank you
