Manjin Chirakulla Song from Swagatham – Lyrics in English with Translation

Manjin chirakulla vellarippraave

Ullinte ullil thirayunnathenthe

Hey, dove with wings of mist

What are you searching inside you?

Manjin chirakulla vellarippraave

Ullinte ullil thirayunnathenthe

Hey, dove with wings of mist

What are you searching inside you?

Maunam mayangunna mohangalaano

Thoovalthumbile sindooramaano…

Is it your wishes sleeping in silence,

Or sindoor (vermilion) in the fingertip?

 

Nalinangal neenthunna nayanangalil

Nizhal pole vannu njaanezhazhake

In the eyes where swans swim

I came as shadow,

Hey the one with 7-beauty

Nalinangal neenthunna nayanangalil

Nizhal pole vannu njaanezhazhake

In the eyes where swans swim

I came as shadow,

Hey the one with 7-beauty

Pavizhangal chorunna chundil ninnum

Pozhiyunnathennumen naamamalle

From the lips, where pearls are dripping,

Is it not my name pouring out?

Ariyaathe kaalviral

Kurimaanamezhuthunnuvo…

Devi…devi…devi…

Devi…devi…devi…

Is your toe unknowingly writing a message?

Devi…. Devi….

Ammalayilu immalayilorooma koottil

Chekkerum kiliyamme ku ku ku

In that mountain, in a lovely nest

Is dwelling a mother bird, ku ku ku……

Ammalayilu immalayilorooma koottil

Chekkerum kiliyamme ku ku ku

In that mountain, in a lovely nest

Is dwelling a mother bird, ku ku ku……

Manjin chirakulla vellarippraave

Ullinte ullil thirayunnathenthe

Hey, dove with wings of mist

What are you searching inside you?

Maunam mayangunna mohangalaano

Thoovalthumbile sindooramaano…

Is it your wishes sleeping in silence,

Or sindoor (vermilion) in the fingertip?

 

Athilola mothirakkainunanjen

Akathaaril peythu nee poomazhayaay

By kissing my ring finger,

You poured down as flower rain in my heart

Athilola mothirakkainunanjen

Akathaaril peythu nee poomazhayaay

By kissing my ring finger,

You poured down as flower rain in my heart

Mazhavillu laalicha ninte munnil

Mizhi peeli veeshidunnomalaale

In front of you, nurtured by rainbow

Am blowing my eyelids

Shruthiyaanu njaan

Ennilaliyunna layamaanu nee

Devi…devi…devi…

Devi…devi…devi…

Am *Shruti & you are *Laya dissolving in me

Devi…..Devi….

Ammalayilu immalayilorooma koottil

Chekkerum kiliyamme ku ku ku

In that mountain, in a lovely nest

Is dwelling a mother bird, ku ku ku……

Ammalayilu immalayilorooma koottil

Chekkerum kiliyamme ku ku ku

In that mountain, in a lovely nest

Is dwelling a mother bird, ku ku ku……

Manjin chirakulla vellarippraave

Ullinte ullil thirayunnathenthe

Hey, dove with wings of mist

What are you searching inside you?

Maunam mayangunna mohangalaano

Thoovalthumbile sindooramaano…

Is it your wishes sleeping in silence,

Or Sindoor (vermilion) in the fingertip?
