Koottil Ninnum Song from Thalavattam – Lyrics in English with Translation

Koottil ninnum mettil vanna painkiliyalle

Thoovelicham kori nilkkum pookkaniyalle

Is it the bird which came from nest to meadow?

Isn’t it the first sight filled with light?

Aaakasham thaazhunnu

Neeharam thoovunnu

Sky is coming down

Mist is sprinkling around

Kathirolikal padarunnoo

Irulalakal akalunnu

Sun rays are spreading slowly

Waves of darkness are going far away

Punarnnu punarnnu thelinju thelinju

Chuvannu thudutha maanam nokki

While looking into the sky, which

Is awakening to day & turning reddish

Koottil ninnum mettil vanna painkiliyalle

Thoovelicham kori nilkkum pookkaniyalle

Is it the bird which came from nest to meadow?

Isn’t it the first sight filled with light?

 

Ee vazhiyarikil ee thirunadayil

On this pathway

On this divine doorstep (temple),

Ee vazhiyarikil ee thirunadayil

On this pathway

On this divine doorstep (temple),

Ponnin mukil tharum ilam niram vaarichoodi

Manjin thukil padam idum sumathadangal pooki

Adoring the light shade given by golden cloud

By embracing the flowers wearing veils of mist

Marandakanangal ozhukki manassil

Kurichu tharunnu nin sangeetham

Honey drops flowing in mind,

Is taking notes of your music

Koottil ninnum mettil vanna painkiliyalle

Thoovelicham kori nilkkum pookkaniyalle

Is it the bird which came from nest to meadow?

Isn’t it the first sight filled with light?

 

Then kaninirakal then ithalanikal

Rows of honey hives,

Rows of honey petals

Then kaninirakal then ithalanikal

Rows of honey hives,

Rows of honey petals

Thennal narum narum malarmanam engum veeshi

Kaathil kalam kalam kulir mruduswarangal mooli

Fresh flower perfume of breeze is flowing

It’s murmuring cool & soft voices in ears

Ananda pathangal kadannu ananju

Paranju tharunnu nin kinnaram

Crossing infinite paths, reaching me

It’s telling about you

Koottil ninnum mettil vanna painkiliyalle

Thoovelicham kori nilkkum pookkaniyalle

Is it the bird which came from nest to meadow?

Isn’t it the first sight filled with light?

Aakasham thaazhunnu

Neeharam thoovunnu

Sky is coming down

Mist is sprinkling around

Kathirolikal padarunnoo

Irulalakal akalunnu

Sun rays are spreading slowly

Waves of darkness are going far away

Punarnnu punarnnu thelinju thelinju

Chuvannu thudutha maanam nokki

While looking into the sky, which

Is awakening to day & turning reddish

Koottil ninnum mettil vanna painkiliyalle

Thoovelicham kori nilkkum pookkaniyalle

Is it the bird which came from nest to meadow?

Isn’t it the first sight filled with light?
